I never did coke to get high, I just liked the smell

This might not be feasible. IDK how you could install a whole OS, inside of another, without looking like a serious virus or malware. There are many files that cannot be changed while Windows is running (why it needs to reboot so often for updates). And no sane OS is going to let a program edit things like the MBR.

M$ has done more to convince people that AI is bullshit than anyone else and I just want to thank them for their hard work.

Some of the first real home/office PCs had only one floppy drive and 640kb of RAM. Fancier machines had a second floppy. If you were a millionaire, you could get a HDD with upwards of 30Mb storage.

If you’re using the dish to prepare raw meat use a disinfectant, otherwise If it looks clean, it’s clean.

If you think Idiocracy is the future (or the present) you believe in eugenics. It’s a cute move, but it’s writers have a worse understanding of evolution than the makers of Pokemon.

Isn’t “Geforce Now” the background service that you have to sign into? I’m glad that Nvidia is taking Linux seriously, but this was never useful on Windows. (for me)

I suppose some Linux users may find it useful, and having a choice is always better. But this is the kind of software I don’t miss since I switched.

The other day, my mother approached me about Office alternatives. Before she retired, she daily drove Office, but feels like it’s changed so much that learning a new program isn’t any more friction than keeping up with AI bullshit.

The pig who shot Michal Brown said he had to shoot because Brown could have taken his piece away. If you accept that, then you agree that, at least in this situation, the public and the police would be safer without guns.

It used to be: I had to shoot him judge, he had a gun

Then it was: I had to shoot him judge, I thought he had a gun

Now it’s: I had to shoot him judge, I had a gun.

YSK the idea that the “self” or “consciousness” is centered in the brain is called Duality and it’s a philosophical position, not a scientific one. It’s the same idea that “mind” and “body” are separate things and it’s most common iteration is the idea of the “soul”.

You probably can’t upload yourself to a computer or be preserved in a frozen brain.

In my experience, the people most invested in hierarchy have fears of loosing status not an assumption of gaining more. Poor white racists understand they’re poor, that’s why their afraid of any social program that may help black Americans, even when poor white people would benefit too.

they’re not “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”, they’re jealous dragons guarding a shitty treasure.

And it’s not just the poor. Middle class people often view a slide into working class as a life-or-death threat. amidst all the talk of “economic anxiety” around the 2016 election, average Trump supporters earned 20-30K more than Hillary voters.

From natural reasoning,

You mean from fallacy

either gender is a fixed biological reality, or it’s completely irrelevant, non existent and a man-made concept.

False dichotomy, it could be a third thing. Also the idea that “socially constructed” things are somehow unworthy of consideration, or irrelevant is not true. Consider some things that we know are “man-made”: sovereignty, laws, borders, language, authority, religion, democracy, human-rights, and class. Think those things are “irrelevant”?

Trans people’s existence isn’t a political position or a logical puzzle.

All you have know is:

people who deserve respect = people who deserve respect.

The project of inventing your own gender theory based on Bio 101 is pretty myopic. As though people don’t count as people until you’ve fixed the taxonomy in your mind. You don’t have to read Judith Butler, but have the self awareness that dismissing the literature before engaging with it is not the product of critical thought.

What’s the point into committing suicide?

So you admit you don’t understand the situation, but you’ve got advice anyway? Super typical.

I would be surprised if South Korea and Japan are not looking hard at a nuke program.

This is only remarkable for people unfamiliar with cold war nuclear strategy and tactics. It’s all insane, and Israel isn’t the fist, or most credible, to have a doomsday plan.

There is no centrist position between total nuclear weapons ban and murder the world.

The belligerents in a cold war are limited to being passive aggressive.

If you ranked games by revenue, none of these games would be on the list. Candy Crush and Clash of Clans would fire their CEO if their revenue was pathetic as Activision.

Competitive multiplayer games are lazy because they rely on other players to be the content. And they are perpetually vexed when their customer/ labor don’t perform their intended function.

Debian cut ties in January, so if you quit after that, you’re officially slower to change than Debian.
