I think I’m correctly interpreting the effective meaning of the comic. The effective meaning takes precedent over the intended meaning. Now that you know my view, do you think everyone’s response to my take is justified? It’s pretty demoralizing how readily everyone assumes the least charitable interpretation of my words when there is any level of ambiguity. Nobody ever asks me to clarify. It’s just a fucking dogpile right out the gate because this whole charade of “discourse” is a dopamine-seeking frenzy dressed up as intellectualism.
My point is that I find it disgusting how society doesn’t seem to give a shit about homeless men but they do care about homeless women and children. Homeless women and children seem to be the main focus for most people seeing as there are so many more resources only available to homeless women and children than there are to homeless men despite the fact that the VAST majority are adult men. Society has a sickening lack of sympathy for homeless men, to the point where you can’t get some people to care about the homelessness crisis in the slightest until you inform them that some homeless people are women and children. This comic is a demonstration of that phenomenon. The comic essentially says “actually, you should care about homelessness because they aren’t all just men”
Christ, you actually can’t find a way to communicate without patronizing. I literally do not care what you have to say about my character or personality or whatever, it’s got very little to do with the actual substance of my comment.
I meant your actual point. I’m skipping the dumb internet fight bits. The third sentence in your message. Who said anything about “taking advantage of the system” because I surely did not.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m not sure what your point is. Can you rephrase and/or elaborate please?
Just what you to know that not everything is a personal attack directly at you.
Surely you can find a way to communicate this without being patronizing…
Just install linux and change your gtk/qt theme. It’s that easy.
Honestly this cartoon fucking sucks. Something like 80% of homeless people are adult men like the first panel. The three other panels essentially serve the message “Did you know some homeless people are women and children??? Do you care NOW?”
well, my last girlfriend was jewish.
You got it boss
I stand firmly on the side of not stifling hateful use of “Jew” to avoid the risk of stifling regular use of it. They can’t make the correct descriptor of my identity into a derogatory word. I won’t let them.
Judaism and vampirism have a lot in common.
When you factor in the blood libel, the connection goes even deeper.
Jew is the correct word to refer to a member of the Jewish faith. I don’t think anyone would suggest that it was derogatory unless they themselves were hateful toward Jews. It’s kind of like how people who hate Americans use the term “Americans” hatefully.
Makes me sad to see people acting like the simple act of saying “Jews” is offensive. We survived thousands of years of persecution, the fucking holocaust, and you think this is where we draw the line? Come the fuck on lol.
You know intelligence isn’t the only merit, right?
This is a really bad coping mechanism to rationalize failing to develop important skills and to justify giving up. We have at least 200 more years of misery in store before it’s all over, in my opinion.
I’m honestly shocked that nobody has mentioned mesh networks. It might also just scan for any unsecured network it can connect to without informing you in any way. Not connecting your TV to your WiFi is not nearly enough to preventing it from phoning home. You need to open the TV and ground the antenna(e) to physically disable the wireless capabilities. Even then, there may be other antennae hidden under or inside components you can’t disassemble.
Short answer: No. Your smart TV is smarter than you are.
