Cool story bro
Now try being this angry about cops when THEY break things and steal shit and yknow KILL PEOPLE.
This. Even "liberals" are out here "PROTEST IS COOL AND ALL BUT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY JUST MAKES EVERYONE HATE YOUR CAUSE" over a fucking sticker or sign stuck to something.
A vague interest in taking my data away from "Big Tech" led me to get hosting a few years back and use a private email solution professionally hosted. Last year, I bought a pi then went through a breakup and didn't touch it until recently haha.
I just had to rebuild from scratch but I'm running Flame dashboard, Vaultwarden, Nextcloud, Baikal, and a rickroll server disguised as a Docs app, because I'm a red blooded American. :P (and the boring stuff lol)
OOOOHHHHHHHHH You're comparing apples to turnpikes and claiming it a win. Gotcha. Have fun mate.
If it's the same writing I'm thinking of I'll try to remember to link it when I get home.
"Tolerance isn't an ideal, it's a contract you're automatically entered into at birth. The contract protects all involved who agree to the contract, but if you break the binds of the contract you are no longer entitled to it's protections. To be intolerant of an intolerant person does not break ones commitment to the contract because the intolerant person is no longer protected by the contract. "
Paraphrased AF
I saw a dude with nazi tats on the bus today and while I didn't hit him what I told him after he got all huffy and in my face for saying "fuck you nazi" would probably get me moderated. But it involved a famous Inglorious Bastards reference and how it would be the centerpiece at a party I'd be arranging if he touched me.
We did it over multiple centuries
My brother in Christ we haven't BEEN HERE for multiple centuries. Fun watching people give zero fucks that their defense of the status quo doesn't make a damn lick of sense or even adhere to basic knowledge of reality.
I try so hard to show people how to do things themselves when they ask me to help them with various tech......whatever, and almost universally get told "no."
Magic rectangle take me to Facebook, if it doesn't I need someone to make the magic rectangle take me to Facebook, and I refuse to understand it any further.
Yes. If we had infinite money, infinite time, and the ability to put people into stasis while we tear up entire cities to retrofit them for a train system… that still wouldn’t solve the problem.
Fun how we had zero fucking problem doing it to every city in the country for cars. 🤷
EDIT: lol so the !fuckcars on lemmy.world is just pro car drama addicts, got it.
I have the same problem in a heavily conservative city - I have a big beard so many of my social conversations go from "shitty job market eh?" to "Target funds antifa terrorists" in record time.
Literally under 30 seconds one time, gave me whiplash. 😂
