Ah right, good point. Perhaps the cost calculations work differently then. Consoles are much cheaper to buy than PCs because the manufacturers expect to make money on their subscription services. I'm pretty sure neither Microsoft nor Sony make any profit on selling the hardware, but they have to make profit somewhere.

Yup, and whether the modem on the other side was able to reach the same data rate as well.

Yeah unless you can explain WHY it's a fallacy, that's just your opinion.

[-] FrenLivesMatter@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

Simply calling something a fallacy doesn't make it one.

[-] FrenLivesMatter@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

My bad. I fixed it.

Capitalism is when no teeth.

Bro, you sure it isn't meth that's to blame for this?

As a Christian, I agree with this idea and I also find the proposed law rather silly because it's the same kind of virtue signaling that conservatives love to accuse liberals of.

What I don't understand is why the article considers this "standing up for LGBT+ rights". Can anyone help me with that?

violence isn't part of democracy itself.

That’s where you wrong, because violence IS part of democracy, since the majority gets to inflict its will on the minority (or at least choose representatives who will do so on their behalf) via the use of the police, who are authorized to use any violence necessary in order to get people to comply with the laws.

If communism doesn’t have any plans for achieving their goals without the use of police (or violent enforcers by any other name), then it stands to reason that it will just be violence-based as that which is it seeks to replace, and therefore just as prone to causing inequality among people, regardless of its intentions.

As I said before, violence will never lead to peace, at best you will get a temporary truce whenever people are tired of fighting. But it will always be prone to erupt again. That’s why I don’t support communism. And yes, I don’t support democracy, monarchy, or dictatorship either, for the same reason.

And which rule do you reckon I broke?

Well I'm glad we can at least agree that genocide isn't ideal and generally a suboptimal way to solve any problems.
