My Fedora distro can’t restart and stalls when it tries to shutdown with the auto update checked. So it never shuts down. I set up a cronjon to run dnf update to make sure that I don’t need to uncheck the auto update option. Just a really silly thing that bothers me.

You can buy really good bike tires for like $60 that are very unlikely to puncture. and cargo bikes exist. plus, you can still have small trucks that are designed to transport things instead of these lifted monstrosities that are only going to lead their office worker driver to throw out their back trying to clean a couch onto them.

The act of hooking up reduces other people to sex objects to satisfy’s one needs.

One is only trying to get rid of sexual urges and seeing other individuals as a medium for that.

I mean. It kind of feels like you’re trying to invalidate the feeling of being desired as something that is valid. In the proper context, aka consent, being desired by another person is actually fun.

One is not trying to make a connection with other humans by hooking up or trying to make a community by hooking up.

As another comment mentioned that is atomization and individualistic.

I’m not surprised to see this. It’s also something I encountered in real life with someone. I just think it’s a weird hangup. Like, very short term relationships are still relationships with obligations. I bought a homeless person some food on the street. I did not owe that homeless person anything but I had compassion and care for that person. Same thing for a hookup. Just because it’s just sex doesn’t mean I’m going treat them as disposable. I think it is itself individualistic to think as something that is short term as disposable and not something that still requires care and compassion.

They are really bad on COVID. In particular, they reduce masks to a personal choice that is ineffective at stopping the COVID pandemic and seem to believe that universal vaccination will stop the pandemic. The vaccine is great, it reduces deaths dramatically but it does not stop transmission. I understand masking is incredibly unpopular but they could have simply just not mentioned it.

Regardless, I think I made a pretty solid counterargument to the typical complaint about communism being authoritarian.

Nah, not solid, a great post 🥰
