Unless you’re a member of the big club, I’ve got bad news for you[1][2].

Ironically, trains don’t run on time, despite their fame.

You understand that that was about fascist Italy, right? And the reality is that they did not run on time.

FUCK IT, WE’LL DO IT LIVE!

(not gonna tell her, is that a bad call?)

Is this some vestige of Abrahamic religious guilt? 😂

No, Ohio is appropriately rated, which is why it is no one’s vacation destination.

Big deal, they have a tower just like this in Vegas.

I don’t know where you live, but my offline world is no more or less sarcastic than online.

Is it simply the lowest form of wit

You’re trying to account for taste, but there’s no accounting for taste.

They had spyware, anyway. We don’t know that it still works.

As of March 2023, Pegasus operators were able to remotely install the spyware on iOS versions through 16.0.3 using a zero-click exploit.

The current version of iOS is 18.1.0.

The fact that I now know is the very reason why I no longer start.

Don’t tell those other suckers, though, or else nothing will ever get started.

It’s about as good an idea as Hindus have about beef 🤷

The rise of the megacorps was in the late 19th century as imperialism, otherwise known as “monopoly capitalism” or the Highest Stage of Capitalism.

The stage we’re in now is a further advancement known as neocolonialism, which began in the mid-20th century. You might say that neoliberalism and the rise of neoclassical economic hegemony are closely related to neocolonialism.

Moralities aside, some find it liberating to stop caring what is & isn’t considered “weird.” Conformity definitely has its advantages, but at least consider the possibility that, for you, it may not be worth the costs. Take it from Al, or DEVO themselves for that matter.

As for morality, I’m not really a fan of it in its conventional senses. Philosophy prof. Hans-Georg Moeller, author of The Moral Fool: A Case for Amorality.

That’s at least partially true, perhaps even predominantly, but there’s also the desire to have very lean distributions for containterization, and GNU is comparatively “bloated,” for lack of a better term.

Stallman, begging to be defenestrated.

All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

That’s not even true, because they don’t all have a GNU userland.
