I don’t like being misinterpreted.

And Dollar General is part of the problem, constantly selling garbage-tier products that reek of planned obsolescence. Their entire business model relies on predatory practices that screw over the poorer US consumers they speak of.

Some good news: Dollar General’s stock price has been tanking hard since around the end of 2022.

Edit: Also thanks OP for providing a paywall-free link, very much appreciated. I clicked the original link and thought "damnit, if only OP posted a link witho–oooooh, OP did!".

Fruit of the Loom makes nice t-shirts too. Wore them as a kid and now as an adult.

I have 2 types of shirts-- shirts for when I go out, and shirts for when I’m at home or mostly at home. I like the former to stay completely clean, and I like the latter to be comprised of 1+ year old t-shirts that can get dirty/stained without worry.

I’m saying both arguments are speculative.

Because you’re making stuff up. Literally every install of an OS has some little issue here and there-- but this is my mistake for assuming any Linux community could be humble enough to cut the BS and stop acting like Linux is a flawless experience. I’m out, keep hanging out at that ~5% market cap and wondering why folks don’t flock over despite it being free.

“All due respect”, this is pure speculation.

This entire discussion is pure speculation-- are you really going to be that guy who says "but not my comment!"?

I feel like you’re completely leaving out the gap that there will between what we’ve achieved now vs 1000 years from now. If there’s advanced life out there that’s been around for long enough, I don’t think it’s biased to say that there’s a chance their tech is far more advanced than ours. I understand what you’re saying, but let’s not pretend we’re the true generation where there won’t be any major breakthroughs. There will be, but they’ll just take longer than before. To make technological leaps comparable from the 1800s to now, it may very well take from now to the year 3000, but the point is the notion that we’re past the point of major leaps is unfounded and based on the false notion that I’m saying in 300 years we can expect technological leaps as large as we’ve seen in the last 300 years.

All due respect, our current theories are probably downright primitive to any advanced life form and there’s undoubtedly blind spots in modern day science, be it in any field.

I don’t believe it works “flawlessly” and I’m tired of people exaggerating their experience in such a misleading way. There’s always some hitches and I don’t get why people basically have to cake their OS experience with makeup like this.

T-shirts. Get a 5 pack each of white, black, and another color you like. There, you’re set for like a year for $30.

Talked a friend out of suicide when COVID first hit and a bunch of people lost their jobs and homes. Now he’s got a pretty sweet work from home job with full benefits and his own place again. Am very happy for him.

I don’t believe I said otherwise. America absolutely has a history of foreign meddling and assassinations. I just wish the discussion went beyond this and people said why they do or don’t like him.

I feel like I don’t know enough about Maduro to judge him one way or the other, and I think it’s too simple-minded to just settle on "America doesn’t like him so he must be a man of the people" because that’s an easy way to accidentally overlook all kinds of heinous shit.

Also Maduro got ripped off. $13M for a used Dassault 900EX that’s hot? Wack.

Just familiarity for me.

I’m bored so I’m just going to make a list:

• Lightroom Classic (I’ve tried Darktable, just not for me. I take a lot of photos on my DSLR and I’ve been using Lightroom since 2015 so for me it’s worth eating the awful monthly subscription that I split with someone else.)

• Anki (flashcard app, very popular among med school students and folks trying to learn new languages. Open source and tons of useful decks available. I’ve aced plenty of exams thanks to Anki.)

• Bitwarden (finally caved and got a password manager-- could not be happier)

• CHIRP (the best for programming handheld, mobile and base station radios)

• CrystalDiskInfo (great for checking the health of SSDs and HDDs)

• DaVinci Resolve (love using this for video editing-- pirated copy was easy to find)

• Deluge (great for torrenting)

• foobar2000 (I love it for music)

• Greenshot (useful screencapture software)

• inSSIDer (great for wifi analysis)

• IrfanView (very good for photo management)

• MusicBrainz Picard (amaaaaaaaaazing god tier music management software to get all the correct metadata/album art)

• reWASD ($7 but it’s so good for no BS macro’ing of keyboard/mouse/gamepad shortcuts and profiles. I have two PCs and two mice + gamepad attached to my PC and this software is very helpful. I think the license is for life.)

• WizTree (SSD/HDD visualization tool that is useful for figuring out what’s taking up too much space on your drive)

Oh man I crave peaches hard. A good peach is delicious.

I have family members who are doctors and they generally agree that the worst patients are physically/verbally abusive ones. Apart from that, they complain a lot about patients who don’t follow their advice and then get angry when they don’t get better.

I really liked Bastion.

Also how is durovs arrest can be justified by saying “telegram aint e2ee”?

No one here has said or implied that.
