FYI Izzy got permabanned for stating this opinion. That's really insane.

F droid is EXCELLENT
One more reason I hate sp0tify
They literally don't have a choice. No decent candidate has made it through the primaries in decades. In the GE voters can only choose between two Monstrous Goons whose job is to help corporations to dominate and exploit the citizens.
I'm surprised anybody was getting in vehicles with him after the coup attempt.
I'm all for banning guns.
But I am NOT interested in simply removing a person's capacity to kill themselves and then leaving their desire to kill themselves intact... and then ignoring the conditions that are making hordes of people depressed enough to kill themselves.
I'm also 100% interested in the people who are depressed but who aren't suicidal. I want people to live their best lives. This conversation should be about them, about what's causing this about whether we can help. I want to know what's wrong. I want them to stop wanting to kill themselves.
Again, I'm not saying "don't go to therapy." We are talking about a nationwide phenomenon of depression, suicide, addiction. Therapy can help some of those people. But this phenomenon has some cause. All this talk of therapy is seeking to add therapy instead of removing the cause.
I want to respond to the cause itself, rather than only adding therapy.
Therapy can possibly help heal. I'm more interested in reducing the conditions which make therapy necessary.
Increased gun ownership isn't causing a mental health crisis.
I 100% agree but I still appreciate anarchism as a critical position. Not a system to actually implement, but a criticism of the corrupt nature of the current regime.
I'm not an anarchist but I'd miss their perspectives if they weren't around.
The fact that public healthcare probably won't happen is different from the argument that we should trust predatory insurance companies.
Plus you don't have to go to China for public health care. You could go to Canada or the UK, obviously. And they're capitalist as fuck. Although capitalism will likely get rid of their public healthcare eventually, they haven't succeeded yet.
Today I installed Windows on my laptop and then I visited Reddit without being logged in. The two experiences are very similar.
I usually use Linux, so installing a new OS is really clean. You just end up with an empty operating system and you can do whatever you want.
But while installing Windows the damn program kept asking me for information and pressuring me into giving up my email address and phone number. Then when I finally got in, it's full of apps like fucking D!sney and Sp0tify... GTFO.
Then I go on Reddit, which I usually think of as a place where people post funny paragraphs and interesting questions... BUT NO... now it's just a splash page full of pictures and ads and other bullshit.
I know that you already know this, but it's sooo annoying and ugly.

It's not even mean. And this isn't some niche sub specifically about Sync. It's the most generic sub imaginable. Are they paid by Sync?
