Because these are all vacuous statements devoid of prescriptions.

I believe in equality for everyone

They sound good online for your pals. They just don't contribute anything meaningful. We're not trying to reach you. We're just pointing out how useless you are, no matter how much you keep insisting to the world that you care about ____ [insert popular cause here] _____.

You equate democrats to Republicans, yet you are uninformed about most of the topics because you can shield yourself behind Palestine (just the topic du jour) including how different the two parties approach middle east. I bet my life's savings you don't even know what is actually going on there.

Wed all take you more seriously if at least you had some semblance of a prescription, but you don't even have that. The most useless of vacuous performative bullshit.

    I didn't call you privileged because "you believe in equality" (whatever that means). I called you privileged because your only goal is to stroke the endless shaft of virtue signaling forever to your circlejerk friends while the US fucks up the whole world. At least you and your buddies can fellate each other ni self congratulatory ocean of virtuous jizz. You don't care about Palestinians. They are just props you get to parade around as your circle jerk shield

    You did the thing. You equivocated Kamala with what is happening now:

    Kamala was fully, 100% behind the genocide and wouldn't have done shit, just like Biden.

    This is patently false. Biden did an awful job reigning Bibi, that's true. But to just sit here and pretend that today's outcome would be the same if Kamala was president is just asinine and out of touch. But there is no way to convince you, because none of this conversation is grounded in reality.

    Yea, you're right. I'm not doing a great job debunking these stupid talking points. I've heard this dialog tree a million times on Lemmy. That's all it is. A dialog tree of same stupid "genocide Kamala" "you're a zionist" etc.

    If you're not going to put in the work to understand i/p and treat everything as a simple soundbyte I can just match your energy. It's no different really

    And there it is. The fact that you equivocate between Kamala and Trump tells us everything. You are not informed or grounded in any sort of reality about this conversation.

    No, I didn't say you used an llm. I'm saying your talking points are indistinguishable from one. It's just slop sound bytes, nothing more.

    The fact that you can't at least acknowledge that Israel was also being attacked, especially after Oct 7...is also just indicative of how terminally online people talk about this conflict. You guys are not on the side of Palestinians. This is Kony 2012 all over again.

    And of course, pull out all the standard buzzword ad homs: zionist, genocide enabler etc.

    You are saying so much and nothing at the same time.

    Because it doesn't help the conversation at all if all we are limited to is slop twitter soundbites. A real discussion would entail anything about actionable solutions or realistic paths to de-escalation. And that includes bringing Israel to the table. That's what Palestinians need. Not white kids sitting around on college campuses chanting "free Palestine". Hate her for all you want, but Kamala was the vehicle for de-escalation. Not Trump.

    Not running the mill on a collection of LLM slop soundbites "from the river to the sea" / " apartheid colonial ethnostate" over and over and over is just....meaningless. If you guys aren't capable of addressing these with real concrete actionable items, it's just effervescent self masturbatory ejaculate

    So essentially you can just say whatever you want with nothing to back it up, gotcha.

    I've explained what the iron dome is.

    By your logic, why don't we just send Iran, Palestine, etc. the same kind of "defensive" weapons?

    Correct. They are not key allies in the me.

    See, now we can identify the point of disagreement, which is that I'm not a genocidal Zionist.

    And now we're back in the world of slop sound bytes. I'm so happy for you that you're anti-genocidal. How brave and noble

    No, it takes twice as much energy to refute lies and stupidity. The iron dome bill is exclusively for defense weapons intended to intercept icbms etc, but that wouldnt matter to you because you probably would say something insane like "Israel doesn't have a right to exist" or something to that extent. So we're not having a conversation based in reality. You screeching "Israel doesn't have a right to exist" isn't going to make several million Jews pack up their bags and exit the Levant. So we're back to living in the world of Twitter memes and slop sound bytes.

    Now, I'm not saying I can predict how you're going to move the goalposts. But I can infer where you stand

    Hi,

    I'm considering transitioning completely to Linux for my main workstation. However, due to the nature of my work I rely extensively on a few Autodesk products (namely AutoCAD, Revit) as well as Ms OneDrive to coordinate with clients. I did some research and these applications are not available natively and can't run through Wine. So I was thinking setting up a virtual machine with a windows image in order to run these two programs. They don't need extensive GPU. I was wondering if there are any obstacles / issues I should be aware if I chose to go this route? Thanks!

     

    These monkeys went bananas: 40 monkeys escaped from a research facility in South Carolina, and local authorities on Wednesday warned residents to stay away.

    “Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,” the Yemassee police department said on Facebook this week. “If you spot any of the escaped animals, please contact 911 immediately and refrain from approaching them.”

    The monkeys that absconded were from the Alpha Genesis research center, which bills itself as “primate research specialists”. Police said that they have set up traps around the area and are “utilizing thermal imaging cameras in an attempt to locate the animals”.

     

    My experience on this platform has been mixed so far but one thing I've noticed the most is a significant contingent of the user base is really reactionary in their discourse.

    This is a very typical exchange I have here :

    User: I don't like this color because it's red.

    Me: I don't know, looks more like purple to me. What about red is bad?

    User: Why don't you fuck yourself in the face you fucking cuntfuck!

    Me: OK...

    Like, what gives? I don't have this experience on other platforms. I have arguments but never this shutdown meccanism.
