Charlie to universe:You just need to accept gun violence as a fact of life.

Universe to Charlie: You first.

The little mouth is still enough to take the head off of ya, sooooo…

It sounds futuristic

No, it just sounds stupid.

Sure.

It does not matter, all feet have roughly the same size.

Why not make it even more ambiguous by specifying the desired cutting width in “circumference of my dick”.

Boycot Intel? Okay, you got it!

In my hometown up in the north, there was a students pub that offered a “whore’s breakfast” (“Nuttenfrühstück”) that was just a cup of coffee and a cig, so…

I believe in equal rights and opportunities for all, be they man, woman, in between or none of the above.

But saying (and perhaps believing) one is a feminist and actually acting like one are often two different pairs of shoes. We all are confronted with so much discrimination, with so much bias, with so much misogyny, it takes active labour to actually behave like a feminist, because no matter how you think about yourself, at some point and to some degree, all that shit we get confronted with every day will rub off on us, and we have to understand that and constantly check ourselves so that it does not influence us in our thought patterns. Constant mental garbage collection, if you want.

That is true for all kinds of discrimination, no matter what it is based on.

Nvidia compatibility had been getting steadily worse on x.org for the four or five years prior to the switch to wayland. It is getting steadily better on wayland now and I would pick wayland from a stability point of view right now.

Sadly, that has not been my experience. I tried using wayland on several different computers with nvidia cards (yeah yeah I know, would not buy them again today), and the result was pretty terrible. Random crashes terrible. The same is not true with X. It is also not simply the case of the nvidia propriatary drivers being terrible (they are), because on one of the machines, I installed the open source driver instead (mostly because the proprietary driver would spin the fan full speed all the time, and I found no way to stop it from doing that).

I should add an alias for ‘snyc’

I think you could make the same argument for other things. Why do you tip servers in America? Aren’t you just propping up a system that screws them over? Why are you forgiving student loans? Aren’t you just propping up a system that put them into debt in the first place?

Yes! Yes! YES!

Obviously the answer is to change the system.

Do you?

High-end “stop hitting yourself” energy.

My boss is collecting racing bicycles. He does not drive them. He has about 40.

This was in the late 90s of the previous millennium, so I do not remember exactly how much I used, but you cannot buy acetone in gallons in Germany, only in small quantities.

This happened to me one time, however there is a big “but”.

A friend gave me a big coffee can half full of dry weed. He told me it was really really old, and it probably wouldn’t “work” anymore. It looked kinda old, too, sort of grayish-green and not very appealing.

I had never smoked before, and so I thought I should make edibles out of it. I did some research and resolved to extract the resin with acetone. It was a bit of work, especially getting all the acetone needed without too many questions, but I did it, and I successfully extracted the resin. I then looked up a cookie recipe and worked the resin in there.

Now, I was a really dumb semi-intelligent adolescent. I kept remembering my friend telling me this was probably not going to do anything. So when the first cookie seemed to do nothing after an hour, I thought “at least I have some decent cookies”, and I proceed to eat them all.

Turned out my friend was very very wrong.

…which makes Overstreet’s argument for urgency even weirder.
