Terrorist is a social distinction not a rational one; It's a slur. Trying to launder it with definitions and fixed meaning misses the point.

Terrorist isn't even synonymous with violence because depending on where you are, a terrorist is a race, ethnicity, politics, or religion.

I'm very suspicious of anyone who thinks punishment is the solution to anything. Double that when the person being subjected to suffering is low on the social order.

That's my secret. I'm always turned on.

Those plucky Windows users love to hack hardware to get their niche software running. Good for them.

Microslop is confused that the people forced to pay for shitty software won't pony up for the optional shitty software.

It may surprise you to learn that social justice vs. economic justice is just about the oldest and most contentious debate on the left. Coming down hard on one side like it's a neutral fact that everyone agrees with is the opposite of "bringing people together".

It's cool that you empathize with rednecks, try women and POC next.

This is good actually. The current standards assume that exposure to ionizing radiation is always bad no matter how small. The evidence suggests that small doses are absolutely safe, and arguably beneficial.

Panicking about small radiation doses has absolutely caused public harm and even death. Many people argue that some of the evacuations around Fukushima were overly conservative and ultimately more harmful than doing nothing.

Yeah, I generally agree with always believing a victim. But

This is going to be the legacy of Plantner's campaign. Not that he was a fake-leftest, but that so many of his supporters turned out to be.

4K textures are a scam. With upscaling, even the people who run games in 4K don't use the 4K textures.

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
