Okay, now we’re just making shit up

Self-aware wolves much?

Yep. For anyone who’s that serious about not having children, that’s more like an incentive.

covers what, about 60% of Linux desktops?

Like, I wish the Jews/Joe Biden/Democrats were as competent and cool as right-wing fearmongers make them sound.

Inaros is perfectly fine frame for 90% of content but he still deserved D just cause there are other frames that do what he does far better.

Excuse me, my esteemed aerial cephalopod, but I don’t see a doctor in front of your name. Those sodas didn’t end up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt getting their doctorates to be dissed by you.

Ads fucking suck, and what Google is doing definitely seems like monopolistic abuse, but there are much better arguments against Google than what you’re saying. You pay your ISP to access content, not paying for the content directly. Analogously, imagine being mad at McDonald’s for not giving you free drive-through food… because you pay road taxes.

Wouldn’t it be Steam Deck 2 Episode 2?

“You see, the short hair means she’s a no-nonsense badass, but the long hair indicates she still has a soft, vulnerable, feminine side that can be won over by the male interest leading to the obligatory gratuitous sex scene, right before he is killed by the aliens.”

Yep, run Linux in a virtual machine first, or create a bootable USB drive and run it from there. You should be able to get a good feel for how things work that way.

If you do decide to dual-boot, you’ll need that bootable USB drive because you can’t resize a mounted partition. You’ll need to be careful because you can bork your Windows install if you’re not, but I’ve found most instructions are straightforward and easy to follow.

Also, depending on which version of Windows you have, you might have to disable the TPM which means authenticating your Bitlocker key once you’re done and you re-enable it.

But hey, the fun of Linux is figuring these kinds of things out. Good luck and have fun!

You heretic! I want you to know that if I could discriminate against you for putting pineapple on pizza, I absolutely would!

we are just processes running on a bio computer that’s our brain and nervous system.

We’re processes running on two bio computers, one of which is actively suppressed by the other. That’s our brain and nervous system.

It’s problematic to try to read that verse as just meaning “born” exactly because of the context. The whole passage is about restitution in two scenarios: a pregnant woman who is injured as a bystander from two men fighting and

1. suffers an unclear birth event with no additional damage

2. suffers an unclear birth event with additional damage.

Breaking it down that way, it seems apparent to me that the birth event must mean a miscarriage. If two men fight and that causes a woman to go into labor, but her child is safely delivered, what restitution would be owed? What harm has actually been caused? That actually eliminates scenario 1. The only way the whole passage makes any sense for the father to be owed payment is to see what property he has been deprived of- a potential child, or a potential child and his wife. And this just helps to reinforce the point: the punishment for causing the death of a person is not the same as for causing a miscarriage, which means that in the Old Testament unborn fetuses we’re not equal to people

And no, American Evangelicals do not allow any room for error in translation of the Bible, because they see it as God’s direct word to man and therefore it can’t be wrong.

Oh, if you want more fun, read them these two verses:

Exodus 21:12:

Anyone who assaults and kills another person must be put to death.

And Exodus 21:22:

When people who are fighting injure a pregnant woman so that she has a miscarriage but no other injury occurs, then the guilty party will be fined what the woman’s husband demands, as negotiated with the judges.

Then ask them why the punishment for killing a person is not the same as the punishment for causing a miscarriage.

After that, ask them why, if the Bible is the “inerrant” word of God, do some translations of that second verse use “miscarriage” while others say something more general like “caused a premature birth” instead? Because the meaning of that verse changes drastically depending on which way it’s translated.

At this point, you’ll probably be called a godless baby killer and uninvited from Thanksgiving dinner.

I have been using CommaFeed for years. I’m not a huge fan of the most current design, but overall it works well.

Every single one of these “iNDePENdeNT/liBerTaRian” tech bros think they’re the smartest man in the room. Too high on their own farts.

What makes you think that even if someone told Musk that, he would have listened to them?
