How much do you really think they care about what the constitution says?

I am. 🙂

I think we agree on most of the points here, and now we’re just getting defensive about tone, and details.

I was just trying to point out that nothing has a way it is supposed to be. There is what things are, and there is what we want. Yes you can use many of the features of our language to convince people of your opinion.

I myself don’t like the idea of personifying the planet then imbuing it with opinions so I made the comment I did.

Changing topics. Good strategy.

Not even a little bit. I fully believe humans are causing climate change. It is going to make life as we know it on this planet completely different in the very near future.

I still think the planet itself doesn’t give a shit, and claiming there is a way it is “supposed to be” is pretty narrow minded.

the Earth is not supposed to

I don’t think we get to say what the earth is “supposed to” do.

For most of the earths existence it wouldn’t be possible for humans to exist. I don’t think it really gives a shit about a bridge we built.

There is a shoe store where I used to live named Red’s Shoe Barn. I was always hoping the correct lights would fail to make their sign read “ed’s hoe Bar”. To my knowledge it never happened, but I don’t know.

I’m trying this.

I respect the concern, but if you already ate the bacon that left you with the fat, hasn’t a fair amount of the damage already been done?

Yeah, I wish I knew this about a year ago. Thanks.

If you are used to driving a manual, you don’t rest your foot on the foot rest area, you keep it just about to push the clutch. Also, saying the brake pedal is the full width of two pedals is wrong, but it is certainly wider. I have gone for the clutch in an automatic once and just barely caught the edge of the brake pedal. The results were very confusing, and without exaggerating it took me 5-10 seconds to figure out what I had done. It was while driving my mom’s car with her in it and she looked at me with the most “what the fuck are you doing?” look she has ever made.

This was all over twenty years ago but yes, it is definitely possible.

I don’t want to kick a gift horse in the mouth, but as someone who loves mixed metaphors, I’m stealing these.

Maybe it’ll be the next MySpace?

At first I read your last line as “liberally press my ass” and I thought that was an odd way to end a rant.

This isn’t what my understanding of how the system works, but the way you word it, you seem very confident that it is. I’m honestly curious what you read that lead you to this perspective.

Interesting, my first thought was similar but different.

Clothing.

Now I have to go poke around the Internet trying to understand the history of both, which came first, and speculate about which made a bigger impact on our species.

edit:

Yep, it was fire. By like a lot. Both have pretty big ranges, but fire seems to be in the hundreds of thousands of years ago range, and clothing seems to be in the dozens of thousands of years.

I use youtrack. It’s a project management tool. It’s not open source, but does have a self hostable option.

I guess you’ve never heard of the National Organization of Restoring Men.

I swear I am not making this up.

I’m a little sad I had to scroll so long to even find a reference to the old “pogs”. Damn what a weird fad.

I think it needs to be 5 or 8 so it’s a number from the Fibonacci scale.

It is also important that there is no possible way that a story point can meaningfuly represent time.

I know you asked about memory, but the computer I just assembled had a 750watt power supply. As an American I think we should refer to it as a “one horsepower power supply” instead.
