Everything Poopypants touches turns to shit.

Conservativism in a nutshell.

In Thailand, there very often aren’t any sidewalks. Also, a lot of drivers are at best marginally competent and safety consciousness is a foreign concept. Add to that rapidly increasing car traffic and very car centric traffic policies and you have a recipe for disaster. While this was certainly an outlier, the death toll in Thai traffic is horrific.

Good. All this is going to do is show that renewables are cheaper even without subsidies. Then maybe people will finally start questioning all the fossil fuel subsidies.

Ah the good old days, when you could just roll in with the inquisition and burn those filthy heretics!

Genius! Infinite money glitch!

If you have an IT department, that cuts out the enshittification for you, Windows can still be a decent experience. If you use Windows Home it’ll be at the very least a lot of work and a constant struggle.

At B1 Level you can understand a lot of texts, if you’re willing to put in the work. You’ll have to look up a lot of words and re-read passages a few times occasionally. It’ll be a bit of a slog, but it’s also the most effective way to improve your reading comprehension. It’s also a lot easier these days when you can just look up stuff online. Back in my day, I’d have a dictionary sitting next to me and if a word wasn’t in there, I’d have to go to the library to look it up in the Biiig Dictionary (OED ftw).

Buy some cable ties. 100 for five bucks from Amazon. Tie up all your cables. Boom, rat’s nest gone. If you wanna be fancy, sort the cables into boxes or bags by type. An hour’s work, no hassle again, ever.

Being aware of something being wrong doesn’t mean you know how to do it better.

Most scientific argument for flat earth ever.

That’s the whole idea. They want Russia to hold on to Crimea at all cost even if it means depleting all their resources.

That doesn’t change the fact that they’re charlatans.

That’s a hypothetical with no basis in reality.

I have no idea what that is, but yes.

There’s no such thing as a psychic, only charlatans claiming to be.

Seconded. Absolutely what I’d install in this kind of situation. I have an old machine set up for my wife with Mint. She only uses it to check her bank account, basically. So far zero issues.

Also, you’re a total idiot and all your problems are skill issues.

Linux has always been more pragmatic and focused on getting stuff out that works now. BSD has always been a promise that might be better in theory but is of little practical use to most people.
