My one thing I feel like I can brag about in tech circles is that I switched to Linux in 1995 (Linux kernel version 1.2.1), and I haven’t looked back since. This was even before Windows 95 was released.

Not misleading, no one misunderstands

Speak for yourself, I misunderstood. I thought that income above a certain point was taxed at 28%.

Yes. However, if you had skipped the -f, it would have been valid. Without the filename argument, it assumes it should extract from the tape drive (TAR = Tape ARchive). The tape device is probably something like /dev/rmt0, but you don’t need to specify that. Using the -f is technically an exception which means “instead of extracting from the tape like you’d normally do, pretend that this file is the tape device instead.”

Oh and their CEO is a rich frat boy and also probably the one with the crayons.

I’m not so sure, I’m pretty sure that guy ate all his crayons before he could do any kind of drawing.

Fair point, but the rules are not specifically for Trump, they’re for any US ex president.

Yes. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is a fundamental principle for good reason. For example, we don’t actually know if anything of what we’ve read about him is actually true.

Europe, the Commonwealth, or any of the Nordic Countries

(Just for clarity, the Nordic countries are part of Europe if anyone thought anything else)

Exactly. People need to remember that this is the Internet, not their home country. We don’t know where you’re from.

Who the fuck do these Vatican people think they are, to lecture others on morality? The previous pope instructed all of Catholosism that they were not to report pedophile priests to the police on pain of excommunication. And this is apparently fine by the current pope.

They are a bunch of idiots with no coherent concept of morality. All morality is based on personal responsibility, but most Christians seem to think they can ask their imaginary friend - rather than the one they have wronged - for forgiveness, and be granted it! It is absolutely absurd. I’m not saying that Christians in general are bad people, I’m just saying we shouldn’t be looking towards Christianity or any of its leaders for moral guidance.

Incidentally - do you know which World War 2 nazis were excommunicated for their crimes by the Catholic church? You’d probably be surprised to know that it was only one. One! And who was it? It was Joseph Goebbels. Among all the heinous crimes commited by the nazis, what was it that Goebbels specifically did that caused the Catholic church to say “enough is enough”? I’ll tell you what he did: He married a divorced protestant. “That’s it,” the Catholic church said, “you no longer get to go to heaven with your fellow nazi war criminals. Killing 13 million people in the Holocaust alone we can live with, but marrying a divorced protestant? No, we can’t have that, that would be, like, totally immoral dude.”

But surely, I hear you say, the Catholic church was against the nazis? No. No, they were not. Hitler’s birthday was celebrated in German Catholic churces all throughout the war. Only in 1960’s did the Catholic church apologize for its silence during the Holocaust, and revert the hitherto established doctrine that all currently living Jews - including children - are personally responsible for killing Jesus. That’s why they didn’t oppose the Holocaust - because the Jews (never mind that they weren’t the only victims) had it coming, since they were all (some-fucking-how) personally responsible for “killing Jesus”.

So, yeah. I’m not going to let these morons lecture me or anyone else on morality.

I get your point, but he didn’t create Tesla, he bought it (as far as I know). So it could be argued that these things would be happening with or without him. But with him, he’s giving electric cars (at least, that brand) a bad name.

Well, I haven’t pooped since last year, I bet that stuff is pretty damn hard by now if you really must know. 😅

It’s the only one that I’ve found that has Smart Play. I’m not sure why not all podcast players have this, it’s such a great feature. Going back to something without it, would feel like going back to the stone age.

I thought this guy was supposed to be right wing? Doesn’t he like the free market? Because, I mean, the alternative is regulation. We could make antisemitism illegal, but in the west we have largely decided that we will instead rely on free market forces (read: public shaming) to root that shit out.

It’s almost as if… and this might sound crazy, but hear me out… it’s almost as if this guy wants the advantages of capitalism, but none of its disadvantages?

Welcome! So far, in my experience, this is a much friendlier community that… many of the alternatives.

So, basically, Putin is telling Russian women to “get fucked for Putin”?

It’s not that simple. There’s also the issue of paying rent for offices which also feeds into shareholder (although possibly different shareholders) profits, etc. I’m no expert, but I have a feeling this is all very complicated.

Yeah. These people largely couldn’t be bothered to get vaccinated for their fellow Americans, something tells me they’re not gonna go get themselves shot by the US military for their fellow Americans either to any significant degree.

Controversial oppinion, perhaps: would it not have been a better option to just, give up and let him go (for now), rather than fucking shoot him? I mean, wasn’t this over a traffic stop?

Enfors , 7 months ago

Yes. The man, on the other hand, had a rational fear of the cops given his history. No wonder he resisted - I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a panic reaction to being arrested. Obviously, the best outcome would have been if he had complied, I’m not saying it’s okay to resist even an illegal arrest necessarily, but sometimes you panic and react irrationally. That’s just being human.

Are you saying police should shoot people during routine traffic stops just in case, because they might otherwise commit a serious crime at a later date?

Yes. These people are not entitled to be business owners. If they can’t hack it, then get out of the way for the people that can. But don’t worry, business owners - I’m sure you’d be perfectly happy being a gig worker for another company instead, right?
