  • You’re confused. I said “this thread” and not “The OP”.

    If you read the comments, do you see a frank discussion of people attempting to locate a gender neutral term for a tech enthusiast or a bunch of people just riffing insulting terms?

    Regardless, to address you specifically. You’re trying to “win” an argument using rhetoric in place of reason. You’re not winning the argument, you’re just throwing a punch and declaring victory.

    You win arguments by having better arguments, not by coming up with the best clever clapback so that you get more upvotes





  • Immigrant advocates certainly think so. Catalyze/Citizens, a pro-immigration group, said the change would “weaponize digital platforms” against immigrants. “This is not immigration policy—it is authoritarianism and undemocratic surveillance,” Beatriz Lopez, the group’s executive director, said in an emailed statement. “Trump is turning online spaces into surveillance traps, where immigrants are forced to watch their every move and censor their speech or risk their futures in this country. Today it’s immigrants, tomorrow it’s U.S. citizens who dissent with Trump and his administration.”

    The US has already turned online spaces into surveillance traps where people are forced to watch their every move and censor their speech or risk their futures.

    There are already a legally defined class of people who’re forced to register their social media accounts for monitoring by the government and people cheered when the laws were implemented.

    But you did not speak up, because you were not a sex offender.

    Now, they’re using that same surveillance apparatus to target immigrants.

    And people will not speak up, because they’re not immigrants.

    Protesters antisemitic rioting antifa terrorists will be next.




  • You, and everyone up voting you, need to examine yourself to see why you’re preemptively surrendering to Trump and masking it as cynicism.

    You’re joining the crowd of capitulation and cowardice, chanting “Resistance is futile”.

    This is a Team Trump move.

    You’re creating the impression that he’s invulnerable and unstoppable and in doing so making it easier for others to give up.

    If you’re burned out, then take a break. The fight isn’t going anywhere. Don’t promote this “Trump can’t be stopped” mindset. It’s damaging the efforts made by the people who are actively resisting him.




  • You should never commit vandalism and this is wrong.

    However, from a safety perspective and in the interest of keeping people from falling to their deaths. A 1W laser will burn out the sensors on most every digital security camera from quite far away. (Wear eye protection, don’t stare into the beam reflection).

    Never do this, it is a crime, for educational purposes, in minecraft, etc





  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

    In the Americas, United States, and Canada:

    -Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.
