Regicide.
I take my shitposts very seriously.
Regicide.
And a bitch is a female dog, I know. There’s a factor of intention, a.k.a mens rea, a.k.a guilty mind that separates right from wrong based on why a person does something. It’s this sort of inconvenient nuance that dealing with absolutes doesn’t allow.
Try telling that to a text filter or a moderator on a power trip. They won’t give a rat’s ass about “to retard” meaning “to reduce or hold back.” Even the linked article fails to make the semantic distinction when it calls for the elimination of the word.
If this comment disappears, it will have proven my point.
Tell that to anyone in the aviation industry and you’ll get a chuckle and a couple of "bless your heart"s.
If you really, really, really don’t want to buy a keyboard and monitor, you can buy a USB KVM console, but it’ll likely cost more. Something like this: https://www.startech.com/en-us/server-management/notecons01
Only if there’s a side plot involving a sovereign citizen
If Spider-man was invented today, people would call it copaganda.
Good ol’ ScunthorpeM181. I was once banned from a school project on historical fiction and sent to the principal for writing “'ass” in one of the files. It was about Assassin’s Creed. I was very close to calling that system removed, especially because it wasn’t even English.
Oracle was one of the first companies on my personal shit-list. I feel validated.
Probably work on Château Picard. Like living in a hypothetical post-scarcity world, having all of your needs met is not an excuse not to do productive work, or to adopt selfish goals.
Sounds like that thing from Far Cry 5. They’re not known for taking “no” for an answer.
Thinking about it, being circumcised probably reduces sensitivity a lot more than cranking the hog on the regular.
It’s gone from overt to insidious.
I’ve got like 120 hours in Civ5. Unfortunately I couldn’t finish the second match.
The Unity desktop’s search would display Amazon ads based on the query. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu#Conformity_with_European_data_privacy_law
It’s like the “nazi bar” anecdote. It always starts small. You let in a bit of ads, a bit of self-promotion, then the revenue reaches a plateau. You let in a little more ads, maybe a pop-up saying that you could be more secure. Then a few years later you have a Recall situation. If you let one nazi drink at your bar, he’ll bring his friends, and you’ll be running a nazi bar.
I don’t trust Canonical to act with integrity.
It’s Debian-based, but Canonical has been really Microsofty about its development. They now have Snap as a universal packaging format, and have mandated that all official Ubuntu flavors (so X/K/Lubuntu and others, but not derivatives like Mint) must include Snap, and must not include Flatpak in the default installation. They’ve also fucked with APT where installing certain packages, like Firefox, would first install Snap and then the application’s Snap package, without even telling the user. They’ve had some controversy with Amazon ads in the search results, and advertising Ubuntu Pro in the fucking terminal. The default GNOME desktop also has a ton of issues.
I, and many others, recommend against Ubuntu. Linux Mint is the most commonly recommended “just works” distro. That being said, switching to Ubuntu, if able, is still preferable to staying on Windows.
My dad is now pissed at both Microsoft and Adobe, and curious about Linux. If I can find a Lightroom alternative, he might actually switch.
make the tedious levels less annoying
They’d better not touch the Library!
If the hunters and gatherers don’t want to die, why are they made of fertilizer?
