proficiency in being used through your tech is not proficiency in tech.

teach the kid to play games. have them play games where they have to type, or games where they need to use the whole keyboard for shortcuts to stuff.

windows shits itself.

linux knowledge remains useful. the GUIs change a little, but the core concepts remain, and the UNIX philosophy means the basic tools stay. terminal stuff you learned in 1995 or earlier is probably still exactly the same 30 years later, if you use the modern versions of those same tools.

I don’t think incompetence enters into it.

I think it might if they tried, but, like, it’s not on the menu.

oh. yeah I guess it’s not very fun. sorry, I don’t know how it got onto that list. there’s also a lot of stuff about how radiation poisoning damages the body on here. there are pictures. who the fuck compiled this thing?

I think doing black face would be less unhelpful than doing community patrols and survival programs and kickass leather jackets would be helpful. so it would still be a net positive. I’ll order you some shoe polish and a shotgun.

nah. they need to be killed as an example to anyone else who would do this. you want to do a genocide and fetishize your genes? your blood line needs to fucking end. you have a breeding fetish, you do it by being slutty or doing sex work. nothing else.

I could settle for THOROUGH re-education, but they would need to be watched close, and if one goes even a little fasch, it needs to be popped. no questions, no equivocations.

why do that, when they can just say they did that?

fun fact: slaves were sometimes baked in basically cramped solar ovens as punishment in the CSA! as punishment.

yeah im imaginging their torrid love affair, and gentle growing old together. trying to decide which one dies slowly of an incurable illness while the other loses his mind to dementia. or maybe at like age 70 they’re the only survivors of a plane crash, and both end up dying, though not at the same time, in a far-distant survival situation they both know they’re not making it out of alive, and just try to have as much time together as possible?

I love how much I see myself here. thanks.

which means unions will go back to shady criminal organizations that fight with shit.

and they’ll have that in the war industry. which… honestly, im cool with at this point, but it seems fucking stupid of them to do.

be the change.

yeah. if a community based gang kidnaps me, maybe I can negotiate with them. maybe there’s something they want from me. maybe they genuinely just want to have a very theatrical talk with me to make some shit clear. maybe they grabbed the wrong person and can admit their guys fucked up. maybe if I’m a badass, I can escape and get out of town. if I have friends, maybe they can negotiate on my behalf. there’s a chance, several chances, I’m free later that day.

hell, I might even end up with a job. I had a friend who wrangled that!

the cops take me, that’s it. nobody’s coming.

there was a theory i heard from a drunk climate scientist about heat and electromagnetism and shifting poles, referencing what I think was the curie temperature but this was a long-ass time ago.

i don’t think it would just completely switch off, just be less.

it’s famous for shit libs who do not want to actually fix anything half assing solutions and those half assed solutions not working because one of the parties is a bad actor, who will only accept extermination.

and that is the solution. every zio needs to die. their children need to die. their pets need to die. that is the solution. that is how you open the possibility of peace.

it’s unclassy to paraphrase me like that, but defending genocide is the height of class. filthy peasant.

there’s plenty of nuance, and it’s all fractal horrors of zio atrocities. there can be no mercy for these inhuman monsters. not if you want a future.

edit: also the one time a palestinian girl said something mean to a zio that had just mudered her family and burned her village, then it got its buddies and raped her to death, then kept going until she started to rot too much to be useful. very morally complicated situation there; she shouldn’t have hurt the zio’s feelings like that.

oskar schindler existed, so it’s bad to say we should kill nazis!

nah. these fuckers will not stop killing until they’re dead. there’s nothing else to them but killing. they are monsters.

fascists accuse their enemies of their own crimes, and I really hate libs buying into it like this.
