Fuck that, get violent. Revolutions are never bloodless.

Firearms education is only necessary when there are guns all over the place. The people you're complaining about don't want guns around to begin with. Not to mention the inherent propaganda that is 100% built into any children's content produced by Republicans and the NRA. If the goal of Democrats is to increase gun control and reduce the amount of guns among the general populace, it doesn't really make sense for them to want NRA propaganda in schools. That said, I do agree that while there are all these guns around, parents should generally do a better job to make sure their children get this information, whether their family owns a gun or not.

I mean, the people making them, for one.

This is a bad take in general, if your computer can't handle running steam it probably can't handle many games to begin with. It's the least intrusive option presented so far in terms of DRM, and steam has done more for the Linux gaming market with Proton than any other company afaik. You have to launch steam to avoid games wanting to do things like denuvo or kernel level anti-cheat which is WAY worse, and those of us on Linux need steam running while we game for additional reasons. This complaint about not wanting to look at a storefront is just petty, especially when I'm pretty sure there are settings to open it directly to your library.

The one that sticks with me is called "the cold equations", and it's about a pilot flying a ship through space and discovering he has a young girl stowing away on board. Since he only has enough fuel to get to his destination if the ship weighs a very specific amount, he has to decide whether or not to jettison the girl out the airlock. I remember liking it, but I've never forgotten how emotional it was to read.

Never put your phone in your back pocket. I briefly worked at a Verizon store and like 20-30% of broken phones I saw came from people who sat on it in their back pocket.

You mean 2002 and 2003, right?

Until you can use things like banking apps on them they will never be mainstream sadly.

Women have been complaining in popular media for decades about random dudes approaching them and asking them out. How is it a surprise that the trend is dying out? It's clearly something that most women don't enjoy to begin with.

Why would that be unusual at all?

Nah this post can go fuck it's self. Xenophobic as shit. Same rhetoric people use about immigrants.

It's equally possible you're just assuming everyone who doesn't share your opinion is a paid troll. I got called a Russian troll multiple times for saying Biden had no business being in this election and that we could do better. Imo it's far more likely you're talking to a child than a "paid troll" if their opinions don't make sense and they dig their heels in. Assuming everything is some grand conspiracy instead of accepting that some people have different beliefs and opinions, or might just be that stupid, simply isn't healthy. Trolls and such exist, sure, but I don't think they are anywhere near as common as you're implying.

 

Title. I really like using the YouTube home page to find new content I'm not subscribed to since trending is hot garbage. I'd love to use the home page like I used to but have my browser redirect to piped after I click a video. Anyone have a solution?
