  • And is it comfortable? Or does it cut off circulation? People with larger penises need larger condoms, and that shouldn't be surprising. It's actually not legal to make condoms in the US large enough to cover some men on the larger end of the spectrum. Those guys often have to import condoms from the UK to get one that is comfortable.

    If you think "condoms can stretch over your arm" is a good argument, then I suggest doing it to yourself and keeping it on there for a good 20 minutes. See if it's comfortable.

  • At the end of Peter Pan, the Lost Boys along with Wendy and the other kids are tied to a mast while Captain Hook monologues at them. Peter has pushed Tinkerbell away, and she's fading out of existence. It seems all hope is lost.

    But then Peter gets an idea and begins to chant. "I do believe in fairies, I do, I do." Soon, they're all chanting it together. "I DO believe in fairies! I DO I DO!"

    And Tinkerbell pops back into existence to save the day. This is what faith is. The idea that if you believe in something hard enough it will pop into existence.

    Of course, it's a fantasy story for children. I can't believe grown adults think it's true, either. It's absolute insanity, agreed. But that's where Republicans have to meet their constituents, who apparently live in Never Never Land.

  • You didn't mention the ability to mount different drives and partitions to different directories. For example, I always keep /home on a different partition so I can reinstall my OS without worrying about data loss. You also can use tools like LVM to combine volumes into a single storage volume. Have a lot of games and want to install them all to one place? You can set up multiple large drives to act as a single volume. I guess you can do this with RAID utilities or something in Windows, but it's really not the same.

  • I really don't think this is unreasonable. Policy has effects. That's why we make it. If you support policy or vote for politicians on the grounds that they support policy that is harmful to others, you are contributing to violence. It's normal to be angry at people who commit acts of violence against you or others.

  • He hasn't. He's been ordered to pay out some ridiculous amount that he offered as a prize for a challenge. The challenge was to prove a set of IP data and network traffic capture that Lindell claimed was evidence of voting machine manipulation was actually not that. One guy took a look and determined the data to be completely irrelevant to the claim and proved it, then demanded his prize. Lindell didn't pay out, so got sued and ordered to pay it. This deposition footage is from a suit against him from Dominion Voting Systems. He hasn't escaped legal consequences at all.

  • I really like a lot about Gnome. It's things like getting rid of the system tray that don't make sense to me. I understand it's not in the system's ideology, but you can't force that on every application developer who still has to support that feature for other desktops. If it's a common application feature, then it's just broken on Gnome. That's a hard thing to sell me.

  • I am a daily Gnome user. There are many things which I actually dislike about Gnome, but I have solved them all through extensions. Fine, I'm not bothered because it can be customized.

    But every time they introduce something like this, it takes me a while to get a functional desktop back. It takes time for those extensions' developers to respond to these things. They have to research the change, implement it, test it, go through extra work to stay backward compatible, etc. These people aren't being paid for this, so it takes some time.

    I'm just frustrated about this. I know someday I will run updates and suddenly find all my extensions broken.

  • “What is it with liberals that want to control every damn aspect of your life?”

    The party of Don't Say Gay and Abortion Is Murder expect me to think that it's the liberals who want to exert control over my life?

    one of the first things they wanted to do was ban gas stoves

    Not true. Cruz is (probably intentionally) conflating two different Republican talking points here. The New York State issue mentioned here involves preventing the use of gas stoves with inadequate exhaust that leak illness-inducing gasses into upstairs living spaces, and even then people can get exemptions for this. The changes at the federal level are for making stoves more energy efficient. This can only help consumers.

    They’re trying to go after and regulate ceiling fans.

    They've proposed more energy efficient ceiling fan criteria for manufacturers. This can only help consumers.

    now these idiots have come out and said drink two beers a week, that’s their guideline.

    These "idiots" are an organization built around reducing alcoholism. I don't think they're idiots for suggesting that drinking more alcohol leads to more alcohol dependence. I also think it's probably not fair to categorize this org as liberal. It was created by Richard Nixon in 1970. It also has no executive or legislative capabilities as far as I can tell. It only reports information to the government and citizens. A "guideline" from the NIAAA is not a law and does not represent any amount of control over people's lives.

    Ted Cruz is a liar of the highest order. Newsmax is raw, uncut fascist propaganda. The only way to believe this shit is to be completely braindead, unwilling to do the 15 minutes of basic googling that I just did to form this comment, and unable to accept that the world they believe they live in doesn't align with reality.
