What are your thoughts on communities about drugs? Pretty big topic for me, although the drug subs mostly haven’t moved here yet, is that because you ban them? If so, I’m wasting my time waiting for them here.

And they said the revolution would not be televised.

Why do we need laws on this topic at all?

I don’t see the problem. They obviously would hire more people to do double the episode load.

I’d say I was happy, too, if I thought they might hang me or cane me if I didn’t. Happy as hell, sir!

I’d send my kid to Lucifer P. Satan Memorial Elementary.

Is that why I got cloudflare banned last night? All I did was click my Local Top Day bookmark.

Like it or not, it’s tech news. When Intel does something interesting, or Google wets the bed again, we’ll talk about that a lot, then. Right now it’s Elon doing dumb stuff. Last month it was spez. If we ban every hot news topic, what’s left to discuss?

They already do that from my Android phone, and I’m sure as hell not going Apple. Linux phones aren’t there yet, maybe in a few years, but I’ll still need an Android phone for the same reasons I’d need a Chromebok, bank apps will never support Linux phones. And yeah, like everybody said, VLANs. I already have one for untrusted IoT devices, I’ll just spin up another for Chromebooks.

Not from them! They don’t make a dime when I buy yours.

Just means I’ll have the shittiest Chromebook I can buy used, for access to the sites you just listed, and my Linux laptop for everything else. If their non-financial, non-commerce site won’t let me in with my adblocking Linux machine, I just won’t go there. There will be lots of site still, run by us, that don’t do this shit, and they’ll get my traffic.

He’s very privileged to have access to the care he has access to. My experience has been more like hearing the stuff his parents said to him, but from doctors. You’re so dramatic. You can’t possibly feel that bad, you look fine. You’re just lazy.

Wow, way to read into what I said! My point was that you enjoyed that privilege, for your whole life, whether you liked it or not, and that puts you in a better position to handle any shit you might take for it now. Better off than someone might be who didn’t have the advantage of enjoying that privilege. That’s not saying you have to surrender that privilege or that somebody else is gonna come and take it, it just acknowledges that it’s a thing and you benefited from it. All that stuff about taking away your privilege came from you, and tbh it’s a little bit strange of a focus when I was simply acknowledging that it existed and that I benefited from mine. I’d give it up in a second if I could, honestly, because it’s not something I earned.

Until we’re not anymore.

Can’t wait. I can acknowledge that I’ve lived my life with privilege, while still speaking against the system that gave it to me. I didn’t ask for it.

Maybe, but I’m certain we’re privileged enough that we can take it and will be just fine.
