Anticorp,

Yes, that’s a good point. The nonsensical arguments meant to consume energy were a master stroke against actual discourse online and in person. Unfortunately it has had the desired effect, and many of us aren’t engaging in discourse with like-minded people about things we mostly agree on. The right has done such a good job of making every point contentious that any statement against the commonly accepted group think is treated as an outsider trying to sow discord. I see it all the time online, and I’m sure you’ve seen it too, where someone who is very liberal gets jumped all over and accused of being a trumper, or a racist, or a homophobe, or whatever, just because they have their own unique perspective of an argument that they’ve obviously put time and thought into. I’ve even encountered it with close personal friends when discussing new radical evaluations of old conceptions. We’re in a rough spot as a society right now. We just might be on a deadline if we can’t figure out how to talk to each other again.

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

Anticorp,

That has never happened to me in the many years I’ve been using Gnome.

Anticorp,

Gnome is sleek, gnome is special, gnome is unique. I love gnome. I’ve used KDE, but I don’t want a Windows clone, I want something special.

Anticorp, (edited )

Same. I have zero performance issues with Gnome, but I’m using a badass $3000 custom gaming computer.

Anticorp,

Either those are 2 person benches, or y’all got some big asses over there.

Anticorp, (edited )

Oh, I gotcha now. Yes, I guess it’s really just too clean, and the people too sane, which is a result of it being thrown together in under a week, on a limited budget.

Edit: also because it’s a G rated TV show.

Anticorp,

It galvanized the nation for about 4 days, until GWB and other prominent politicians set the populace upon itself, and the divide widened.

Anticorp,

What I found most concerning about this episode was that the refugee encampments, which were supposed to represent ultimate poverty, despair, and oppression, look a damned sight nicer than bad areas in San Francisco and Los Angeles today.

Anticorp, (edited )

I guess what the pictures don’t convey is how fucked up the people are, and how awful the ambient sound and sights are. This is a video someone made of Philadelphia at night, and it’s quite shocking.

Edit: they also don’t convey the scope of the problem. This homeless in L.A. goes on for mile after mile. There’s a video out there of someone driving through Skid Row in L.A. and it’s like 10 miles long. It is absolutely unbelievable to me how big the problem is.

Anticorp,

I just got tingles thinking about that performance. That was an amazing story.

Anticorp,

You probably can, but it’ll kill you.

Anticorp,

We shall call it the Hendrix.

Anticorp,

He was probably one of those annoying morning people who wakes up at 4 am, full of energy, and happy.

Anticorp,

Jadzia was the star of that show.

Anticorp,

She doesn’t seem to enjoy the time she spends with Miles, and even accepts posts for months at a time off-station to get away from him. Of course he spends more time with Julian!

Anticorp,

She just doesn’t seem to be a particularly talented actor to me, so she can’t act like she loves him.

Anticorp,

Garek always struck me as a try-sexual, as in he’ll try anything sexual.

Anticorp,

Why? Did they hate each other?

Anticorp, (edited )

It was 1982, so basically still the 70’s.

Anticorp,

I think you’re massively underestimating how many houses there are in the world.

Anticorp,

No, and yes.

Anticorp,

Top hats seem like they’re specifically designed to send a message of “we mock your poverty”.

Anticorp,

JOY TO YOU AND ME

Anticorp,

Ah, it’s Tuesday.
