I think the most effective reply is highlighting their methodology and moving on, rather than allowing yourself to be bogged down in rebuttals. You can never convince them because they are not “debating” earnestly, and the audience they are performing for isn’t interested in following a debate and will dismiss both sides.

Agree completely, I also just feel it’s important to highlight that style of inauthentic behavior.

What are you accomplishing, right here, right now, with this comment?

The function of accounts like the one you are replying to is to encourage cynicism and inaction among otherwise anti-fascist people.

Failing that, they will try to exhaust you with “debate”.

Yeah but I think it’s childish to complain about movies “might as well not existing” if you haven’t even looked for them.

LOL yes I try not to speak like a FOSSite when talking with newbies. “Arch Linux does not yet have an adequate solution for the hammer problem (when your computer is hit with a hammer) so I can’t recommend it.”

I mean, rollbacks are quite literally a feature to prevent breaking it. That said I’ve never even had to roll back once.

100%

Fedora Kinoite.

• You will basically never need the terminal.
• Highly tweakable, but out of the box is very similar to windows
• It’s immutable (impossible to break)
• App “store” makes sense and is not weird.
• Extremely fast.

Elite Force is where it’s at but Klingon has it’s place for sure.

The reason behind his weird android haircut is that he thought it looked Caesar-esque.

The American system is far from ideal but I’m convinced 90% of social media posts decrying a “lack of choice” or “monoparty” are cynical actors trying to make pro-democracy voters feel hopeless. I remember in 2019 all of the “The DNC installed Biden” language was all over Reddit.

I’ve never seen someone just blatantly lie about primaries not existing anymore though!

So true for all FOSS projects, the more successful they become the more new users expect a customer service dept.

Fedora is a solid choice. I recommend Kinoite because it’s familiar to Windows users and impossible to break.

The nepotism part has always been true, and talentless celebrities have been around as long as the concept of “celebrity” has, but the category of celebrities “being famous for no reason” did not truly exist until Paris Hilton. Princesses and Kings aren’t “celebrities”.

• The Android widget (not app just the widget) does not have a monthly view.
• There is no office suite (I don’t know why this surprised me but it did).

Generally it’s been an overall positive experience.

“fag” is a homophobic slur that was actually even more hurtful to use back in the early 2000s when LGBT people were a lot less accepted by society than today. That said your Dad is technically correct and it was a “term of endearment” among homophobes on 4chan which was largely comprised of straight white men in college had/has a self-deprecating sense of humor.

“Fag” is a homophobic slur and “shoop da woop” is a blackface meme and yes it was all very normal 4chan.

/r/conservative is not comprised of real conservative people, it only exists to expose “normie” redditors to MAGA propoganda while giving the MAGA movement the pretense of legitimacy.

“Shoop da woop” was a popular 4chan meme dating to at least 2006. Also the whole “newfag”, “oldfag” etc thing has been going on since forever.

Absolutely idk what that guy is smoking
