We’re at unsolicited advice now? Ok, try not to be so homophobic.

And TOS/ENT in particular

ENT gets bonus points for shran calling humans “pink skins” when Travis is right fucking there on the bridge

The message I got from McCoy was that humans got along because they found new people to be racist against instead of each other

Maybe if I’d give it some more thought I would have come up with a brilliant rebuttal like quoting myself at you

You’re right, it should be up to the gay version of a living embodiment of the “as a black man…” trope to decide for everyone

Quick, someone tell trump that Obama renewed the Patriot act

I’m not sure if the people downvoting you didn’t watch the debate or are so tribal that they’re offended by legitimate criticism of Biden

Who gets to decide what is bigotry?

Societal norms

Do you get to tell the subject of said suspected bigotry that they should feel offended?

I told you no such thing. I said that you were being homophobic. The listener decides if they want to be offended or not. Judging by this thread, a bunch of people were offended. Good job I guess?

Do you get to tell black people they are not allowed to use the N word?

Nobody told you you weren’t allowed to do anything. You started whining that they were when someone pointed out your homophobia, but nobody ever said “don’t say that” or “you’re not allowed to say that” or anything like that.

Uh oh, the person who’s been claiming that being gay gives them a free pass to be homophobic for the last 2 hours is asking about my sexuality. I can imagine the “gotcha” you’re waiting to spew at me if I say no.

I’m not going to answer that. It shouldn’t matter. Bigotry is bigotry regardless of who’s doing it, uncle ruckus. And everyone should be calling it out when they see it.

I just don’t think “hurry durr they’re gay for each other” should be used as an insult, and that doing so is homophobic. Have fun on 4chan.

So calling people gay in order to taunt them isn’t homophobic

People with Linux installations tend to have Linux LiveUSBs already created, so finding one is faster. Most people don’t keep Windows installations handy, so it takes a while to locate the Media Creator online, download the file, and begin the process

Your failure to prepare is Microsoft’s fault.

Or if you are someone like me, who keeps an older build of Windows 10 on a flashdrive, the updates require multiple restarts, before being able to install the Feature Updates. Maybe 8 hours is a stretch, but it certainly feels like it

How is this different than installing from an Ubuntu 20.04 disk? Another failure to prepare.

can’t be done during install like you can with Linux

Sure it can. All you need is an answer file. You can put that on your USB, and it’ll become the default just like Linux. It’s actually significantly easier to customize a windows installer than most Linux installers.

It’s funny you talk about people making shit up when my post is slight satire in response to the pure satire meme. Maybe you should talk to OP instead.

OP seems to understand this community in a way that you don’t. OP is also making legitimate criticisms of some members of the Linux community rather than lies born out of ignorance of the product he is criticizing.

Calling people you don’t like gay as an insult isn’t homophobic?

But as simplistic as it sounds that’s literally the basic argument here.

The basic argument of this conversation, between the two of us, was that you claimed people were censoring you, and I pointed out that making observations or even judgement calls about what you said doesn’t prevent you from saying it. Absolutely no one is stopping you from saying whatever you want. I don’t think anyone even tried to. I sure didn’t.

If you want to turn it into “well I’m gay so I can say homophobic things without judgement, like black people saying the n-word” you’ll have to do it alone because I have no interest in participating in that discussion.

No. “That’s homophobic” and “That’s Spanish” are simply statements of fact. It’s left up to the listener whether they should continue being homophobic or speaking Spanish after it’s been pointed out. It sounds like you’ve chosen to double down on homophobia. Not the choice I’d make, but you do you. Nobodys stopping you. No es mi problema.

I disagree. If someone came up to me and said “Buenos dias! Donde estas el bano?” and I was like “that is Spanish, by the way”, I have simply made an observation and have not implied that they aren’t allowed to speak Spanish.

We here on planet Dirt are bad at naming things

Nobody’s telling you what you can and can’t say. They’re telling you that what you said is in bad taste, and youre telling them to stop saying that.

Leaded (“regular”) gas will destroy a catalytic converter. A car without a cat could usually run leaded or unleaded. Some may knock running unleaded if they’re super old or broken in some way. I believe leaded was usually cheaper.

I wouldn’t try running leaded in a modern engine even if you removed the cats. God knows what else it would screw up.
