Lmfao, bruh, name a way in which it’s better than the Windows dock or shut up. Jesus fucking Christ, not everything is subjective, and owning a Mac doesn’t mean you need to run out and defend every single fucking decision they’ve ever made.

When one thing does everything the other thing does, plus can do more, it might be objectively better.

Because again, you make Linux behave exactly the same as MavOS, so your claim that you think the MacOS dock is better than linuxes already shows that you’re not arguing from a logical place, just blindly defending tim apple.

I listed objective UX shortcomings with it.

I’m open to being convinced that you honestly think it’s better than the Windows one, if you can explain why.

Otherwise this sounds like reflexive defensiveness.

On Linux especially you can customize a dock to behave literally exactly the same way as Mac, so it’s honestly kind of nonsense to say that you prefer Mac’s way.

It takes up as much screen space as the Windows taskbar while doing a fraction as much.

In windows that same screen spaces acts an application launcher / switcher, but also an individual window launcher / switcher, and a clock, utility, and notification space.

Mac smears half of those into a fully separate system bar that takes up even more space.

It’s not a mac vs anyone thing, it’s not a mac way of doing things, it’s not like if they had a better dock the whole OS would have to change or fall apart, it’s simply just a badly designed dock / taskbar.

Nope, they have not. It’s honestly a terrible OS.

The problem is that it specifies both a purpose

• To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts

and a mechanism by which to do so

• by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

The purpose is great, the mechanism is dogshit in the 21st century, as it just lazily crams information into capitalism rather than adapting capitalism to the realities of information.

The problem is that capitalism is a system entirely based around things that are scarce, and it only functions in that context. Air for instance is completely free and valueless, even though it’s wildly critical, just because it is abundant. In capitalism things don’t have value when they are useful or needed, just when they are scarce.

That works fine-ish when you mostly deal in physical goods, because the way that energy and mass scale means that they are somewhat inherently scarce, it takes just as much mass/energy to make a second copy as the first. Information blows this apart though, starting with the written word, escalating with the printing press, and being oblitered in the digital connected age, as information does not scale like energy / mass and as a result it has become trivial to infinitely copy and distribute information, making it abundant the moment it’s digitized.

So now you have the Constitution enshrining mechanisms that enforce scarcity where there is absolutely no need for scarcity.

I have to use Mac’s for work now and I will never understand how in 2026, they still insist on having both a dock and a system menu bar.

Like guys, it’s 2026, you can do all the OS stuff in one space, and leave the rest of the screen open for application stuff.

What exactly did I say write that you took as an assumption about your coworkers?

I responded to points you made.

You categorized me as similar to other people you’ve disagreed with in the past, literally stopped reading, and dismissed all the points I made without engaging with them in any way shape or form.

If you’re being sincere about wanting a good fatih discussion, then go outside, give your head a shake, and then come back and engage in discussion of any of the points at hand.

Otherwise, stfu troll.

Hey everyone check out this guy!

He posted a question on a discussion forum, but he’s soooo informed that he can’t even read three paragraphs of the only response before writing it off as “reactionary feminist”, and thus obviously not worth even worth thinking about or considering for a moment.

But can we all please focus back on the real issue: why no feminists will listen to him??

It’S sO. cOnFuSiNg!

🤡🤡🤡

Lmfao bro, I think it’s pretty clear that the only problem is with your social skills.

1. first of all :

The wage gap is just a way to get us all snapping at each other instead of the rich.

You shouldn’t be snapping at anyone about the wage gap. The wage gap is one of many areas that women have it harder than men, it exists, and there’s nothing to snap about.

If someone is delusional and applying it to a situation it doesn’t apply, then usually that person isl internally just making excuses and if they didn’t latch onto the wage gap, they’d latch onto something else.

the women got paid more, because they took the jobs more seriously and called off less

What you’re describing is not women getting paid more. That’s women working more and getting paid the same amount per amount of effort put in, if not less.

The worst is any talk of high paying jobs, like I’m sorry, but how am I supposed to care if a woman is getting paid multiple thousands of dollars less than her associates when the rest of us can’t pay rent? Oh boohoo, you can’t afford a third car, when I and the woman who makes 50 cents less than me can’t afford rent, food, or medical care.

Boo hoo your fucking self. Oh poor you, you’re the only poor person to ever exist. That totally means it’s ok for you to not have empathy for any human in a slightly different situation then you.

Like Jesus fuck, your goal is not to be poor, but at the same time you don’t think it’s important for the systems governing those who aren’t poor to be, at a baseline, fair? Do you understand how fucking asinine and self defeating that is?

The world is not binary, and nothing is a dichotomy. When people divide things into chunk A and chunk B and put everything into those two chunks they are always wrong. There is still a gradient of wealth and jobs and opportunity and it is still a massive fucking problem that female mid level managers at a company is getting paid less than her male equivalent, even if she has the gall to make $120k a year.

representation still matters, even in ultra wealthy situations. You don’t stop facing misogyny or dealing with it just because you’re rich, and tolerating it anywhere is sanctioning it everywhere.

They are literal bodybuilders and that is obvious to everyone who looks at them.

What the fuck kind of proof are you expecting? A a video diary of every meal ever consumed?

Exercising is the easy part of body building. Eating and sleeping well enough is the hard part.

Lmfao, no they didn’t, you misunderstood the difference in recommended intakes for maintenance (/kg) vs gaining muscle / slowing it’s atrophy in old age (/lb).

1lb of LEAN body mass is still a shit ton of protein to have to try and squeeze in. For your average adult man that’s the equivalent of 5-7 scoops of protein powder, or like ~1.5lb of chicken breast, every single day.

You’re not getting that unless you’re going out of your way to.

But dumbasses think protein is only in meat. Internet thinks protein = meat.

No, the vast majority of bodybuilders and gym bros use whey protein powder which is dairy based.

Also, if we’re talking normal food, you have to eat 6 full cans of beans to get the same protein as 1lb of chicken or fish. Meat is not the only way to get protein but the fact of the matter is that for most people (assuming they ignore the morals and ethics) it’s gonna be easier and tastier to get a substantial amount of protein from meat.

And let’s just ignore colon cancer rates in <30 coincident with the protein fad.

Lmfao thanks random internet person for your rough feeling of correlation. Glad no actual researcher would have ever possibly thought to check that in their study! /S

Lmfao at this whole thread of nonsense answers.

It’s not a weird obsession.

If you want to be muscular, then you need to eat a lot of protein.

If you want to be muscular and have a low body fat percentage, then you need to eat a lot of protein, and eat a lot of protein / calorie you eat.

If you’re old and want to slow down how quickly your muscles waste away to maintain your physical health, you need to eat a lot of protein.

And protein is generally one of the more expensive parts of food, so companies constantly try and cut back and replace it with carbs and sugar instead… All leading to people seeking out food with high protein content

That’s how much you need to eat when you’re trying to actively gain muscle, not just maintain your current amount.

And quite frankly, either put on that much muscle or kindly accept that they may have a point.

Its not because of obsession, it’s because it’s literally the starting point for nutrition knowledge, and it’s the most obvious thing that would be lacking in a vegan diet. When people think substantial protein they think meat first and dairy and eggs second.

This is horseshit that should be deleted. Some VC billionaire is funding a campaign to make everyone hate social security so they can privatize it.
