I always preferred (pirated) streaming services over local streaming

I suggest having a backup of some of your favourite media anyway. You never know when a service will be taken down.

What services are you using, if you don’t mind me asking?

I decided against using Github for my personal stuff since it’s owned by Microsoft.

I can’t help but feel a little bit smug every time it shits the bed nowadays.

With the obvious caveat that I’m not a lawyer and this is my opinion - The only way this makes any sense to me is if Luigi wants to become a martyr.

There’s no way he’s going to get any sort of leniency - he killed a wealthy person. The search, Luigi’s arrest, and the trial have all been a performative farce; an attempt to dissuade anybody else from getting the same idea. They aren’t going to stop just because he pled guilty.

For people who want to know why - it makes the pronunciation less ambiguous for non-English speakers, since the NATO Alphabet was developed for use by English, French, and Spanish speakers.

You don’t punch a hole through it so you can put it horizontally? For shame.

Binary prefixes are stupid and unnecessary. Yes, I know “kilo” means 1000, not 1024, I don’t care because it’s obvious from context. RAM manufacturers know what’s up - I’ve never seen the word “gibibyte” or “GiB” written on a stick of RAM.

I also hate these stupid bandwagon pet peeves:

Pineapple on pizza is great and if you disagree you don’t have to eat it.

There’s nothing inherently gross about the word “moist”.

Toilet paper orientation doesn’t matter at all.

There’s a sweet spot. Unpopular opinions that get upvoted need to be trivial enough to not make anybody uncomfortable or angry.

Something like “Toilet paper orientation doesn’t matter” is far more likely to be upvoted by somebody who disagrees with it than “Everything bad that happens to your children is your fault because you knew it was a possibility and had them anyway”.

You guys are getting ads?

Exactly.

The moral of every Hollywood Racism Movie^TM ends up boiling down to “We could eliminate racism if only every racist met a person of [RACE] that they actually liked.”

Practically everything people say about imaginary numbers you could also say about negative numbers.

Also… wrong about what?

I guess the main thing is that it’s not just one person saying “I looked at the code and didn’t find any malware” - depending on the size of the project it could be millions of people saying that. Also, changes to programs generally have to be approved by the maintainer, so it can be pretty difficult to slip malicious changes in unnoticed.

The arrangement isn’t perfect, but keep in mind that closed-source software also requires trust on the part of the users - It’s just that in that case nobody can vet the code.

I mean, at least two billion people are Christian, so presumably they care. And that doesn’t even include the rest of us who get screwed over by Christian-conservative doublethink bullshit.

It absolutely matters.

I hear they like arrows.

I could maybe understand if they were starting a business - since they can take a lot of time and effort to get off the ground. Of course that comes with the assumption that eventually they can stop spending so much time.

I’ve started thinking that “workaholism” is just a societally approved method of avoidance. Most self-described workaholics I’ve met are men who seem to dislike their wives and children. Working all the time lets them “provide for the family” while never actually being there for them.

Edit: I feel like I should point out that sometimes people do actually need to work so much to provide for their family - those aren’t the people I’m talking about.

Ignorance is not knowing things.

Stupidity is refusing to learn things.

It’s almost like putting tariffs on everybody who looks at you strangely and threatening to annex your allies will cause them to stop trusting you.

Does Stormy Daniels have enough experience to live up to the throat goat?

It did, but Reddit is horribly addictive.

I really hope this ends up being the push I need to quit Reddit.
