Go vegan
I swear vegans are eventually going to out class religious people for pushing their own beliefs.

Sony is just as bad in their own ways.
- Comment on Will Smith Zombie Game No One Has Heard Of Bombs 7 months ago:
I genuinely have no interest in anything he does any more
This was me when he started trying to shoehorn his kid into the spotlight with those cringe interviews and that really awful movie about not being scared of aliens or whatever. I care about it so little that I can’t remember the name of the movie and have zero interest in looking it up.
This comment about not caring about Will Smith is the maximum effort I’m willing to put into anything related to him.
- Comment on That gourmet luxury blend... 7 months ago:
At least the ingredients are being honest. It’s a massive problem around the world. They even have insanely sophisticated testing machines that are even fooled sometimes.
- Comment on This shouldn’t be normalised 7 months ago:
I understand the legal meaning. It’s all hogwash regardless. Nearly everything can be explained away as legitimate interests by claiming “marketing research” and “advertising”.
- Comment on This shouldn’t be normalised 7 months ago:
And what exactly qualifies as “legitimate interest”?

If you’re able to tug hard enough to break the panel with a little suction cup then I don’t know what to tell you.
- Comment on A gnat died inside my monitor near center. 7 months ago:
If it simply died (and didn’t squish it like I did on mine) you can get something with a small suction cup (about an inch in diameter), place it over the area with the gnat, and then GENTLY tug to show it to fall down.
- Comment on The hardest workers get the smallest pay. 11 months ago:
In all fairness, this doesn’t sound like an exactly fair comparison. If it’s a small business with only 6 people (7 including the owner) then he’s a lot more exposed financially than a larger company. It means he doesn’t have any of the protections that a larger or incorporated company would benefit from. If anything major goes sideways, then he’s finished. The workers can, in theory, pick up and go find a new job somewhere, but the owner could be financially ruined (this happened to my dad and he never recovered. Although to be fair to him, he busted his back working alongside everyone else, sometimes even longer than them).
The amount someone gets paid isn’t always a direct ratio for how much physical effort they put into something.
I don’t know your boss or anything, so I’m not trying to contradict you, I’m just pointing out something that came to my mind.

Then we must have had a feature regression for a few hundred years, because I haven’t seen a
guillotineGC trigger for a very long time now. - Comment on Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission 1 year ago:
Yes. Easy as (if not easier than) Windows, I’d argue.
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
“Rule 34” is something else from “Rules of acquisition”
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
#34 - War is good for business
#35 - Peace is good for business
- Comment on Why cant the Middle East just chill out? 1 year ago:
Rules of Acquisition number 34
- Comment on McDonald's franchisee group says new $20 minimum wage California fast-food bill will cause 'devastating financial blow' 1 year ago:
I live in a small town, McDonald’s is the only “fast food” place here until last week when a Popeye’s chicken opened. That place had been packed every day since they opened. You can get an equivalent meal for two at nearly the price of one meal at McDonald’s.
Plus the food at Popeye’s is way better.

- Comment on This mofo was born on the wrong day 1 year ago:
I’m happy that I taught the BA and project lead learned how to clear all site data for the application I work on. It has reduced the huge amount of
“the issue is still there!”
“Clear the cache”
“It works now”
And yes, I know I should be using something that notifies the browser to invalidate its cache. I’ll add it to my mile long list of tickets.
- Comment on Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff 1 year ago:
Hopefully I don’t have to manually tweak ALSA configs
I hope you’re just kidding. Because we’ve moved past ALSA to PulseAudio and then again over to Pipewire. Pulse was a bit rough, but Pipewire is fantastic.
Any distros you’d recommend?
I guess it depends on what you’ve been using server side. It would be helpful to say in the same family of distros. If you’ve been using Debian/Ubuntu based, then Mint is a good choice. Pop!_OS is a good choice too.
My very strong recommendation for DE would be KDE Plasma. It’s not like it used to be. Plasma is one of the fastest desktops now and even competes with the lightest DEs for memory usage.
- Comment on Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff 1 year ago:
The last time I used Linux on desktop was around 2007-2008
Oh dear lord! You have no idea how much things have improved. I think you’ll be in for a nice surprise.
Also, games work fine on Linux now. The only games that don’t work are ones with invasive anticheat. Or if a developer is stubborn, like FacePunch. I can’t play on official Rust servers, but connecting to a friend’s who has EAC disabled (it’s a private server), it works 100%.
- Comment on Are American tv shows stuck in Act 2 for their entire runtime between season 1 and final season? 1 year ago:
And then just think about how many fantastic sites get cancelled in their first or second seasons. I’m still bitter and upset by Almost Human.
