You should honestly investigate how democracy actually works in China - You’ll find that they have far more votes and actual choices for their officials than you ever have, and the approval rate of the government, even when anonymously/independently surveyed, is almost certainly higher than your country’s.
The classic “I was going to be a caring individual and oppose systemic wrongs but a leftist said things I disliked on the internet” move.
Let’s be clear, in the UK, parents can almost always leave behind over a million pounds worth before any tax starts kicking in. Not to mention the thousands of easy loopholes.
A pact that was a necessity when all the Allies rebuffed the USSR, but also a pact that documents show the USSR never even intended to honour from day one.
Ah, I see, what queer propaganda will be next? Picking your character’s name?!
“I want to remove our violent oppressors by any means necessary so we can be free and happy” - Bad violent leftist who ruins parties
“I knowingly sent material support for a genocide resulting in the deaths of 300,000+ people literally being gunned down in the street, oopsie doopsy everyone makes mistakes” - “Wholesome” “Nicest fucking dude”
ublock obviously should be installed on Firefox by default. But I seem to have a host of privacy add-ons that break few-to-no websites.
Be warned - If you’re not privacy conscious, you might cry from seeing the hundreds of sites that are running javascript on your machine without asking.
And my personal silly couple ones:
So you’re homeless and starving huh? Why didn’t you of just think of putting in a little effort? 
Every person with this attitude was born with a silver spoon in their mouth or otherwise given all their wealth by knowing rich people. 99% of people who work devastatingly hard end up even poorer, me and many of my family members have chronic mental and/or physical conditions as a result of working too hard, and now we’re still piss fucking poor as well as in pain and traumatised.
Liberals: Nice try tankie, but all of our leaders and popularised heroes commit genocide, so it can’t be criticism 
I’m sure you’re right, but I’ve not seen that to be true where I live in Europe. That makes absolutely no sense.
I’ve not played the game. I assume the issue is that gay people do in fact, exist in a game?
It’s a collaborative effort. The Wine and Vulkan projects have all done a lot and deserved credit for doing massive, amazing things. But for Linux gaming specifically, Proton has absolutely changed the landscape, and if Valve continues down this path, will make Linux an ever better gaming platform. So I don’t think it’s unfair to say thanks to Valve.
Not only have they sunk significant resource into making Linux gaming more viable, they’ve released Proton under BSD and seriously pushed developers to make Linux-compatible binaries. If Linux continues it’s slow upward trend in popularity, Valve will be in large part to thank.
Russia literally requested, many times, to join NATO. Wrong way around - NATO’s whole purpose is to see a country of people reduced to rubble (and also any other countries it feels like along the way).
The whole ‘appeasement doesn’t work’ argument is understandable, but the only alternative is fighting and dying in the tens of millions in the vain hope that a global superpower will lose to a relatively small, fractional country plagued by instability, military incompetence, and corruption. It’s also not really applicable anyway, while Russia is far more interested in security and stability than global domination.
Either way, there is the short-term solution middle ground of “let’s negotiate on terms that help ensure everyone’s future security (including at least some degree of denazification) to prevent further wars”. Which I think is what most Hexbearians would want in terms of peace. Obviously the long-term issue is that nationstates as they exist are inherently warmongering and that cannot be stopped without fundamental change.
I’ve seen an admin respond to the shitty DM leaking behaviour, but the admins don’t seem interested in confronting the problem mainly.
I suspect I’ve undiagnosed manic-depressive disorder, but either way I get heavy existential dread for 1-4 weeks straight, then reoccurring again in 1-3 months. I also get similar pressure from my industry. So I do feel you :(
You occasionally see studies that include mention cost of manufacture - For instance Cuba technically has lower car emissions mainly because the embargo has forced them to constantly repair cars rather than get new ones. Not aware of any mention of the other facts like maintenance and city planning though, would be cool to see more data about it if it exists.
As someone who frequently has windows with 1000+ tabs, this feature has saved my bacon countless times.
I’ve got to say, Steam’s native Wine/Proton implementation works decently well, and really entices me to buy games without native Linux support on Steam.
I think what I said is still true.
There’s a lot of handwaving in your reply that China’s population are just ignorant and censorship exists therefore its bad, based on little info. All Western countries also have major systems of censorship on social media. The majority of people in China have access to the internet via unfiltered VPNs - they have basically as much free access to information as you do.
