I have a old gaming laptop that is not supported.
Intel i7-7820HK, 4cores 8 threads 2.9Ghz.
Released in 2017.
That’s not old-arse as far as I’m concerned, and I don’t see the need for an upgrade. I’m going to install Linux on this PC because I have the know-how and desire to check out how electron fares. But I can see how that is not an option for everyone.
An article of clothing can’t be religious on its own
Really? What about a kippa ? Or a priest’s robes ?
The kippa is forbidden in french schools for this very same reason, it signals religion.
Loose fitting dresses are not forbidden, abayas are. They are a specific kind of loose fitting dresses. One that signals religion.
I don’t see them working as a fashion article, but that may just be my taste.
I disagree, the Abaya is not just a flowing robe.
It is a garment that is required by the Sharia law (see Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries where women are not allowed to choose what they wear).
Allowing this is the first step in letting religion in the public schools in France, where it has always been explicitly banned.
And it is very unlike banning rainbows, those are a symbol used to promote acceptance of the diversity of others, something religions struggle with (ever notice how religion is closely tied with extremism?)
Another factor to take into account is that these young girl may be forced by their family to wear such a garment, imposing upon them something they may not be old enough to refuse.
Also, look up the paradox of intolerance, as allowing anyone to do as they please causes the rise of extremism.
Funny thing is, the way this is phrased seems to me the person complaining is part of the issue.
The complete and absolute refusal that something is someone good may lie in the whole of the Trump administration is part of the issue. The extreme polarisation of dems vs reps is part of the issue, and the exact reason some voted trump, because, well, at least he’s red.
Not understanding that someone may recognize this, and speaking out about anyone who does, leads to more polarisation.
And what happens with enough division ? What is to be gained to spew hatred on your fellow countrymen ?
If you really think your opinion is superior, don’t yell at others, explain and share. Don’t judge hastily.
In this post I don’t see the proton CEO as a MAGA supporter, I see someone who recognizes something good in a context that cannot be changed. (Like it or not, Trump won and will be president legally for the next 4 years).
