  • How many of you are substance free?

  • Jesus, there's some real intellectual elitism being displayed in this thread. Like I understand that the American education system is shitty and a large portion of the population is just functionally literate, and I understand the frustration of having to deal with those types of people and having to explain things to them. But, that's one thing, it's another completely different thing to call them idiots or see them as lesser. They're most likely not idiots, it probably just means they has less help and/or less experiences than you did as a kid to better understand some of the things you did. You should never look down upon someone for being less intelligent or less educated than you. Those things are not the entirety of what make up a person's worth. There's things like creativity, emotional intelligence, etc. Everyone deserves the same base level of respect, and if you think you're the smartest person in a room bar none, you're actually the idiot.

  • Windows 11 has been a nightmare for me. Every time I leave the file browser open my fans start up like I'm doing something insensive. Mssms freezes constantly, visual studio freezes constantly. Switching between virtual desktops? Not without waiting 30 seconds. And finally, idk if this is a dell thing or a win11 thing but the "low power mode" that activates if my battery is at or below 10 percent, despite me turning off all battery saving settings I can find, makes my computer functionally useless. Programs don't load, I can't close or open anything. Like the whole point of low power mode is so you have a little more time to wrap up things before you can get to a charger. There's no point to that if you set my PC so low power that it literally can't even run the bloated ass OS on it. I hate it so fucking much.

  • China approves 'ethnic unity' law requiring minorities to learn Mandarin

  • It's because we're living in a post American assimilation world and they don't realize that happened. But my grandparents would talk about how they'd be slapped on the hands with rulers for speaking Cajun French and now it's a dead language. This law feels like the first step to a similar cultural assimilation.

  • 50% of the wealth in America is now owned by the top 1%, they can effectively ignore what we want and turn a more reliable profit, that is, of course, until the bubble pops.

  • ICE is as American as Apple Pie

  • What's crazy is in my area, most people are Cajun, the Cajuns faced so much discrimination, deportation and even an attempted genocide, and successful assimilation, Cajun French is essentially a dead language. Their Great and great great grandparents were facing discrimination for being accepting of people of color and for not speaking English. Yet due to lack of education of their own history most Cajuns don't realize they're perpetuating the very injustices their ancestors went through, hell, there's a huge population of cajuns that are POC and don't even realize it!

  • I didn't say either of those things. I said it's in poor taste to specifically make fun of the most vulnerable people in a society in your clapback.

  • So why would you make fun of the people also effected by that? It just seemed like mistargeted aggression

  • Seems in poor taste to make fun of some of the most tragic parts of our society imo

    Edit: I'm not saying that some sort of protest or criticism of America is not warranted, I definitely think it is. I'm saying doing so by making fun of the most vulnerable people in our society, that the system has failed the most, is in poor taste and comes off as punching down at the victims of the system rather than punching up at the system itself.
