Pop OS. I honestly feel like it was a great transitional OS for me as a lifelong Windows user. Kind of like riding a bike with training wheels.

Starting by removing the association between masculinity and being a bigot by changing male social behavior seems to be the logical first step. The change absolutely has to come from within. Starting by not tolerating it when your buddies say bigoted shit seems insignificant but is a huge step in the positive direction, and every small change counts.

The overwhelming majority of all the right-wing men I've ever met have been a thousand times more miserable, angry, and bottled up than their left counterparts. The right wing inherently fosters that kind of existence with its rigidity, judgment, paranoia, and aggression.

Their recruitment ads are getting laughably desperate, too--all crazy CGI and sci-fi fantasies aimed at gullible COD nerds. They almost got me (poor kid straight out of high school, I was vulnerable) and haven't stopped chasing me ever since. It's been like 8 years and I still get recruitment material targeted at me, somehow--one of them even texted me like a year or two ago.

Maybe if they paid better, took better care of veterans, and weren't part of a bloodthirsty genocide machine slaughtering innocent people, they wouldn't be having so much trouble.

It took off because it was objectively the best catch-all communication option for gamers at the time. It's still the best option for certain use cases like that, but I'll never understand why people prefer it for projects, troubleshooting, updates, etc. It seems incredibly lazy and unserious to me. And the current Discord mobile layout is absolutely horrible, making for a totally miserable user experience.

Get your games from trusted sources, make sure the hash lines up, and don't worry about it. Especially since you're on Linux--you'll be absolutely fine. Common sense goes a long way.

Get a nice safety razor, buy a pack of like 100 blades. When you run out, you just buy more blades for super cheap. It will no joke last you a lifetime for an infinitely smaller amount of money. Looks and feels nicer too. Realize I'm replying months late, but I hope you got it figured out lol.

Didn't TwoXChromosomes end up having a huge transphobia problem?

If the punishment is a fine, it's legal if you have enough money. What a half-assed solution. Better than nothing, I guess?

I mean Israel itself has admitted to pouring funds into having internet warriors spread propaganda and negatively target anything that challenges their narrative. A better use of time would be to continue spreading the information they're trying to suppress and spread them thin.
