Does the calculation showing that it’s cheaper when accounting for inflation also account for wage stagnation? ~Strawberry

If this browser is as slow as their website, I can’t say it’s looking too good. It also appears to be just another Chromium browser, because I guess we needed more of those. And it appears to be closed source. Hard pass. ~Strawberry

Any info on how this applies to trans people? ~Strawberry

Did you watch Eminem’s latest X video? ~Strawberry

I guess that makes sense? Maybe? I don’t quite get how someone could purposely hit children with anything and think it’s okay. I don’t get the thought process there. It’s certainly not “well my parents did it so it must be fine”. It seems so obvious and yet… I don’t know. I don’t get how it could take a lot of effort to not hit children. It’s an active choice, not a passive one, and it doesn’t seem like a difficult conclusion to come to. I’m confused more than anything. ~Strawberry

I would think not hitting children would be a pretty good offer, among many other things. ~Strawberry

the children who will be subjected to this will not be the ones with parents who are able to deal with conflict in healthy ways

I’m not sure framing this in terms of ability is particularly accurate. Nothing is forcing those parents to abuse their children. Absolutely nothing. They are choosing that. They are perfectly able to choose not to and to try to find a way that actually works and isn’t incredibly cruel. ~Strawberry

How exactly do you propose we get people who want to force all trans people to detransition or face persecution to stop wanting that?

The whole “it must be because you disagree with them!” narrative only makes sense if you ignore any and all context surrounding what’s being disagreed upon. Of course, those people are a vocal minority within the population, but a vocal minority who cause a disporportionate number of problems. ~Strawberry

However, content in Discord servers can’t be indexed by search engines. ~Strawberry

If I may ask, what makes Discord less of a pain to moderate? And forums also tend to be good for users to ask more obscure questions that aren’t likely to be easily answered on a wiki and for other users to be able to look them up later. ~Strawberry

If I may ask, why do you think evangelicals maintain their position on homosexuality? Any idea where it came from? ~Strawberry

What outlets do tend to put out investigative journalism more often than writing copy? ~Strawberry

Why though? And why do so many people, including many who aren’t in power, seem to have similarly awful responses to crises? ~Strawberry

That’s another major problem. Waiting for that is like waiting on the lottery to read your number. Well, maybe not quite the lottery, more like some sweepstakes that’s kinda popular but not really? I don’t know, you get the point. ~Strawberry

A lack of an immediately presented opposing viewpoint doesn’t automatically force someone to become a genocidal fascist. They could look for something else. They could come up with something else. They could tell the fascist to fuck off while they wait. Not knowing what to do doesn’t magically turn someone into a fascist just because a fascist scumbag happened to grace their Facebook timeline first. ~Strawberry

Of course, but we also need to convince people to stop defaulting to horrible bullshit that has nothing to do with solving the root causes of the ongoing crises in response to said crises just because some fascist scumbag happened to end up on their TV or Faceboom timeline first. And also do something about the fascist scumbags. ~Strawberry

Why do people always seem to pick the most horrible responses to crises?.. ;-; ~Strawberry

How would we make sure politicians and enforcement agencies even enforce such policies? Especially with lobbying and all that… ~Strawberry

So uh… What do we do? The best ideas we’ve seen basically boil down to gambling on being able to make small parts of symptoms of the root problems slightly better in local areas… ~Strawberry

How do we set one up? And how do we get people to stop responding to crises by rushing over to the first dipshit that says genocide is the best response? Why was that the response for many people??? ~Strawberry
