Damn, you must be so incredibly miserable. I hope you find some happiness in your life at some point.
I don't get what's miserable or unhappy about criticizing the political incoherence of some people. You may disagree with them, but why the personal attacks?
He doesn't realize how this behaviour validates my point.

Just because something has been done for a long time doesn't mean it's good. We also shouldn't confuse self-mutilation with healthy activities like exercising simply because both "shape one's own body".
Tattoos are self-mutilation the same way that taxes are theft. This is the worst argument in the world [1] -[1] https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/yCWPkLi8wJvewPbEp/the-noncen...

I'm sorry, what's the offending article here, calling them an American Conservative or a Christo-fascist?

It’s now misogynistic and repulsive to self-determination to and social equity to let women have maternity leave and spend time with their children? You American tech bros are absolute ghouls.
Ohhh, you thought our objection to your regressive nonsense was an objection to parental leave? That's... no.
So you admit that you are just making things up to be angry about.
My laptop has stickers, one of which is a photo of my previous laptop and its stickers. One of those is a photo of the laptop before that…

But why so many stickers? Why so many tattoos? Why not pick one you very much like and agree with? Less noise. More signal. Less is more. I don't like many of the ones mentioned on this website but here are some minimalist examples [1] [2] [3] [4] and an exception I do like a bit because of the custom shape [5]. [1] is more like a skin. [1] https://stickertop.art/content/images/2025/11/20250221_00333... [2] https://s…

I basically never applied a sticker to any laptop I owned until I got a Framework. Just hoarded them like a dragon sitting on his pile of sticker-gold. Finally figured hey, I might have this laptop more than a single upgrade cycle... it's worth burning a weird sticker or two. I still try and buck the trend a little--instead of advertising technologies or something, my general goal is that, at first glance, nobody wou…
I haven't tried putting any on my Framework 12 yet, because the ABS has this sort of rough texture that's very soft and pleasant to touch but seems like it wouldn't hold stickers well long-term. I've been putting mine on retro machines instead, like on my 900MHz HITACHI (actually Acer OEM) PⅢ: https://stickertop.art/content/images/2025/11/GWgVHXHaoAIPiB... These days I also flatbed-scan any rare stickers before using…
I've got the FW16 and have been very happy with it, but the portability isn't great given the size. No regrets given it was and always will spend 90% of its time on a desk.
I've been considering the FW12 as something more like a souped up tablet I could toss around the house, do some quick sketching on, etc.

Why would you assume that someone who specifically mentioned "self-determination, social equity, liberty, and nonaggression" was advocating for "keeping women chained to their desks and away from children" through a lack of parental leave?
