And one major thing that Linux also does that Windows does not is Linux will never install an application on your computer that you didn’t explicitly tell it to install.

I have uninstalled nopilot on work computers so many times. I run scripts to manually disable and remove it and prevent Windows from installing nopilot, and Windows updates, reverts what I did, and then reinstalls fucking nopilot, and then sneakily launches it in the taskbar where I can’t easily see that it’s running to begin with.

Voluntarily running windows at this point is kind of like voluntarily allowing yourself to be sexually assaulted.

Only weirdos and sad people who don’t know that it could easily not be like that continue to put up with it.

There is a difference between being a contrarian troll and having unpopular opinions.

Be a lightweight to start with and then don’t smoke for a decade. Shit hits harder than the first coffee after a 6 week caffeine break.

Yeah, the Mexican dirt weed I used to get as a teenager, you could smoke half a joint by yourself and be buzzed.

I quit when I was 18, but then I moved to a legal state and I took one puff and was legitimately stoned for the rest of the day. Like, could barely control myself.

The modern stuff is super strong.

I mean, what on earth makes you happier than someone you care about being excited to see you?

If I remember correctly, it was also a somewhat common method of murdering your husband to drive a nail into his skull. The tiny wound would be easily hidden and apparently quite a few people got away with it.

No, but dry mouthed 80 year old sandpaper tongue was featured prominently on the menu

Yeah, I think this one’s a winner assuming they retain the information after the conversation you could convince your younger self to make different choices and to put you into a different place.

Sure, you may no longer exist after the conversation, but the version of you that would exist afterwards might be less sad.

She only has herself to blame, like she was supposed to be there when you were 7, not 33.

Yeah, but, like, could you imagine getting your ass kicked by Gillian Anderson? That would be hot as fuck.

Their prostate must have looked like a dehydrated pumpkin

The interesting thing is that there are surprising numbers of similarities between Trump and syphilis.

One, you typically only get either of them when you’ve been doing something you shouldn’t have been doing, but there are also a myriad number of innocent victims who truly do not deserve it.

Two, both of them will destroy you if you don’t get rid of them.

Three, you’re fucking anyone that you give them to, and possibly also their spouses and children and the future generations that linger on afterwards.

Four, they’re both much worse when you give them to the underaged

Five, the minds of people who’ve had them long enough get damaged, and in some cases they even are grateful for having got them in the first place, attributing having received supernatural powers thanks to them.

Six, thanks to modern technology, they can technically both be cured with a shot.

If you want to have that debate, then you have to address the concept of insults themselves.

It is the soul of irony to suggest there is a specific line that you’re not allowed to cross when you’re being offensive, when insults themselves are meant to be offensive.

You can find a bone to pick with any insult. You can’t call someone an asshole because there is a significant portion of the population who have either been congenitally born without assholes or who have lost theirs and are using a colostomy bag. And every time the word asshole pops up in their radar, they’re reminded of their plight and it is trauma-reinducing.

Calling someone a fucker is potentially trauma-inducing to people who have lost their genitals or been surgically mutilated and are unable to enjoy any pleasure from sex or possibly unable to have sex itself.

And I get that people who have experienced difficulties are different from people who are born with difficulties, but both of those groups are forced to live with things that they simply cannot do anything about. When they encounter aggressive language all they can do is take it.

I still think you are correct that we shouldn’t use the r-slur, but we also shouldn’t really tone police one another in public when the only method available to do so is to detract from a much more important conversation.

After all, the only way we’re ever going to get to a world where the largest concern we have is the Emotional Impact of what words we use when we are angry and frustrated is to deal with the actual world in front of us, where people are murdering and killing people for being born different.

There is a correct and good community building way to address this issue, and there is a “Gotcha, fucker! you made a mistake in your words, I’m gonna yell at you on the internet!” way of dealing with this issue.

The correct way would be to privately message the person and say, “Hey, please don’t use that kind of language, it is offensive”

They might have gone back and edited it.

I feel like people have forgotten the concept of face, since the internet is anonymous, and a lot of flame wars happen because people do not consider each other’s faces when they are talking to each other.

So if you really consider the impact of derailing a conversation about how Republicans and Trump supporters and fascist pedophiles are destroying the entire world and making everyone on the planet miserable to say, “Hey, you used a word that is offensive to people with mental difficulties”, then I would say that you were in the wrong for addressing your concern in the way that you did, not that your concern itself was wrong.

You expect me to buy less than $5 worth of Arizona iced tea?

But my friend, my friend…

Everything costs more than five bucks.

This guy was damned and determined to be able to jack off to his own reflection in the mirror by any means necessary.

One of the tiny delights in my otherwise drab life is the fact that we get to carry each other.

Every time someone gives me the opportunity, I am so ecstatic.

Could be better but im doing better than my shitty parents ever did, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

I doubt they’re gonna be doing lost casting in high tensile steel.

Probably just gonna like melt down some aluminum soda cans and say it’s good enough.
