Go to a local video game bar and play socially there.

I agree with the comedy image.
The only thing worse than the squalor of addiction is the unearned confidence of people with glasses.
It would be more accurate if you said, “This is not about right and wrong (for me).”
If you say it’s not about right and wrong, dead stop, then you are pledging full faith to the institutions, the very ones we are critiquing.
Basically, you are dismissing my opinion as misguided, dismissing me as missing the point and I am telling you it was expressed exactly as intended.
In short, you are arguing on the wrong conceptual meta-level for me to respond without dismissing my own claim. If I take as True that “this isn’t about right and wrong” (it is), then I am setting aside the power I have in a democratic society to say, “Fuck this I’m changing it.” Maybe we’ve just been stuck in gridlock politics, with a ruling class that strips and monetizes every aspect of humanity that the society today doesn’t realize the power citizens wield.
Not sure. Been fun to think and share thoughts with you though. Thanks for your time and have a nice night.
An impasse is a perfectly acceptable outcome on a sane platform like Lemmy.
It’s a quote of an opinion, so in general I ignore them. I’m usually more interested in distilling ideas constructed with some line of reasoning.
But I guess we can look at this one. Find it’s essence. Tho it doesn’t seem very deep…
“Societies with rule of law are dictatorships. How leaders are selected and the existence of fundamental Constitutional rights is not a factor.”
So in short.
Having laws at all is a dictatorship.
Yeah, that is one of the opinions I’d ignore. It’s easy to have that opinion inside the walls of a lawed society.
Luckily it is valid to respond to an opinion with an opinion, and mine is that I imagine everyone (except the strongest with the most resources) would abandon that perspective as soon as they lived in a world with no laws.
I had nothing to say to that. I agree with it.
One paragraph discusses action, the other discusses philosophy. I only took issue with your regressive philosophy. I’m open to correcting misunderstandings, elaborate if you feel I continue to miss something.
“No one should stand up for new rights. Don’t rock the boat bro.”
Your mindset is the road to a dictatorship.
“Because what is legal is always right.
And what is right is always legal.”
No?
In a fascist state, your mindset is welcome, “Well they broke the rule, they must pay,” but do you never abstract one more level? Is the rule itself breaking something?
Those who downvote you say yes. Nuance is important. The rule has two main affects that I see.
Okay lets think about #1. Is that good or bad?
Okay lets think about #2. Is that good or bad?
Being critical in thought enough to recognize the flaws of the first quote is key.
This drug could potentially ruin your life.
So we will ruin your life to prevent that potentiality.
I hate these bars, I have no idea how anyone tolerates eating it anywhere indoors.
Ah good, so I can tell my therapist I’m no longer a nihilist but a quantum foamer.
This is great.
Please elaborate.
I thought the stone tools idea was conveyed by the assistant holding a toolbox containing only mishapen stones. Is there something about the wordplay of the phrase I am missing?
Yea, this is over explained for a FarSide.
I need my Jeff Arcuri clips without visiting Reddit.
Just…
$ sudo su
…bam, no more sudo. And likely no more system within a few sessions 🫣
Solution? Just don’t make mistakes. Ezpz. /s
Yeah the search tool isn’t the greatest, tho I expect third party maps of communities will spring up at some point.
Thanks.
I have no critique of anyone’s preference. I joined the linux board looking for discussions on novel ways to use the system.
Since I haven’t found that here, I thought I’d add a comment to see if it’s just me. And I wanted to check to see if there is an alternative forum for such conversations.
Maybe a shell, bash, scripting, or man page community. Idk.
Is it just me that dislikes when packages are mentioned instead of a series of terminal commands? I don’t want to install a package. Why would I want to rely on a package and it’s maintainer when I could write a shell script using the tools native to my OS?
Is this unreasonable or just unpopular?
So cool.
