if you hold a view that is intolerant, I will not tolerate you. simple as. we don't have to agree but you can have basic fucking decency (don't be racist)

you mean all the people who said they weren't coming back even after the obvious rollback of the policy aren't coming back? 😱
computer, make me a sandwich
dm me and we'll get you rusting in no time
going vegan doesn't help animals much either. we live in an overproductive society that wastes most of what it produces anyways - even if your personal choice marginally reduces demand, the abuse is ongoing. we need systemic solutions. we need to destroy the meat industry. veganism will never be popular enough to create systemic change on its own.
solves nothing. you eliminate a negligible amount of carbon emissions. focusing on our individual impact is a waste of time when there are companies and their leaders doing orders of magnitude more damage.
I just don't think we should punish people if they had no other option
how about we give them a place to shit then
people learn things all the time despite phones existing. the issue is not solely being more entertaining. people need to find their learning meaningful and aligned with their own interests and goals. students don't, and so they go on their phones. go to a college classroom and you'll see people more engaged on average. still far from perfect, and that system is broken in many ways too, but people are at least studying something they chose and are presumably interested in.
"I'm really rooting for you to figure this out" rings hollow. we all need to be part of the solution. gen Z feels like it's carrying the expectation of fixing literally every societal problem right now and it sucks.
how can you punish people for fulfilling a basic bodily need if there's no proper place to do it
I remember back in the day I thought one of my favorite games, Elite: Dangerous, would never run on Linux. I dualbooted for a while just so I could play it. After a while I stopped playing it much and figured I could get rid of Windows, so I did. About a year later the community came out with a complicated setup you could perform to get it running on Linux through wine. It's just as you said, lots of manually finding and installing libraries, tweaking environments, and eventually got it working (jankily) at a pretty mediocre framerate. I thought that was the best I was going to get. Another two years and it was running seamlessly on proton with no configuration or tweaking at all. It really is incredible what Valve has done for Linux gaming.
