This is explosm. They don’t do the level of subtle distinctions you’re talking about.

One accusation from her abusive family, as an excuse for not taking proper care of her, does not make for a credible diagnosis or reason to post this here.

My dns config options always have at least two spots. Obviously, this means I need two piholes to fill them both up.

More seriously, it has actually saved my network from going down a couple times already.

The joke is that the OP grabbed pictures of old people with one superficial trait that matches the original characters. Two if they’re feeling lucky. Curly hair, a bandanda, effiminate hair (with miss-matched genders), a famous white dude with a vaguely similiar frown.

The blatant everything disparity is the whole joke.

That bed is not at all fine.

Ah, I think there’s a bit of a disagreement here between what types of art are respectable and what types aren’t. For context, I subscribe to the definition of art that says “everything made with intent” is some form or other of art.

Suppose you go to a gallery. Would you consider handicap-hostile architecture, which is part of the exhibit itself, to be worth respecting as a art enthusiast? (Stairs required to be used in order to see a painting, specifically because the artist wants you tired from walking, not pushing a wheelchair, which they don’t like, when you look at it, for example.)

I could see it both ways, but I fall more on the side of accessibility. If an artist requires someone to use stairs to see their art, they are an asshole, regardless of how good their paintings actually are.

My 2019 Toyota corolla can go 120mph. My statement wasn’t about capabilities, it was about the sheer stupidity of driving those speeds at basically anywhere not set aside for it.

120kph is about 75 mph. So for this meme, 240 kph or so. Very much a speed you don’t want to be going anywhere near a city, or a highway with a curve in it in the next five miles.

Lmaooo he knows what he’s doing.

Me too, honestly. Finally found something that was actually a joy to share.

Honestly, yeah. Bazxite looks neat, but it’s new and I’m still not sure what the point of it is, beyond a little bit of nerdy software management features.

Ubuntu is … gestures vagely … Ubuntu. Regular debian doesn’t really work well for steam related activities, and I haven’t actually tried fedora in ages but it looks to be doing okay at least.

It’s just, mint is so basic, but that’s honestly its greatest selling point. I love having good fundamental be the main selling point.

Defaulting to nano without explicit user consent will be considered a class c user experience violation

One step forward, two steps back. I always hate how politicians can be so accommodating of the popular minority while still being so discriminatory against the less popular ones.

I’ll give you ‘satire’. But I don’t really agree with ‘critiques’. The lesson i got from the movie was “stupid people can’t really have empathy, so they just need to shut up and let actual smart people do the important work”, and also eugenics.

If it was critiquing the modern corporate structure, it would have included actual critiques of the modern corporate structure, rather than a single poor idiot in charge of a big company who should have just let the smart guy fix it all for him. In short, comapnies as they are would’ve worked if only the smart people were in charge of them.

It’s very much a thing. The smaller the company you’re purchasing from, the more likely you’ll find a counterfeit product of theirs available for cheaper. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/06/how-us-small-businesses-are-fighting-counterfeiting-in-china.html

I get the white-label / drop shipping distinction. It’s why I mentioned them both. I also get that chinese manufacturers can make new stuff too. It’s why I didn’t say shit like “china never innovates or makes new products, they only steal”.

The difference between a white label (drop shipped) product and a counterfeit made at the same factory on a different work shift is impossible to discern.

You literally can’t know if what you’re buying is original or not anymore.

China has a huge counterfeit industry, and amazon is complicit in helping them out with it. https://daxueconsulting.com/counterfeit-products-in-china/ https://www.marketingscoop.com/consumer/amazon-fake-products-policy/

Basically, anyone wanting to make anything has two options for manufacturing; in house, and in china. In house is way more expensive, and much less likely to result in profits. In china is incredibly easy and much cheaper, but as soon as you ask for them to pause making your product, they turn around and rebrand it and sell it for much cheaper everywhere they can (Temu, amazon, etc).

Another part is that a lot of manufacturing companies don’t speak English, so there is a whole industry of people who know Chinese manufacturers who will sell their translation and industry contact services. Super helpful when you have a good relationship with them, but the instant that turns even slightly sour, you discover the major downside of having a middleman between you and your product tooling: you have absolutely no power to stop anyone in china from using your tooling to make cheap knockoffs of your product, legal or otherwise.

The other part is that they depicted the corporations as completely innocent idiots too; “the computer said the money went away so I had to fire people and now they’re all rioting in the streets!” As if the company wasn’t at fault for all of that.

Nah, the fighter is just being stubborn about magic items. If he’d asked for real help the wizard would’ve been happy to give the fighter a temp magic weapon or whatever.

I had thought that another part of it was the levels of harm compared to the problem; getting pregnant is incredibly stressful and possibly harmful, up to and including death as a possibility. A medicine that can stop that but has side affects that are less harmful than pregnancy is a lot more palatable. Whereas, for men, the harm caused by pregnancy is zero, so any harm caused by the pill is weighed a lot heavier.

F*CK

This guy clearly doesn’t actually fuck.
