That’s an interesting excerpt. I always thought the proper response to an identified whatabout is to simply say “I asked you first.” -That’s assuming the opposite party refused to respond to the initial premise, argument, or question. I imagine if they did respond to the initial premise, argument, or question then asking whatabout… is just a standard form of discussion and debate, or so I’d think.

That’s a good question, it makes me similarly think ‘What happens to the social contract when a nation & government no longer provide security to it’s own citizens?’

I spent my time fighting AppImages until Canonical started to force Snap on me. I hated Snap so bad it forced me to switch distros. Now I appreciate Flatpak as a result and I don’t find AppImages all that bad, either. Also, I haven’t found myself in dependency-hell nor have I crashed my distro from unofficial Repos in well over a decade.

-It’s a long way of saying It works for me and it’s not Snap.

In theory the IoT could be secure. -In theory.

If I don’t remember to take them off in my car(or I’m just feeling carefree) then Ill wear them inside because as long as it’s well-lit I can see better with my prescription sunglasses. If it’s dim then I do that thing wear I lift them slightly to peak out from under them to focus on important visual details like prices.

Hardware bugs/support, and Snap.

It beats doing it in the middle of an urban hellscape

Somebody watched too many 1980’s comedy movies.

Two days ago I watched a video by Explosions&Ire (PhD) when he began adding unknown amounts of chemicals he thought might work to produce a color change to his solution. He lamented that what he was doing amounted to “Vibe Chemistry.” In that moment I understood how inappropriate it was for a skilled programmer to do vibe coding.

So could a gorilla take on 100 men carrying that glue?

I have a galaxy Xcover 6 pro. It still has all of the good features people want. My first smartphone the Galaxy S5 also had those.

The “infidelities are always there” part sounds like a cope. I’m not a great authority on relationships or marriage as I’ve mostly opted for single life but I have spent a lot of time around the various aspects of substance abuse and the way you describe this discussion sounds eerily similar to people with substance-use issues saying “everybody drinks” or “everybody uses drug x.” It might be true of the people they surround themselves with but it’s not representative of the broader population as a whole…

-On a seperate note you’re really making me want to attend my 20th reunion next year. /s

-Lastly I just want to clarify that i’m interpreting the term “cheating” to being different than a poly/open-relationship. As I understand there’s an element of deception or lack of communication when it comes to “cheating.”

I hate how bluesky is seen as a revolution…

I’m pretty sure that’s just the establishment liberal media. A real revolution would mean upending their own way of life.

That must have been frustrating. How many times did it lock you out from trying again?

Beginner’s Command Cheatsheet

:q!

It’s not a gross oversimplification. If Russian aggression had really been that important there would have been a stronger reaction back in 2014, but back then our military industrial complex was already churning out profits for a different foreign engagement. -An engagement also against brown people.

I know it sounds trite but his hostility towards Rosie O’donell back in '06-'07 cemented my disdain for him.

It’s worth a watch if only just for the effects and the world-building. I’m not against the premise, either, but like the title of the sub points out there was poor execution.
