After Camus and Sartre, I threw in some random Cicero (first half) and then something completely random (second) because I should hate to be predictable.

That stance is fair enough. Though I’d like to point out that language can shape perception. And using terms like “trans rights” suggests that trans people are sufficiently different from “normal” humans that they require special rights. But, in my humble opinion, it would be so easy to formulate human/basic rights in a way that no subset specific rights are required, that the entire notion of X rights seems alien to me. Let’s assume we have four tiers of laws (true for some nations): constitutional law, common law, policy, and judicial precedence. Imagine the following subset of constitutional law:

• Constitutional law applies to all humans residing in the jurisdiction of the nation.

• Nobody has a right for unhurt feelings.

• Nobody shall perform an act solely for the purpose of hurting someone else’s feelings.

• Everybody has a right for individual bodily autonomy.

There’s no mention of race, religion, gender, … Yet, I’d argue that, for example, trans people are fully covered and protected by the wording. Required exceptions, for example limited accountability for minors, can easily be put into common law. If it becomes evident that some minority is factually disadvantaged, that could be addressed in policy without any need to extend the law because that is neutral and all-encompassing.

I feel like “we” (politicians/societies) are talking way too much about special laws for trans people, women, … when we should fix the root causes of overly specific laws/constitutions.

TL;DR: humans are humans, and imho human law should be for all humans and avoid special treatment of any subset, but be worded in a way that any special need is met as best as possible.

The only thing that bothers me about terms like “trans rights”, “women rights”, … is that there should be no need to prefix “rights” with anything but “human”. And human rights should apply to all humans indiscriminately, obviating the need to label any subset of human rights that shouldn’t exist. In my book, the slice of bread should read:

Humans have human rights. Trans people are humans.

And in a better world every bit of that should be so obvious that it wouldn’t need mentioning at all.

Yes, they do.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. Now, insert your recreation rod into my receptacle.

What about trick implies treat?

This comment section is a prison. I’m not stuck here with you, though. You’re stuck with me!

Overall I’m pretty happy with myself. The only thing I’d improve is my weak jawline. But, you’ll be the judge:

Haben wir noch Apostrophs? Keinem mehr? Gar keinem? Zwei noch?

Jetz’ gibt’s Maul!

Wat? Kaum drei Haare auf’m Sack und schon ein’ auf dicke Hose machen hier, wie?

Hätten sie lieber die Spanische Inquisition?

I wasn’t going to. But maybe if you think I was, then I should.

It looks like it’s “garbage” quality.

To be fair, that’s also true when running natively under Windows.

I regret to inform you, Sir, that you are horribly mistaken. My memes are most splendid!

Don’t bother, that’s normal /sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

My two cents: Yes, it’s bad. The biggest hurdle to people not “intimately familiar” with their distro is A) what it’s using for DNS configuration and B) realizing that there are so many different ways in different distributions, and sometimes within one distribution, that you have to be very careful what googled results you follow. That many browsers do their own thing doesn’t help. I think the best way to solve it would be some desktop level abstraction like PackageKit where it doesn’t really matter what services does the resolving under the hood.

Same with Dolphin. It can even remember credentials in a safe manner in KWallet.

And what did the Catholic church at least used to do with people denouncing their faith?

Ok but that doesn’t have anything to do with the fact they targeted Catholics.

Nonsense.

The GOP has gay members yet it is 100% accurate to say the GOP does not believe gay people should have equal rights with straight people, so even though the GOP is targeting gay people they still have gay members.

Straw man.

Catholics being part of the Nazi party doesn’t have the significance you think it does.

Lie: 20% Catholics in the party is significantly more than the one or two alibi open homosexuals in the GOP.

As n aside why are you calling them anything other than the Nazi party? I get NSDAP was the name they preferred but why grant Nazis respect?

Diversion.

All the numbers and historical circumstances I layed out are easily verifiable facts. Your compulsive urge to cling to a false narrative in the presence of irrefutible evidence and attempt to dance around that by picking out fragments of what I said and attempting to ridicule everything by extension is preposterous. And everybody with the reading comprehension of a high schooler should see right through it. I’m out of your bad faith (or ignorant) excuse for a conversation.
