I skipped XP entirely on account of its cartoonish interface, jumping direct to Vista when programs started dropping Win2K support.

Don’t you measure your camera spex in mAh?

Abusers gonna abuse. I endured seven years of “you don’t do what I say, and I can make your life hell.” I can only imagine what she would have been capable of had I needed her for citizenship reasons.

But, seriously, Crystal Justice? That sounds nothing like a real name.

Know your audience. Just because you think something is a fit for this community does not make it so. And dismissive shit like this is not a fit for Beehaw.

You spammed, got called out for it, and now you’re saying the problem isn’t you, it’s everyone else. That’s the fascist playbook (or, at the very least, your ex’s explanation for why everyone sucks).

.ml has different rules. You don’t get to bring your litterbox here.

You can say that again!

Yeah, that’s to be expected after launching a war against another country to hold your government together enough to avoid being subject to prosecution.

Tehran wasn’t going to be like “Yeah, let’s just take this in stride.”

What is with this end-times porn? I don’t like to kinkshame, but, like … making sure to escalate things that will affect tens of millions of people because you don’t want to end up in court – and I don’t say this lightly – is straight-up evil.

Is there truly an audience for “I don’t want any proof, just answer my question”?

As Elon said, let that sink in. Perhaps an unpopular position, but if that’s all users want and it makes them more money, of course that’s what Google will do.

I’m in no way suggesting this is a good direction, but it’s unsurprising.

Suggestion: Keep the SSDs and get external housings. They’re unlikely to generate any significant income, so using them as backups may be the better solution.

I’m going to be embedded with Street Medics, so the risk is lower than for somebody just sauntering down there. This does not change having an exit strategy should things go south. The official protest lasts only until before sunset, and we plan to leave at 20.00.

The key word there is “plan” … best laid plans.

I’m short one (1) bike to have a bike as an option.

If you think the forks are bad, wait until you see the spoons! (Tip your waitress; try the veal.)

When on Earth did that become major?

I mean, that could work as well. A comma in a hed replaces “and” – semicolons are very rare, though.

I’m giving that comma in the hed some serious side-eye. I get Al-Jazeera isn’t an English-native publication, but they usually do better than this. In this context, the comma is saying the two are unrelated. An “as” or “with” fixes the issue.

Sure, but this is only going to expand the Overton window in one direction. People with facts tend not to be as inflammatory.

Great, after the horses have not only bolted but been shipped to El Salvador.

I’m not going to claim we should have trusted the government until very recently, but if you still need more proof, that’s a bit excessive.

Ah, sudden benzo withdrawals. I was prescribed Xanax after my second neck surgery and not told any warnings about what would happen without tapering. That was three days of absolute hell, so this seems a useful and needed service.

Not sure what it has to do with Uber, though.

The past day was odd enough to feel a need to post my own. I think for the first time in years, there’s a trajectory. Sure, joining Beehaw was nice enough, but this is where I go back to changing the world.

Apologies for the Reddit links; they were embeds, so I had no other option.
