Torvalds has a great character and is humble, though because of his “straightforward” personality he has a reputation of being hotheaded and arrogant. For example: Torvalds: I want to be nice, and curse less, but it’s just not in me

Please don’t tell me you wear adidas (founded by a Nazi), or drive a Ford (made by an antisemite), or listen to Wagner, (a racist), or drive a Volkswagen, or play Minecraft, or use wix, or eat at Chick-fil-A, or…etc etc

The comment doesn’t contradict itself. It explains the importance of relationships with coworkers, and then establishes common ground with you as a fellow introvert who works from home. They never claimed to be chatting it up in the office.

My advice to answer your question is to keep up this exact attitude, though.

I see your point, it’s certainly valid, (albeit very sassy haha). I’m not concerned about bigotry or targeting certain identities, but thank you for the explanation. To bring things back to the original point, many far-left individuals are enabling the homophobia of Muslims by brushing any criticism of such beliefs as Islamophobia and incorrectly viewing Muslim Americans as liberals, as was the case in some of the links I sent and in many people I’ve spoken with. This is unfortunately indirectly bigoted toward those of the lgbtq population.

Also, to respond to your question, no I don’t have any questions, but thank you. And I appreciate the dialogue so far, always pleasant to interact with others and hear different opinions.

Though you asked for sources, no liberal source will say “here’s how we are inconsistent in our beliefs”. Besides, Hamtramck, Michigan, voting for Muslim council members expecting a liberal government and feeling betrayed at anti-lgbtq policies is one example of the double standard. As a liberal gay individual in the us, I am applauded by liberals when criticizing Christianity’s effect on the lgbt community, but am called Islamophobic or intolerant for the same rhetoric with Islam, regardless of how respectful or courteous I am of believers. I will never be called “Christophobic”, however. Pretending a problem doesn’t exist will never fix that problem, and if we want a country that provides safety for homosexual individuals we should pay attention to how we align our beliefs.

Ah, my image did not upload. I guess that’s more lemmy jankiness for you. The same exact convo is in the description for you to read, however.

Feel free to ask chatgpt the same prompts yourself or have a friend do it, I did not perform an opaque study, just a fun chatgpt test, so no need to provide a source, anyone is free to test what I did. Also, ChatGPT being accessible to all means there is no need to take my word for it.

As for sources on how American liberals collectively give Islam a pass, here is some reading:

Up to 2 years in prison for burning a book (whether it be the Bible or Quran) that has been used as a weapon to subjugate women and persecute gay people. Interesting. Is there also a prison sentence for using a holy book to subjugate women or persecute gay people in Denmark?

Interesting priorities…there’s a reason people burn holy books

Many of penguinz0’s videos on YouTube are anecdotal case studies of the “brain rot” brought on by tik tok and by other “jangling keys” media like YouTube shorts.

In terms of sole appreciation AMEN to that. I love the Gnome project!

Everything you said is true, though I feel it’s ultimately a comparison between apples and oranges. Hyprland is awesome because it’s a tiling window manager that you can configure to your most niche desires. Gnome is awesome because it’s a comprehensive desktop environment that sets everything up for you.

Unite under the common understanding that neither democrats NOR republicans are fit to hold office

I hope the 2024 election is not another decision between Trump and Biden. When George Washington finally stepped down as President, his final words of caution were to avoid political parties, because, as he put it

[parties] serve always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection.

I wish that we did not have such a polarized 2-party system in the US. It’s hard to find a system that reduces political strategizing while encouraging democracy, so I find this document interesting.

I certainly did, because that’s what this post was for. Each post has a reason, and whilst some may be directly about one thing others will be about another!

Haha noted

I did so with non-burner account.

Because the nature of the post is highly relevant to the lack of dialogue regarding public transit in the United States. It very well could have been any social media platform and I would have shared the act of censorship.

The LDS church claims to be led directly by Jesus himself, (the hottest anti-wealth proponent of the first century), yet it hoards wealth like Scrooge McDuck.
