You can melt down all the medals and cups I have and they wouldn’t be a plating for the twenty-four karat friendship that I felt for Luz Long at that moment.

What a bad ass

I would love to see the world through your eyes for a little, but I’d be worried I don’t have the spiritual fortitude to mentally endure it.

I find this one is intimidating

$ alias please="sudo"  

$ alias stay="shutdown"  

$ please stay_  

No pls. Don’t ruin my state.

How did CNN let them say “dick” on the air??

That is outstanding! The shading and outlines are synergistic.

I have a touchscreen laptop. Any guidance on how I can use it to start painting like that? Do you recommend a certain OS, app, or pen?

The government’s job is to give punk rockers something to sing about

Elon Musk is part of the administration that is helping us identify where we can find…savings.

I wonder what she almost said

Ok, news break! The President of the US is the most obvious foreign actor the country has ever had. This is like if Benedict Arnold was actually President while trying to overthrow the government, then running again and winning. His main goal is to weaken the US as much as possible for his daddy, Putin. If this appointment surprised you, get ready. It’s gonna get a lot worse.

I can’t imagine a legit celebrity musician coming up with a better music video. Nothing staged is going to beat a “nothing can phase me” dance video during a real live coup.

Africans and their descendants were also traded like property, so many lost contact with their families. They weren’t allowed to talk about their heritage, so the next generation had no idea. If anyone here hasn’t seen Roots, give it a watch. It’s was hard for me, but I needed to see it. There’s a lot of tragedy, but even in that, there’s impressive resilience.

“European-American” doesn’t really make sense in the same context, because generally speaking we all know the exact countries our ancestors came from. Whiteness, itself, is intended as a social construct to unite all the disparate European identities into a white USAmerican identity, so they’d stop having loyalties to their ancestral lands and so they’d recognize themselves as part of a privileged racial cast. It’s a whole thing.

Thank youuuu! I wish there was a European ancestry movement to get White people to stop thinking they’ve been the “default American” since George Washington. Some people act like they own the country because they’re White and have the White accent, yet their ancestry got here two generations ago. Plus, this dichotomous model of ancestry and culture based on skin-tone is lacking. I want more cool cultures.

Congrats! I’m excited to see your upcoming posts on distro hopping.

Fine, I’ll install Arch (btw). You can stop trying to convince me now.

They would still have to go through that ridiculous install following the Wiki, so I think that they are be pretty well educated on updates.

Feel free to download this badass ram

There’s no way you’re so new to Linux that you wouldn’t know if that would update automatically yet you’re running Arch btw. That’s like saying, “Do I need to do oil changes on my car? I built my engine, btw.”

It has been my experience that the best persona to use at work is one of no humanity. Be a corporate robot. When you walk in those doors, kill any sense of emotion. Look at everything logically. Make no friends. Focus on the tasks that your performance is measured. Leave no room for misinterpretation.

Most people are cool, but some are hunting for opportunities. Don’t give those people any opportunities.

I think that what happened with the Boeing 737-MAX crashing was that they had a sensor that if it got stuck, the software was programed to make the plane pitch down, even overriding the pilot’s own input. That resulted in the deaths of 346 people.

If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going.

I just tested it. I sent an obviously nude photo via a Google Messages text to myself. I didn’t see any speed bumps sending out or receiving and there was no blurring of the photo, so it doesn’t seem to do what the article says it does. Has anyone seen the app work as they say it does?
