Rodeo,

“Memes that people don’t get are unwelcoming.”

If a person sees something they’ve never seen before, and turns around and flees, that’s a problem with them being sheltered and pathetic, not a problem with the new thing they haven’t encountered before.

Rodeo, (edited )

Six months ago lemmy was infinitely better than reddit in that regard. It’s gotten worse because people from Reddit are here now, and brought their idiocy with them.

Rodeo,

3d printing is one of the things that’s pretty popular on Lemmy, actually.

Rodeo,

This ain’t a problem with the internet, it’s just because you’re getting older and you’ve seen more things.

Rodeo,

I love Manjaro :'(

It’s like arch except it doesn’t break all the time. And it has a great hardware and kernel utility, and still has access to the AUR. And I like pacman a lot better than apt.

Rodeo,

I would get one if they weren’t all right hand drive :(

Rodeo,

I put a washing machine in the back of my Toyota matrix.

Rodeo,

People can down vote you, but they can’t argue with this.

You must be the only pickup driver in existence that’s figured out that all your pathetic justifications can be debated, but your opinion on what you want cannot be.

Rodeo,

Uh what, that’s literally the point lol. The “you won’t have a calculator” has been complete and utter bullshit for literally over half a century.

Rodeo,

there is no point in doing it yourself from scratch.

Learning. The point is to learn.

You don’t have to learn everything that way, but you understand things a lot better when you’ve built them from scratch, and that underlying foundation enhances the entire knowledge stack.

Rodeo,

Yes really, if your job requires lots of calculations you’d be stupid not to have one, even back when they were expensive.

Every machinist I know, even the crusty old ones, carry a calculator in their pocket. It’s indispensable. Why wouldn’t you carry one if you need it all the time?

Rodeo,

And yet my point stands: if you need to do a lot of calculations at your job, you’d be stupid not to have a calculator in your pocket. And if you don’t, then the time it takes to find a calculator will be negligible.

Rodeo,

Just do what Leo does and date some random teenage Instagram model.

I doubt those relationships last long or are fulfilling, but I also doubt any celebrity marriage is fulfilling and there’s a lot more baggage involved.

Rodeo,

Or simply keeping with the theme of answers being a single individual and not an entire nation of hundreds of millions of people spanning centuries.

Rodeo,

He said Ubuntu 16, I believe the Amazon search fiasco was in 2012. He simply hasn’t been using Linux long enough to know that Ubuntu used to be good. His baseline user experience is probably gnome 3.

So he’s comparing extra-shitty Ubuntu to shitty Ubuntu and saying it didn’t used to be shitty.

Rodeo,

And he still hasn’t arrived at Gentoo.

Rodeo,

Wow you can’t just assign your own labels to other people like that.

Rodeo,

It’s far, far less than 1%. It’s more like the 0.0001%.

64 billionaires divided by 38 million people times 100 = 0.000168% of the population. I like where your head is at but 1 percenter is an old and inaccurate term.

Rodeo,

Yeah but it’s wrong. The 1% don’t control all the companies and real estate, the billionaires do.

Rodeo,

You only live once, so be safe.

Rodeo,

Spend 60% of your income on rent, then spend the rest on various other necessities and have nothing left over to save.

Welcome to modern Western society.

Rodeo,

Get in losers, we’re going fuck hunting.

Rodeo,

This is what happens when people have a basic knowledge of history and basic background knowledge of their field of expertise.

That’s not to minimize their intelligence and competence; that’s to say that it is expected that astronomers would know the names and histories of major nearby celestial bodies.

Rodeo,

“Sympathetic but uninterested” is the tone I go for.

Rodeo,

“But what if I divorce you!?”

I’m sure you had more tact than that lol, but I can see some reasons around that choice being touchy subjects.
