Remember folks.

This is how they infiltrate circles and twist them to right wing authoritarianism and extremism

They send in someone who uses a soft approach as their opening gambit, talking about how they are good people, and how they don’t deserve to be excluded, and its really unfair to judge them for what they and their associates do, and that if you were really as tolerant and as leftist as you said you were you’d accept them, and engage with them, and sup with them.

While handwaving any of the actual, legitimate, pointed criticisms as the actions of a “tiny minority of zealots”

Its death by a thousand cuts, and what Hamartia here is doing is trying to do the first tiny cut. To try to make you feel unreasonable, and possibly even bigoted, for taking a stand againts the poor, innocent nazis/tankies/etc.

You know why this hasnt been a significant problem until this past decade? Cause these people were punched in the mouth the second they started "Well, Ackshually~"ing in the defense of right wing fascist extremism. The second they started to fly their freak flags. Its why they have a whole underculture of co-opted symbology and secret coded language, because they were scared and had to hide, and needed a way to recognize eachother without risking a baseball bat to their jaw.

And the reason we stopped doing that, is because this soft handed approach of theirs worked. Its why they dropped the coded language. Its why their freak flags are flying high and proud now. Its why they are openly, gleefully saying their absolute horrid, unfiltered hated with gleeful abandon now. Because what Hamartia is doing, worked. It got their foot in the door, and as soon as it was there, they crushed in with the entire party and took over.

You can see where we are today, and its because we let their faux-reason, concern trolling, and paly acting exploit our tolerance.

And you see what its gotten us

And you see why its better to go back to the old classics of punching these motherfuckers in the mouth.

So don’t let this soft hand propaganda being done by Hamartia and others sway you. Don’t let it make you feel unreasonable, or uncivil. They are manipulating you to open the door for the ones behind them that arent capable of feigning and playacting “polite” discourse in attempt to make you feel like you’re the bad guy.

These people have no place in a polite and tolerate society. They are a cancer that seeks to destroy it, by exploiting our beliefs against ourselves. Its not paradoxical. Its not hypocritical. Its not whatever bullshit attempt they make next at trying to twist tolerance into a dagger for them to use to stab tolerance itself in the back and kill it to their extreme benefit, and to societies great loss.

if I ever start a multibillion dollar company, I am totally going to name the road [Company] St, with the address being 123.

Just so everyone thinks the HQ address is fake.

its almost as if like people can make conscious decisions for themselves, yet have to be proper caretakers for animals that can not make such decisions, even if it includes going against the owners inbuilt beliefs, because it is in the best interest of the animal which is reliant wholly upon your care taking.

I dont know.

If I had my choice between a CPU that has a vulnerability that can only be exploited if the system is already compromised

or a CPU that are full of oxidation cancer, or frying themselves and doing irreparable damage… Which the company is being excessively shady about concretely admitting to any RMA promises and wwill all eventually die in short order…

I think I’m gonna go with the Ryzen and not leave leave my computer outside at defcon.

Not really.

You just smash’m up to get the PCBs out of them, ship’m across the world to a 3rd world country, where you pay children to douse them in chemicals and light them on fire, then dig through the toxic much to fish out the metal nuggets to send out for processing.

E-Z-P-Z.

barring that, unplug the ethernet.

Ah yeah, I remember it fully now with that tid bit firing up the neurons.

is this a quote? I could have sworn I’ve heard this before.

PS … also if this sounds like a corporate press release to you folks, we still punk 🤘😜🤘

"YES FELLOW KIDS, WE ARE ALSO, HOW YOU SAY, STILL DOWN WITH “IT” "

and it takes a lot more effort than most people expect to seat the ram and get it to snap into place.

I spent half an hour arguing on the phone with someone telling them their ram wasnt installed all the way to push it down further/firmer and they kept screaming it wouldnt go any further and that i was gonna break their PC. I could tell cause they sent me pics. It was almost all the way, but not quite there.

I gave up and made them to bring it over, and I pushed the ram down with an audible click while staring at him. He had the good graces to say nothing but a sheepish thankyou.

WTF case is that?

I dont think I’ve seen a case in 20 years that even had removable/installable risers.

If your computer is acting haunted, its the PSU.

If its being temperamental like a fussy teenager, its typically ram.

Exactly. 15 bucks is my retail cost.

I bet mass producing those vesa feet to include in the box wouldnt even add 5 bucks to the total cost, and no one would care or notice the price, and would love the stronger, sturdier base that doesnt require the entire USS Nimitz just to set the damn thing down on.

yes yes, you are super upset and offended that your authoritarian team has been compared to another authoritarian team and want to argue on a dictionary technicality that your authoritarianism is better than theirs, so everyone ignores the actual history and practice of it that makes your teams mass slaughter just as bad as that other teams mass slaughter.

Probably the dumbest take, Congrats. Go check the garbage for your cake.

I got a VESA stand for my grandparents TV for 15 bucks. Solid steel and sturdy as fuck.

If we were all human and capable of love, this authoritarian shit wouldnt exist.

I really don’t give a flying fuck what label it is or what their prefered uniform is, or what their favorite color is.

They’re all the same pieces of shit that want to ruin society, the world, and the species, for their own personal flavor of power.

Yes, exactly like that is what i was talking about.
