Yea, I think each specific case requires more nuanced explanation as to what made it inconvenient, but it was more fun to keep the rhythm of “I chose x cause fuck y”. I also don’t want to scare anyone away from all these things - they are good things! The biggest inconvenience is probably the migration, but learning is fun!

ya’ll done with the corn i guess

I switched to linux cause fuck windows. I switched to grapheneos cause fuck apple. I switched to proton cause fuck google. i dont eat meat cause i think animals ARE CUTE. i make less money than I could because I refuse to work for weapons manufacturers. Living up to my principles makes my life more inconvenient. period. thats it.

marxist-linuxist is crazy accurate i love it

" He questioned why the agency should not be held in contempt." then fuckin do it wtf is going on out here

i mean…i’d click that

Yes. it is false. the NYDSA never officially endorsed either of those candidates for those races.

I know that I’ve wasted my time analyzing this 300 word propaganda piece, but like…its just false. Their citation for ‘fury from the far-left group’ is a single twitter post from a random person. The twitter post quote from David-Desyrée is just run-of-the-mill leftist infighting that had a comment section wherein people disagreed with him (some agreed, but hey thats what a discussion is). This is hardly fury. This is propaganda. dude aint even mayor yet. geneva_convenience - stop posting NYpost trash!

im FOR IT

I did not know this! I thought they were all closed primaries.

The ‘democratic party [DNC]’ and the ‘republican party [RNC]’ are two private companies that have hijacked the electoral system. They (sometimes, but not always) hold ‘primary’ elections to choose which candidate they will run in the actual election. If you are registered with the party, then you can vote in the primary elections to choose their candidate. If, for instance, I were to register republican (me, a dirty commie) then I would vote for the primary candidate that I was most certain would lose in the actual election. Anyone can vote in the real election, so i could stay registered as republican and vote for their worst candidate in the primary, then I could go to the real election and waste my vote on a third-party socialist candidate. (I put a lot of irony in my description here, but I hope its still clear why someone would register for the opposite party). [EDIT: I have just learned that each state has a different setup for who is allowed to vote in primaries, so this scenario is not universal. Thanks to Baron Von J comment below]

The opening sentence: “Dutch company ASML…is under fire for selling hardware to a Chinese defense firm with ties to the ruling party.” After reviewing the article and cited sources my conclusion is : No, they’re not. The news entity ‘Nos’ appears to be the only ones interested in this sale, so that first sentence should be “Dutch Company ASML is under fire from a single Dutch news apparatus called Nos…”

this is an article written by an 18 year old for a school paper. The article cites the new york post multiple time, which is already indicative of bad reporting. No one provides the link to the podcast they are citing (neither the cornell paper nor nypost). They pull a single quote from the mysterious podcast, which I cannot locate anywhere. Then they show a video of some guy asking zohran if he plans to ‘boycott’ cornell tech, which is an absurd question. A more appropriate question would be would zohran consider divesting public funds from cornell tech unless they cut ties with the idf, if indeed that is what he suggested in this not-to-be-found podcast episode. shit reporting all around.

bro this is the winner

oh woops i just dropped my family size roll of MENTOS in the jungle juice
