I’m not going to gatekeep this but I will be sad when the conversation goes “cool {band} shirt! You ever listen to their live stuff?” and they go “what? It’s a band?”

Police should be held individually accountable

That’s like using a machine to lift weights at the gym for you.

or they think I’m challenging them in some way

Admittedly, there is a bit of

Them: “It works”

Me: “I don’t believe you. Prove it”

that people might not like. But usually the people who take the most offense are the worst coders.

Also include horrific externalized costs from cars.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Republicans can fuck themselves off a cliff. They enable this. It tickles their stupid “in group good our group had” broken brains.

They really just say whatever in pursuit of their goals. Conservatives should not be taken seriously. They’re dishonest, cognitive hazards.

I don’t understand why people dislike tests. They don’t take that long and you need to check things anyway.

Well, I say that, and then I think of my coworkers that don’t write tests and also push up code with syntax errors. Code that they clearly never even ran themselves.

It’s billions of dollars of tax “avoidance”, cheating, and simply not paying. Unfortunately, the wealthy who are calling the shots don’t really want to pay millions for IRS lawyers

I’m pretty sure I read that auditing the wealthy is a huge profit center for the IRS, because they find people who aren’t paying what’s owed. Naturally conservatives (of any party) hate this and gut it whenever possible

I realized the other day that I don’t have a solid count. A friend of mine revealed they have a document with a line item for everyone they’ve slept with and a brief summary.

I’d guess it could reasonably round to 100, though.

Still happily using Linux.

I did switch the DE to kde plasma because the cosmic desktop was giving games a lot of trouble. Opening in weird window sizes, mostly. I did some light trouble shooting but decided I didn’t care that much about the desktop environment, so I installed the 2nd one.

I have wondered about that. What kind of range can you get DIY? I guess if you did fire something they could try to do physics to figure out where it came from, but you’d hopefully be long gone by then.

Ooh a Unitarian. Don’t even have to be Catholic. I used to hang with unitarians. Some good folks there.

Pretty good. Didn’t have to worry about my parents barging in, or bickering, or any of that.

It’s all projection. They can’t square their self image with the reality so they project it onto other people to sooth the cognitive dissonance. They’re garbage people. Like in a deep, fundamental, way. They are bad at existing in a complicated world.

If the “geniuses” who run these tech firms spent less money lobbying politicians and instead offered to pay for the college tuition of every student who successfully graduated from the local high school, they would probably get a very different reaction from the public.

Yeah , they could do a lot with their wealth. Unfortunately they are stupid and selfish. They’re playing a dangerous game and eventually they’ll roll for guillotines.

They’re stupid and it’s frustrating that we have to deal with them or suffer global consequences.

It helps that I’m absolutely not a picky eater. Rice. Beans. Whatever random spices speak to me. Done. Content.
