I haven’t read it in full in well over 15 years, but that comment made me go find it.

I am not okay today if this is making me cry and I just woke up an hour ago…

I love it

Okay look, when my current drive fails I’m never EVER reinstalling Microsoft,cand I’m not getting another Microsoft computer. Macos was never even an option…

So One Day™ I will chomp down hard on that cracker…

I even broke out my old laptops to see if I could salvage an hdd to give current laptop (with space for an extra hard drive) a separate (if smaller) Linux drive.

Sadly all 3 were unusable, they literally freeze everything that tries to access them…

But I pinky swear I’ll be making the swap Soon™

“hmm, I’m bored. Oh look here’s some people enjoying a small laugh. Imma shit on the fun. How DARE they enjoy a joke I personally don’t like. The FOOLS! THE ABSOLUTE MORONS! I simply MUST tell people their frivolity is absurd.”

You can just buy keys.

I actually have a few that I keep in my protest bag.

I also have a couple pairs of cuffs.

My gender-non-specific human, why do you insist on calling every single person here shitty for calling out BS reddit tactics?

Are you in love with their CEO or something? It’s a little weird.

I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.

Reddit mods don’t need to follow any sort of logic.

And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.

That’s what I’ve always heard, and though I can’t think of where I vaguely remember seeing an interview/BTS style video where he said they had to make some assumptions based only on the trailer, the poster, and things Lucas had said himself.

Spot on though, you’d think it was made after the prequels came out.

It’s called “executive dysfunction” and it doesn’t make you lazy.

My wife started out with tons of republican views, she just didn’t vote ever.

Through conversations about the state of things, pointing* out hypocrisy, and validating the feelings her religious family was telling her to suppress, I’m happy to say I’ve managed to marry a leftist. She didn’t even really have the liberal pit-stop many of us take.

I’ll take 100,000 leftists married/dating/whatever to 100,000 liberals over 200,000 conservatives any day of the week.

I have told managers, to their faces, I do not have a smart phone… While holding my smart phone.

So far, while most have quite noticeably glanced at my phone, none have actually called me out on it.

If any of them ever do, I will just get a prepaid flip phone and use that for work.

It’s curtains for me.

I guess I’d better frame my next comment differently!

I meant widow, sorry for not being clear.

Most people I know didn’t even know Kirk was married until his assassination planner window* started making the news screeching about how much of a saint he was.

*widow

Personally I choose to believe violet08 is a robotic cat, and simply pretending to be a woman in hornyposting mode because they enjoy trolling.

Because the kind of brain that thinks “I deserve all this money” is broken, and not even close to resembling the brain that thinks “I should use the extra money I have to help others”

The two things are incompatible. Shit, I wouldn’t even feel comfortable showing my face to employees who don’t earn close to what I take. I’d be too ashamed that I’m essentially stealing from them since I’m not doing to work of 20 people (let alone 150,000) by myself.

The brain that doesn’t have that shame doesn’t even think about others, unless it’s in the context of “how can I exploit this”

And the United States government, whose nuclear launch systems for decades had a default “0000000” password on systems so old they figured nobody would know how to hack them in person anymore, and they’re incompatible with the internet.

It’s disturbing to me that my high school hobby of fixing and operating old computers meant I could have launched nukes.

Useless knowledge: a black hole can technically exist inside a super-massive star.

The gravity of the black hole pulls in hydrogen, the force of the hydrogen fusion and Hawking radiation pressure from the black hole try to push the hydrogen/star stuff out.

For awhile at least, with enough supply of hydrogen (that likely doesn’t exist in a large concentrated enough supply), it can hold itself in balance as the biggest star you’ve never seen.

Note: take this with a grain of salt, this is my understanding of a kurzgesagt video I watched while high.

Why do that and risk actually losing, when you can go after the small guy and send a message to the plebs?

It’s an accurate snapshot of the American executive branch right now

Don’t sell us short, it’s also an accurate snapshot of the legislative and judicial branches, as well as about 30% of the general population!
