I don’t read my replies
Growing up rural gives one a healthy respect for animals. I once knew a banty rooster who was known to have killed 2 snakes and a hawk going after his hens. I saw that rooster chase grown men and I did not laugh. I would have run from that feathery violence too.
Philosophers are always the first targets of anti-intellectuals. People genuinely believe that studding what’s true about the world is a waste of time.
You can tell that this is a prejudice because the same people who think you shouldn’t get paid for having useless knowledge will still hire economists.
Speaking as someone who’s the default “tech” guy for older relatives, I’m glad M$ does forced updates.
You don’t really hear about serial killers anymore.

99% of self-identifying stoics are just dudes who watched a video on Marcus Aurelius and took away that holding in your feelings is a virtue actually.
Don’t forget that there is a BIOS setting that allows VM to work faster. It’s called virtualization. Search for the setting in your BIOS (it’s called something different across manufacturers). It’s usually located in a menu under “advanced CPU settings” or similar.
It’s often switched off by default.
They’re are probably more layers working on this than the average corporate merger. People this wealthy don’t live lives that you’d recognize.
Hitting the saloon with Lenny in Red Dead Redemption 2 means consuming a dangerous amount of questionable liquors.
The idea of personal action vs. corporate/government action is a false choice. The government can force the corpos to stop burning the planet, but that will mean significant lifestyle changes for everybody.
It also means getting our shit together about immigration/ migration/ refugees. And not just in the US, but globally. A humanitarian catastrophe is assured otherwise.
I’m not optimistic.
This is a core component of a corrupt system. Everyone needs dirt on everyone else to feel secure that they can screw you if you ever try to run against the grain.
Just look back at any of the police who get criminally charged. One of the charges against the cop will likely be “theft of state funds” or similar language. This means the cop stole overtime, which is so common as to be universal.
Another common example is tax-evasion under a dictatorship. Everyone in the ruling class does it, but run afoul of the regime, and off to jail you go.
The cheapest method is to abandon the body. People die without family all the time and the State has a method to dispose of unclaimed corpses. Cost $0
My technology skill makes me satisfied that your scale starts at zero, but annoyed it didn’t end with nine.
And they did exactly the same thing with Better Call Saul in the character Howard Hamlin.
___His was one of the most impactful deaths I’ve ever seen on TV
The critical battlefield experience can be had on Linux. By that I mean checking to see if it’s selling better than Call of Duty and arguing about it.
Being in love makes you an expert on love the same way getting run over by a car makes you a mechanic.
Most of what I know about Trixie is that it was so easy to upgrade that the only configuration I had to fix was changing the clock back to 24hr time.
Yes, they even put nukes in backpacks
If you don’t want to think about news, why do you want to consume it?
I don’t understand. It sounds like your asking for news that requires the least amount of engagement and thought on your part. But that’s already the default in media. The whole industry is transforming itself day by to serve you. You can read the news all day with little danger of engaging critical thought, and that’s too much for you?
It’s like you want all news to be sports. Summarized and quantified for people who don’t care to watch the game.
Yes you can! Atheism is not an ideology. You’re talking about anti-theists and plenty of us non-believers don’t wanna be associated with those people.
