Brother laser printers, higher upfront cost but I don’t think I’ll ever need another. I don’t print frequently so inkjet carts dry up, toner doesn’t have that issue, toner also lasts longer, whenever I have to replace it I’m pretty sure they have 3rd party carts, and they don’t do any subscription bullshit or planned obsolescence so far that I’ve seen. Easy to set up on linux through CUPS and the official brother .rpm or .deb drivers. Cannot recommend them enough as someone who also hates all other printers.

Oh ok so only if I have a peer reviewed case, not if it actually affected me, how’d I know that’d be your lame excuse.

I hope you show a kid those pics and they ask for copies for later, then it’ll get weird for ya.

Ok, I was personally hurt by it happening to me. Now what’s your excuse?

My case isn’t an exception, it happens more frequently then you’d like to believe and is seldom reported to another human much less law enforcement because men get laughed out of police stations and made fun of by friends. All the worse if the woman is conventionally attractive. In many localities the legal definition of rape is even phrased as “requiring penetration,” meaning in many areas (most of the US and iirc all of the UK included, plus more) women can’t get charged with rape they can only get charged with “sexual assault” at worst. There are many resources for woman victims but not one for male victims, males are not welcome in the women’s groups. Most people you talk to about it just want to tell you some variation of “I pretend I care about male victims but here’s why women are more important than you.”

It happened years ago and I’ve learned to live with it now, I don’t need pity. I need people to stop invalidating male victims, pretending they don’t exist, pretending we don’t matter due to volume, etc, to help the ones it happens to now. Fuck me I’m fine now, but whatever dude it happens to today somewhere out there in the world could use some help.

Also traditions that, despite someone else’s claim, probably don’t cause any psychological harm, at least most of the time.

Actually you asked for nothing, you made a whole lot of assumptions instead. And

evidence that it hurts anyone

Here again you invalidate the feelings of those telling you with their own words that they don’t like it. The evidence they don’t like it is them telling you they don’t like it, you don’t need a scientific paper to corroborate that some people find it objectionable, you just dismiss them because you want to partake in the behavior they find objectionable.

I think you may be surprised and hopefully disturbed by this UNICEF article.

Despite a steady decline in this harmful practice over the past decade, child marriage remains widespread, with approximately one in five girls married in childhood across the globe. Today, multiple crises – including conflict, climate shocks and the ongoing fallout from COVID-19 – are threatening to reverse progress towards eliminating this human rights violation. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals call for global action to end child marriage by 2030.

So no, it was not “a long time ago.” It’s “hopefully by 2030.”

Also traditions that, despite someone else’s claim, probably don’t cause any psychological harm, at least most of the time.

Oh, so as long as you don’t believe the person and can therefore invalidate their feelings without guilt, and it only psychologically hurts “some” people who you I suppose arbitrarily believe over the ones you don’t, it’s fine?

Not sure I can agree with you on this one.

As a male victim of TWO count 'em TWO sexual assaults perpetrated by TWO count em TWO different women, “fuck me, I don’t matter.”

You gonna bring up that I “obviously wanted it because I’m a man” next? Go ahead and block me for downvoting both that comment and yours, make my lemmy a better place.

Because the overwheling majority of sexual assault convictions are of men. It’s true.

OHHH because the women who sexually assaulted me didn’t get convicted in a court of law, because I didn’t report them, because nobody cares about male victims, we should use that to further invalidate the experiences of future male victims? My mistake, how silly of me.

Tbf child marriage is also traditional, Muhammed had a 9yo bride (it’s “ok,” he didn’t have sex with her until she was 11.)

Defending things based solely on tradition can get pretty weird sometimes.

And Killzone 3; and Jenovah Chen’s Flower, Fl0w, and Journey; and Uncharted.

I know I’m forgetting a few but either way there weren’t many.

Dude don’t trash it, give it to some kid that may appreciate it, or sell/donate it to a thrift store at the very least. It may not be the best guitar but it’s in fine shape, and you could change the life of some kid too poor to afford his own.

That said, chords are easier than arpeggios, idk what kind of music you’re into but I’d start (well, “start” with learning the chords, then) with something like Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here or The Penguins Earth Angel (for example.)

Caesar no!

You’d think it’d make them do the opposite, idk about you but I’d be more scared of that guy than regular troops and I’d be gunning for him. “He’s clearly crazy, lord knows what he’ll do.”

Alpine.

Under, 'cause cat.

I just tell them to google first thing to do after installing Fedora and say “follow the guide except ‘fastest mirror’ just ignore.” Hasn’t failed anyone yet, and since I didn’t have anyone to help me it is what I did when I was new, except I’ve learned the fastest mirror part since then, so I pass along that knowledge.

Actually I think I may try and write up a script that’ll do all this for them, and make it even easier. I already have like half of it in my “new install” script but they don’t need all my packages.

I do recommend Fedora. It’s what I started on (besides tails) and after a couple years I’ve moved to FedoraKDE.

Coulda went with murder trains or something less racist, really. Pretty fucked up dude.

Suuuree suuure which evil fascist dictator did it is really the point, ignore the “fascist” bit, that’s in the past, and ignore the “current” bit too because that would be admitting you have a problem and you can’t do that, you have to pretend you’re perfect, because you have nothing going for you other than white aryan Europeen “supremacy.”

You’re a reactionary, nationalistic, delusional, and seemingly racist person, seek help.

Whoops my bad, that was Mussolini, Italy is in the EU too though and so was Franco’s Spain. I hear they still have a problem with fascists too, weird trend developing here. Btw fucking wild you’d say “animal trains,” of course they also compared Jewish people to animals so I shouldn’t be surprised, I guess that’s why you’re brushing the whole current nazi problem aside.

And wait I thought we could only talk shit and pretend our countries are the best, which the US is and it’s perfect, there are no problems. (That’s you, that’s what you sound like.)
