it confuses me why so few people see it that way

Willful ignorance fuelled by religious indoctrination that getting out of your head is immoral.

Indeed, alcohol can be a problematic drug and is much more dangerous than most illicit drugs but do you assume that everyone who has a drink is doing so because they have a drinking problem?

Yeah but then how would the rich and powerful feel good about themselves?

“Increase social service programs so that we address the reason why they’re homeless and doing drugs in the first place.”

Doing drugs doesn’t imply a problem. UNODC estimates that only 10-15% of drug use is problematic. It’s not reasonable to assume that drug use is an escape from problems, any more than drinking alcohol.

They are both perfectly fine editors but they don’t hold a candle to a proper IDE

I’m not sure what you mean by “proper” in this context. Every IDE I’ve ever used has seemed like a child’s toy compared to Emacs. An annoying child’s toy with cracks and sharp edges.

I also want to play some games that go beyond the production values of SuperTuxKart and Battle for Wesnoth.

Try 0 A.D. or FreeOrion.

Have you considered using GNU Emacs? Or even shudder vim?

There are plenty of free software games available: https://libregamewiki.org/

I want closed source apps

Ewww

Switching to the Euro was never a requirement for EU membership, though.

As I understand it, adopting the Euro is now a requirement for joining the EU but there are no deadlines for the adoption. I believe Poland at least is obligated to adopt the Euro (but they haven’t and show no signs of doing so).

It would be pretty great wouldn’t it?

No. It would be the opposite of great.

Someone who says the lords name would be upset about “the lords name” specifically.

But it’s not “the lord’s name” because it’s not “the lord”, it’s “their lord”. Why would you include yourself as a subject of Christians’ “lord”?

Wrong sub. Perhaps you want !windows@sopuli.xyz ?

It’s a common thing religious people say

Exactly. How come you’re saying it?

the lords name

I’m not religious

Wut? If you’re not religious, why are you using the phrase “the lords name”?

If you believe that hateful, harmful ideas shouldn’t be challenged

I don’t see any challenging, just flailing.

Oh dear.

“Oh, I’m spreading rhetoric that hurts people? Why are you even responding to it, then?”

That’s not really a fair characterisation of the situation given that they said elsewhere:

“Later dude. This isn’t going to be productive.”

That’s a ridiculous distinction

I’m not sure what distinction you’re referring to. I don’t care either.

Edit: for that matter, I’m mystified as to why you are continuing to engage with me if you genuinely believe that I am victim blaming. Unless you don’t genuinely believe I am victim blaming, in which case why would you accuse me of that. Despicable.

I never got a nude pic, but I 100% know/knew some guys that were probably like this

So… you never encountered this yourself then?

get together and make a raid/foray into one of these manosphere forums, supporting each other’s arguments and shooting down sexist crap

Such behaviour is called “brigading” and it’s very much frowned upon.

Misandry is when someone says men who believe women shouldn’t be allowed to vote are abusive.

That’s not what I said. I said there’s a difference between being an asshole and being abusive and if OP can’t see and acknowledge that difference then they’re engaging in misandry. I didn’t say anything about voting rights and misandry. Please don’t put words in my mouth or misrepresent what I say.

you are defending and engaging in victim blaming

LOL bye now
