Ubuntu, installed on a 256 gb flash drive as an experiment back in 2020. My first daily driver distro was Mint last year, then KDE Neon, and finally Kubuntu today

Distro doesn’t matter to me anymore, I just like the Plasma DE and will use anything that uses it. Eventually I’m gonna have to try Arch with it and make my own Steam machine

I almost added that, but I’ll be real, I have no clue what a junior programmer is lmao

For all I know it’s the equivalent to a journeyman or something

“Programmers are cooked,” he says in reply to a post offering six figures for a programmer

This is a job for water detectors, which I have no qualms about connecting to the internet. They have the added benefit of detecting leaky pipes as well

Personally I would much rather touch my phone with my dirty hands than a toilet handle

I have become the red shirt from my favorite SMBC comic

However, my feelings regarding smart devices remain intact

Day 3,801 of thanking God I was born a Luddite

Anyone who thought their toilet would be improved by having an internet connection deserves this

Jesus Christ. Even if I do think the story is fictional, I could believe that our current media landscape has been ruined by advertising firms.

Here’s an example of a scissor topic that I’ve been calling out for years: the Israel-Palestine conflict. It’s designed to be something that divides people. Not inviting your israel-supporting aunt to Thanksgiving and blocking your Palestine-supporting nephew is what the Man wants. That conflict, for as strongly as people feel about it here, does not matter to Americans. Nearly as many people have died fighting in the Myanmar civil war, and I don’t know a single person who even has an opinion on that.

I’m really curious where I said that. Wanting something doesn’t mean you only want said thing, and the vast majority of men generally want to have sex with women. You can ask them, and they’ll tell you as much.

Besides that, you’ve managed to miss my point entirely: that the original question is different on a fundamental level when you ask a woman versus a man. Meeting a random man in the woods is significantly more dangerous if you are a woman than it is if you are a man, and that’s a bit of nuance that a lot of guys don’t consider. Instead of taking it personally, and feeling like women think you specifically are evil, you should try to understand why women are so cautious around men. It’s not some irrational prejudice against us.

If you’re lost in the woods, would you rather run into a bear, or a man who is 10% larger than you and wants to have sex with you?

Hopefully this rephrasing of the question helps you understand the answer women tend to give a little better

I mean yeah that’s their point, the dose needed to OD on THC is bonkers, so it’s pretty much perfectly safe

Some of them are, you just have to scroll way way way down

It depends on where you live. Some regions have a limited list of acceptable names, some places just have limited lists of unacceptable names, but I can’t find anywhere that explicitly bans Null.

It does suck to be named Null, though. It’s like two steps down from not being given a social security number as an infant

I mean you can check my math, I just added up all the births per year in this article

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/06/12/how-many-people-were-born-the-year-you-were-born/111928356/

Rounding to one significant figure, it’s 311.9 million people born in the US between 1933 and 2018. Adding an average of 4 million births per year since then, it’s 335.9. I rounded up to 350 to bring it to a nice round number

A bit of research tells me that around 44.8 million of us are first generation immigrants, so 291.1 million were born here. Is it reasonable to assume that 291.1 out of the 335.9 million people born since 1933 have survived so far? I have absolutely no idea, I’m not a professional census taker

I don’t think we’ve gone through 999 million options yet. Only about 350 million people have been born since 1933, so even if we add all 127 million US citizens alive in 1935, that’s just over half of the possible social security numbers.

The reason we’ve likely reused numbers is because they weren’t randomly assigned until like 2011. Knowing that I was born in 1995 in Wichita, KS, you could make an educated guess at the first three digits of my SSN

No one said fuck you lol

A) Visit the country you want to support

B) Stop buying so much stuff

I’m not trying to throw any shade at you, but it’s kind of sad when the the question isn’t “how do I get by without buying stuff,” but rather “what can I buy more of to improve the situation?”

Wait. I can’t go to Canada, buy a jacket for 20 CAD, and bring it back to the US without paying a tariff on it?
