I see, no worries homie. We can't be critical everyday.

You don't gotta keep responding.

Work email pronouns had nothing to do with what I said, so you still haven't convinced me of anything. If you don't strongman my argument we'll talk in circles.

You are ignoring actual harm to people and laughing about it. I'm not here to judge that. You got here and believe what you do, and I respect your journey. Though I will say you are currently looking quite rude.

I think there are many reasons to see this time as different. Trump is immune from prosecution, and is already trying to do many things that are seen as illegal by many states.

Project 2025 is a solid plan that if successful, could set our countries course for a while. He has already made healthcare harder for any Trans folks especially by trying to make it much harder to say you are trans on official documents. (Though it is funny that everyone in the country was legally female for a bit.)

Also the pardoning of violent criminals? Its a strange time. It is reasonable for folks to find worry in this.

Folks that know Palestinians. Devastated. Just because those folks don't see the world like you do doesn't mean they are unreasonable. Your worldview isn't perfect. They aren't necessarily safe. They would likely have been safer with Kamala. Even if you don't belive in their cause.

I don't think their fear is funny. I think there are many ways a reasonable person could be upset.

I get the reaction to being banned or removed.

I would love for you to engage with why I think some people's fear is reasonable. Otherwise it just seems like you are dismissing folks for no reason.

There is nothing immoral about being wrong about something or being out of touch. I don't know about every event in the world right now and neither do you. We all have bubbles.

Even if you conceptualize it as ignorance I still see it as rude.

Also it'd be pretty amazing if you actually understood the election to the point of being able reduce the winning and losing to such a concise statement. I don't think that's possible. I am not convinced you know why the election was won or lost. I don't think anyone can really know that. It's too complicated.

I think the fear of Trump is reasonable. Maybe not every person is grounded, but many have good reasons to be upset. Lots of folks are upset at immigrants because of lies from the right. I don't judge those people. Some folks may be unduely upset about Trump due to lies from the left.

Many people have grounds fears of Trump. Any trans person obviously. Anyone who relies on a government program that may be seen as 'inefficient' would be worried.

I think forgot to try to empathize and that's why it feels okay to laugh at folks. I see it as rude. It happens though.

I'm not so sure laughing at suffering is a good look. Pretty rude overall.

That would be the life

That's awesome. I have a lot of conservative family and none of them are hateful to people in front of them. They are generally very caring and kind.

From my perspective they are told to fear groups to the point of hating them. Its not rooted in any of their experiences, not originally. So, just like you, given concrete evidence they change.

I really like this. Humans are generally kind.

I'm a bit of an anarchist so I disagree on principal lol, but I do agree that that would help Linux usurp windows.

My fear is that it would just then become windows within a decade or less. Getting big and institutional may work out. I've just seen a lot of cases go sour.

To me the beauty of Linux is that it is less connected to large impersonal capitalistic structures. That's why it feels different from Windows.

I agree Ubuntu is the easy choice. You can totally find a desktop you don't have to baby sit, but Ubuntu has the marketing to help you find them and feel safe.

I've had no issues with fedora, I've been running it for about a year.

Disclaimer: people are complicated. I sorta have to project to answer and I dont know exactly what causes your jealousy.

I used to get a lot more jealous. I used to think that I was the right partner for someone and that they were making a mistake by being with someone else. I kinda justified it with this half baked empathy that wanted the girl to be happy, but didn't accept her as an intelligent person that can navigate and choose a partner for herself.

My jealousy was rooted in a bit of a superiority complex. I needed to accept that there are a lot of good people out there just trying to find a partner. That I'm not better than them.

I think it is fine to have feelings for a girl, its also fine to be disappointed when they don't reciprocate. No need to try and not feel those feelings. I think it is a big ask to try and control our romantic attraction, but we can manage how we respond to it.

Though again, what if I'm wrong and maybe this stems from an attachment issue yk? I'm over here projecting. Hope this helps anyways.

Thanks! If there's anything ya wanna hear I'm happy to try and make it. I'm wondering when I'll run out of music ideas lol.
