Honestly didn’t take too long to find a lot of people taking this take in the least generous way possible.

And who can forget the “I commute 50 miles each way I can’t use any alternatives” folks as well who seem to think that the better future means absolutely no cars.

It means better alternatives to everyone having to own a car and take a car everywhere.

Straight up my car is 16 years old at this point and I plan to drive it until the wheels fall off

Do I want a different car with different features? Yup.

Will I buy a new car? Fuck no, I’ll buy a used car and do the same: drive it until the wheels falls off.

Of course they don’t have enough money

The goal is (as always) to have all the money

Which part doesn’t make sense?

Straight up what made me switch to YouTube premium was a bit of a 2 pronged thing really

They started including Google Play Music with it, and then I got an unskippable 1 hour ad in front of a video that after I reloaded the page I got the same ad again.

Edit: I don’t have an issue paying for a service if the price is right. I got what I wanted for I price I’m willing to pay.

Basically I saw it as “I already pay for Spotify, I might as well get rid of ads consistently and get music streaming for the same cost.”

I still think Google Play Music was better than YouTube Music currently is though.

Edit: Thinking back on it it was called YouTube Red when I signed up, it’s been a long time.

I agree whole heartedly that if you have suicidal thoughts you shouldn’t own firearms. It’s a recipe for disaster if you do. And if you have those thoughts you should seek help. There’s people in your life who will miss you dearly when you’re gone, even if you don’t think so.

And I’m sorry for your loss, I know how hard it is when someone you care about commits suicide. I’ve known 4 people who have. Though none of them used firearms to do so I’ll never forget them.

Personally I’ll never own pistols as I’ve had too many bad experiences with pistols. The why is a bit of a doozy.

Trigger warning Child Abuse, Breaking and Entering, and Attempted Murder.On a number of occasions my dad held a pistol to my head screaming at me to tell him where his drugs that he had already done were. He did this a lot to my siblings and I before he finally got clean. I still refuse to speak with him as there’s just too much pain there. My siblings tell me he’s a lot different now, that he’s back to the way he was when they were young, but I’ve only ever known him as the abusive drug addict that he was. Him and some of my other relatives are why I own firearms really as a number of them have said that they “can’t wait to get the order to hunt people like me in the streets.” And one went to prison for kicking my door in to try. That was when that relative found out I was a gun owner. They didn’t get shot, we just patiently waited for the police to arrive while they sat in my entry way.

I own several guns as well and I’m greatly in favor of better gun control laws. I’m a bit odd as well in that regard lol

Hell and that’s a Fox “News” poll, so that would likely have their own flavor of bias trying to make it as much in their own favor as possible.

I don’t see this as advocating for violence, more as pointing out how a specific group of people only care about things that personally affect them so they currently don’t care about the issue.

Hell the NRA cared about gun control when the Black Panthers started advocating for buying guns back in the day. Why? Because they saw it as a personal threat to their well-being.

Here’s a link for MAS for those who need it

It’s a cake walk to use

Gormadt, 10 months ago

Which is really easy with MAS

NGL I’m so tired right now I thought you were serious about there being a “Windows Debian Edition”

I even googled it lol

I do agree though that if your mum only uses the PC for like day to day browsing she’ll never notice a difference if you put a Windows style skin on your preferred Linux distro. Hell she might notice it being faster all around to be honest.

The best part is you can edit the title and none would be the wiser

I’m still getting used to being able to edit post titles after years of being unable to

How quickly they process the information, how accuratly they could determine the source, and how accuratly they could determine the location would all be fairly sensitive information.

Basically what I’m saying is that if they announced right after it happened that “Hey guys that sub imploded at X depth and the debris field will be at Y location because we heard a pressure vessel of the correct size crush followed by the sound of something of roughly the correct mass crashing into the sea floor.” Then everyone would know how capable our equipment is.

Basically announcing it days later gives a conclusion to the questions of what happened and also will likely keep others from meeting a similar fate. Not to mention the benefit of telling other countries that “Yes we can and will find out about what goes on underwater, just how quickly is more of a mystery… For you.”

Floppies were where it was at for us

I’ll never forget the days of watching the image load line by line to reveal tittie

Ah the days when being on the Internet was a deliberate act rather than a passive one

Not gonna lie that sounds like perks to me

Gormadt, 10 months ago

It hurt so much 😭

Straight up facts right there

I’ll never forget when I worked in fast food and my coworker from Guatemala asked me, “Can you settle a bet between Jorge and I? You speak English like a second language, what’s your first language?”

English is my first language.

Jorge won that bet.

Link to the modlog entry for them for those curious.

I’m not sure what made them comment that but I agree with the mod decision to remove the comment.

OP is overreacting for sure and given that they’re a mod on 4 communities I questions what kind of stuff they’ll be doing over there.

EDIT: I think the best part is that the comment sounds like it’s on a post they made but looking through they’re profile they didn’t post here often at all or they purged their posts in this community. So I’m confused.

Gormadt, 11 months ago

Fun fact, no

This is a new version from the same creator

I’d recommend checking out their other works as they’re also amazing

I’ve known a few people who seem to obsess over it. Typically it’s dudes but occasionally it’s women.

I’m a bi dude and I just want someone who’s willing to have new experiences, have fun, and cuddle.

The theme of this comic kinda rubs me the wrong way because all I can think of is “oh more people obsessing over a non-issue.”

I dig the art style though.
