  • Your conviction about one possible position being correct has absolutely no bearing on whether or not the conversation should be had. If your position is so concrete, a discussion should be no issue for you, as you can never convince anyone else with a simple “my position is right, everything else is wrong.”

    Edit: that part is phrased awkwardly. What I think I’m trying to get at is that no matter how strong your personal conviction, the conversation still needs to be had, since not everyone agrees with you. Of the people who disagree, yes some are essentially lost causes on that topic, but others can still be convinced. You can’t do that convincing if you always try to just shut down all conversation.






  • This one I can see lasting for a while. With abortion, there’s at least a valid discussion about when existing rights begin to apply to a fetus. Even without the religious angle, there’s some discussion to be had (ie at conception vs at viability vs at birth).

    With same-sex marriage, they would have to justify taking away a right from adult citizens. That’s going to be damn hard to do without resorting to a purely religious angle. I don’t think they are ready to go full on theocracy yet. Maybe during Trump’s third term.












  • I know it’s an LTS version, but 5.15 is not exactly a new kernel release. It’s EOL next year. I’ve been on the 6 series kernel since switching from Windows, and have yet to have anything break on update.

    Edit: also, that kernel release is less than a year after the 6800 xt was released. I’d imagine that newer kernels would have a whole bunch of bug fixes.
