    Just give your money to queer people instead. It's easy and does more to support the community than giving your money to, say, Disney, who from what I can tell is pocketing all profits made from their LGBTQ+ merch.
     
    And also censors their 17th "first gay character" in international markets.

    The biggest problem with rainbow capitalism is that it's only performative at best. What I mean by that is they just slap rainbows onto things to make it look like they care, but then in the background they continue to donate to anti-LGBT groups and politicians. Their "support" is just an empty veil and is virtually meaningless.
     
    But at the same time, it makes LGBTphobes unreasonably angry that the cereal box has spaces for pronouns on the side so ayy lmao

    The pandemic might stop us from taking to the streets, but Pride goes much further than that and the cause of LGTBQIA+ awareness and equal rights never dies. You can make a difference from your couch with one hand on your phone and another hand holding a milkshake. Not even kidding lol

    Name these features aside from something that won't impact most people who want to buy these cards. Oh don't worry, I know about the scalpers too. Miners aren't helping the situation either. Did you know that miners are hogging up entire production lines with custom hardware so they can feel like they're getting rich through their unstable, useless currencies? Gee, I wonder what else could be made on those production lines, and who's giving scalpers more chances to take advantage of stock shortages...

    Brass plates are best paired with tactile switches, so like Zealios, NK Blueberries or Kailh Box Royals to name a few.
     
    Basically, plate types matter to a degree when choosing switch type. Typists who prefer linear switches prefer a softer plate, so aluminum, whereas tactile users prefer harder plates like brass or copper. If you care about sound, I'd suggest looking into lubing stabilizers and switches, as well as bandaid modding.

    I'm against mining because of the ecological cost, as well as its extreme instability and uselessness for actual purchases of things. Maybe if mining didn't take up more energy than an entire country while pumping the equivalent of 75 years of an average EU citizen's CO2 all at once into the atmosphere or it wasn't so unstable a single person could wipe billions in seconds just by being an unfunny jackass on Twitter (or SNL) I wouldn't be so against it, but that's the way how things be.

    Good news, TaeKeyboards has a video like that.
     
     
    Although, this is for a 60% board. If you want a TKL, you're more limited to prebuilts with hotswap sockets rather than being able to buy an entire kit and assembling it yourself, but the Glorious GMMK TKL, Drop Ctrl, Keychron K8 and Tecware Phantom are all decent options.

    He's just a guy who was born to a family that got rich through apartheid-era emerald mines in South Africa. The only way how he's a "genius" is by figuring out how to exploit and manipulate others, since that's all he's ever known.

    Chromebook sales picked up a lot during lockdown. 2020 was the first year that Chromebooks outsold Macs, for that matter. Doesn't seem like the need for Chromebooks diminished quite a lot, especially since the sales data shows the opposite happening.

    I think that Microsoft needs to realize that they can't separate Windows from Win32, or many other legacy components. Without it, Windows won't sell, as they've seen four... five times already. They can't make Windows into a combined mobile/desktop operating system. They can't rely on brand recognition to sell either.
     
    There's a reason why Google and Apple offer separately branded desktop/laptop and mobile operating systems. Because trying to combine the two just doesn't work.

    Hot take:

    Cherry MX Browns are okay. They're not the best switch and by far not the best tactile switch (what is is entirely subjective!) but if you're not sure what to expect then they're okay.

    To be fair, you don't really hear a lot about trans men and transmascs compared to trans women and transfemmes.
     
    I know multiple trans girls but only a couple trans men, just to put things into perspective.

    The entire concept of gender not being a binary thing or that sex and gender aren't the same thing isn't a new thing. Many indigenous cultures around the world recognized the existence of three or more genders, including many Native American cultures here in the US, as well as in other places like India.
     
    A lot of that got destroyed when the Christians and Catholics came in and pushed what their god said is true onto people not wanting to be assimilated into this foreign belief system, but a lot of it also survived.
