A small but notable percentage of low income, low education people are just fuckwits who make terrible decisions. They had access to opportunities, they could have overcome their circumstances with just a little effort but smoking cones and stealing shit was less effort so they did that and these people are a comparable drain on society as the uber rich.

It's anything about which people are in denial, be it the need for capitalism, the western role in Ukrain, the environmental impact of a single consumer, the validity of political objectives of the opposition, the impact of immigration, ...

My ultimate opinion is that we need to step back and notice that the denial is built on purpose and that the goal can't be to push for the victory of the own team. There needs to be understanding of the underlying problems that includes the view of the other teams to change the mechanisms that create them.

If we can't do that then all the manipulation is already the best strategy to force humanity into progress.

On toilets with two flush buttons for different flow rates, if there is a larger button and a smaller button (with no other singe), the larger button should correspond to the lower flow rate. Odds are more people are flushing for pee, and don't need the extra flow, and the more common action should be represented by a larger button. For people who are unsure, lazy, or not looking, they're probably pressing the larger button just for pee, and wasting water if that were to correspond to more water usage, which is wasteful.

Linux will never come close to replacing Windows.

I'm sure people didn't think Internet Explorer would be replaced either.

But if your product is dog shit log enough, people will move
