IMO: tribal thinking.

It comes down to “they do not think like I want them to or they won’t agree with me, so I will downvote posts.”

Controversial topics are even more downvoting just to downvote.

The self-built echo chambers are already constructed; self-censorship and anything outside of their views and sources are dismissed, labeled, and smeared so as to not think about the information being shared.

It happens everywhere; the status quo is welcomed, while anything outside of it will seem controversial or extreme.

Are you holding ‘Option’ down when it boots? So as to access the GNU GRUB menu?

• Noob Guide to Installing Linux Mint on 2014 MacBook Air [07:47 | FEB 05 2024 | jailbrayk] https://youtu.be/x4nbafBOB4Y

This process should work on any Intel Mac pre 2018 (without T2 security chip & secure boot). Thanks for the suggestion to install Linux on this old MacBook Air! It has brought new life to this old computer and I am really enjoying getting to know Linux, as I have never really used Linux in this capacity. Let me know if you would like a more in depth video of how I set up my Linux environment!

Edit3: improved wording a bit, and added info below; forgot to add this edit

Legalize and regulate.

I share this view with other issues our society faces as well.

Edit: forgot why.

Why:

Sex work as well as drugs will never be outlawed or enforced fully; looking at drugs, it is used as an excuse to jail the working class for slave labor as well as other things when you follow the money.^[1]

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.^[2]

Edit2: added a reply to question; fomat to seperate quotes

“A man chooses. A slave obeys.”

“We all make choices, but in the end… our choices make us.”

Quotes are by Andrew Ryan.

Andrew Ryan is a fictional character in the BioShock video game series developed by Irrational Games. He serves as the secondary antagonist in BioShock, and also appears in its follow-ups BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea.

“Que Mala.”

Well, that can also be said for those that consume MSM vs. those on social media and the internet.

There are also groups that voted for Obama, then turned around and voted for Trump.

Obama: Hope.

Trump: Drain the swap.

They might have learned to never trust a politician at face value.

Or, hear me out:

Maybe, just maybe, it is due to the continuation of the status quo, similar to warmonger Hillary Clinton.

IMHO: Always help out the working-class people if you can; the homeless and’middle class’ are the working-class.

You don’t have to let them in your home or do too much, but I would offer them a box with food, plenty of water, and a basic care package.

We all need to make time to join in helping our local communities. 1 hour a year is much more helpful than 0 hours a year.

Mantra:

“We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach… No War but Class War!”

Government censorship will cause TikTok’s services in the US to shut down, which will result in most users moving to another social media platform.

I think most people already use multiple platforms, so the only difference will be the time they put into their new main social media.

Thank you.

Rejecting science, no good.

You have the science, good!

Do you have kids or pets that like to play with the toilet paper roll?

If yes, then Under.

If no, then Over.

‘Saved’

Thanks for reminding us and for letting us know, I will have to make time to set one up for myself!
