  Well, it’s not so simple for gaming. People who don’t already own a gaming PC will need to drop a lot of money to buy one, and then get used to gaming on Linux (which can be janky, as I’m sure you know).

  But, it’s worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sounds logical to me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, this isn’t logical at all. Even queer people have unsatisfying hookups for various reasons.

  Being queer isn’t just about enjoying a certain type of sex, it’s about being attracted to a certain type of person. If you’re questioning being straight, presumably it’s because you think some men are kind of attractive. Find a man like that, meet up with him, and see how things go.

  Picking a guy on grindr and only describing him as “kinda feminine” isn’t how you get to enjoyable sex. Where is the initial attraction that you’d feel if you’re into men? The buildup of sexual tension that you’d feel if you’re compatible? The discovery of how different types of sex acts feel? You need to go through these steps to actually find pleasure. I’m surprised that so many comments on this post don’t seem to understand this.

  That’s not how the burden of proof works. Regardless of what they’re doing, you’re also making a claim, and are refusing to back it up.

  Source?

  For some reason your comment appears uncensored to me, but the top commenter’s is censored.

  They asked 2 questions and you just said “yes” 🙃

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did a simple phone call become so problematic?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Strong disagree. A phone call isn’t a demand, and doesn’t mean that you don’t care what the other person is doing. It’s a request to talk to them, and can always be declined. Some things are more quickly and easily sorted out by phone call than text.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did a simple phone call become so problematic?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do the people around you do that a lot?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feelin free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem isn’t that people have to do work. The problem is that we live in an economic system where the increase in profit created by technological advances is seized by business owners to make themselves richer, at the expense of the workers who they employ. This allows some to become billionnaires while others have to work multiple jobs or become homeless.

  The goal isn’t to be self-sufficient – the goal is to continue to work with others, while abolishing the class of people who would happily seize profit created by your own labour to make themselves an easy buck.

  Ah yes, the USSR, a state which considered homosexuality to be a mental disorder and a sign of fascism, and then subsequently criminalized it, arrested queer people, and sentenced them to years in labour camps.

  People oppose communism because we don’t trust authoritarians to make good decisions, and when they inevitably make bad decisions, the effects are disastrous and widespread due to how centralized the system is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feelin free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are lots of people with very precise ideas about how to execute it, and most of these people are not widely studied. The communist states that arose in the 20th century are all representatives of a narrow slice of authoritarian statist communism called Marxism-Leninism. If you want to learn about other ways of organizing a communist society, you can read the writings of other figures like Bakunin, Kropotkin, Pannekoek, Öcalan, etc.
