  Present and amounted for.

  I’m not saying I like it, it’s just the way it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i hate myself and i want to die lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mean to imply your job with writing your thesis on it is easy, the proof needed would be no easy task.

  But it’s hard to flip through a history book and stop on any page, and not find something on the page that’s harmful to nature.

  Proving that it’s harmful would be the part that’s hard. Finding the occurrences of harm is easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i hate myself and i want to die lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like an easy subject. Just saying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shower. I hate the wet place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk, I’ve never tried to run 30 year old games on modern systems.

  I’m just not that nostalgic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And? How does this indicate the daily active player counts for the games supported and not supported?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not going to throw doubt on the 90% number. Statistics are made up and generally don’t mean anything. “90% of games” … In what context? Games on steam? Games ever made? I don’t think I’m going to be playing sierra titles from the 90s… What about Flash based games that used to run in a browser? Do they count?

  I don’t know and it doesn’t matter.

  The only thing I want to say is that the “10%” that don’t work are usually pretty popular.

  I’d like to see this metric based on average player counts. What percentage of gamers, playing games right now, could play on Linux.

  IMO, that would give a much more relevant indication of how viable it is for most gamers to switch to Linux.

  I’m still using Windows 10 and no, I didn’t buy their extended bullshit. I don’t even run the latest version of Windows 10. I also have an update server setup so I don’t usually get updates often because I need to go approve them. But I also work in IT and I’ve seen every social engineering attack type that’s been used since the 90s and I know when to not click on something. I haven’t needed an anti virus on my personal system in 20 years.

  To say I’m not worried about it is an understatement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno why where it’s being used would be relevant… Unless horses are scientists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Would if I could. Implants would be far too expensive for me.

  I agree that humanity is most likely a mistake. What have we done that’s so great that warrants our continued, independent and unchecked existence?

  Yeah, we’ve done some cool stuff, like making big buildings, and technology… But I can’t think of anything humanity has done that benefited anyone other than us. We are the benefactors of everything we do. No matter how much we to to do for nature, it’s only mitigating the damage we have caused, at best. We are a disaster for the Earth and for nature.

  If we were to stop existing, the plants and animals would take back the land, slowly but surely, and almost everything that made us special or unique would erode away. Our entire history would be lost to time, and nobody would care in the slightest.

  Our existence is nonsense and pointless beyond whatever purpose we assign to ourselves.

  I realized this many years ago, in my early 20s. Since then I’ve been working to make others happy, since I don’t really have any goals of my own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t say it was always the case.

  This statement just seems like agreement to me… Idk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s already too late for my teeth. most are falling out already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To the title, that’s always been the case.

  “no child left behind” turned into “make it easier until everyone passes” Shit isn’t new. it’s been going on for a long, long ass time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “little hand”, “big hand” kind of stuff… yeah, I vaguely recall going over that when I was in JK/SK, possibly in the first few grade levels. IDK, I’m old now, so I don’t remember a lot of what happened when I was around 6.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t undersell all of the life lessons you learned from being the age you are.

  Part of the reason why kids seem so dumb is because they don’t have that life experience yet. They’re still figuring it out. I’m sure that when I was a kid people looked at me and thought I was pretty dumb, just like many adults do to the kids now. blave has the right attitude about it; teach them. Someone has to. If everyone shrugs it off that someone will do it, then nobody does it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and I had to read cursive all the time, since my boomer parents used it constantly. When you read it regularly, it doesn’t take any longer to read than block letters.

  I never used cursive because I never got into enough of a habit of using it before technology made the skillset unnecessary. I think I write down one thing a month? if that? I use computers the rest of the time, whether it’s the small rectangle that fits in my pocket, the larger folding rectangle that goes in my backpack, or the larger cube like one that sits under my desk at home… I use computers about 1000x more than a pen.

  That doesn’t change the fact that I can look at cursive and know what it says as instantly as if it were typed text. Me not being able to, or simply not writing cursive is entirely a me problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They do. Ever have “banana flavor” stuff that doesn’t seem to taste anything like a banana?

  … well, it does, it just doesn’t taste like a Cavendish banana. It most likely resembles the tates of the gros michel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why? Are you one of those lazy millennials?!

  (I’m a millennial btw, and I agree that this stuff is really dumb)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, I’m sure Mayo isn’t going anywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I’ve seen this concoction before. It looks really good, and it probably would be if it wasn’t Mayo and instead was like… Idk, whipped cream or something as the base… But no. Fucking Mayo.

  I’m pretty sure this stuff is the reason I have a grudge against Mayo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not lost forever. They have seeds in the global seed vault, and there’s a few small growers still producing them.

  You can actually buy a box of them still. They’re expensive as all hell, but you can do it.

  Get a few friends together and put some money into a pot, then buy a box and have a banana party.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At least it’s tasty blood?

  Idk, I’m trying to find the silver lining here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Everything is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and it’s still pretty common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you need to play country music in reverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve spent way too long on the Internet.

  Because I actually understand this.

  I should probably spend less time on the Internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨#environmentalist⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.

  (Sorry, someone had to do it correctly)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon uses the internet like a normie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of a black mirror episode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The people in the video media industry…

  I thought that would have been obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High fashion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! I hate it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For years and years they convinced us we need bigger, better TVs with surround sound and all the add-ons. That every person should build their own home theatre

  Then they get mad that we stop going to their theatre.
