Ever seen a Japanese sports car go from 0 to 6 in 15 seconds? Honk at me when I’m on the line and the light just turned green and I’ll show you

Ya know, I had a thought about this yesterday. The sound of fireworks isn’t traumatic for me, but it’s easier to tell people that as the reason I won’t celebrate the 4th rather than telling them I’m deeply disgusted by our actions on both the global and domestic stage and I am ashamed to be an American, not proud. It’s easy to say here on lemmy, but no amount of “being a hero” in the past will prevent the communities veterans tend to be part of from ostracizing you if you question the myth of American greatness.

You sound more like a Rage Tuned File Monster, or rtfm for short

You pretending it’s unprecedented is privileged and incorrect. This the first time since the Japanese internments that white or white adjacent people have regularly suffered illegal search and seizure and been made to feel unsafe in public in the US. The person you responded to brought up plenty of precedent for stuff that’s as bad or almost as bad that has been accepted treatment of non-white people in the states since it became a country. You don’t get to accuse somebody of being disingenuous because they care about the plight of people you seem to be happy to marginalize by claiming and defending that this is unprecedented. The only thing unprecedented about the current state of affairs is that white people are suffering because of it too

Those abs need a marble statue, not a shirt

I’m one of them, haha. My archives are nice and organized, but anything related to a current project I’m working on either lives on the desktop or lives at ~, depending on which machine I’m using. Automated output type files go into a structure (like any kind of processed or cleaned data), but figures? References? Drafts? FFA on the desktop. For whatever reason I just cannot function with an organized workspace

Contradiction isn’t nuance

Gonna be honest, I’m not reading that slop. You open by telling me that I’m dead wrong, then immediately confirming that my guess as to your political leaning was half correct, which sets a very clear tone that you’re here to mudwrestle on the internet rather than engage in a discussion. If you want to try again I’ll talk to you, but I’m not interested in trading novels high on insults and low on reading comprehension with you.

Seriously, why would anybody bother putting their papers in a folder when the desktop is just right there?

I’m pro LGBTQ

against trans-women in women’s sports

No, you’re not pro lgbtq. You’re a TERF at best

against consumerism/capitalism, pro socialism. Pro government control on key infrastructure (water, gas, electricity) and better housing and support services. (…) pro taxing the rich

pro merit success

??? Do you understand what any of those words mean? “Pro merit success” directly contradicts each of the social policies you claim to support.

Pro climate policies

I’m also against fossil fuel bans

You’re either lying about one of these or you somehow think we can stop climate change without stopping the most significant cause of climate change?

Does the complete lack of internal consistency in your worldview not bother you at all? You have no defined political leaning, you have a bunch of emotionally driven contradictory political opinions that you clearly have little to no understanding of.

Given that description, I’d guess you probably call yourself a centrist and vote conservative.

There’s a huge difference between being progressive to attract women and being progressive and noticing that some women find that attractive. I’m glad you were able to work out/are working on your demons. I don’t appreciate being accused of the same based on a comment that only relates to your situation if you make significant assumptions.

Sure, if you’re a TERF and believe that validating trans people is violence against women. Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you probably don’t recognize that as a TERF talking point, I’d advise you to be more careful about where you source your facts lest you end up accidentally spewing hate. If you are a TERF, I’d advise you that trans rights are human rights and you should stop being a bigot.

At least the program can run in polynomial time. They tried to do the same for yall stamp collectors moms but quickly realized that problem was NP hard!

(Perfect, no notes)

Nonsense. An astrophysicist wouldn’t be caught dead hanging out in public with their dealer and somebody who thinks counting past 1 is pointless.

(/s but also shit talking is fun so pop off if this made your blood boil and you’ve got a witty retort)

TIL that Dolly Parton entered in and lost a Dolly Parton lookalike contest at some drag bar in LA in 2012

But barrel, how am I supposed to baselessly feel superior to the people around me if I’m not enforcing arbitrary language rules despite knowing full well what people mean when they talk about there new haircut or or use new words like startup? I don’t care about effective communication, I care about an artificial hierarchy that I can place myself near the top of.

Minor disagreement. I’m a straight dude who celebrates gay pride, and that usually comes off as a green flag to women considering sleeping with me

She got blue, I’d let her smash
