People love the boot as long as the boot is privately owned.

“BuT eVeRyOnE iS oN tWiTtEr”

Yeah, because people like you make it compulsory and other people who won’t stop complaining about it refuse to leave. 🤷‍♂️

With our current SCOTUS all he has to do is sue then ride it up to SCOTUS and have em declare it unconstitutional to have requirements for office.

That makes alot of sense, but also makes me feel extra old. So do me a favor and GET OFF MY LAWN 🤣

No I still believe actions have consequences, I’m saying either they do or they don’t and people who want to play it both ways need to STFU.

However, while of course you can’t police what goes out in an envelope, I don’t think these materials should have been allowed to ship. Of course, while they say little Billy knowing the 2 guys next door are in love is too much for his fragile little brain the “won’t someone think of the kids” crowd don’t bat an eye at little Billy running down to the mailbox and pulling out a fearmongering postcard about genital mutilation.

Their free speech is bad. OK.

Yeah, hate speech is bad. IDGAF about your free speech when that speech is “I think this group I don’t like should be eliminated or removed from society.”

If this were a conservative refusing to deliver liberal info you’d call the refusal free speech itself and argue firing her is illegal - so y’all can sit the fuck down.

I’m just here to watch people who cheered and defended the lady who wouldn’t marry a gay couple suddenly care about government employees doing their job regardless of opinion.

That sounds nuts but having been there I wouldn’t be terribly surprised. I think the crazy part is (living in a bible belt rural city surrounded by pro-car everything and the various internet fearmongers) how mundane it all feels even at it’s peaks. Just a bunch of fucking people getting where they’re going. I’ve never understood the allure of sitting in gridlock for over an hour over just sharing space with a bunch of other boring normal assholes for 30 minutes (or whatever.)

My best friends are very pro car and liberal in that “sure better public transit is needed but ‘I’d’ never use it it doesn’t work for me cause XYZ” sorta way. I dragged them on an amtrak to DC, and took em on the subway up to our hotel and they’re just like “…oh that was chill.” Yeah, just fuckin people getting where they’re going it’s not a bath salt zombie apocalypse down here.

Of course, sounds like nobody ACTUALLY faced consequences and got to keep on keeping on. Just another lesson in “theft and fraud are legal as long as its from people below you”

People love to point at crime numbers on the subway but ignore the percentages, like yeah there’s (making shit up , not actual numbers) 15 crimes a day but its NEW YORK CITY thats out of 50,000 rides or some shit. I did the actual math once and it was like 0.005% chance of a crime on the NYC subway, beats the hell out of auto numbers.

Yes

This is America. Its never been and will never be shocking. America is built by violence, for violence.

For a point of comparison, a ChatGPT request uses 2.9 watt-hours (and rising) to a google searches 0.3 (which per your example would only be run once assuming you’re checking different blogs from the same list of results.)

Pretty much nail on the head here. Its basically “something something bootstraps: the novelization”

At least with battle passes its all laid out and its more a case of putting the play time in.

Hell I was never around guns as a kid and I was still taught this at a similar age.

I can’t speak to how often, but it definitely happens.

Its a perception thing, they see it as “I dont have to’learn’ anything I just follow these tutorials” even though a similar amount of effort would get them through the few commands they might need on Linux.

Eh, no use crying over spilt milk, youre here now. :) Linux is still stuck in a weird cultural hole, its not your fault it took a while.

Ive always been familiar but a daily driver of windows. I started self hosting a year or two ago, and recently switched my office PC to Linux with a secondary win partition. Ive just never had issues with windows but I’m pretty tired of what they’ve been up too lately so for me it was time. Whenever I get around to grabbing another m.2 for my living room rig I’ll do the same for it.

This is the thing that gets me about that level of user. I understand basic users who dont care prefering windows, but I always kind of found it amusing to watch people “Linux too hard booo CLI…now excuse me while I learn to manipulate the registry, and run scripts/disable certain things via the checks notes CLI.”

Believe it or not, straight to jail.
