I don’t mean to diminish the larger point you’re making about feminism not having middle ground, but from an interface design perspective, a dial very much implies a continuum of settings. When there isn’t middle ground, the interface should be a toggle switch instead.

Of course this is art, not a real device, so obviously a dial is appropriate because it’s a response to being told to “dial down,” not “switch off.”

(I almost feel like there could’ve been something different about the way the dial was depicted – maybe with a range with “raging feminist” next to “complicit” and something more extreme above it, or maybe indeed using a toggle instead of a dial – in order to emphasize that “raging feminist” already is as “dialed down” as you could reasonably ask for, but such UI realism would probably just clutter up the design without improving the message. As art, I think the artist got it right as-is.)

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” ― George Bernard Shaw

Yeah, I would only do this if I lived alone or only with other males and had no SO/post-puberty daughters/close female friends.

There’s no checks and balances left,

There is one left, but we’re not allowed to talk about it.

Exactly what? Be specific.

Man, you’ll really say anything to avoid admitting that progressives win elections, won’t you?

Not to mention, it’s easy to say that before Inauguration Day. None of Trump’s tyranny has had a chance to happen yet.

And I didn’t (I voted for Harris, and also kept my mouth shut about her sprint to the right, like a good little Democrat, until after the election).

So you can take that accusation and fuck all the way off with it.

I share your opinion. When I bought my house, ripping out the garbage disposal and putting in a normal drain was one of the first things I did.

I’m really sick and tired of head-in-the-sand liberals pushing us over the cliff to fascism and then having the utter fucking gall to try to gaslight us that it’s our fault, not theirs.

they’re hardly mass appeal popular.

100% propaganda pushed by the capitalist (and therefore anti-populist) mass media.

And for those who are still confused: Bernie and Trump are both populists, but Trump is also a demagogue and that’s what’s a bad thing.

No, this is concrete. Gold would’ve been even heavier.

Putin and the Saudis

So what you’re saying is, RandomStickman’s “[Trump is] backed by literally the richest man on Earth” claim is true after all.

Democrats can’t conceive of adapting to the fact that the norms and process are broken because process is all they have.

Frankly, it’s yet another reason the Democratic Party has proven to be unsalvageable.

Yes.

Not only can people be pretty dumb sometimes, once the screenshot is on the Internet, who knows where it might get reposted, potentially without context.

You should censor the scam bitcoin address when you screenshot things like this.

I’m both used CAD software professionally to do engineering and developed CAD software professionally, and TBH I, too, find FreeCAD difficult to use.

(I haven’t tried the latest versions that are supposed to be better yet, though.)

The lesson of RBG is that people in their 80s with cancer don’t have great life expectancy.

That lesson does not apply to Sotomayor, who is 70 and (AFAIK) healthy.

I wasn’t thinking of trying to regulate down the power on the heat gun itself, I was thinking of cycling it on and off (or cycling between heat and fan-only mode) to maintain thermostatic control of the temperature in the box.
