What do we want?

For police who commit crimes to have accountability!

What do we get?

We're going to yell at people who use the 'outdated' 'master/slave' terminology!

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

So you're saying copyright infringement is on par with speeding or parking past the meter's end? Eh, fair enough.

If you do something illegal, you should be arrested.

Copyright infringement lawsuits are a far cry from bomb threats or the like.

Eh, sometimes "No, thank you" is also appropriate.

I could never bear to watch any of his speeches. Too cringe painful.

Damn, I would have simply blocked the troll long before this! You have the patience of a saint.

Huh, I haven't really heard people call her "Nancy". Last time I recall her coming up amongst Republicans, it was "Pelosi" with a reference to the attack on her husband.

I was having this conversation the other day. Pelosi came up as a counterexample.

Now I'm not sure where the line is between subtle disrespect and simply using the more distinctive part of a candidate's name.

As others have said, congrats on the new build :)

I assembled a desktop* for myself in 2021 after a long run on an ol' Dino Laptop. I had similar feelings - a LOT had changed. I was able to avoid RGB for all the internal components, but it did take some looking.

RGB lights on memory, etc. look nice if you have a window in your case and keep it on your desktop - doubling as artwork. I've seen some very pretty-looking builds out there!

*Deskbottom would be more like it. I keep the case on the floor under my desk.

I'm not mad about it, I just think it's funny that videos have taken over from images.

Why does that upset/startle you? Pregnancy at age 35+ is associated with more risks than pregnancy in the 20s.

Imgur should really rename itself as vidyer. Seems like it's mostly videos these days!

I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing "pdoman" in commands by mistake.

Do you taste metal?

I used to have a cat who did this. He would lead me to the bathroom, jump into the tub, and then wait patiently until I turned on the bath faucet -- just a trickle!

Good idea for those who are covered by the GDPR. Doesn't help me, though.

Don't regret too much. I wouldn't be surprised if reddit's "delete" function was really just "move to the "suckers-wanted-to-delete-this" file.

What would you call it? What's your objection to the term "employee benefits"? You sound like you have an axe to grind, but I don't get your angle.

I don't think you can blame it all on Obamacare. I vividly remember wondering "How TF do people with families afford this?!" when looking at the individual vs. family insurance at a job back in 2002. Premiums were skyrocketing then, and they've been skyrocketing ever since.
