I don’t have any statistic, but I would guess that the proportion of people wanting a Jack is significantly higher in the group of people interested in buying Fairphone that on the general population.

Fairphone literally does have that statistic. They spent effort to gather that info in order to inform their business decisions. And they report:

We also looked into the consumer data and Fairphone 4’s weight and thickness were more of an issue than the lack of a minijack

I don't understand this, why not call him the way he wants to be called ? He's despicable but his name isn't the problem, I don't see how calling him Bowman (or calling Donald "Drumpf") is making any progress.

And it kind of undermines the discourse that we should respect people's choice as to how they define themselves.

When France turned into a republic it had been a monarchy for more than a millenium, yet it did happen. Historical precedent can only tell you so much.

What you're saying plays right into Russian state propaganda that says their culture requires a strong leader and dedication to a common propose as opposed to Western individualism. In truth, Russian liberalization is possible, but it will be much harder if the west does not extend their hand.

Do you remember the time Marco Rubio repeated the same thing twice during a presidential debate ? His speech included calling the US "the greatest nation in the history of the world" but no one minded that.

In most countries you would be ridiculed for saying something like that, but from what I understand Americans are taught that their country is the best in basically everything and they are very lucky to be born there because every other place is worse off.

The American military doesn't train to put on parade theatre for a despot. No high stepping, no elaborate formations or movements. None of that pointless bullshi

Marines doing the silent drill in dress uniform : 👀

I'm unsure I get your point, how does waste prevent a shortage from becoming a famine ?

Also, both raw cauliflower and tinned tomatoes can be eaten almost as is.

It's not just whales, one could draw the same comic about other animals being hunted or factory farmed, it would be very traumatic to live through. In fact Disney made an animated one about deer.

In political discourse anarchy has been given another meaning which is the elimination of undue power and self-governmen. Left anarchism focuses on eliminating hierarchies (power not justified by ability or need), while right anarchism focuses on eliminating special legal privileges such as those of the state.

You're agreeing with the article, the author says a small outpost is feasible but nothing comparable to a "colony" in the American frontier kind of sense : it will always be utterly dependent on earth, barely tolerable to live in, and all at a constant upkeep it won't pay back. Like scientific bases in Antarctica but much worse.

My guess would be yes, the whole point of including a legacy port like this would be compatibility. Laptops used (still use?) PS/2 long after desktops moved to USB keyboards because the lack of polling meant improved battery life, so it'd make sense for the hardware support to still be there.

That's fine, but there's no rational basis for your position, and therefore no reason to call the dude "stupid" regarding that. He thinks life sucks and you don't but that's just a difference in values.
