You know you’re old enough to buy beer right?

One of the biggest problems with modern reading is that nobody ever has an hour to kill.

As raw entertainment, reading can’t compete with screens.

My tip is to ban your phone from the bathroom. Shitting is just about the only time you’re sitting still with nothing obvious to occupy your mind. In this situation a shampoo label is interesting.

Your problem isn’t censorship, your problem is relaying on services to listen to music. Be it Spotify or the Radio, you’re listening to public music; you have to share. And preferences of others are going to override yours, be it business decisions, or just people who’d rather hear the censored version.

You’re trying to ride the bus, and mad because it doesn’t pick you up and drop you off at your front door.

I don’t think it’s coherent to suggest I’m overlooking what Trump is doing. People can hold views on multiple things.

I’ve never been taken in by all that laptop nonsense. I try to be understanding of addiction too. But dude had an affair with his brother’s widow; I can’t see past that. No matter how many clever clap-backs on Xwitter.

Viewing justice as the punishment of the guilty is conservatism 101.

The real failure is that no legislation, law-enforcement, or court action has been taken to address why billionaires can snatch little girls off the street. The real failure is that rape is barely even illegal in the US, and it’s viewed as right and proper when powerful men have access to little girls the same way their wealth provides them with access to all rare and desirable objects.

This isn’t because our leaders are sick, it’s because our society is. These men didn’t steal our daughters, we sold them out, cheap. No amount of Presidents in prison will change that.

$300 for a PC speaker? Madness.

As someone from the E coast, Olympic is like someone took a forest and turned it up to 11. I understand the technical term is temperate rain forest, but nothing prepares you for the shear density of life.

Groups of trees in a line are common, like in the 2nd pic. That’s because they grew on a fallen log that has since rotted away. If you leave anything there for a week, shit will be growing out of that too.

Y’all think it’s funny that dude had a Nazi tattoo? Like that’s not relevant? Am I stupid for considering that a giant red flag? Do you think his excuse about not knowing his nazi tattoo was a nazi tattoo is credible? Would you accept that from Pete Hegseth?

People who call themselves anti-fascist should have higher standards. We should recognize that people subjected to fascist violence might view white dudes with Nazi tattoos a little differently. And those people might view white leftests differently knowing that anti-fascism and anti-racism is fungible.

So go ahead and down-vote me, but remember this the next time you’re vexed about why Bernie Sanders struggled with black voters. Leftests have a credibility problem in some communities and shit like this is why.

Did the kid in your school have access to experimental kit?

The kid in my school had a special prototype that displayed the Nintendo on the windshield for the passenger of a car. I’ve been waiting 35 years for that product to hit the shelves.

It’s ironic that you can’t resist using misogynistic language even as you deny misogyny was a factor.

Imagine someone denying race was a factor while calling her the nword.

Term limits would require a Constitutional amendment. That’s a generational project.

The corruption in this court will consume it. For example, it’s only a matter of time before a POTUS realizes that the immunity granted by the court could be used to legally assassinate judges who rule against you. Why add to the court when you can subtract?

I hate the mouse. It’s so frustrating that developers have abandons keyboard controls and functions. The mouse is always slower, less efficient, and more likely to cause repetitive stress injuries.

and let them use the AI systems to increase productivity.

This sounds exactly like a solution from a useless middle-manager. Keep the faith.

These kids are better equipped than the orks at the front.

YSK: manholes are dangerous. Never mind the nastiness and falling hazard. Many are cast-iron and because of the rust, the interior can be a low-oxygen environment. And that’s not the only way the air can be too fouled to breathe safely.

If you’ve ever seen professinals entering manholes, they’ll be using a ventilation system to ensure fresh air and safety.

EDIT: this isn’t just about breathing, sewer gasses can be fire/explosion hazards too.

I’ve used SAMBA shares for years, and it’s dead simple to map a network drive in Explorer. And mounting that drive on boot is a matter of a checkbox in a dialog.

The problem is that knowing how to do something in Windows teaches you Windows and learning it in Linux teaches you computers. For example if you know how to connect to a remote host through the command line, you already know how to connect to one in Nautilus, and vise versa. (via the command ssh://user@host)

I think this cross-pollination approach is going to be a learning curve for Windows users. It is for me. But taking the time has not only helped me understand Linux, I understand how to use Windows better, despite barely logging in for over a year.

There is a rise in so called “America first anti-Zionism”. Don’t fall for it.

The first problem, of course is that it’s anti-Semitic at it’s core. But also, the idea that Israel “tricked” the US into war with Iran is just stupid. The US has been in a on-again off-again conflict with Iran since the 70s. Every POTUS since Carter has contemplated attacking Iran, they just concluded (correctly) that it wouldn’t work. The only reason to believe America didn’t go into this eyes-open is to absolve the US for Israel’s crimes. We were tricked you see… by those crafty Hebrews.

Donald is just looking for a scapegoat. This is typical behavior when things don’t go his way. It may be true that Netanyahu had undue influence over Trump, but that could be true of anyone who Trump talks to, or sees on TV.

It’s true that nihilism cannot justify any action. Remember that when someone says that somebody did something “because” they’re nihilist.

The truth is that nihilists aren’t upset about the lack of meaning; it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter. Everybody constructs their own meaning, nihilists just acknowledge that.

It doesn’t have to be high tech. Sometimes plain glass is installed and later applications, etchings, or abrasions are added for privacy.
