Oh yeah, I’ve had my fair share of disaster, backing up lesson learned the hard way lol

I’ll do my best to remember to update when I get around to trying the upgrade out. Thanks again!

what in there indicates animosity?

The racism.

There was a time

That time is now, it is still an acceptable defence in too many places, or has only very recently been banned

And it’s just so fucking cool to have a big dump truck be silent?! I cannot get over how happy it makes me that they’re just chilling silently when they’re stopped. Makes my mornings more peaceful.

This in itself is worth the change, reducing noise in residential areas (and others) would be a huge improvement in quality of life for both people and wildlife.

It’s also absolutely adorable 😂

(which is probably why they’d hate it 🙄)

Wow, thanks! That does look promising (to me as a lay person anyway!), I’ll have to give it a try once I’ve sorted out that extra memory I’ve been meaning to buy since my backup space is running out, and I definitely want to make sure I have a solid back up before trying anything.

Better, fair, but is it possible to upgrade an existing install? 😬

I have a lot going on right now and convenience is priority over ideal if I’m honest…

So far I’ve managed to avoid most this kind of crap with minor tweaking, but with end of life coming soon I’ve been meaning to make the switch for ages, but there are always more urgent priorities… If you don’t mind me asking, and if you know - is it still possible to switch from win10 to win10 LTSC, and if so, what does it entail (do I need a fresh install, or can I just upgrade?)?

It is a pejorative

No, it isn’t, just like TERF isn’t or like pointing out someone is white or male isn’t, they are all simple statements of fact, that those they apply to don’t like because, being used to always being the “default” that doesn’t need categorising, it gives them the tiniest of glimpses of being part of an out group, without all of the oppression people like them actually enforce on members of the groups they marginalise.

Don’t play in to the hands of the victimhood seeking bootlicker. This person is not being attacked or bullied or harmed in any way, they are literally just facing the consequences of their actions and words.

As they fucking should.

They’re also literally defending cops, probably the most well known group of domestic abusers out there. It really isn’t a big leap to make that if someone gets defensive over abusers (or racists), it’s because they’re actually getting defensive about their own behaviour.

E: also, the fact that the mods had removed your comment, but none of the racist bootlicker’s, tells you everything you need to know about who they prioritise in this space - when “don’t be a dick” becomes “don’t be a dick to fascists”, you’re actively platforming fascists.

I am entitled to my opinion in this community

As is everyone else!

And just like everyone else, your feelings of entitlement don’t protect you from having your shit opinion criticised, nor you, for having it!

So fuck off, racist bootlicker.

You’re good, like I said, it clearly wasn’t intentional, we all pick up different bits of information along our ways, this is probably one of those things that circulated in feminist spaces more than celebrity ones, but either way, now more people know!

I appreciate the seconding, but also find it ironic considering the article we’re replying to that you (completely unintentionally, I don’t doubt) chose a meme featuring sex pest James Franco.

What in the world necessitates those?

A system designed to abuse and control.

You must be new here…

Hey, at least it was clean!

My point exactly (I actually wrote a clarification that pointed out some of the ways in which the right has and currently co opts leftist ideas and language to gain power, including the father of fascism himself Mussolini, but I ended up rambling so I deleted it all and left it as is lol)

There is no compromise between two inherently incompatible views of the world, the one that wants to grow and expand and hoard power and resources at any cost simply won’t allow for any real equity or justice (E: or competition!) to exist, it depends on inequality, exploitation, division, and oppression to function, and will consume and destroy anything that gets in its way. It’s why capitalism cannot be reformed, it must be abolished.

Or TL;DR:

A mixture of far left and middle right politics

So like national socialism then? 🤔

I always enjoy the payoff of Lucky Number Slevin even after watching it a few times.

I know there are more but I’m struggling to think at the moment, I might have to come back to this…

Yup, like so many other exploitative and oppressive groups (conservatives, transphobes, racists, and so on), part of their schtick is playing the victim not only for the sake of their own cognitive dissonance, but also to use as a veil of innocence and obliviousness to hide their true intentions behind.
