This is more a consequence of manipulative propaganda and poor education being weaponized against people, rather than a direct reflection of constitutional gun laws.

Revisions don’t really make sense for Framework in the same way as most other tech companies though, simply because of how upgradable and swappable the laptops are. My 13 probably has parts from two or three different “versions” at this point, and works like Lucky Charms.

The problem is the complete and often militant refusal to ever build upon anything, ever

Schools will happily drill the 3 newtonian laws of motion in one ear and out the other in literally every science class. But when it comes to actually teaching understanding, nothing but crickets.

Lot to unpack in that last panel

Wall-E functioned

He was definitely not running windows

False. It’s an Alpha Romeo, those are all just oil dispensers

Legit the only way I can figure out how to spell it

My class today decided that the killer rabbit from Monty Python got the Pope because Pudgie Vance ate the holy hand grenade

Every single time I try something new I reinstall Fedora within a day, pretty sure it’s just Stolkholm Syndrome at this point

Because craftsmen used to make things by hand and real care could be put into their creations. The better question is why we don’t do this stuff anymore, to which the answer is, as always, capitalism.

That is clearly embarrassed white

One of the big problems is even more basic than the evils of capitalism, as you mention. If there is some asshole looking to hurt you or your kids, suddenly there is a perfect (and apparently public) record literally advertising the kids’ exact location at all times.

I get why one would want to LoJack their kids, but maybe don’t give a major corporation ready access to that kind of information

Honestly just missing the old days of rpg games now, KotOR was the shit

Makes no difference if the little shit is a pig or a bastard, if something you value and care about is threatened, fucking fight for it. When they have bigger guns than you, all that means is its time to get creative.

To those downvoting, yall need to be calibrated

There is no such thing as a ‘Best Game Ever’, but it’s Mass Effect 2

Imagine someone keeps breaking into your house and shitting on your pillow. Do you move out and find a new house, or do you grab a baseball bat and beat the shit bandits ass?

Both are valid options with positive and negative consequences. Which path we choose is largely determined by the value we personally place on our things and spaces. We tend to value our homes and families more, so it’s easier to choose the bat. But, it’s the exact same choice when your country goes sideways (or any difficult decision, really).

Ask yourself; How valuable is the country, to you? How valuable is your role in its society, to you? How valuable is it that you stand up for your beliefs, to you? If you place no value on your country, then move on and feel good about taking care of yourself. If you value your country a lot, then stand and fight to the end. No one on the internet can answer these questions for you, and there is no right or wrong choice unless you decide there is.

Pretty much yeah
