Norgur,

It's a little naive to think that this was an incentive to use Linux for ppl in the first place.

Norgur,

Wait... Are you telling me that actual cooperative teamwork is more important than some rank/stats/status symbol? Tryhards hate this trick!

Norgur,

Anyone who bashes distros hasn't really understood Linux. The fact that you can choose gives us the ability to choose the right tool for the job. Ubuntu has pushed a few weird things into the Linux world, but the distro itself is still legit.

Norgur,

Most of them have an overly rusty, slightly bitter taste I really dislike. Same goes for many mineral waters.

Norgur,

Biker Riker challenges you to a fight!

Norgur,

They threw up large mounds of dirt to either side of the Tower and built it through those... duh!

Norgur,

We should at least have.added descriptions in Vulcan and Klingon.

Norgur,

That's a rather useless contribution to the discussion. The initial argument was a line of reasoning why artificial csam might be a benefit so people can vent their otherwise harmful behavior without harming actual people. You just flat out responded "it is enabling and doesn't stop distribution". So you just responded with "no, u wrong". Care to tell us you reasons behind your stance?

Norgur,

First if all: that is exactly how you treat addicts. https://harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12954-019-0340-4

Secondly: no, we don't have evidence that this might decrease the danger for pedophiles to act on their desires, since the technology is rather new.

Of course we should not enable urges like that. Yet, we have to be realistic: there will always be those that can't be treated. Do you want those who cannot be stopped from indulging in their desires to do so on children's images by real, abused children, or do you want them to vent on made up images?

Norgur,

That's not picky about wording.
While I agree that stuff like that should not exist at all in no way whatsoever, there is a vast difference between it existing because someone abused a child, recorded that and thus scarred the child for life, or if someone made a computer make up pixels in a way that is disgusting.

Norgur,

I tried several ways to phrase this so there would be no ambiguitiy... all sounded even weirder ;)

Norgur,

Thanks mate! My wife and I always were a good team but we strengthed our bond during her pregnancy significantly, so I don't even need to look out for myself, she'll do that and vice versa. I'll send her to bed/eat/shower and take over completely to afford her that break she didn't even realize she needed and she'll do the same for me. Without this dynamic, those last days would have been immensely draining. The way things are, they've been a warm and snug experience for our little family <3

Norgur,

Ye cannot change the laws of physics!

Norgur,

See, I get when YouTube or some such are asking for some kind of payment, since transcoding and delivering all those large video files is expensive as fuck. Yet, Open subtitles delivers text. Fucking. Text. The rest is done for them for free by the users. No, folks. You ain't getting any money.

Well, sometimes, lackluster adoption of modern technology is a boon. We must make sure.that they never discover the goon-for-hire corners of the interwebs.

Norgur,

No, "don't execute a file that shouldn't be an executable" is not a "Windows thing".

Norgur,

Oh, I've wirtten the odd prank virus for Mac in my time. Never spread them through the internet of course, but Mac users felt so secure they'd execute about anything and be terrified when the CD drive started acting up

Norgur, (edited )

I once did one where the screen would "crack" whenever you clicked. Like one of those desktop destroyer Minigames that were popular back then. It basically displayed an empty window in the foreground that would then load the cheap-ass crack-lines I had done in MS Paint. It was really obvious, since the program would even appear in the app shelf thingy of MacOS, yet ppl just freaked out every gawd damn time.

Norgur,

I've become so numb, Antivir ain't there
Covered in toolbars, For lack of Adaware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is date hot singles in my area like you

Norgur,

Dude! You're doing it all wrong! Colorado TOADS are hallucinogenic, not bullfrogs! Stop slabberinf the poor insect-munchi-boiis!

Norgur,

If you see Worf and Alexander in the preroll,.you know it's gonna be a bad episode

Norgur,

My parsnip to your parsnip
My lettuce to your lettuce
Our salads are one

Norgur,

Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
