Warren Buffett maybe? At least I haven’t heard him be much of an asshole.

Gabe Newell is a billionaire and as far as I know awesome.

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

Yeah that’s a good one. Especially the first season, but the second ain’t bad either.

Throwing figures like that seems to be disinformation: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/aug/27/facebook-posts/no-consensus-cost-ending-homelessness-us-or-haltin/

Seems like USA spent $51 billion in 2021 to end homelessness: https://my.neighbor.org/what-is-the-cost-of-homelessness/ – I guess that’s nowhere near enough money thrown at the problem.

Yes and it’s awesome.

• Frieren was awesome but it’s so fresh I’m not absolutely sure it’ll keep being that

• Severance season 1 (follow-up seasons upcoming, not sure if they can keep up with the extremely high quality of S1)

• True Detective season 1

• Madoka was great, thanks to tight storytelling and the best soundtrack I’ve ever heard

• Kino’s Journey – somewhat similar to Frieren but 20 years prior

• Chernobyl (2019)

• Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

• Firefly

• Twin Peaks, especially seasons 1 and 3, but season 2 and the movie might be needed to fully appreciate

I dislike most forms of socialism but I like most socialists. So in that way this place is not bad.

Everybody who used Linux has died!

And/or will die.

I guess you’re referring to the part I edited out where I said that there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that life is supposed to be easy. I don’t think that contradicts humans trying to make life easy.

But it seems to me that a lot of meaning is derived from being at the limit of what is impossible and staying at the level of easy makes people depressed and unhappy.

You get to exist and understand that you do. That’s pretty huge already, as far as I can tell.

That might’ve been the plan all along.

No, and they never were. Hezbollah is clearly attacking Israel, however.

Certainly going for the people at the top will ultimately result in less killing. The alternative is to just try to kill all the Hezbollah members.

Is Hezbollah still attacking Israel?

I sure fucking hope it’s not 94% for Republicans.

I have been using X11 since 1996, and I never felt that it was very good. Sure, at the start it was better the then state-of-the-art desktop (Windows 95), mostly thanks to Linux, but that advantage went away in 2001 when OS/X was released. And even Windows went past it at some point, perhaps around Windows 7 or 8.

Wayland took a long time to get there, but it definitely is there today.

The person you replied to said that

All fascist ideologies will use the argument of “Protecting the children”

Did they? Did you just make a reverse strawman fallacy?

Rooting for bad people in fiction is a fine way to process that part of your own self with no actual risks or consequences. If doing that turns people bad, then playing role-playing games turns people into satan worshippers.

I miss the time when people realized that fiction, even if possibly metaphoric, is ultimately not real.
