Crossing your arms and going “No, I won’t vote for your agenda without your full support!” when the alternative to voting for that agenda is literally fucking fascism is flat out saying you support fascism more than you support your own party. Tell progressives how they’re doing it wrong more, I’m sure it will win important elections like it… hasn’t.

This fucking “I was here first, and have seniority, so I deserve first choice” stuff is grade school bullshit.

The America you loved was a lie built for the silver screen. Fixed that for you.

Further, the sheer audacity to mention Tom Waits and not recognize the brokenness of so many the characters that populated Waits’ songs that reflected the brokenness of America.

• Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis
• Romeo is Bleeding
• Anywhere I Lay My Head
• Frank’s Wild Years
• Soldier’s Things
• Clap Hands
• House Where Nobody Lives
• Crossroads

Fuck me, I could go on, but that’s just a handful of examples of Waits songs that are explicitly about how broken the USA is. Waits’ music never described a hopeful or happy America, no matter how touching and beautiful his music is.

Dianne Morgan is absolutely dreamy. She somehow gets more attractive as Philomena.

Gates in particular is a creepy fucking sexist asshole who abused his position at Microsoft to make passes at numerous women who were his subordinates, including Melinda Gates, whom he met about four months after she started working at Microsoft.

Not that this makes him much different from any other billionaires.

He must have watched that pile of shit movie Toys.

Don’t worry, he’s also got the help of *checks notes… Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey!

Don’t people feel good for supporting the original Oculus Rift now? I’m so glad the godfather of modern VR is an absolute pile of shit and always was!

They’re literally, right now, busy losing their shit because David Hogg has the audacity to suggest that the future of the party should in the hands of people who will live to see that future.

One of the sources familiar with the talks described them as “a departure from the usual acquisition process. There’s an attitude that the national security and defense community has to be sensitive and deferential to Elon Musk because of his role in the government.”

Following in the hallowed (retch) footsteps of Dick Cheney and Halliburton’s no-bid contracts to “rebuild” Iraq.

Shedletsky needs to shut the fuck up. All that bitch did was work on Roblox. Yeah, you really built the modern world you fucking chump.

We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn’t was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn’t use the “free speech” canard.

You reminded me of this old film from the 1980’s:

B & E from A to Z: How to Get In Anywhere, Anytime

Last I checked the UK has no guarantees of free speech.

Whew, patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

World-leading research is taking place into this field at King’s College London, where scientists have explored lab-grown teeth for more than a decade.

Yep, I first read about this more than a decade ago so that tracks. Probably a decade or three more before it’s really viable as a solution.

Yeah for that you have to look to Germany, which has largely embraced Matrix, and certain states, such as Schleswig-Holstein, have embraced Linux and LibreOffice:

c’est magnifique

he thinks I’m going to unintentionally hurt him in the future which I’m trying to accept but it makes me so mad.

This is going to happen in every relationship for all the time until the end of time. There are zero relationships where people don’t unintentionally hurt each other. He is weaseling for a way out of reality. We all do little things that hurt one another, even our closest loved ones. No one is perfect. That’s just life. If he can’t accept that, he really is immature. He’s trying to run from reality, he will never find someone who doesn’t hurt him in some way unintentionally. Even if it’s something as simple as someone not being appreciative enough of something he did for them, if he’s hurt by it, he can’t avoid it. Feelings are a real thing we have to deal with and no one can be perfectly cognizant of another’s feelings at all times. Nor should we be altering all our behavior to make sure nothing we ever do could harm someone’s feeling. We should always be willing to find compromise and improve our behavior to try to not harm others, but what he expects is literally humanly impossible.

It should make you mad. He’s demanding the something impossible from you, a promise that you could never, ever accidentally hurt him in any way shape or form.

There’s definitely something to be said for stability. I use stable releases for all my server boxes.

Arch is fine for a gaming desktop or a desktop you don’t do actual, you know, work, on.

But for work or servers you need stability.
