- Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers. 1 week ago:
What’s interesting is that some people read this and think it means “bigotry isn’t a problem anymore”, instead of “the rich use bigotry to control the masses”. You have to address bigotry as well as the economic issues.

Okay, they “don’t pay taxes”, but the government still takes the money and then returns it if they ask for it (i.e. file a tax return). That isn’t quite the same as not paying.
Also, you have to be stupidly poor to get all of your taxes returned.
- Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered. 1 week ago:
I’m not trying to defend BestBuy or DoorDash. This is entirely on the driver.
You are defending BestBuy in the very next sentence.
Doordash is designed to deliver food, not expensive electronics. You can bet that if somebody designed a delivery service for electronics, they wouldn’t make it this easy to steal shit. If the driver decides to take your food and eat it themselves, you’re out…what? $25-35? A $700+ laptop is a whole other level.

I don’t look both ways before crossing the street, and I’ve never been hit! It must be safe!

It’s the name of another precious metal with one letter removed. Star Trek writers are so lazy.

I don’t think that we need million-dollar movies. And, no, I don’t think that humans would quit making art if you removed the profit motive. We’ve been making art going all the way back to pre-history, and most of those artists were not wealthy. Art wasn’t something created by capitalism in order to get people to fork over dollars for the latest Marvel Cinematic Explosion.

We also wouldn’t have any media if everyone pirated.

If nobody copied, a lot of media would get lost to time.

Some guys don’t like pink, don’t like smelling like flowers, don’t want to wear dresses.
“Some”? I would say “most”. Why do you think that is? Just a coincidence?

The fucking gender-norm police. Typically older folks. I once had people snickering at me for holding a bag with the crook of my arm, instead of the manly way, with my hand. And you better not cross your legs the wrong way when you’re sitting!

It’s called “soap”, people, and if you want to reduce waste (and save money), you buy it in a bar, not a bottle.

I am a biological woman. I identify as such.
Do you mean a cis woman?
Or are you trying to separate yourself from robot women?

People had much less empathy than they do now. Steven Pinker talks about this in The Better Angels of Our Nature.

Could you maybe explain to them that a broken hymen doesn’t necessarily mean that she’s had sex?

But if you can turn that shit on like a tap why not do for everyone?
I would think because they aren’t aware of it.

I don’t follow you. Trump’s delivering on his promises, so women shouldn’t vote?

That’s funny. I have no problem drawing circles in GIMP.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
People learned on Photoshop, and then they’re upset because GIMP does things differently. I guarantee you if somebody had learned on GIMP first, it would be the other way around.
There’s nothing intuitive about Photoshop. If you pick it up with zero knowledge and try to do anything, you can’t. You have to take a class to learn how to use it, same as GIMP.

Sorry, Joplin is a nightmare. I want something that stores Markdown in flat files, not a database with changing versions where one version of the db doesn’t work in another version.
I tried to port the database over from another system, but the new version of Joplin wouldn’t read from the old version’s database, and it would corrupt the database when I tried to open it. What a crock of shit. I had to figure out how to dump the data from the tables using sqlite.
I use nb now instead. It is a bit wonky because it uses NodeJS, but you can view and edit files in a web browser, and it saves each entry as a .md file, which is the sane and rational way to do it. So, if nb ever fucks off, I have all my work in a directory of Markdown files, not some broken-ass sqlite database.

Although staying hydrated will keep your energy levels up, tea has caffeine in it, too. As long as you’re eating food once in awhile, you don’t need to worry about electrolytes.

I have ADHD, and it’s the opposite: I’m very sensitive to caffeine.
