Indeed I am not. Like you yourself said, I’m not interested in spending this beautiful Friday arguing 🙂

I already know your political positions: you posted a portrait of Mao.

Look, capitalism is broken. It’s a terrible, terrible system - especially the ultra-capitalist society with ultra-billionnaires we have today. My personal opinion is that said ultra-billionnaires should face the pitchfork sooner rather than later.

But I also know enough history to know that communism is even worse. I don’t know what the solution to capitalism is, but it’s not Mao or Stalin. They can fuck right off.

I’m curious: are you also against private grocery stores? Because ya know, eating is also a human necessity.

In other words, you do sound like you’d like someone like Mao in charge.

Are you saying the solution to the housing crisis is to starve 50 million people to death?

Just ban housing 🙂

That’s remarkable considering Linux is only 33 years old.

thats a lot of words for contributing for a single year, only half of which was ‘volunteer’

How long have you been contributing?

Two comments about this:

• It is my firm belief that 99% of the population of any country ruled by a dictator are the primary victims of that dictator, don’t condone what their rulers do, have done nothing wrong and are just trying to be good people in unfavorable circumstances.

  The Russians are no different and it isn’t fair to impose on Russian individuals of obvious good will the treatment governments apply to the Russian government, because the Russian government and the Russian people are two very different things.

• Linus said in this interview:

  I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression?

  and here I’m telling you this: Linus acts like a dipshit.

  I know the Finns very, VERY well, and while they’re generally great people, when it comes to Russia and Russians, they have epidermic reactions of totally unreasonable proportions.

  I understand where they’re coming from and why they react like that, but Russia is to the Finnish people what peanuts are to someone with a peanut allergy: the reaction is totally disproportionate and with zero nuances.

  Don’t ever try to argue with a Finn that a Russian person can be good, and that Putin is also their enemy: the Finn will shut down and stop talking to you - meaning, in their culture, that you can politely go fuck yourself.

  And that’s what we’re witnessing here with Linus: however many years he’s lived in California, he still hasn’t shed that part of his upbringing, and quite frankly, shame on him.

Well, the MAGA prophet himself claims to be at the peak of physical fitness despite sporting quite a sizeable lard belt and nobody seems to bat an eyelid or burst out laughing when he says it. He also says a lot of alarming things that his followers actively claim they didn’t hear.

So ignoring the obvious and thinking thoughts that contradict reality seems to be a common theme in that particular church - like in all churches really.

In fairness, “western values” - whatever that is - and the physical appearance of people are two completely orthogonal things. Nobody should be judged on their appearance.

In other words, those two are infuriating ultra-right-wingers who happen to look very odd. There’s also plenty of them who look totally normal.

It’s easy to confuse them: they’re both perverts that have names ending in …ey …stein

That dude looks so weird next to the guy with tattoos.

Just wait until you hear about customary units: you’re gonna blow a fuse.

If you’re interested in the subject of English language randomness, I highly recomment this video of Ed Rondthaler, who advocated for a simplification of English spelling. Interesting and highly entertaining.

The plaintiff must have had pretty damning evidence for Polanski to pay up to make something that happened over half a century ago disappear.

With AI coming after everybody’s jobs, by the time you’re out of school, doing the dishes might turn out to have been actual revisions.

McD lets all kinds of toxic shit in the kitchen and they don’t even have the power to stop it.

20 sounds so old though

Treasure that moment in time my friend, because tomorrow you’ll wake up and you’ll realize you’re 60 and you haven’t see those 40 years fly by. Take it from me, now you think you have the time but you really don’t: time accelerates the older you get. And that scary shit is for real.

Here’s an old joke:

Do you know why the rooster is the emblem of France? Because it’s the only animal that keeps singing with its feet in manure.
