No, you’re not the only one, as I feel exactly tthe same way. Although I felt that it was very important to vote for Trump in the 2024 election over Harris, I did not support him in the primary. I am registered as a Democrat, but if I were Republican, I would have voted for Nikki Haley in the primary.
It’s hard to believe that Trump or Harris were the best America had to offer, but when it came down to it, it made sense to vote for Trump because of his policy positions in general. Regardless of that, he seems to be doing some damage now and is chaotic more than ever before. Still, there are many areas in which I agree with him (which is why I voted for him). I don’t think that everything he does is good or bad, as it is a mixed bag. But from what we read in this coffee room (as well as in the news and online) it would seem that everyone either despises or worships him. And like you said, people who despise him seem to hate everything he does (and don’t give him credit for anything) and people who worship him love (and always justify) everything he does. To me personally that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but many people in this coffee are exactly like that.chessParticipant@ DaasYochid:
“I’m all in favor of subsidized or even free filters.
What I’m against is people feeling they are entitled to it, and using that as an excuse to be on an unfiltered device.”1000% agree.
I doubt I could have put it better than you did.
chessParticipantI agree that internet filters are costly, and also think it would be good if financial assisatance were available for this.
At the same time, a computer needs to be used with a filter and just like you didn’t get financial assistance when buying the computer, you should not expect to get financial assistance (or for free) an internet filter.
You seem to agree that you should not be using a computer without a filter. And yet you sign you name “a bachur with an ulfiltered laptop” which I take that to mean that you use an unfiltered laptop. So why are you not following your values, and using this laptop?
The same way you would not drive a car that has only punctured tires – and you can’t afford new tires, – you should not use a device that doesn’t have a filter on it. -
