  • This is what drove me to Debian. I like stability, I don't need cutting edge, simple as.

  • A guest on Space Ghost Coast to Coast put it best. "A plant out of place" is a weed, like an insect out of place is a pest. It's a definition that centers ecology and targets invasive species.

  • "you'll own nothing and be happy" is also a fair descriptor of software piracy come to think of it

  • glad to know that people are basically the same everywhere.

  • the transparent/translucent electronics trend of the 90s and early 2000s

    I've been feeling nostalgic for this look lately. I really like how it emphasizes the artificial nature of the device in question and invites you to think about how it works and how it was put together - while minimalist electronics do exactly the opposite, almost as if you're embarrassed about owning it and want to pretend that it's not there.

  • In another case of "it's always projection", transphobes regularly accuse the trans community of having a "gender ideology" when it is clear from all available evidence that it is the anti-trans position that is rigidly ideological and unable to change when presented with evidence that it is wrong. The gender ideology that they are promoting is the exact same one that Western patriarchy has always promoted - women and men have to be squeezed into their little boxes and perform specifically prescribed roles and any deviation from the fairy tale is completely unacceptable.

  • Should be noted that Europe had commons for hundreds and hundreds of years before they all got enclosured and they managed them just fine with local-level spontaneous democracy.

    Also the "tragedy of the commons" as we know it today was invented by a malthusian in the 1960s and everybody who invokes it as an argument against socialism ignores the part of the essay where the author advocates for central planning

  • If there's any discounts they probably take the form of a link on a website that gets you 10% off (clicking the link installs a cookie that increases your prices on that website by 10%)

  • Put my dog on my back and fly around the world with her!

    (then when she's sleeping happily I start punching billionaires)

  • Oh man, i would fukken EXPLODE. I haven't had to do this yet (knock on wood) but i stg if anyone's ever rude to me in my own car I'm kicking their ass out, don't care where or when or how much money their ride's worth.

  • Been feeling this way doing rideshare the past couple of weeks. So many college kids and their wealthy parents going out partying and me with my degree and years of experience driving the cab.

  • Been doing rideshare late at night the last week, holy damn I didn't realize how bad the public bathroom situation was in my town, and I've got a car to hunt for one.

    We should genuinely have a public bathroom minimum. You want to run a store in town? You gotta make your bathroom open to the public. Don't care if the people using it are customers or not.

  • hel yea this is unironically fash shit

  • Fan orders are a terrible idea don't do them. Watch in release order, feel free to skip parts that aren't interesting. The fact of the matter is that the entire series has been written by the seat of the pants of the people making it, meaning that there are absolutely no insights to be gained by watching prequels before the originals, and every entry in the series has taken great pains to be comprehensible on its own. If you skip stuff you might miss out on some "I RECOGNIZE THAT!" moments in later material, but that's fine.

    Also... the prequels are really bad. You may want to skip them entirely. I would suggest watching the Original Trilogy, The Clone Wars (the 2D animated tv movie, not the 3D animated tv show), the Mandalorian season 1, and then Andor seasons 1 & 2. Those series represent everything worthwhile in the Star Wars TV and movie canon, literally nothing else is worth your time.

  • Critical support for both the Houthis and Poseidon
