We analyzed thousands of gallons: here's the proof that water is wet.

In the before times you would buy a new album and listen to it from start to finish, several times. It was Tuesday.

I still enjoy listening to music in album form. I can think of many songs that are not discrete pieces of art without the track(s) before and after.

A local radio station once played "Golden Slumbers" without also playing "carry that weight" and they apologized for it the next day.

It's always confused me when people make a huge distinction between friendship and romance. By my thinking, a romantic relationship is a type of friendship. Like squares and rectangles.

The idea that you could be in a committed relationship with someone who's not your friend seems bizarre and hostile somehow.

I don't understand. Why does Brave not exist? Is it because the developer is a chud? Fair enough. Is it because it's Chrome? If so, does that apply to Vivaldi?

This is DEI for robots. If you have to lower the standards to qualify; you don't.

There is an English equivalent: burgher. (pronounced like hamburger)

It just means a "person of town". And you don't have to memorize ludicrous French spelling.

This is part of a global push to end anonymity on the internet. And it's not about surveillance by the State or even censorship, it's about surveillance by capital. The State want's to control everyone who's a threat. Capital wants the same thing, just without the last three words.

If insurance companies were getting hosed by injured people, why don't they look into ways that cars might cause fewer injuries instead of abandoning the injured?

Capitalism is the enemy of reason.

It's omnivores that get +2 to int. Predators put all their points into str and dex.

This is a constitutional amendment, y'all realize that's a generational project, right? Impeachment and removal are trivial by comparison.

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
