Find a different behavior to replace it is the easiest in my experience. But not every apology worthy behavior has an alternative or replacement.

Needs many, many more rocks.

Oh don't get me wrong, I understand the point you're trying to make just fine. It's just a bad argument that falls apart if you aren't entirely privileged and give it more than a cursory, surface level look.

Again, we can't make you see the point if you don't want to.

You appear to be looking to not tell the two apart, and I don't particularly care to go into all the reasons why this mentality is stupid and reductive as hell to the point of being actively poisonous to the ends you're working to achieve. Because I've had this conversation before, and I literally can't make you see the point in looking into the differences when you don't want to. And, imo, that's the exact mentality that got us here, because why bother voting less bad when ThErE's No DiFfErEnCe BeTwEeN tHeM.

Perfect is the enemy of better, and chasing perfection instead of improving things is only going to burn it down. Which is also what a number of people who share your point of view want. And unfortunately, now is the time of monsters.....

Oh wow, so it really is just a speedrun 1920s/30s Germany.

Well, we can't make you see the difference if you don't want to.

I'll take the low energy and working brain over high energy dementia

This really doesn't change much though, the DOE put out the same low confidence theory 2 years ago. The fact that the intelligence agency hasn't reached a better confidence level two years after the energy department said the same thing, that's more like a massive strike against the theory than anything that supports it.

The CIA now believes the virus responsible for the coronavirus pandemic most likely originated from a laboratory, according to an assessment released on Saturday that points the finger at China even while acknowledging that the spy agency has “low confidence” in its own conclusion.

A low confidence finding essentially means the evidence to support that theory is incomplete or questionable.

Aside from the fact that even the CIA doesn't believe this, isn't this the same shit we talked about 2 years ago?

I don't know if it's my phone or my fingers, but I constantly have issues with hitting the *3dot menu when I try to hit the vote buttons.

Oh, and inconsistent back behavior. When opening images, sometimes swiping for back closes the image and returns me to the post list, and sometimes it backs me out of the post list and I can't get back to the listing I had been looking through without reloading.

Damn, and I was just about to break my "have never played Alan wake" streak...
