Totally irrelevant to your comment, keep up the strike and hold the line! Assuming you're the real Margot Robbie and have a prolific platform. I know it's not fair, especially to the less recognizable members but a lot of other people who are thinking about unionizing are watching the WGA and SAG strikes to see if labour can still win. It's not just you guys, we're all with you. Even if they're too stupid to realize this strike is more important than a new season of NCIS. Labour winning this strike proves that labour isn't out of the fight and capital hasn't completely won. Stay strong! Hold the line!

Then how else am I supposed to feel superior compared to everyone else if I don't impose my standards on them? I'm just trying to help them. It's like you want to live in a world where people don't know they're loosers. That's dumb, you're dumb. /s

I am so glad that garbage uses homeopathic rather than holistic these days. You want a doctor that takes a holistic approach, they're looking at your whole body not just their specialty. Homeopathic =/= holistic.

I didn't mean to say that products manufacturers produce will stop having RGB, yeah it's here to stay. I meant people's unique builds, stuff people post to /r/rate_my_pc, or builds.gg. Custom built and pre-built PCs are going to be slammed with more and more RGB until that case is brighter than the sun. PC parts are never going to get as cheap as they were 15 years ago I'm afraid.

No don't! Sleeper retro PCs are back in style, I wish I was joking but I'm serious. Pack that ten year old case with as much power your poor little wall outlet can provide!

The number of times I have labeled something as fart, poop, fart_poop, temp_fart_poop, etc, and just forgot about it is not okay.

I would love that to be true, I wish it was possible to stop Putin without blowing up half of Europe and threatening the rest of the world. I sincerely wish you were right, but that's not the world we live in right now.

Yes war is hell, people die, families are torn apart, parents burry their children. Putin started this war, he didn't have to and he could stop it with a word but he doesn't. He keeps doubling down. It's not that no one wants peace. Everyone wants peace. What they each want to negotiate for peace is incompatible with the other. Ukraine wants it's land and sovereignty back. Putin's regime wants that land and sovereignty over Ukraine. There's nothing to negotiate for when your goals are so incompatible. There's nothing to negotiate for when your land is occupied. There's nothing to negotiate for when your opponent will only use that opportunity to come back stronger than before. If somehow Putin could offer something impossible that would prevent Russia from ever invading Ukraine again then MAYBE there can be a peace and that's probably Putin's head on a platter.

Oh, Putin + Hitler = Putler. Took me a moment.

It's okay to be scared. It's okay to want the war to stop because you're scared. It's okay to want peace, but

arguing for peace at the moment, is arguing for the attackers advantage.

hits the nail on the head. Putin pulled the war Genie out of it's bottle and it won't go back in until his regime is defeated. It's okay to want peace and to fight for it, but to argue they need to negotiate now is either completely tone deaf or outright advocacy for Putin's regime.

Just my two cents, he's a textbook narcissist. Would he accept responsibility, no. Is his ego so big he thinks he can actually start WWIII and nuclear armageddon, absolutely. Add a dose of kompromat et vois la, Elon Musk is now sympathetic to Russia.

For sure, and Linux/BSD isn't that scary. For anyone here who doesn't think they are smart enough, I'll give you a hint; even the Linux guru's 'Google' everything. They're looking up very different things but they're still searching like the rest of us. If you stick with popular distros there's always a guide, or a forum post, or a YouTube video that'll show you how to do almost anything. You don't even need to install it, you can run most distros, and all the popular ones, off a USB stick. You don't even need to change anything on your computer to try it. I personally still use Windows for almost everything, but calzone_gigante is right,

even if you choose to use windows again, after knowing more of how things work, you will be more able to force it in working your way.

In my experience it's best to make friends with the roommates your landlord forces you to live with. I live in an apartment for years that had cockroaches, I told myself they were eating the bed bug eggs. Probably not true but I felt better. Landlords are scum-bags.

I absolutely agree that we should however it's a prisoners dilemma. The person who is willing to sacrifice their living time to work is a more desirable employee than someone who respects their living time, and we're seeing automation replace not only laborious jobs but cerebral and creative jobs as well. We're just starting to see the next generation of jobs being replaced by more advanced automation and AI. I don't think we're all doomed but the future is beginning to look pretty uncertain.

I wonder though if in the near future because of the popularity of work-from-home the boundaries between public life and private life could errode more. Prior to work-from-home many employers already assumed they could contact their employees any day, any time, and expect prompt action/response. Once a living-space is also a work-space why shouldn't I encourage my employees (who I don't have, I'm not an employer) to work extra hours? They're already not commuting, that's time they could be working.

I think what the commenter was explaining was the difference between a hypothesis and a theory.

This is for anyone else you seem to know the difference. Just as an fyi to anyone who doesn't know the difference, most laypeople say theory when they mean hypothesis.

• A hypothesis is "an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true."
• A theory is "a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained."

That's not very helpful, but basically a hypothesis is an untested answer whereas a theory is a whole lot of similar hypothesis's that have been answered and can be used to predict something.

So when your crazy uncle/friend/co-worker says 'i have a theory that they're turning the damn frogs gay and I'm going to prove it.' They actually mean hypothesis. Why is this important? Cause words matter, that crazy person would be taken a lot less seriously if they didn't use words they didn't understand.

I did too once he rose again.

Difficult, with a small supply of doctors and a high demand from patients. What would you pay to save your child's life?

This comment needs to be put on top. I am not American but I did live there for a short time installing very big machinery, and I'm glad to be out of there.The Republicans who are doing this think a pride flag is equivalent to putting up a sign that says 'kill kids'. Which you can't do, free speech doesn't cover overt threats to crime or violence.

That's how far gone these people are, they have drank so much of the kool-aid they perceve every pride flag as an overt call to crime and violence. They perceve the existence of LGBTQ+ as an overt threat to crime or violence. At this point they're too far gone to bring back. They're so full of misinformation and vitriol that they only things they can feel anymore are fear, pride, and rage; it's kind of of like Ingsoc in 1984 using those exact emotions to manipulate their people. It's bad.

Oh absolutely, taken in a greater context which I totally neglected to say that's absolutely true.

Big dihydrogen monoxide. Private dihydrogen monoxide companies made approx. $303 billion globally in 2022. This number doesn't include governments selling this stuff too. No one tells you that on the low end this stuff kills 300,000 + people a year globally. Look-up in Google "HOH chemical", and you'll learn everything you need to know about dihydrogen monoxide.
