I think the reason a lot of men who are stuck in this mindset stay stuck in it is because the only time they actually do think they can be vulnerable is when expressing love to their partner. So it's something they crave and don't realize they can be vulnerable in other contexts. I think it's part of what leads to red pill mentality.

It's hard for men to understand how patriarchy also hurts them. It expects men to be stoic protectors. Emotional vulnerability is a sign of weakness under that worldview.

That's not really avoidable if your use case is client side scripting in the browser lol.

BROWSER BAD >:( GRRRR

To be honest, I'm a firm believer that if it's considered required to read the news file for updating then the update tool should be printing that information for you. I used to have a hook that did it, but it was flaky. Also, I saw the creator mention that due to the design of the hooks, it happens too late in the process for some manual intervention to be done properly. But because everyone in Arch has such an obsession with "no bloat" I doubt we'll ever see pacman have that feature.

One that has stuck with me lately was "mistook sign for signified."

I literally just made a post about this and thought I was sounding crazy. Cops are already calling Deflock a terrorist organization. It's very odd that this has the name "de-flock". You're not alone. It feels off.

I don't believe arbitration agreements should be legal at all, but with how conservative US courts are right now, I doubt we'll see it overturned.

I would be careful calling this "de-flock" because one of the more prominent groups against Flock is called Deflock and they already get lies from police calling them a terrorist organization despite never advocating for anything like tearing them down. If I really was putting on my tin foil hat, I'd say this was an intentional false flag operation called "de-flock" to further muddy the waters with regards to the Deflock organization. That's a bit much, though.

Note that I'm not saying folks shouldn't be participating, I'm only saying a different name for the activity would be prudent.

Rhys Darby did a bit somewhat similar to this at a standup. About a Roomba and a Cyber Truck. I don't remember the specifics. But it was about the Roomba wanting to see the world. He's very funny, if you ever have the chance to see him live, I highly recommend it.

you have recourse when stupid shit happens like them stealing your hardware

Just as an aside, you didn't directly say it but may have inadvertently implied it, but the post says BestBuy sent back the extra 32 GB they removed with the laptop. They didn't steal it.

They aren't mutually exclusive. They can be both.

They aren't mutually exclusive, goons can goon.
