“Sounds like it is working pretty well to me” when I spend multiple days trying to get Linux working for one purpose (to draw) and am unsuccessful.

This is why “current year is the year of the Linux desktop” is hilarious to anyone who doesn’t use Linux.

The death penalty is not an effective punishment, it is a security measure and should only be used if confinement is unsuccessful and the risk is sufficient, which should be a high bar.

I mean, that’s not a uniquely Muslim concept. I think that’s pretty universal, although we don’t have a word for the concept in English. It’s just considered unhygienic.

Unless you mean to say that when someone has used a utensil it is permanently tainted.

Damn I guess I have female nipples

I wish that was the case where I live.

Krita solves at least your second problem. I love Krita

Great comparison. Just as asking the woman to cover up is ineffective, so is trying to enforce pedestrian safety on the pedestrian side. Much more effective is to prevent the suspect/driver! Glad we came to an agreement.

Hard to enjoy life spread across the pavement like a crayon by a truck.

Believe it or not, some lifestyle choices have consequences external to the person making the decision

I still don’t know what labubus are and I’m thankful

Sliding screen doors are common in the US

Say inshallah instead

Noooo it’s broken!

My first calculus class was in 2018 or 2019 and before they taught us any of the derivative rules they showed us the first principles derivation, so the fact that they just skipped right to the shortcuts for you is wack. For us it was more of “this is how you find the equation for the slope of a line at any point. But guess what, here’s some rules so you don’t have to do this squeeze formula every time!”

That last part.

Is there such a thing as unhinged benevolence? That’s awesome

My parents are constantly pushing me to own a car.

I have a license because it is a convenient all-in-one piece of ID. I abstain from car ownership because cars fucking suck. They’re expensive to buy, expensive to insure, expensive to maintain, expensive to run, expensive to drive, and you can’t even use your phone* while going places. Car ownership is just overall a bad deal. I’m much happier taking public transit, even if it sucks ass and is twice as slow to get anywhere.

*If you unironically counter this point you should be prevented from ever getting behind a wheel for the rest of your life. Fuck you for putting my and other people’s lives in danger for your own convenience.

Taking a natural language question and providing a foothold on a subject by giving you the vocabulary so that you can research a topic on your own.

“What is it called when xyz.”

Also there is no “point of no return.” Every extra kilogram of CO2 is an extra small increase in temperature. The more we emit, the worse it gets. It’s not on-off.

Love how when someone has issues with Linux but not Windows somehow it’s pebkac. Classic annoying Linux user response.

It’s called the use of sarcasm.

I agree! My country is so fucked because we’re caught between metric and American units. Worse than just Imperial.
