Do you want the total war?

Do you want it, if necessary, more total and radical than anything that we can yet today even conceive?

-Bibi Goebels, basically

Any gender you like as long as it’s gay <3

Selene from Underworld.

While my Trekkie side offers Michael Burnham (Discovery), Kira and Dax (DS9), Seven of Nine (Voyager), Una and La’an and Nurse Chapel (Strange New Worlds). I’m surely forgetting a bunch.

How about Arya Stark and Brienne of Tarth (Game of Thrones)?

Haha I’m driving my 13-year-old car like, what you all don’t have buttons?!

Oh yes, my phone is nearly impossible to use as a camera, between the inherently awkward shape, the case, and the long processing delay. Does it work? Yes. But it’s not much fun. I love the ergonomic grip(s) of my DSLR and how every button and dial is in a natural position.

That’s another thing we miss, plain old tactile feedback of buttons, dials, sliders, switches.

Not as strange or pointless as it might seem at first glance, I’m reminded of this article from years ago comparing the experience of a modern phone with the old handsets: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/08/why-people-hate-making-phone-calls/401114/

What does Gen Z suffer from even more than the rest of us? Loneliness, isolation. So using a phone that is designed with physical comfort foremost is a way of reclaiming a sense of social connection and physical touch (“reach out and touch someone”), even when distances between callers are great. And touching the cord, again, a way of feeling the connection with the other person, which in a world of wireless devices isn’t possible – there’s nothing there but empty space. It’s not just about twirling the cord.

This isn’t to suggest there are no benefits to smartphones, and others here suggest earbuds to improve call quality and ergonomics. But the fact is modern smartphones are designed to do many things OK-ish in compromise, but nothing so well as the other devices they replace (phones, TVs, calculators - remember those?, flashlights, keyboards, etc etc.)

Do you mean to suggest that linking gender-affirming care to satanism/pedophilia, eugenics and hard drug use, in one disjointed pseudo-religious rant is indicative of an agenda? I am shocked!!

I love how you basically state “here’s what I believe!” and then try to deflect all criticism by saying you don’t trust medical studies from the past 30 years.

If you are not receptive to new information, it seems to me that is the definition of blind belief and brainwashing.

Reminds me of Oswald Mosley (leader of the British fascist party c. 1930s) saying that it didn’t matter if they won tomorrow or after a hundred years. Thankfully he was wrong about winning… but truly these fascist fuckers will always pop up somewhere.

We know it’s a bad idea, we know it’s a dangerous idea, we know it’s a deadly idea, and a complete failure in practice. Sign me up! /s

I think the difference is posting on lemmy isn’t quite the same as having an entire society’s fate in your hands.

I can ignore despicable politicians, but that doesn’t prevent them getting elected and targetting people like me.

Back in the days when unicorns were unicorns, and girls were girls.

And unicorns would probably do totally sick shit like carry off little girls and eat their livers.

Simpler times.

Hi, unicorn here. We do exist!

it’s funny because being homophobic is a choice, being gay isn’t. So indeed it makes more sense to punish homophobes, as they are the ones who can actually change.

You think you can get the media again if need be.

Depending on how large your collection is, would you remember every item in it? How much effort did you put into organizing it?

IME it’s far more of an inconvenience and expense rebuilding data from scratch than properly backing it up. And the peace of mind from a robust, tried and true DR process is golden.

using term ‘communist’ in context of progressive far-left socialism

Really?! I made a ridiculously tongue-in-cheek comment, but of all the vile implications of blaming a single minority group for destroying the world, this was your rebuttal?

extremist organization

Of course, why did nobody ever think of targetting the President of Homosexual International?! Perhaps a drone strike? I bet he’s hiding in a school or hospital somewhere in Ukraine.

Can we not blame gay Jews?

Like especially the communist gay Jews, the true root of global disharmony

Limiting what structures can be built/open and where isn’t oppression, it’s standard government policy everywhere on earth. People can still believe whatever they want.

Only discriminatory if it favors one group over another, so ban them all.

Wilders wants to ban mosques

That’s cool, as long as we ban churches, cathedrals, synagogues, and temples at the same time.

I really didnt know this guy was still around, he hasn’t been making the world headlines so much in recent years.

Look I understand, I really do.

When I was a kid, I was told to beware of clothes irons because they are hot.

But one day, curiosity got the better of me, and I touched the damn thing to see if it was hot. Hurt like hell, still have the scar to this day. But I don’t touch hot surfaces anymore.

Go on Argentina, touch the iron :)
