    IIRC, the windows version of this is a setting where you can hit CTRL and it makes a moderately large circle that contracts towards the pointer. It’s been in since at least W7/Vista, possibly XP. I’ve used it on and off for years (especially with 3 27" monitors) because of how easy it is to lose the cursor.







  • which some equate with murder.

    I’ve never understood that mentality. If we see an animal suffering, we treat them humanely and help them pass to get them out of pain and end their suffering. But with people, you’re forced to hold out to the very end no matter how much pain you’re in or how much you’re suffering.

    If someone is suffering or has a terminal disease and wants to end it all, they should be able to do so in a way that is as painless and comfortable for them as possible.


  • The “War on drugs” has been a colossal failure.

    That’s only true if you believe the lies that the “war on drugs” was actually about drugs. It never has been, it was always about having an excuse to incarcerate and beat down groups they didn’t like; minorities, the poor, and the left.

    When you look at it that way, it’s obvious that the war on drugs is actually a really successful means to an end. Just try not to have a heart and think of the countless lives they ruined to keep a boot on peoples’ neck.




  • If you think curating what is allowed on a website is fascism, no one should listen to you at all because you clearly are talking about things you don’t understand.

    The world many people seem to be advocating for here doesn’t honestly seem that much different from one led by nazies.

    This is the absolute stupidest take I have ever seen. Read a goddamned book (or, actually understand what Nazis stand for) before you comment on things…

    They just replace jews and gays with other groups of people they don’t like.

    “Censorship and murdering entire classes of people are the same thing”










  • Jumping a turnstile and taking a physical, actually scarce resource is not comparable to duplicating a digital, artificially scarce resource.

    The train requires ongoing maintenance and can only hold a finite amount of people. Taking the train seat for free takes away something from another person. Downloading media does not use any ongoing resources, and does not take anything away from another consumer.

    Comparing the morality of physical goods to digital goods are not really a good comparison specifically because of the artificial scarcity brought on by making something digital to try to make it more expensive doesn’t map to the real scarcity of physical goods.
