Fuck, my condolences.

It becomes its own thing. Like if you hear the word "truther" out of context you wouldn't be blamed for thinking that it refers to someone who takes the truth very seriously. But in the context if a "9/11 truther" it means the opposite: someone who is completely dissociated from reality.

When a movement adopts a word as its name, it's like the word splits in two: one with the original meaning and one which refers to the group and means whatever that group stands for. Which one becomes dominant basically depends on what version the mainstream media uses more often. It's a zeitgeist thing.

I am not the guy you responded to but I am interested.

Because in my ignorant head, the big problem with anarchy (I use the word broadly to mean "a lack of government" mostly because I don't know any better) is: what's stopping an ill-intentioned mob from making itself a de facto government little by little through coercion when people can't resort to a system that concentrates and organizes the otherwise sparse powers of society that want to uphold the state of anarchy? It's like you'd need a government to ensure that there's no government, which is clearly absurd.

Thank you! I very much have that predisposition. I've noticed that I have addictive behavior towards sugar and caffeine as well (I'm fine as long as I don't have any, but if I have some I'll continue to crave more at shorter and shorter intervals until I go to sleep and it resets), and recently celebrated my third month nicotine free after about four years total smoking and then vaping.

Addictive proclivities are a personal defect normally. But when you exist in a context where there are people whose job it is to get you hooked on things, they become a handicap.

I was a young idiot making minimum wage and I spent 500 dollars in a gacha game over a three month period. It's been years and I still wake up at night, remember this and feel the strongest remorse.

The decision on this hexagram mentions making an offering with two bowls, so I like to think she's presenting the offering of fruits laying before her.

Sure, but you're saying that you'd call this "badly drawn" if it were made by a human. And the reasons you're giving are that it isn't realistic. But the two aren't the same.

Wouldn't that count more as a critique of the style than of the technique?

Thanks, people don't usuallt recognize it! They're one of my favorite bands.

One reason would be that with an iPhone, you're paying two to five times the price of an Android phone with comparable hardware.

This has absolutely nothing to do with ReVanced.

You mean like literally every single attempt at DRM since the Big Bang?

Ketamine does a lot of good for a lot of people. Don't knock on a genuinely life-saving medicine just because Elmo can't handle his drugs.

Did anyone expect any different? Bragging like he'd already won before, making an ass out of himself during, downplaying it after. That's par for the course with Trump. It's how he dealt with every single one of his court hearings as well.

Actually, sudo can be used to run a command as any other user. Superuser is merely the default when none is specified.

As if? He IS a mentally decrepit narcissist on drugs.

It's written "pseudo", a prefix in old Greek meaning fake (as in pseudopod). "sudo" is a Linux command to run a command or script as another user.

Very interesting, I had never heard of this.

This is just one of the many reasons why our current IP laws are complete and utter garbage.

Anybody who needs to be told this is either a newborn or braindead.
