  • Install windows 11, installer takes 11 hours, run windows update for another 11 hours, restart, install drivers one by one from various websites for an hour, run windows update, restart, uninstall bloatware, restart, disable telemetry in 100s of menus, run windows update, restart, disable telemetry again after windows update re-enabled them, go to various websites to download your preferred applications, install them one by one, restart.

  • This. Why would anyone want their private conversations, out there? Don’t put your password in you will. Put a dead man switch on your PC.

    If it is to close down a social media account they can contact the company directly.

    If it is to take out money, they can contact the bank directly.

    If it is to inform contacts, they can live without knowing.

    If it is to cancel subscriptions, you’re going to have to send letters, wait in a phone call for hours, and cancel the credit card either way because of scummy cancellation practices.

    What criticism? Your post literally is “haha, look at sad white people after they get what’s coming to them”

    And your entire joke only works if “all of white people” was one single entity, but they’re not. A white person is not responsible for other white people.

    And why should that one white person just shut up and take the punches for something they’re not responsible for?

    But I will read CRT and get back to you one day. If it is based on science as you say, it should offer an explanation to why hate only is acceptable when it is directed at someone with a system advantage they didn’t ask for.

    My definition is the number 1 definition on the dictionary you linked.

    And here’s how definitions work:

    If you fall under only a single of the definitions, you are as defined. I.e. maybe you don’t have a systemic advantage over me, (neither do I over you, because I don’t live in the US and am a racial minority in the country I live in), you are still racist under the other just as valid definitions. They’re not outdated definitions, they’re official and still very much valid definitions that apply to you, a racist.

    I am not helping the right one bit, you are radicalizing the right by spreading hate against people who had nothing to do with building the system, or had anything to do with slavery. Why would anyone listen to a raging lunatic calling them all sorts of slurs? They’ll think “the fuck is wrong this person?”

    You are so blinded by hate, and so motivated to “get back at the oppressors” you would attack an entire race over it. Go outside.
