Don’t confuse patriotism with nationalism. Patriotism is love for one’s homeland, nationalism is a delusion of blood and soil.

Heroin.


Switching to Linux is activism. Not only are you making an anti-capitalist, anti-consumption statement, but active participation creates growth and change that’s observable and satisfying in a way that most direct action cannot be.


Stopping the genocide is a necessity. Getting “justice” for the genocide is a luxury.
Palestinians will not forget what happened. No matter the media cycle or influencers.


And even if drivers do exist, they may not include the extra software that comes bundled with drivers on Windows. The most obvious example is NVIDIA GeForce Experience suite.
This goes in the pro column if you ask me. I would pay extra for a printer that just has vanilla drivers and no software suite.


The recent Dungeons and Dragons.
‘Upgrade’ is an excellent sifi B movie.


Every appliance, monitor, speaker, clock, really anything that plugs in has to have a blue LED.
Got a modem from the cable company installed in my bedroom, the indicator lights were bright enough to read by.


People show you how they feel. If it seemed like your partner didn’t care, that’s probably the case.
If feeling wanted and valued is your prime criteria, don’t compromise. I’m not going to promise that you’ll find that, but I can promise that it’s easier to find happiness alone than with something you settled for behind sunk-cost.


This whole height thing is an artifact of dating apps.
Of course women are going to judge based on one of the 6 data points they have available. It’s not that they’re shallow by “nature”.
Women will almost never confront a man face-to-face with the reason she rejects him because to do so is physically dangerous.
I saw a meme on reddit today that suggested that an obese woman could have all the partners she wanted and that only men suffered from being rejected because of their body and this incel shit is gotten out of hand.
EDIT: here is the meme: https://i.redd.it/yyp4m7axn25f1.jpeg


Does anyone use Microsoft because they like the software? Because all I ever hear is “I need it for games”, “I need it for work”, or “It’s the only system that works with my hardware”.
One wonders what the market share for OSs would look like if people were able to freely choose what software they liked.
Why do women never take their mother’s name?


Shower sex.
In the movies it looks so hot, but in reality, you’ve got a eyes and mouth full of soap and your freezing. 2/10


misogyny. I’m not saying it causes the most death and harm (though it may), just that I’ve never met or heard of any dangerous ideology where misogyny wasn’t a core element.
Feminism inoculates against fascism.


This is exactly right. People don’t wan to change, even if the new way is demonstrably superior. Look at the adoption of the Metric system in England and the (almost) adoption in the US.


Self defense is a fantasy of control. If you want to eliminate threats to yourself rationally, eat more vegetables, take care of your mental health, and drive carefully.


It’s weird that Linux certification requires rote-memorization of commands. The only people who make any effort to memorize commands are newbies and people studding for exams. You will always have access to bash history, man, and --help, even from an offline machine.
Every command I’ve memorized is simply the natural process of repetition. Is that your experience?


Oxygen tanks are not bombs. They won’t explode or shoot fire. The reason they’re painted green is because oxygen is non-flammable. (those red acetylene tanks however, are scary)
Now obviously any existing fire can be made much worse with oxygen, but it’s not enough on it’s own.
Why does it have to be a desert island? I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere.
Domestic GPS is plenty accurate to use in weapons. It must be accurate to <1M to be useful for navigation. If google maps can find your iphone in your house a missile can too.
I suspect that the Government has plans to make the signal less accurate or even turn it off in the case of an emergency.
GPS is also trivial to jam or spoof since the signals are weak anyway. In Ukraine the EW space is so flooded that they use wired drones, and old rockets with inertial navigation are popular.
