I don't hold public office. Don't fret about my beliefs, they probably won't ever affect you.
- - Affirmative action - very necessary. As it is, it's flawed, but it's sure as hell better than nothing at all. If you have serious problems with it you might be part of the reason it's needed.
- Anarchism - I don't understand it but it seems pretty cool.
- Baloney - spelled "baloney".
- - Bisexuality - twice as cool.

main is easier to type than master.

- - Linux distros
- - Arch - very good but has systemd. Great for personal computers, if you're a developer.
- - Artix - an excellent increment of Arch.
- - Debian - good, but it has systemd. Great for servers.
- - Damn Small Linux - more of a historical curiousity nowadays but still neat.
- - Mint - very nice for basic users. I would use Debian instead but Mint is special and I agree with many of the decisions around it.
- - Ubuntu - bad. Operated by a for-profit company. Uses systemd and snapd. Mint is a better replacement.

- - Monarchy - I'm in favor of public execution of all remaining monarchs.
+ - Monarchy - TODO: end it.
- Necroposting - good actually. If I have the same problem as another forum poster I want the previous knowledge gleaned in the same thread. It also makes it easier to reference in the future.

- Propaganda - I used to make some. It's good when I agree with it.
- - "Proud Boys" - cowards, and pathetic ones at that. They should leave terrorism to incels.

- - Stallman is on my shitlist.
- - Richard Stallman's acts are nearly always in good faith, despite some things he's said being concerning.
- - The open letter calling for the removal of the entire Board of the Free Software Foundation
- - The letter has many strong points regarding things Stallman has stated in the past.
- - The argument that Stallman is transphobic is so obviously invalid I don't believe it's made in good faith.
- - The core of this argument is that Stallman's belief that "they" is a plural pronoun is transphobic. While the idea that "they" is exclusively plural is incorrect and frequently used by transphobes, Stallman instead uses alternative singular gender-neutral pronouns.
- - From the GNU Kind Communications guidelines, mirrored 2018: "Please think about how to treat other participants with respect, especially when you disagree with them. For instance, call them by the names they use, and honor their preferences about their gender identity." This article is cited in the letter's appendix as proof Stallman is transphobic.

- - I have submitted a pull request to sign the letter in support of Stallman. His achievements have earned him a place on the board of directors.

- Nobody will get on board with this but maybe we could mark dates from the Unix epoch? Just a thought.
- Unions - very cool but I'd rather work a non-union job than be unemployed. And I'll say what I mean - I like unions but I'm too much of a wimp to put myself on the line for them.
- - USA political parties
- - The Democratic Party of America - sucks because they're Capitalist.
- - The Green Party of America - seems nice but the behavior of the Georgian Green Party deeply concerns me.
- - The Libertarian Party of America - I like it because it amuses me but it sucks because it's Capitalist.
- - The Nazi Party of America - it brings me slight relief that because this party was dissolved in 1983 most of its former members are probably dead.
- - The Republican Party of America - sucks because they're Capitalist.

- Weezer - great band.
- Weezer (the blue album) - equally as good as Pinkerton.
