Retired IT guy, all-around nuisance
How do you know if somebody has Linux on their desktop?… They’ll tell you. I’m currently on Windows 10 Pro but have used a number of different Linux distros since the mid-90s. I also had to have Windows because of work requirements but now that I’m retired, I may go back to Debian or Kali.
I’m pretty far left politically and I can think of a number of similarities between the two parties. The dynamics are very much the same in certain cases but the ideology driving it is different.
Probably a valid point
Not exactly the purpose of the Philosoraptor meme but oh well. Depending on how you define “stupid”, there are stupid people even in a small room full of MBAs.
I thought that was an exchange between Nietzsche and God, or it used to be. Anyway, I was unaware that the double low-9 quotation mark was even a thing so thanks for that.
The term is still whispered in the dimly lit, smoky rooms of Republican get-togethers.
No Empire lasts forever.
SNW went completely off the rails and became a CW science fiction show. It is not Star Trek and is so cringe worthy, it’s painful to watch.
Believe me, i’d rather be 34 than 64. There also are not that many trilogies that I’ve re-read, Probably just Dune, Foundation and LOTR.
Just wait 50 years like I did to reread the trilogy and it will almost seem like you’ve never read it before.
A long time ago, Star Trek had some decent writers writers, many of whom were classic science fiction authors. Now all they have is a bunch of younger screenwriters that do not have a lot of life experience. Yeah, TOS and TNG could be cheesy at times but most of the episodes had substance. Kurtzman’s Trek is like a CW show that’s written for teenagers. SNW is definitely strange and new but it’s not very good.
You will never find more wretched hives of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.
15 years in September. I haven’t bailed completely but almost.
I’m pretty far left politically and I can’t stand Spez. The guy is the definitive self absorbed capitalist… seems pretty Republican to me.
A rewatch of “The Expanse” and occasionally Star Trek:TOS. SNW Is unwatchable.
Every time I did that I got downvoted to oblivion
Sizes aside, whenever I bought a Toyota or if I bought a Lexus, I would make sure that they were manufactured in Japan.
Now they can steal all your data even faster
You have a point but there’s a pretty big difference between something like a statistics textbook and the novel “Dune” for instance. One was specifically written to teach mostly pre-existing ideas and the other was created as entertainment to sell to a wide an audience as possible.
I think the “invisible hand of the market” swats more people than it helps.
