  • One that I didn't know about was the pronounciation of "Arab".

    I've heard "air-ab" and I've heard "a-rab". I thought they were both just different pronounciations. Turns out "a-rab" is offensive, and racist. I literally grew up being babysat as a kid by a family of arabs, and didn't find this out until I was 28.

    I have no memory of if I ever pronounced the word wrong around any of them, and now I cringe looking back. I must not have offended them. They always accepted me as one of their own.

  • I mean.......do we want to tear it down?

    Apple is apple. They don't make false claims about how walled off they are.

    Android is android. And for people who want to strip out all the google stuff, you can. And you can use F-Droid exclusively.

    But look at the typical apple user. Do you think they're going to be happy without the apple experience?

    Some things are for you, other things are NOT for you. Letting both exist is an option.

  • Nah. We're going to serve you apple pie and crippling medical debt! The American way!

    Now pay us $65,000 for the insulin you need from eating our American pie. You're now 300lbs, and have diabetus....

  • I don't understand this.

    Does this mean Windows programs and exe files will now run natively on linux?

    Edit: unclear why someone asking a question gets a 50/50 downvote to upvote response....

    "OOOOHHHH!!!!! THIS GUY DOESN'T KNOW ALL THE THINGS I KNOW!!!! BOOOOO!!!!!"

  • In the 1980s the trend of the day was patriotism.

    In the 1990s the trend of the day was being a rebel.

    In the 2000s, there started to become a divide on what the trend ofthe day was. You were either pro patriotism/pro war.....or, you were anti war/pro protesting. At least in the USA.

    2010s the trend of the day was culture wars and division.

    2020s, the trend of the day seems to be batshit lunacy and mindnumbing stupidity.

    It's 2025. We have 5 more years to go. And with trump having 4 more of those years, I expect no change there.

    God I hope the 2030s bring some kind of sanity, unity, and enlightenment.

    Or, barring that, I'd also settle for UFOs visiting earth and allowing humans to leave earth. I mean seriously. How bad could other planets be, right? I mean their species is clearly more advanced then ours. I figure humans had their shot. Now I'll roll the dice and give these grey guys a shot, right? What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

    And hey, if they're the anal probe kind of aliens, that's just a bonus.....uhhhh......I mean......what? No no, I didn't say that. I'm just some random straight dude looking to leave this planet with some grey dudes I just met.
