You are right I’d forgotten about that. He kills a bartender for slighting him if I recall correctly. Fair enough I suppose judging him as evil for that is a fair take.

An interesting perspective on it thank you for writing it up for me. I haven’t read McCarthys other works so I don’t know the about his views. I do think that the book is highly critical of lawfuless and civilization. The kid goes out into the Mexican desert as a scalp hunter a pseudo legal profession and quickly the gang goes from killing indians to killing Mexicans to killing whomever. I think this shows how thin the veneer of civilization really is.

The kid is a kid and is easily mislead into a life of violence first by the army guy and later by the gang and the judge we never hear his inner monologue so we don’t really know how he feels about what he does. We do know that his heart contains some mercy for the victims of the gang the judge explicitly hunts him down for that mercy.

I see the book a critique/satire of the western genre. I agree it explores and questions the nature evil. But I don’t think it says much about how to tame it.

I really like the description of blood meridian as reading someone’s dreams. I am curious how you get men are bad by nature out of it?

Trueeeeeee

I know this is a meme but it is free and opensource software. Can we please be kind to the people that work to make your life easier.

A Use at your own risk disclaimer leads to a significant increase in support tickets or negative customer perceptions. Being able to use ES6/ESnext features in your javascript codebase is really nice.

I’m not a fan of this being the current reality but much prefer this putting up this type of disclaimer over having to support internet explorer or safari.

In an ideal world there would be no need for any of this but consumers consistently choose for whatever is easiest for them in the moment and it leads to negative outcomes for al of us.

This is very interesting is this in your own experience or has someone done a nice analysis of this somewhere. I did a quick Google but could only find threads of people complaining about it.

You are right I should’ve used could rather than would. While proton is very good there are very much performance penalties especially for older games due to the adress space nightmare it becomes. I suggested lutris because someone smart probably figured out what the issue is and has created a wine environment that handles it.

I think cs2 has a native Linux build available so that would explain why you get better fps there. Unfortunately I’m not familiar enough with wow to be of much use there. If you launch those games thru steam do they still use the blizzard launcher for authentication? I know some of my friends have had success with lutris for wow so you could try that.

Who is the top right woman on the left side? I don’t recognize her

No longer a NEET but when I was I had very few bills. My parents paid for most of my living expenses and other things I funded by boosting other players in videogames mostly league of legends and RuneScape. I didn’t have a lot of autonomy but I also didn’t really want anything so it was never a real issue. Looking back on it it was very bleak but at the time I was happy enough playing video games and coding little projects. I rarely left the house maybe once a month. I don’t think the term is offensive.

Qobuz wouldn’t allow me to sign up with a proton alias. I also tried deezer but they wouldn’t stop sending spam. Out of the two I’d recommend deezer.
