I think a good portion of the people complaining have never touched DOS, maybe CMD once or twice with a tutorial online (which sounds a whole lot like some stackexchange user teaching me about bluez, but this is scarier because they were told linux hard.)

If I can't be expected to remember sudo dnf update -y why would I be able to remember a whole ass recipe, or how to care for plants, or how to change my oil? There's no GUI to tell me how much nitrogen my soil needs, I can't be expected to learn anything!

It's always going to feel like this even if you never need a terminal for one simple reason:

When you google "how to XX on linux," you're going to find a stackexchange page where someone else asked, and someone answered with a terminal command instead of "Ok what DE are you using? Ok, so you're gonna want to click these seventeen different menu options, and I don't remember them without looking at them myself." It's just always going to be easier to send someone a string of ~30char to type than to try and figure out their GUI without screensharing.

The eldritch guy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy?

I'm on the email list, myself, lol. Also just picked up a copy of Zippy #3, sitting about 5ft to my left just waiting to be read.

Ngl, I use mine almost every day.

My car is old enough that I can replay with no desync, I use it to keep my car running and locked when it's cold and I pop in for some food on break at work, or if my remote dies; it has every remote in my house in it, xbox one, my living room tv, my bedroom tv, my workshop CRT with the lost remote, my ceiling fan, and can be used on all other IR or (almost all) subghz devices I encounter; my local bar was real loose with the touchtunes remote one tuesday afternoon when I totally wasn't in to copy specifically that (I gave the bartender rides home when she had a DUI, they're cool with me) and I was able to copy it, now I can control the volume outside (among other things but I'm responsible with my powers, I only skip Rick Springfield and Don McClean); a couple of my friends no longer need to worry about giving me keys when I feed their cat because RFID, and I "have" a gym membership now (the gym allows sharing, probably not specifically cloning but they'll never know); I can send myself Pokemon Silver mystery gifts on the GBC, and I have a GPIO board with a link cable to trade pokemon in too; marauder/evil portal is a little too malicious for me but it's neat, and flipperHTTP is cool too; some of the GoodUSB stuff is cool; I have a 2gb flashdrive image on it I can use in a pinch; and tbh I'm sure there's more I left out.

Though yeah "we don't even have a baby dept in this location" and "since when are our CVS announcements in spanish?!" are priceless lmao.

PLA+ is too bendy, confirmed. It "works" but I needed to use a separate tool like a tension wrench to turn the lock.

So others can't get out? So others still can't come in? So we don't let out all the AC?

this has been a Desilu presentation.

Free your mind and your ass will follow, the kingdom of heaven is within.

Thank you!

I'll take one!

Wait you think the only women in the entire game are in this one strip club?

Right, then I responded to them, then you responded to me responding to them, and now we're here. You said it's missing part of the argument but it is the argument you jumped into, so "nuh uh" is what I'm saying.

and there's no scene where John Wick gets a lap dance. There are women who appear to be sex workers, and John Wick murders their bosses. The audience isn't invited to participate in the objectification,

I do not agree that paying a woman for a lap dance is objectification if sex work is real work and should be respected. If sex work is bad and shouldn't be respected then sure, that'd be a bad thing to pay for, but it can't be both.

Mhmm that's 'cause of all that violent imagery no doubt.

No you pick your nose. It's true I saw you eat it afterwards.

there's no scene where John Wick gets a lap dance. There are women who appear to be sex workers, and John Wick murders their bosses. The audience isn't invited to participate in the objectification,

Here you directly state that getting a lap dance, i.e paying a sex worker for the service she sells, is objectification and you go on to accuse those who engage in such activity of being misogynists. This implies that sex work is not real work, a phrase meant to normalize sex workers and cut down on their judgement, as you can't normalize something if all their customers are also bad people. It also implies you think sex work is something to look down on, likely from a place of "you're better than that" rather than "dern whores," but that's still not very sex positive of you.

You can say dumb shit about your pixel strawman all you want, but putting sex workers as helpless dolls that need to be saved by the hero isn't as progressive as you think it is.

They did pay the voice actors real money, and the fictional women use fictional currency. They are being paid both fictionally and IRL. Sucks to suck my guy, get good.

Btw I like that the root of your sarcasm is "No, stripping isn't real work, real ones shouldn't get paid because the fake ones only get fake currency." You're a weird dude.

Well you could kill them and steal it back afterwards I suppose but you do have to pay the fictional game ladies fictional game money, yes. They need it for their fictional kids and to buy fictional food in the fictional grocery store, duh. What, you think they take USD?

Try again Mrs. Gore.
