I travel. My Internet is off until I activate my hotspot. Whatever MS is doing, it ain’t worth it to me. I went all in on Linux (I use PopOS btw) a couple years ago.

Wild, ain’t it? They don’t know how to like something without worshipping it.
Thank you for your assertions. It’s always good to hear from an expert. You’re right. It could never happen here. Everything is fine.
Oooh swing and a miss. These people have a political ideology with a name. Would you like to try again?
In as short of a response as you can, please state who I was concerned about in my response to the article.
Keep it up. You’re doing great.
I made it clear exactly who I was talking about in my very first comment that you replied to.
Woosh
Oh thank you, what an excellent point you’ve made. Truly, you have destroyed the argument for self defense.
I never suggested we would be invaded by foreigners. Nor did I suggest fighting cops and the military, did I?
I said fascists. Yup, I sure did. Reading is fundamental.
Yeah, maybe you’re right. The cops will keep us all safe from fascists.
Too bad about Ukraine and how they fell in 3 days when the Russians invaded. After all, if you need weapons to defend yourself, it’s already too late. Everybody knows that. The best policy is always to immediately surrender and hope they decide to be nice to you.
Well, only because Republicans, the NRA, and cops were terrified and absolutely beside themselves at the idea of black people arming themselves and organizing for community support and defense.
I’m a gun owner. I have an AR-15. I don’t want to hurt anybody, just to be able to defend my home against these very same lunatics. If anybody is going to get guns banned in the USA, it’s gonna be these people doing it to themselves by their unsafe, insane, hateful practices endangering everybody else.
I have a problem with the Kelvin timeline. Specifically how they depicted the Kobayashi Maru sequence. No, I don’t care if Spock programmed it. My issue is that Kirk’s behavior stank. He straight up cheated, but even worse, he was smug about it. That didn’t show leadership potential at all. That was conduct unbecoming of an officer.
I’d always had it in my head that Kirk simply disagreed with the test philosophically. It’s a simple scene to set up. Kobayashi Maru tests officers to see how they deal with a losing path in a simulation of a deterministic universe, but especially to reveal the quality of their character. But Kirk doesn’t believe in fate. He believes in a quantum universe, where infinite possibilities spring from the vacuum every instant. In my mind, Kirk wouldn’t simply reprogram the hostile ships’ shields to drop at an exact moment, then just line up his shots. That’s still determinism! Instead he would subtly reprogram the simulation to account for random chance, and depend upon his skill to beat the odds against whatever the scenario might throw at him. Examining his changes to the code would reveal not a spoiled rotten, cheating, nepotism brat, but a confident leader with a fundamental difference in personal philosophy for approaching the Universe, and furthermore, who simultaneously argued that the Kobayashi Maru was a flawed exercise, while generously offering a patch to improve it. That’s captain material.
That scene would have made me lose all respect for Kirk if I regarded it as canon, so I can’t. I would never follow a man like that into the unknown, no matter his supposed tactical brilliance. No disrespect to any of the actors. It’s just bad writing. Beyond that, I’ve got no problem with Kelvin beyond minor quibbles.
What do you think woke means?
They also cut down a bunch of orchards to build more retirement neighborhoods.
Corpo apps are like
“Do you love me? Rate 5 stars?”
No I don’t love you. How about zero stars for sexual harassment? Do I need to talk to HR?
It sounds… impossible to defeat this darker side of human nature, in order to grow into a mature species worthy of restoring and responsibly maintaining this garden planet.
As a veteran, if a woman had done this to me, I wouldn’t even be mad. That’s hilarious, and I’d tell everybody.
Not much difference these days.
That saying needs an update.
Maybe, “Don’t attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by sociopathy.”
The only angle I think looks cool is the one on the pic.
