Einstein said if you can’t explain something to a layperson, you don’t understand it.

Trump can explain anything to dumb people, and whether he understands it is completely irrelevant.

Dumb people assume since he can explain it, he must understand it. And since he can explain it to their stupid heads, he must understand it better than anyone.

I’m convinced.

The prime directive doesn’t apply to you. You already questioned your gender and found the truth. In Star Trek terms, you’re a warp-capable society. Even if you decided to stay on your home planet.

The egg prime directive is, according to the name, about hiding information from people who haven’t thought about it.

The cost of misgendering a cis person is that they feel weird. The cost of maintaining the prime directive for an egg is they might commit suicide.

But then, everything changed when the mushroom cockneys attacked

As my eyes scanned one by one down the length of the post, they grew wider, and soon my mouth joined them in gaping open. It was true! It had to be. Nobody could write fiction with such raw detail and well structured prose. Only someone recounting genuine experiences could so perfectly capture the subtleties at play within this beautiful and haunting narrative.

But 5D chess is really fun

It’s a name given to us by straight men who wanted to pretend women can’t really be gay.

We’re gay witch women. Don’t need a special word for it.

I’m a communist and I think we should have a stateless society.

How does that make you feel, moo?

I don’t think that’s why we’re having this conversation. Seems like you’re talking about technicalities and I’m talking about values. I don’t think we can have a conversation like this.

Being a citizen of a country means that your government should represent you and your interests.

I’m interested in everyone’s wellbeing. Also, the government should represent its citizens’ moral interests. It should teach them kindness by being an example.

Not letting foreigners into your country because you have a housing crisis is not irrational, it is a valid reason.

Not valid. It’s discrimination.

And you think telling immigrants they’re not allowed to enter the country gives them more rights?

People aren’t zoo animals.

I’m pretty sure Mastodon is made of algorithms, mate

saying immigration needs to be lower due to a housing crisis will be called hate speech

Yeah, that’s kinda hateful. True, it really would make things easier for EU citizens if less people were using the limited housing. But it would make things harder for the immigrants. Putting citizens over immigrants is… xenophobia.

Why waste the government’s time solving the problem at poor people’s expense, when the government could instead tax rich people more to pay for housing?

I have nvidia, so Debian works better for gaming personally

But why, though? Why not just use the better distro directly?
