I understand the sentiment here, so this isn’t directed at you, but I’ve never understood the at least they didn’t physically suffer idea. Sudden fear and confusion right before death is awful.

Sharing culture is one of the most beautiful things humanity has to offer each other.

Yeah we know that but does the average American whose only use of the word Persian comes from rugs, coffee, and mahbe some sweets.

Not trying to be snarky, but do you understand the concept of equity?

Yeah what point is that?

Lol the guy says one thing I agree with and I’m supposed to throw out everything else I know about him. Get real.

Lol who is downvoting this is one of the steps that must be taken.

They could be smart about it. No taxation on inheritance under 2 million (I’m pulling these #s from the sky). Anything over gets taxed progressively; if if these billionaires won’t pay up during life we can grab it on the way out.

Why you following him? Just wondering.

Lol yeah exactly… Its such a brain dead take.

Yeah watch me not deny it tho; I intended for it to be snarky and anticipated this impact.

I’ll counter your anectdote with my own. Every single Linux community member I have encountered on my journey to use this as a daily driver (arch BTW) has been incredibly helpful.

Intention vs. Impact, look it up.

I downvoted because of the snark in first paragraph.

Yeah fuck this guys (OP, not the person I’m replying under) take. Hobbies need less gatekeepers and if I want to do research about gear, make nice purchases as a way to deepen my investment into the hobby so be it.

Example: I just got into fitness. I have almost no need for some of the products ive been buying, however through the research ive stumbled across some excellent articles and a few YouTube channels that inspire me. Even if the gear / gadgets do nothing more than inspire you to show up and try them out, its worked.

This is the way, van even organize into categories. I’ve never understood the appeal of having 400+ tabs open in a browser all the time.

You’re 100% correct but it causes people to look inward and most can’t wrestle with that dissonance.

Female animals are repeatedly raped, have their children taken, are forced to produce milk, etc. Males are culled yeaaaars earlier than average life expectancy or turned into meat pulp instantly in the case of chicken farms. Rinse repeat forever. All in disgusting conditions, but hey at least we can eat meat 🙄.

Go against the grain and order plant based alternatives and attempt to eat vegetarian / vegan as often as possible. Try it for 6 months, the meat isn’t going anywhere.

Dude OP isn’t even mortal at this point; he has ascended to godhood. That compressor sound and ice dropping into the plastic basket only powers him up.

I’m picturing this thing literally on your nightstand. Please tell me I’m right.

Maybe the second diagnosis isn’t multiplicative.
