  To claim a subdomain in the DNS system you have to have the domain first.

  My motorcycle dealer has a similar sign about being sad and ugly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate that that happens⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “That that” can and probably should be replaced with “that which” in almost every instance it is used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve left two jobs because they were toxic. I always had something else lined up beforehand though.

  I’m not saying it doesn’t work. I’ve set several things from GoG up using Lutris. But in Steam it’s a two step process:

  1. Click Install
  2. Click Play

  I want that level of ease from GoG.

  Now can we get proton support for GoG that is as convient and reliable as it is in Steam?

  … the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization which is, of course, what this is all about.

  Have you ever actually tried doing it? Yes it works and works well. But damn is it a lot of labor to keep everything growing correctly and to harvest it all.

  Much like all of life. Expectations cause suffering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a "tax write off"?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A write off is a colloquialism that refers to reducing your effective taxed income. A more realistic example would be, let’s say you make $250k, but you’re self employed and spent $50k on business expenses like a car and office space. Then you can write off that $50k and only pay taxes like you made $200k.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a “sovereign citizen “?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are people who have fallen for and/or are grifting for a deeply unhinged conspiracy theory that national laws don’t apply to them if they do some certain set of pseudo legal things. What exactly those things are, as well as what laws don’t apply to them,vary widely, but are usually centered around driver’s licenses and car registration, tax evasion and not paying child support.

  Past that it’s hard to explain what their beliefs are because it is so vague and ever changing.
