But it’s not. DEI confuses equality of opportunity with equality of outcome. Opportunities must be fair and equal to all, because giving a certain boost to someone else inherently discriminates against another person (not to mention the immorality of giving opportunity based simply on biological characteristics in the first place.) Along with that, DEI doesn’t actually do this for a measurable group of people who could use a boost, ie people of the lower class, it assumes the disadvantages certain groups face on the whole and fail at compensating for any. If you want actual equality of outcome, you need a fair system of opportunity, where actual disadvantaged people are not stopped from achieving things advantaged people could (like paid university by the government based on income.) But forced diversity is not diversity, it’s discrimination. Just look at the whole affirmative action controversy when Asian people were discriminated against.

Anyways this is fucking anarchy chess, en passant or whatever. New move just dropped

This is a funny critique, but DEI itself is really just racism; people getting chosen only because of quotas, not because of ability. MLK would roll over in his grave if he saw what we were doing now.

Pretty obvious it’s in its alpha stages. Nice that he stuck with the pattern though, he really nailed in on the first try.

That’s why I fuck goats unironically, so there’s no question about my intentions

Disliking actual Nazis, instead of wasting your anger on this guy. He’s just used to be edgy. Not to mention he’s not even edgy anymore. He’s actually a pretty cool guy.

You all are still on that train from 2017?

Me looking at all the flags on the left of the peers table 😀

Those were both my picks for a phone after mine started getting old. I started looking to buy the zenfone during the whole OEM unlock predicament, and it wasn’t available in my region, so I didn’t go for it. I then also discovered the Sony xperia 5 v, but it was out of my budget (although it’s definetly my dream phone.) RIP my galaxy s10e, best small phone out there fr 🕊️

Yo. I was in the same position as you were a month ago. I had a smallish (5.7in) phone from 2019, which I loved for the compact size and the headphone jack. I was planning on keeping it forever, but the company ended software updates for it around 2 years back and it does not allow for bootloader unlock. I was really planning to continue to use it, but eventually my value of privacy overcame my value for compact phones with headphone jacks, so I bought a used Pixel. The truth is, you get used to the large screen pretty quick. Wish I could have kept the old phone, but sometimes you just gotta make a tradeoff.

This is exactly the type of thing I love.

Sorry to be a party pooper but it might be on the inside of the phone

This is cursed design

If being bigoted is wrong, it doesn’t take a genius to prove that, no?

I can disagree with everything they stand for, and think they are absolutely stupid, but god damn do they have a right to be. The mentality stemmed from twitter of “They are just so wrong I wont even listen or let them talk” is so ignorant and authoritarian. What if north korea censored people for saying anything negative about their government? That would be wrong to us, but to them it is based in logic.

The internet has become so used to banning expression, it baffles me. It used to be commonly agreed apon that every individual has a right to thought, and if they’re stupid it should be easy to prove them so. Nowadays everyone is censoring everyone they dont like. Some people on the right wanting to stop LGBT content, someone in this thread wanting to censor the Matt Walsh documentary. I’ve watched it to hear his opinion, despite how much I may disagree with him. And it brought up some good points. If the documentary is so wrong, we should put it out there to show and publicly shame, no? Censorship is the weakest form of countering, no one is the moral authority they may think they are.

Sorry to make this so long but I am tired of people being willingly ignorant because they don’t like what someone said. Have a nice day, stranger I disagree with.

No, don’t defederate. Just because an instance doesn’t align politically with your views doesn’t mean that they have to be gone. And we should definetly avoid a mastodon blocklist situation.

If you refuse to meet someone on level ground because you consider them intolerant of your own ideas, you’re the one being intolerant.
