  • Edit: You are using the false dilemma wrongly. Here’s an example of a false dilemma: “Well, we need to be happy. So, do you want consumerism? Or communism? There’s no third option.” We can still find ways to be happy in a bad system, whether or not we engage in politics.

    Original reply: That’s what I’m saying. How would you know the concept of “health” if being unhealthy wasn’t a thing? Same thing with happiness.




  • This is just my 2 cents, but I’d go for the CPU. Reason being you can upgrade RAM later with more sticks. However, it all depends on your use case, as this is the old memory-cpu tradeoff dilemma.

    Want speed? Go for CPU. Want to have many tabs open, or guarantee a program does not crash due to low memory even if it doesn’t run at full steam? Go for memory.

    Many virtual machines open? Definitely memory. Gaming? CPU… most of the times.














  • So, I don’t think it’s ok to be fat phobic. Someone’s personal appearance should not be shamed, just for the heck of it. However, the topic of fat phobia will appear with greater frequency (whether for or against) in political communities. That’s what I’m pointing at.

    And to choose a political community as one’s safe space means that sometimes the conversation will come up, and some people who disagree will show up. I find it rather “safer” to engage in non-political activities and leave all of this discourse somewhere else. As if saying “I’m ok with who I am, so instead of seeking validation online, I will do what I want to do.”.

    If I somehow said fat-phobia is okay, that was not at all my intention, so I apologize for that.




  • What about non political communities? Like memes? Or racing games? I find political communities are very direct in their communication, and the topics are pretty divisive, as such is the nature of political discourse. But sometimes it’s ok to go offline, or to enjoy hobbies. Maybe chess?

    I say this because if you are the kind of person that wants to be offended, there is no easier place to do that then a political community. And too much of a good thing can also be bad, so taking a break is pretty ok.


  • I would say, if you have one such disease or issue, do not self victimize everytime you see a meme like this. Use Occam’s razer instead. What did OP want to mock when he created this meme?

    • People who are fat because they are undisciplined?
    • People with a specific disability?

    If you suffer from this disability but have a head between your shoulders, you probably already know it was not meant for you. But for all others, please try not to misdirect hate where it wasn’t intended.

    Otherwise you risk getting offended at literally everything on the internet.

    Edit: Sorry, OP, I see your point now. Hope you’re cool. <3
