I really think that "killed" is the wrong term. It is far too neutral. The correct word here would be "murdered".

Who's dying on what hill now?

That would be wonderful. The current way that the world has been "working" for a good while now makes me think it unlikely, unfortunately. The vast majority of technological innovation in the last half-century has been used to extract wealth and replace options available to the non-ultra-wealthy with inferior substitutes that are cheaper to make, often for the same effective cost.

I would say that I think it's weird because I think shaved pubes are weird (and experienced horrific razor burn when I tried it back in college).

Sounds like you are a fucking rockstar dad though. That's a very vulnerable thing to think about asking your parent for a teenage boy. Lots of self-consciousness and trying to figure oneself out. That he felt comfortable asking you says a lot. That you stepped up to ensure that he knew how to do so safely says a lot too.

I often wonder if I’m alone in that policy.

You're not.

I had to look it up a few months back. But then I remembered that there was this whole big thing that I thought was uninteresting and forgot about.

Thank you for your diligence.

Life long windows user. I switched to Arch

Fuck. That's like going straight from English breakfast tea to hash oil.

I've been using Linux almost exclusively both in my personal and professional life for a decade and a half. I only installed Arch a month or two ago.

I'm more into (neo)vim but that is beautiful.

As an end goal?

Fuck no. As an appetizer. Make those that would prey upon the weak and vulnerable afraid to ever leave their beds in the morning, look out their windows, or answer their phones lest they be found for what they are and face an inevitability of being stripped of everything they have and forced to contribute to society or, if they refuse, kept safe somewhere that they can never harm anyone.

Another side of me would prefer something a bit more brutal involving pikes used as public displays to serve as warning to the rest. But, that isn't realistically productive and probably stems from statistically unlikely survival of early childhood experience.

When you realize that most extremely to ultra wealthy people are idiots propped up by their underlings, it makes more sense.

Technically correct (still the best kind of correct). However, the meaning has changed a but due to the word's falling into disuse. Colloquially, it is now used as a mid-point between overwhelmed and underwhelmed, describing a situation as a mundane experience. Not disappointing, too stimulating, or even satisfying; just neutral ("Tell my wife I said 'Hello'").

I was also making a timezone joke :D

Spain is in UTC or UTC+1. I'm on UTC-8. 11AM for Spain is 3AM for me, making it easy for me to have a not-too-crazy evening and still be in bed before 11AM UTC.

That's really easy though. And without getting plastered. Just start at about 5 or 6 and have one drink an hour. Then, with a bit of self-control and go to bed before 1 in the morning and you've 2 hours to spare.

So... Judging by recent trends in AI, this will be used to devalue the labor of surgeons and be provided as the only option available to people who are not rich. People will die from what would get a human charged with neglegent homicide but, it will be covered up and, when it comes to light just how dangerous it is, nothing will happen because all of the regulatory agencies have been dismantled.

If you really want to send a message, you'll want to switch the horse head with a keyboard from a VT100 terminal with its cable cut in the middle of the curls.

Cat in the Hat. Kid's got a while life ahead of them to get depressed about the vile things humans have done (and still do) to each other. Let the kid have a few months of happiness.

Sounds like the American Baptists should get on that. Then again, they believe strongly in separation of church and state.

(They're the sect that remains of the original Triennial Convention AKA Baptists, after the Slaver Southern Baptists left because they didn't like the idea of chattel slavery being considered wrong. Seriously. The split occurred because they refused to ordain a guy from Georgia as a missionary in 1844, on account of him being slaver trash.

The modern Southern Baptist Church, horrifyingly the largest sect of protestant Christianity in the US, is directly descended from them, and it shows.)
