Ahah, mine is the same as…

Oh. Fuck.

I have to respect the confidence.

No. Racism is prejudice on the basis of race. Being part of a group that is generally a target doesn’t excuse your own behavior and give a blank card for your own prejudices.

We are ALL grown-ups. Act like it. Asking someone to be aware of their own privilege is not the same as telling someone they’re inherently guilty to the genitals or skin color they were born with, regardless of their own actions. That is NOT “being asked to self-reflect” as you put it. That is simply prejudice and you will be called out on it. The same way I will call-out a cat-calling man, a man-hating woman or a raging racist, because to me you are all the same.

You have the right to say sexist shit. And we have the right to call you out for it.

Look, you want to vent because there are problematic men, go ahead. You have to complain because there are aspects of male culture that enable such men, go ahead.

But the moment you attack a whole group for the actions of a few, just because of physical similarities you are no better than a racist and I will call you for it.

I can’t comprehend how people can make such a statement when the same logic applied to race instead of gender would make them (righteously) scream bloody racism.

I’m not responsible for the actions of someone who has the same genitals as me, no more than someone with the same skin color.

Same, but I skipped manjaro and popOS. And I used slackware at the college computers. Debian still wins for me, it came a long way.

I even upgraded the system without a clean installation and everything worked perfectly and I have huge customization in my pc.

If this can’t produce the brown note, nothing will!

Oops, I did a switcheroo on the question. But I used my real CC number, swear on my eyes.

My rule of thumb is, if he doesn’t give you the solution right off the bat he won’t give you one. If that happens either fix it yourself or start a new chat and reformulate the question completely.

Trump isn’t stupid, at least not that stupid. Your analogy would work better if instead of shooting his own foot he’s shooting Uncle Sam’s foot. You act confused because you think he works for Uncle Sam. He does not. He’s a Russian asset: his job is to make sure Uncle Sam never walks again, while pretending he’s not doing it on purpose so he can keep doing it.

When you look at it that way, all his actions make perfect sense. He works for Putin and he’s doing a good job. Until people realize this he’ll keep sabotaging the US.

“we’ll get wid of the taxes and waise the tawiffs. Beautiful tawiffs, the best ones… some people - good people - say. We’ll call it tawiff season, uhuhuh!”

I read Ken’s book and it seems he always painted himself in the best of lights. At the same time, even from his own POV, he always came off as screwing his workers.

They are eating the dogs and now they are tariffing the penguins.

Uh? Of course he isn’t. Why would Putin tell him to put tariffs on himself? That makes no sense.

The other fly swatters will know not to mess with that fly.

This reminds me of a story with an old high school maths teacher.

Someone said a number divided by zero was zero and he proceeded to explain why it was not. One of the class jokers went “oh yeah, well my calculator says it’s zero!”. The teachers smiles and says “surely not” and approaches the joker to see what kind of shenanigan he was pulling. And sure as hell he divides five by zero and zero is the result. The teacher, not believing his own eyes, looks at the calculator, then the joker, then the calculator again. The window was open. Figure out the rest yourself.

Not much, just stare at Luigi’s picture and droll.

I’m not.

This animal needs to go.
