I’m trying to imagine the user that both needs a text editor in the command line, yet is uncomfortable outside a gui.

I write scripts all day, but closing a program without clicking the little ‘x’ is scary and weird.

This isn’t cooperation, this is rivalry. The point is for you to use Edge instead of Chrome.

Just another skirmish in the war for what matters most: which tech-giant is the default choice.

Crush patriarchy. That’s the system that’s failed these men after all. It wasn’t progressive values that promised them women to dispose of. It wasn’t feminism that promised them easy success and automatic status.

It’s the promise of patriarchy that has “been stolen from us”. And it’s the restoration of patriarchy these men are clamoring for. Men want their privilege back and the Left can accommodate them for the low low price of jettisoning feminist values from the movement.

This is really the most Democrat bullshit ever. Left politics is getting more support than ever, but we’re going to get obsessed with pleasing the groups that hate and oppose us instead of championing the issues of those who support us.

You conflate being Asian (a resident of a continent) with Slavic (a cultural group). So what is race? A coordinate, or a cuisine?

Race is so unreal that you can’t even keep the lore straight in your own head.

Spaces like 8cun and kiwifarms are very welcoming to regular type dudes with centrist politics and mainstream opinions. They’re not nasty, unreasonable, and deranged like us. They’ll never challenge a man who identifies as normal.

It’s really hard to hurt another person when you feel their pain.

Consider the sadist. How can you enjoy someone’s suffering if you can’t recognize it?

The most wicked people are advanced empaths.

The best part about Christianity is the music, but this ain’t it.

We don’t know. Forces in and near black holes break physics. There is tons of speculation, but speculation is all there is.

It’s good to have a rational for your choices. And we know it can’t be because you think Microsoft makes good software that you enjoy using.

Linux is easier to install than Windows. With the new Win11 requirements, Linux is the only choice for PC hardware more than 5yo. And like you say, hardware drivers just work. This used to be Windows major advantage, but now the chance you run into a compatibility issue is about the same for either OS.

People in the Confederacy would have been embarrassed that Braxton Bragg got a base named after him. By the end of the war, Bragg held the title of General in name only and had no authority over anyone. His only talent was being friends with Jefferson Davis.

What’s ironic is the same people warning of Sharia law and a Muslim takeover conspiracies are the same people actively clawing back women’s rights in the West TODAY!.

Stop pretending that bigotry and chauvinism are products of critical thought or rationality.

If someone cuts contact with you, it’s up to them to reestablish. You don’t need this person’s acknowledgement to deal with your regret.

No. To feign happiness one must be aware they they are not happy.

JP is an atheist, but he recognizes the value in other people believing in Christianity. This is because the myths and symbols reinforce his worldview to people who (he views) aren’t smart enough to get there with reasoning.

Also, like all Western Chauvinists, he can’t let go of the idea of “Christendom”.

News reports that Musk is a heavy drug user suggest that he self-medicates to cope.

Elon knows all the money in the world can’t make him a real boy and that warms my cold dead heart.

Bonus: Elon’s dad is exactly the kind of POS you’d expect, but his one redeeming quality is that he heaps praise on Elon’s brother while regarding the world’s richest man as a disappointment.

The ATR-72 has jet engines. It’s just that the turbine spins a prop instead of compressing air for direct combustion.

The biggest indicator of safety is if you’re flying to/from Newark.

I installed Ubuntu back when that was popular, and insisted on having all the graphical bling, like 3d cube that would spin to change desktops. And windows that shook like jello when you moved them.

Of course all this messing around by an amateur did nothing for stability and after 3 or 4 frustrating issues I went back to Windows.

Why do you want to be in a relationship with someone who you don’t like?

It’s important to use a regular shop for routine maintenance because you’ll build a relationship for when something major goes wrong. The extra cost is worth it.

Plus, imagine what kind of “mechanic” works in these places. Accepting low wages implies they can’t get a job at a real shop because they suck, or because they have no experience.
