Better late than never I guess?

Geez I just realized many people probably never lived to see this fixed… fuck. Now I’m sad and feeling extra mortal.

In effect, it will be for some people fed up with all this bullshit.

I’ve had a 2XL and a 4a. Both have been great. I’m debating whether to hold out for an 8 or save a few bucks like I did with the 4a and get a used 7 or something.

Wtf with the ableist slur???

If gender is whatever an individual feels like, then this event was just thousands of women and non-binary folks,

The event could be “thousands of women and non-binary folks”. Did all these male-presenting people identify as women or non-binary just to be able to attend this event?

What do you think identity politics is, exactly? Just a way to make changes you don’t like to make you unhappy? It couldn’t possibly be about people trying to make social changes so they’re not constantly treated like shit. Oh no. The horror.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit

No. Just no.

And get off my lawn, ya whippersnapper.

Sounds like something a bigot would say.

A fish rots from the head. Corporate culture all flows from the CEO and board. If a bigoted piece of shit is in charge, this is what you get. Because the top of the company sets and enforces policy. So if they don’t care about bigotry or if they are bigoted themselves, they won’t set or enforce policies to stop it. They will hire bigoted management. Those bigots won’t stop it and probably encourage it. They hire bigoted workers who will persecute others and face no consequences. Those who anti-bigots can report but will be ignored or face retaliation.

And studies show people are just as productive putting in 30h as they are 40. So let’s do that. And people will have more free time and be able to focus more on the work at hand.

And make this spyware illegal.

I tape over my webcam when not in use. I wished I could run my own hardware and OS.

Right? If I get my work done on time and put out high quality work and my workload is comparable to others, then that’s all the corp needs to know.

If I’m performing poorly, ok, sure investigate. Otherwise fuck off with this babysitter spyware. It’s insulting.

This is fascinating!

I’m also curious what causes idioms to be shared across languages, like “pearls before swine” (presumably this is shared because of the biblical verse, Matt 7:6)

I’ve been meaning to watch that one.

"Might as well use curl | sudo bash" omg I’m ded 💀

Ok well 2001 was kind of an outlier… you’re not wrong. It was slow when I watched it in the 90s lol.

But, watch something like The Maltese Falcon. Which I did recently.

I had no issue following. It didn’t plod along in my view (of course I’m middle aged and don’t do tiktok). But it also wasn’t rapid fire constant clamor. There was space to absorb and reflect as the story evolved. And you need that space because it’s mentally challenging.

One thing that hit hard is how it is a good, interesting story above all else. Definitely gives theater vibes and made me realize how hollow a lot of movies are.

Anyway. There are lots of examples from the 60s and 70s that are slower paced and a lot less busy and chaotic than modern films for sure.

Use of lethal force is a positive defense for homicide in all US states when one is under imminent threat of serious bodily injury and I am pretty sure rape falls under that. This law comes from common law so I wonder if India also inherited this from England?

My main uses for them weren’t ever desktop but tinkering with simple robotics / telepresence, automation, aprs / mapping, 3d printing (octoprint). Seems like the 5 is overkill for that. I guess there’s always the pi zero.

For all of us bitter people who couldn’t get an RPi 3 let alone 4 for less than a fortune during the recent dark times…

We’d like to thank you: we’re going to ringfence all of the Raspberry Pi 5s we sell until at least the end of the year for single-unit sales to individuals, so you get the first bite of the cherry.

So I will probably preorder one because why not.
