Generally, yeah. I just was thinking ‘what can he plausibly say that won’t get him stabbed?’

Contra does some great dark comics. This feels like it was rushed.

Uh… I was just thinking it was strange because you, being a girl, can stare at women more freely because they won’t think you want to sexually assault them?

IP laws are meant to protect creators, but are backdoored by corporate personhood. Remove corporate personhood and the world of IP law immediately becomes less toxic.

If you’re wanting to use software that’s most easily available on different distros, why not just use Distrobox? If you are just wanting to change the UI, why not just switch DEs? If you really need to be able to randomly switch away from/to system level differences, what are you doing? What would necessitate that?

“Yes” ¹

Dog needs more walks.

If it’s in your ‘private wine cellar,’ either you already paid for it or it was gifted, still free-ish. If your wife is making you pay to ‘re-taste the honeymoon wine,’ you might have other problems.

Then I can’t get in, much less sit at a table.

Peanuts are a commonly lethal allergy to something that, while not unavoidable, is surprisingly prevalent. I have heard it’s awful.

The individual poster may or may not be real, but anti-union ‘training’ and propaganda are definitely real.

I think of them like food content warnings for non-lethal allergies, like lactose intolerance. It’s a kindness to have a warning that helps people avoid shitting their pants. However, we all need to recognize that it is just that, a kindness. There is an inherent risk when someone says ‘hey, taste this.’ If you have a high sensitivity, you have a responsibility for self-care through self-denial. If you were uncertain if a food contained something to which you had an extreme sensitivity, you’d say ‘no, thank you.’ Same holds true for the whole world of media. You can hope for kindness, and put in the effort give it to others where you will, but don’t trust that it will always be given to you because it is an extra effort.

Haven’t used it but I’ve heard of cryptomator.

Freedombox but with more modern and popular apps? I was just thinking about this kind of thing.

It’d need a bit of reinforcement, but maybe a lazy Susan?

Yeah. I’m hoping to go mostly self-hosted.

HR is the bane of all forms of success, both for companies and people.

I think I understand your meaning. However, if everyone is insane because they are blind to reality, does it matter that educated people are too? And if those who study deeply on something don’t actually shrink their baseline awareness, (learning mechanical engineering doesn’t make you less able to comprehend text, grow a garden, ride a bike, etc.) even if they only reduce their blindness in a narrow area, they are less blind/insane than the average person who is blind to most/all of the same things as the expert but also blind to the things the expert has studied.

Now, there is an effect where someone may see how much more sane the expert is and expect that the experts narrow knowledge will make them also saner in some other area where they are just as blind as anyone else. This is a big problem in our world because you get people who think they know how to run the world because they know how to write a few lines of code. The trick is, this is a blindness shared by almost all people, not just experts. The expert in chemistry isn’t more likely to mismanage a school than the average person, but both are more likely to fail than an expert in education.

It’s not $5. There’s a tap in all our pockets, pipelessly connected to the Heidelberg Tun of free wine that comes in all colours, types, and flavors.

I have a similar one but these days I’m wanting something smaller. The spring slide on this style means the minimum size is rather large.
