Unironically me as an IT professional who uses Windows. It just works. I have to fuck around with all that shit all day, I don’t want to go home and do it too.
Oh, I actually meant Windows at home. Windows at work is definitely problematic.
But at home, for my own stuff, Windows just works, with zero setup or maintenance hassle. I used to do the whole Linux thing, had set up dual boot (again for games that only work on Windows ) it was not only not fun, what was I getting out of it? I found myself not even booting to Linux because it literally was not providing me with anything I needed.
Productive rich people like creatives are not the problem unless they do problematic things. Billionaires are always a problem and are exploitative by their very nature.
I’m one of those. I don’t know if you realize or not, but there are a stupid number of examples of rich people commiting rather horrible crimes and never seeing jail.
I’m absolutely all for Trump facing consequences. But I’ll believe it when I see it. This country is made for the rich.
You can make this law work by putting requirements on it, such as to an audience or whatever. And then it’s no different than being charged for shouting bomb or fire. Two lies you CAN be charged for.
A lot of people swear by this whole “death of the author” philosophy because it let’s them ignore the literal stated intent of the author in favor of whatever pet theory they have. Which is fine, but you can’t use it in a debate about theories about the work. There isn’t a right answer to what you want to believe, but there often IS a right answer to what the actual author actually intended, especially modern authors in the age of information.
People like this love when their elitist or exclusionary opinions are countered by the masses. Just makes them feel even better. Source, I was one of them in my younger days.

Ever since I started riding (motorcycles) I don’t even really notice it anymore. Anything less hot than “armored jacket and helmet under the sun” just doesn’t register as hot anymore
Goths mocking emos always made me laugh. Which is itself a third layer of comedy because I was supposedly an old school punk but really just another kid with a funny 'do (green mohawk…which I still hold as the most righteous hairstyle known to man, however)
