It doesn’t have to be this way. My grandparents and extended family were war refugees and on the receiving side of bombings. Fortunately they and their children made it, but they lost everything else – their homes, belongings, friends, neighbors, possibly relatives. Took them maybe 25 years of group effort to emigrate, resettle, and generally rebuild to a modest life. To my best knowledge they have never bombed anyone or participated in other violence.

So yeah, be like them. Get the fuck out of danger, take care of each other, and don’t perpetuate the cycle.

The cell walls are the walls of the cells :p

Always loved this one. Watterston did an amazing job making the faces and postures so incredibly expressive. Likely a good study for other aspiring artists.

What happened? Did they kick your dog or something?

What’s better? KDE? Or GNOME?

Cinnamon.

Nah just kidding. What happens is that you use enough different OSes and DEs for enough time and you start to see through the matrix. You realize they’re all just visual wrappers for the underlying systems that do the real work, and the DEs don’t really matter. All the major ones are good enough. And when they don’t work, that’s when you use command line. Then eventually, after doing that enough times, you say “fuck it all, get this GUI out of my way” and just start using CLI for everything.

I’m quite lactose intolerant and don’t handle cabbage well either.

Remaining instructions unclear; banana stuck in rectum.

That’s an interesting question and one that’s worth exploring. Reddit certainly has been the source of many homegrown memes, common retorts, and witticisms used across the web. But here, you can try switching to Linux. Download various distros for free and try out combinations of release cycle, built-in apps, and desktop environment to find your favorite.

Belfast has the red edition.

There’s no such thing as rewatching Black Books too many times.

Right? That’s exactly why I give my business automations names like SupaWubbaDubbaHappyTimeAuthyWauthyTeeHeeSecurityWorkflow.

Protons. As in protons, How many. On a weird logarithmic scale with 7 in the middle, of course.

Yeah, that’s exactly what we should be concerned about. These problems aren’t going to get better by killing people.

The mother of a gradeschool friend was at Kent State in May 1970 when the national guard shot and killed 4 students and wounded 9 others. She said it was appalling and horrifying.

Are we really going back to this shit? I guess this country learned nothing.

I’ll call them whatever you want – Kekse, galletas, piškotki – if you help us get rid of the fascists.

But personally I’ll always associate the word ‘biscuit’ with this.

Ooh, do Harry S. Truman vs Harry R. Truman next!

+1, I’ll make cookies.

My partner has been learning Norwegian and some of the reactions from native speakers lean toward the red.

It’s not about difficulty (it’s one of the easier languages for English speakers), but moreso that they believe it’s pretty useless outside of Norway lol

I was responding to this part.

Because chemtrails are basically just clouds. It’s just water vapor from the airplane engines condensing in cold atmosphere at high altitudes. […] Go out in the winter and breathe with open mouth. You’re now breathing out chemtrails.

I agree with your reaction to the chemtrail conspiracy crowd who are clueless on science, but this is too oversimplified IMO.

Yep, I understand all that and agree with you. The chemtrail conspiracy people are unhinged.

I’m just criticizing the statement that fossil-fuel vehicles are only emitting water, when we know for a fact that the combustion products are pollutants.
