https://zionism.wtf/ was a better "Zionist or Nazi Quote" quiz IMO but it doesn't seem to load properly anymore.

I don't trust any corporation to keep their open source projects completely open forever. As soon as profits dip they'll start looking at open source as a missed opportunity to squeeze more money out of users. Look at, oh I don't know, Reddit, Android, VSCode, Redis, MongoDB, Sentry, Draw.io, Elastic, Hashi, CentOS, and especially OpenAI. Remember, they own the IPs, they can switch licenses at will and take all the community contributions with it. And it's not always as overt as making the whole thing proprietary all at once. They'll slowly start introducing proprietary components until the open source part is basically useless without them.

You think the company facilitating DRM and micro transactions won't ban your account the instant it detects you're not using their approved proprietary version of Proton? You don't think they'll implement breaking changes to make the open source version useless?

"I'm fleeing from religious persecution."

"I will now religiously persecute the Indigenous people of the land I fled to."

Even if every single Israeli fled Islamic states, they've been pretty eager to do the exact same things they fled from. So why should I give them any more sympathy than the supposed evil Islamic regimes they escaped? They're just as hateful and intolerant of other people existing. You cease being the victim the instant you inflict the same abuse on others when the power dynamic flips.

I'm just waiting for the day Steam makes Proton proprietary after outcompeting all the indie open source Linux gaming solutions. And watch as gamers promptly not give a shit and be as uncritically worshipping of this giant profit oriented corporation as they are now. The speed at which people abandoned and outright started hating on other Linux gaming compatibility layers developed by individual people for "sucking" is insane. This is so on the nose Embrace Extend Extinguish but god forbid you call that out and spoil the vibe for people.

"Every other corporation of this size has proven to be my worst enemy but Steam is definitely my friend and has zero ulterior motives. In fact fuck you for daring to speak ill of them."

All the land Israel sits on is Palestine. All of it. Stealing it and exterminating the people already there does not make it not Palestine.

Justifying staying alive to myself.

Not saying I'm suicidal, but I'm increasingly losing my enthusiasm for living compared to when I was a kid. Used to have all these aspirations for my life and how I'd make a difference, now I've just accepted apathetically going through the motions until I die.

not recognizing [Israel] as a country.

Scavenger animals are pretty cool and some of the few times where people living in cities get to observe wildlife doing their thing, but comparing scavengers to "workers" vastly underestimates the level of exploitation workers face.

Remember, it is literally illegal in many places for humans to pick expired food out of grocery store dumpsters. Police regularly get called to protect the trash from starving people. We are literally treated as less than raccoons and opossums.

Not to mention all the people in this thread defending the gay jokes like it's 2010 and we're on the r/TumblrInAction subreddit.

I'm just waiting for someone to get called an SJW for having a problem with Nazis getting lumped in with gay people.

Proprietary software be like:

        try:
        whatever()
    except Exception:
        print("oops something went wrong uwu")
        print("also this is purely to get rid of the stack trace because apparently the only thing worse than not handling an exception is scaring the user with anything technical and/or exposing our trade secret architecture")
  

This assumes a very narrow definition of "simulation" based on our current computational theories and technology. Nothing about the simulated universe theory says the thing being used to simulate us has to be anything resembling a game engine or virtual machine like we have today, or even something that runs on anything we would recognize as a computer. In the same way a peasant from the middle ages would not even be able to fathom a virtual machine from today due to missing entire categories of context and background knowledge, us thinking we can extrapolate our technology and simulation techniques to beings that would be literal gods to us and their technology is extremely presumptuous and vastly overestimates what we know.

You're missing every other Western country "abstaining" because they're too embarrassed to vote no.

Bro just block this community and all the other popular .ml ones. Why did you even click on this thread? How does it benefit you?

Ah yes, saying sorry makes up for wanting to kill people and then actually doing it.

Let all the serial killers who apologize out of death row everyone! They're definitely reformed too, they apologized after all!

Damnit I just got suckered into buying an overpriced souvenir from my home's gift shop!

Terrorism.

Anticommunists in 1948: The commies think war is peace!!!!

Anticommunists in 2025: War has always been peace, actually.

Zohran isn't a socialist lol. The only people who think he is also think Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris are socialists.
