Dang. Thanks for being honest, but I vehemently disagree with you.

People should be allowed to call others what they want. It's up to us to be mature enough to handle people calling us things we don't like.

You should know that advocating for legal repercussions here drives people away from the cause.

Edit: It's sad how many of you want to control others' speech like this, but I guess it just goes to show that we're not really on the same side.

If a politician is running a platform of pushing legal penalties for calling people things they don't like, I will make sure to vote against them.

I'm gonna be real with you: none of the instruments are easy in the way that you describe.

The easiest instrument for you to be able to play would honestly be the piano. it is the easiest instrument to play by design, and people don't even realize it. It really only gets hard when you try playing separate parts with both hands, which isn't a requirement.

You're literally hitting buttons, which we do elsewhere in life all the time. Heck, I'm doing it right now!

Dictators aren't immediately bad and democracies aren't immediately good.

Since most people are dumb as shit and are being herded like sheep, it requires individuals who can resist the influence of the crowd to fix problems the crowd has been conditioned to allow.

In the case of El Salvador, since whatever they were doing before wasn't working, they now need to deal with an alternative that works better.

They only have themselves and the people sucking off their gang members to blame.

As an aside, stick with the defaults unless you have a specific reason to switch.

Don't overcomplicate things, or at least try to realize when you're doing it.

I think at some point its best to identify kids who stand out and nurture them so they can maximize their potential.

Like it or not, most people are just too stupid to appreciate the value of free software.

Telling kids that they're all equal does more harm than good in the long term, because it's not true.

No, it's consumerism.
