  • I did in my first reply

    Look I get the knee jerk on hearing male. "Oh we're talking about masculinity, that's an attack on me." But the topic at hand is masculinity.

    Why are so many boys and men feeling alone and in the cold?

    Yes, toxic behaviors exists in both mainstream genders. Shallow ass women who play on male insecurities is a thing. BUT that's not the topic here. Like, you shoving the whole "but the other side" thing really comes like someone walking into a hospital being outraged they aren't going to do a quick dental clean while you're there. You're in the wrong place. There is such a place to go to, but it ain't here.

    I mean nothing but love for ya, but the knee jerk comes off a bit hard. Like we can have that discussion, but honest, I don't think this is the thread for it. It feels like it detracts from introspecting by way of blaming the other team. I'm not downvoting you, I get where you're coming from. But I just feel it's distraction.

    And that is my opinion on the matter and nothing more.

  • tiffanarchy two hours later Where the fuck this cat come from?

  • Doesn’t matter the reviews or review bombing to Blizzard. The fact remains that no matter how actually shitty the game is Blizzard is making record profits off of the game.

    That’s all Blizzard looks at these days. Is it making them money? And the answer is an abundant yes. So for whatever hate there is, the fact that players are still handing them fistfuls of cash indicates full success to them.

  • In legal terms we call it pretextual law. And usually they are stuck down by courts because they aren’t here for this phony shit.

  • Man I want to reincarnate as a cicada. Born, sleep for like 13 years, wake up, shake my ass to indicate I want sex, and then die two days later by becoming some bird's dinner. All this 401(k), healthcare, legal systems, and what not is some bullshit.

  • Ah c'mon now. Look how happy OP looks though.

  • You know, I'm going to say it and maybe no one likes it, but. Just the feel I get is that we're so hopeless in having our politicians actually do shit. Like, we realize, they're not going to do a damn thing to address jack shit. And the world has been turned so rampant consumerism, that the only way it feels like we have left is to do this non-sense of burning sneakers, shooting beer, and selling cars.

    Like we're so past the point that actual advocacy is so ineffective and politicians are so past the point of actually serving the public, it's either we rampant play the game they've set before us with mucho-consumerism or we do the teetotal opposite of "we're killing the Applebees" anti-consumerism.

    Now there's tons of in the middle, but say there's some perceived social ill, well to solve it you cannot just send a letter to your Congressional Representative or Senator. That's just going straight to the recycle bin. And you cannot just march on whatever to try and make a point, news cycle isn't going to focus on it unless it drives traffic to their site to sell ads. So how does one solve this "ill", fuck it, let's go consumerism in one or the other direction TO THE EXTREME!! Because, that money, that's what they're listening to. So you and your groupies fucking with it or amping its sales through the roof, oh well that they will listen to suddenly. We've got this notion that the things we own OR don't own define our position of morals and ethics. It's kinda fucked up when you think about it, it's like 11:00am here and while typing this I'm starting to reach for my whiskey flask.

    I feel like this is how the Boston Tea party got started. The British wouldn't listen to shit, so fuck it, let's go fuck their tea up! You know, I don't know, all of this is just a feeling. But it feels like people we voted in to listen to us won't listen to us and thus we've got to go fuck with people's wallets so that they will listen to us. Do I think it's a good idea? Nah, this is silly shit. We should be able to address social woes in better terms. But that said, it doesn't feel like we've got a lot of tools to actually address shit. Everyone (that's hyperbole, I just mean to say a good amount of folks) has gone greedy as shit. There is fewer and fewer folks who are looking at "what will this do to the future" and just getting into that "dog eat dog" mentality.

    Trying to keep from going off in a long crazy ass tangent, long story short, I think the 1% have amassed so much fucking everything and the rest of us are fighting so hard for table scraps, it's difficult to not be slashing at people's throats. Because if you ain't taking from your brother or your sister, you've got rich fuckers taking from you both. Like I said, it's just feels, but damn it feels like when it comes to solving some sort of problem in society we're a small hungry rodent being backed into a corner by some fifty foot cat. We're at a breaking point, we're either going to do something crazy or be a feline's lunch. Is that the proper way to solve anything, odds are likely "no", but damn I can't blame a person for being crazy. We're in some crazy ass times.

    So yeah, I agree with you, but I mean I can't really look around this place and blame a person for being batshit crazy. It's kinda the environment that's promoted now a days. Now me and my whiskey flask are going to go have a heart to heart. Shit.

  • Oh shit yeah! That kid totally learned from his parent that violence was a solution to emotional issues. That kid is fucked for life (which is highly likely to be incredibly short) if at age six they already associate lethal violence as an appropriate solution for dealing with emotions.

    That kid will learn the lesson of fuck around and find out in a life-altering/ending way soon enough. If it's starting at age six, educating that out of him is going to be a near 90° uphill battle. And that parent squarely put that mentality into him.

  • Yeah this is only a bit as the mainstay of ABC is their news account. But it is a step in the right direction.

  • Well hold on, LXD is a subset of LXC, that is LXC is at the heart of LXD but LXD brings with it a RESTful API written in Go to control LXC. Canonical doesn't own LXC, IBM wrote LXC.

    LXD and LXC became really intertwined once Docker and CoreOS Containers dropped LXC and went their own way. Basically leaving LXD as the sole claim to fame for LXC. What Incus is doing is basically providing a RESTful API on top of LXC, pretty much the exact same way LXD does exactly that as well.

    In fact given Canonical's Google-lite approach to dropping projects like they're hot and the maintainers that are heading to Incus, Incus is less fragmentation and more migration.

    the initial set of maintainers for Incus will include Christian Brauner, Serge Hallyn, Stéphane Graber and Tycho Andersen

    I mean that pretty much is the bulk of people that know how this software works inside and out. I just don't see Canonical (inventor of the MIR Display Server) devoting the resources to keeping up with LXD when a good bit of mind-share just moved over to Incus.

    This is just more of the same that's helping Canonical become less leader in the deb based distros and more just a player. Add in their wonderful call to double down on snaps and you've got a 1-2 combo they've dealt to themselves. Canonical just did the MySQL vs MariaDB to LXD. Like MySQL is still useful, but MariaDB left MySQL in terms of features and functions in the dust long ago. You use MySQL today because of name recognition. You use MariaDB when you actually need a database with actual features.

    And the likelihood the exact same thing happens with LXD just jumped an order of magnitude by seeing who just signed on to Incus.

    EDIT: And Incus has replaced LXD on the linuxcontainers.org page already. Ooof. I wouldn't want to be Canonical at the moment.

  • I don't say this often, but good job Ohio.

  • Every time I hear someone say "the world is over populated" I always toss in "for the current economic system we are using."

    Like the whole thing with AI. AI taking jobs isn't the problem, it's that jobs are pretty much the sole determining factor on who gets to eat and who doesn't with our current system.

  • Would SpaceX not count in that? I get that he, himself is not the guy who made the rocket, but without his money that first rocket and the COTS program would have never existed.

  • THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL WITH THE JUDGE ‘ASSIGNED’ TO THE REDICULOUS FREEDOM OF SPEECH/FAIR ELECTIONS CASE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, AND SO DOES SHE

    — Donald Trump

    On what grounds?

    Trump previously said it would be “IMPOSSIBLE” for him to get a fair trial in Washington, in part because he has called for “a Federal TAKEOVER” of the district “in order to bring our Capital back to Greatness,” according to posts on his social media site.

    So the logic is that if I say some crazy ass shit then I can just keep delaying my trail and picking judges that I like? I don't think that's a great lead chief but let's see how that plays out.

  • Then there was me.

    Teacher: "Can anyone other than IHeartBadCode answer the question?"

  • In July, Musk tweeted about Twitter / X’s financial situation, saying, “We’re still negative cash flow, due to 50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load.”

    Advertising could be up two fold for all it matters. You sack a company that last turned an annual profit in 2019 with $44B in debt, it won't matter if Musk is shitting gold bricks. You can't pay that size of debt off fast enough. To just get started on that debt Musk would need to make Twitter twenty times more profitable than their 2019 profit. And even then that debt is going to be a monkey on his back for forty years in ideal conditions.

    That $44B isn't chump change for Twitter, like maybe if Tencent took a sudden $44B debt they'd make good on it, but they're wildly profitable. Twitter barely gets by and has only gone on this long because of the Tech Bro funding that all but dried up when the interest rates were going up.
