“Who are you and what are you doing in my office?”

It would help if reality weren’t also currently a toxic pit of despair.

So much for her half-assed redemption arc.

On it.

My art refuses to do witchcraft. What do?

We’re good with technology, so we’re VERY easily able to find our EXACT preferred porn for our EXACT fetishes. That snowballs.

Also, forget ALT-TAB. We Linux users LOVE having keyboard shortcuts for completely different desktops… for reasons.

They can rent out or sell the building and recoup a measure of that investment. It’s nothing compared to the windfall they’ll get from selling snake oil on a military procurement contract.

As soon as people stop looking, Google will shut down the whole office. It’s how tons of huge companies get around “can’t lay off union workers”.

Yeah.

Ignotum: “No…”

It’s not just the story - it’s the artistry of the telling. Otherwise you’d never have a reason to watch a movie or tv show more than once.

It’s flooded for a reason, all.

As far as modern replacements for legacy systems go, I also was NOT happy with the concept of systemd, but after using it for years, I have to say that not only did it NOT break everything, it’s on the whole been pretty stable, reliable, and I even begrudgingly admit I like the syntax better.

WAYLAND on the other hand…

And a very happy May the 4th to you too, buddy.

It’s not about enforcing behavior. Not primarily. It’s about setting a precedent of what is important.

There’s a huge difference between “They didn’t let me drink underage but I did it anyway and became an alcoholic.” and “They explicitly let me drink and I became an alcoholic.”

The former AUTOMATICALLY comes with increased caution from even the people who break the rules. And more importantly, it completely removes the “I didn’t know” from the equation. Personal acceptance of the consequences of one’s actions is the first step to fixing it later, but with no rules, it’s easy to get bogged down in “Nobody stopped me. It’s THEIR fault.”

Critics don’t want to hear that young people whose brains aren’t fully developed yet have poorer impulse control than adults…

But young people whose brains aren’t fully developed yet have poorer impulse control than adults.

Scientologists are shit, and they DO destroy lives, but at least they didn’t hijack the US government to age-gate the internet and funnel tax dollars directly into unconditional support for Israel.

So yes, at least in the case of Christians, “most religious people are out of control cultists” or at least “most religious people belong to organizations that directly feed out of control cultists” is accurate enough to be fair.

nods approvingly
