I’ve lost count of technologies during my lifetime that had initial skeptics of ‘seems cool, but who would use this?,’ and then that tech became ubiquitous or essential within a decade.

Room-sized computers that required punch cards also seemed cool but mostly useless once.

Use borg/borgmatic for your backups. Use rsync to send your differentials to your secondary & offsite backup storage.

Just gonna throw in some unprompted homophobia, because that hate is festering inside and you need to let it out. Truly, there’s no hate like Christian “love.”

I haven’t. You labeled yourself a white supremacist by association.

If you defend Nazis, you’re a Nazi. If you defend white supremacists, you’re a white supremacist. Pretty simple.

Hahaha. Applying for Kirk’s old job? This must be satire.

You’re a white supremacist. Your kind is a disease on this planet.

Nah. He’s dead now. He won’t hurt anyone again. No need to prove it anymore, now that the trash has been taken out. Good riddance.

Read the testimonials of the experiences of people he put on his Professor Watchlist.

That’s what a strawman is, dumbass.

He created a literal hitlist of professors, and convinced people that violence against trans people was a moral imperative.

That you have to invent a strawman proves my point. Their actual policies are about on par with each other. One is just closer to the fascism you’re familiar with.

It’s not “moving the goal post.” We simply disagree. I oppose fascism in general. You only oppose it being extrajudicial.

LoL. “But he used the correct process for fascism!” You neoliberals are wild.

The Biden admin was absolutely illegally abusing immigrant detainees. You just don’t notice when it’s a Dem.

I bet the people being actively killed and oppressed by the Dems would disagree. It sounds more like you personally felt less threatened under Dems, and you want to return to that place of privilege.

When the ICE raids began, Democrats published a public thank you letter to the agents. If you think this will get better with Dems in charge, you aren’t paying attention.

Biden deported 250% more people than Trump’s first term, and Stephen Miller was reportedly screaming at a meeting with ICE leadership because he was pissed they were barely keeping pace with Biden’s deportation numbers.

The Democrat fascists have troves of victims, too, but the media only gives them a microphone when they’re victims of Republicans.

We’re never better off with the Dem fascists in charge either. They’re two sides of the same coin.

If we want the law to mean anything, and we want it used to hold people accountable, over 90% of sitting congresspeople and senators can now be prosecuted for aiding genocide, which they did in violation of domestic & international laws. That would certainly set a tone and precedent for the future.

I’m getting pretty fucking sick of seeing this ‘no one should be killed for their political beliefs’ take going around.

He wasn’t killed for his beliefs. He was killed because he dedicated his life to terrorizing everyone who isn’t a conservative white man, and was materially supporting state violence in the pursuit of white supremacy.

That is 100% something we have firmly established that people should be shot for, in multiple wars throughout the last few centuries.

I really didn’t appreciate how bad it was, until I witnessed my wife being subjected to this shit.

One time I was playing Star Trek: Bridge Crew with a couple randos. We’d been playing for at least half an hour, and they seemed like nice guys. My wife had just finished watching all of TNG, and she excitedly asked if she could try playing for a round.

The moment my wife’s voice hit the mic, these two neckbeards turned into complete pieces of shit, and started right in on harassing her and talking down. I watched her face sink. She took off the vr headset, and hasn’t touched it since. I don’t think she’s even watched Star Trek since, it was such a sour experience.

And these were the stereotypical ‘I struggle with women’ type of neckbeards. No shit. Maybe if you didn’t treat them as subhuman, one of them might speak to you.

Where are we moving the goalposts to now?
