- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 5 days ago:
False question fallacy.
Conservatives don’t solely define fascists as “being violent”, at least in my country.

Is it because I’m (probably) autistic?
No, it’s a basic human decency thing. No man I know would (intentionally) touch without invitation (whether verbal or body language) and if someone does they deserve a smacking.
The most common gray area is tight crowds where some assholes try to get away with groping disguised as “accidents” which is disgusting.
- Comment on Choose one before starting the game... 5 weeks ago:
People being fine with higher taxes is a function of a trustworthy system where tax money actually goes to spending that benefits the tax payer.
If the expectation is that the funds get misplaced/pocketed/diverted along the way your average citizen will be far more willing (and view it as far more morally justifiable) to make efforts to avoid/reduce paying taxes.
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 1 month ago:
What I did was mass edit all my comments. According to reddit customer support (about a year ago at the time), they do not retain old versions of edited comments.

If you are a MasterCard customer, like me, and have any concerns you’d like to bring up with the company they have a very convenient PDF with toll-free numbers for all countries available here:
mastercard.com/…/GlobalServiceTollfreeNumbers.pdf
I was very lucky to be able to find the link, because their customer support number wasn’t advertised anywhere on their website for my country!

- Comment on Anon listens to the radio 2 months ago:
Yes!
FM radio has to compete with (free) Spotify nowadays given that 4g coverage is pretty ubiquitous, at least where I live. This means they can’t stuff too many ads in there.

Honestly from the point where
::: spoiler spoiler Walter was offered to have his entire treatment paid for and turned it down in favour of selling drugs… :::
…he lost all my sympathy. I was increasingly curious about how things were going to go wrong for him. More fascinating train wreck, less investment in him personally.

- Comment on Any interesting new (2024+ launch) browser games / web-based games? 3 months ago:
Prosperous universe might fit the bill depending on how deep into economy sim you want to go. Beware that you have some limitations as a completely free player, that are removed (last I checked) after you’ve made at least one purchase. So think of playing “free” as a demo.

- Comment on Study Finds Biking to Work HALVES Risk of Early Death | Berm Peak 5 months ago:
What is the direction of causality here? Being physically able to bike to work inherently filters out a lot of at-risk groups. It’d be good to actually be able to read the study in order to check the methodology, and whether they compensate for these sorts of things.
Unfortunately, the uploader does not reference the source, which makes it difficult to check, and I’m not going to watch an entire video essay to try and find a reference in there (if it even exists).
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 5 months ago:
There’s also umu!
It essentially (if I’ve understood things correctly) aims to replicate the behaviour of proton.
Works like a charm, I have a simple alias set up that will run almost any .exe - even installers and stuff. Only thing that hasn’t worked so far was my digital exam software (that is essentially a windows rootkit) because it couldn’t find the cursor images lol.

Personally, I find the discussion of equality and equity to be quite interesting. Partly because of which areas where either may be considered preferable, and which areas where implementing equity policies ends up leading to objectively worse outcomes, usually in the long term and on a societal level.

- Comment on Communism 8 months ago:
Just saying that there are a lot of governments who like to pretend. If it’s called Peoples Socialist Democratic Republic of Utopian Communist Happiness, odds are that you should run for the hills.
- Comment on Communism 8 months ago:
The self-identification of governments is possibly the least reliable way to identify which are closest to being socialist/communist.
- Comment on Communism 8 months ago:
It looks like a European welfare state, because instead of upending the system and ending up in an authoritarian nightmare, people are compromising with each other.
Popular prosperity is a function of power being reliant on the approval of the masses, and thus will not be achieved in any meaningful way under an authoritarian regime.

So you met someone who was shitty about consent, and decided to also be shitty about consent?
Wow!

At 32 bits it’s “just” a Thanos snap
- Comment on Is Europe Turning Fascist? by Second Thought 1 year ago:
The core component of fascism is authoritarianism with totalitarian goals. Many nationalist movements throughout history have not been fascist in nature, and many non-fascists have embraced nationalist values without becoming fascists.
- Comment on Is Europe Turning Fascist? by Second Thought 1 year ago:
The core component of fascism is authoritarianism with totalitarian goals. Many, nationalist movements throughout history that have not been fascist in nature. Several European democracies have come into being because of nationalist movements.
- Comment on Is Europe Turning Fascist? by Second Thought 1 year ago:
Fascist? No.
There is certainly a popular reactionary swing away from social liberalism and towards national conservatism however.
