Feminism is anti-male. That's all it is.

And the entire topic of feminism was brought up to hijack a conversation about men. Moron.

It’s a problem when it’s done to hijack a conversation about women.

You're talking about feminism in a thread started about men's mental health.

Dearest Kettle,

I write to you on this auspicious occasion to bring into your awareness a matter which has consumed my attention as of late. It seems you bear a certain patina of the very darkest of colors, one might even go so far as to call you "black."

Eternally yours,

Pot

Sure, but if I'm stocking a ragnarok bunker I'm going to stick a Trek in there.

A gas chainsaw has a centrifugal clutch, so if it was "stuck engaged" the chain would move with the starter cord. You'd know it before you gave it a real yank.

If you're starting with the choke engaged, it's possible the engine will idle at a speed high enough to engage the clutch and move the chain. 2-stroke engines aren't real anyway, they're bullshit wrapped in metal that works because the fossil fuel industry demands them to, so their behavior is entirely unpredictable and contrary to the operator's needs.

A bicycle isn't a bad thing to have in an apocalypse. Not difficult to maintain, considerably faster and more efficient than walking, basically no infrastructure required.

True lies was a better executed tongue-in-cheek send up of the action movie genre, but Last Action Hero is a good and interesting movie.

See, THIS is a shitpost.

The cologne I used to wear had leading notes of lavendar and cracked pepper. A good rule of thumb is masculine scents tend to incorporate wood or spice notes, where feminine scents are straight floral or fruit notes.

There's a sea shanty to that effect.

Caring isn't a thing people do.

H'okay, so.

There was this guy called Richard Stallman. Way on back in the day he was working with Bell Labs' UNIX at the university he worked for, and he got kinda butthurt about the extremely restrictive licensing terms and exorbitant cost that Bell Labs offered the OS for. So Stallman decided he was going to make his own OS with blackjack and hookers and offer it for free to anyone who could make use of it. The Usenet post he made announcing his intention mentions he knows someone who might get them a computer. He named his new operating system GNU, for GNU's Not Unix. It's a recursive acronym, which was popular at the time, it's apparently another name for a wildebeest or water buffalo or something, and it's an unpronounceable mouthful of socket wrenches, so it's the trend setter for free software packages even all these decades later.

They built a whole bunch of really important software; a shell, core utilities, a C compiler, and applications like emacs. But they never got a working kernel going, the actual engine of the OS. They worked on their own thing they called HURD (which of course is a recursive acronym they put more thought into than the software itself), they gave up and tried to acquire an existing one to use, then went back to working on HURD. They never really got a system off the ground for lack of a kernel.

Then a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds piped up and said "Hey I built an OS kernel for the 386 IBM PC, it's not as big or as professional as GNU, but maybe you guys'll find it interesting." He was persuaded to release Linux under the GNU Public License 2.0, and it wasn't long after that that the first operating systems built on the Linux kernel and GNU coreutils entered distribution.

Linux is the name of some software, GNU is the sound you make when punched in the throat, so people quickly started just calling this emerging ecosystem simply "Linux." Much to the chagrin of Richard Stallman who feels he isn't getting credit for his work. This is his punishment for being the absolute worst at naming things.

Who would have guessed the world's least responsible person is a massive smackhead?

At least it's better than Red Hat.

I mean you lost me at "HBO."

Cockpit Resource Management is a crucial skill for the modern flight crew, especially during higher workload phases of flight. At one point they called it "Crew Resource Management" but altered the branding when they started applying it to single-pilot operations as well. It's not only effective communication with other members of your crew but other aircraft and air traffic control as well.

I doubt that.

Is his eye okay?

Stopped thinking

Using Nautilus or Dolphin.
