It's about what the donors want

Yes, but the reason “donors” matter is precisely that their money can sway public opinion. Not the opinion of anyone intelligent, you understand, but that’s still most people.

we'd get waaay more votes if Dems just didn't support genocide.

This is sadly false. Again, public opinion is with Israel for now. That’s reality. Wanna change things? Come up with a way to convince racists and folks with an IQ below 100 that genocide is bad.

The reason for literally every single one of your complaints is public opinion. If you want things to change, you need to change people’s minds. That takes time and effort and it’s incredibly frustrating. I’ve given up trying to persuade people that torturing animals in factory farms is bad. Don’t forget 99% of human history had institutionalized slavery and rape. Most people are hopelessly morally bankrupt, unimaginably stupid, and barely sentient. Still, if you want the world to change, you gotta persuade them. No other option. Getting mad at “democrats” or “republicans” makes no sense when they’re the embodiment of their voters’ hideous opinions.

You’re not wrong. I just think phones do too much as it is. I have like 5 computers, and I don’t need my phone to do everything. But what it does it has to do perfectly.

That’s not my experience but congrats

I have both, and the iOS integration of basic features is insane. Consider examples like… passwords; I’ll get a verification code in a text message or an email and it’ll auto populate and then delete the message. There are so many features like that, which make your phone a seamless part of the “ecosystem.” Android is the opposite. You need an app to do anything and it will require setup and it won’t work every time.

Convenience is what matters. Bootloaders and codecs are not as important as whether my earbuds connect instantly and 100% of the time. A phone should make my life simpler. Etc.

You want me to have empathy for the people killing me? Your world is already replete with violence. I guess it just doesn’t count until it’s directed towards you.

Yes, your bizarre and irrational distaste for self defense is killing the planet. Thanks for understanding.

Daily reminder that authoritarianism and socialism are logically, theoretically, and obviously incompatible. That’s why tankies sound so incoherent.

It’s like that gif of an orangutan fighting the bulldozer. I’m not sure why you think it’s an “emotional” response to defend yourself from the people literally trying to end all sentient life on this planet. It’s folks like you who’re pusillanimously marching our collective species into the afterlife.

Also, btw, all normative decisions, “logical” and otherwise, are fundamentally “emotional.” You’ve no other mechanism for evaluative judgement, you dumb moralizing motherfucker.

Discord is fashionable. That’s it. The whole app is fantastically impractical if you want to use file or screen sharing. It’s just a bunch of gamers circle-jerking each other, which is a perfect way to keep them from infesting the rest of the internet.
