Dairy, by nature of stress-spoiling, is relatively cruelty-free.

Blatant industry lying propaganda horseshit. The meat industry is rife with cruelty, to pretend otherwise is straight up dishonest.

There’s states where the industry even managed to get filming in a factory farm made illegal because they know just how unpleasant the entire operation is.

Your argument essentially boils down to "some animals can take more abuse than others before their bodies break down, therefore if you only eat the more fragile ones it's relatively less cruel, so go ahead and enjoy".

I think it’s even worse; suffering for their leader is how they prove their loyalty. Now they’re even more invested in him than they ever were.

oh look, another votescold so thoroughly convinced that everything would have been fine if only everyone followed their campaign strategy, that they're literally blaming anti-fascists for fascism. How about blaming actual fascists instead?

You don’t even need to bring income into it. Inflation is the whole point of the “things were cheaper in the old days” trope, if you adjust for inflation then all you’re saying is we’ve seen zero progress. Even on its own terms it’s still not a brag.

I don't think it's so much a "policing" thing as a side effect of other platforms whose algorithms will avoid boosting certain sensitive topics. People do stuff like this to bypass it and then other people see it happening and think that's just what you're supposed to do.

I don’t actually regret that it worked.

Are you sure though? What actual good did it do in the end; did it result in you doing anything of value or changing your mind on some topic? Or did it just make you a bit angry for a while before going about the rest of your day? (I'm not having a go at you by the way, it's the bait I'm irritated at)

It was marketed for PS2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_for_PlayStation_2

The PS3 could run Linux initially, but Sony remotely disabled it on account of being a shower of cunts, resulting in a bunch of lawsuits (which even more cuntingly they paid out on, sooner than re-enable Linux).

That said I think you may be talking slightly at cross purposes; the ability to run Linux isn’t tied to processor architecture, and doesn’t mean anything in terms of what the PS3 was like to develop for as a professional game studio.

In certain Austroasiatic languages, your wrists and ankles are your hand-necks and foot-necks.

As the party fielded more and more candidates who championed economic-right policies in order to attract corporate donations, the idea of "purity testing" was turned into a stock phrase to attack critics using labels, instead of justifying it on its own terms.

Phrases like "moral purity" now serve two functions: firstly, to dismiss criticisms from the Left wholesale without having to discuss them directly, and secondly, to blame them for the rise of fascism.

In theory it was also supposed to serve a third function of bullying the Left into voting Democrat, but that didn't work.
