bhamlin,

Nice try, Paul’s producers.

bhamlin,

I miss slackware.

It still kinda exists, but really has become a ghost of its former self.

bhamlin,

Ok, I’ll bite.

It feels like most of your position comes from a place of misunderstanding just what goes into a lesson plan about literature; possibly even a deliberate misunderstanding. Schools aren’t giving children books with smut and senseless violence. These materials are constantly being reconsidered and reevaluated. Vonnegut was something taught when I was in school, and removed right after I graduated.

This comic is pointing at the fact that nearly every book on these lists isn’t there because the content is actually a problem. The lists just have books that some religious group dislikes regardless of whether or not they’re being used.

Besides, somehow the christian Bible is somehow still “approved” while having more rape and violence and men kissing men than any book I ever had to read for school.

bhamlin,

I’ll take my chances with the sky fairy rather than the courts. One has a track record of being wrong a lot and causing grievous financial harm, and the other is imaginary.

bhamlin,

Books are being banned with zero consideration for their worth, or even if they’re being used in a classroom. These books are on those lists purely for existing.

Or maybe you believe that the Nazis did nothing wrong. You’re entitled to that. But I draw the line at books being banned because they talk about them. A wrong thing can be just a useful teaching tool as a right thing. Counter examples are just as useful as affirming examples.

bhamlin,

Defund the police is about police having the resources and immunity to escalate situations to mortal danger. Have you never considered why places like northern Ireland don’t have rampant murders by the police? The place was bombing itself not 30 years ago. There is more bottled violence there than the US. General police there don’t carry firearms. Not because they don’t have money, or it’s not dangerous, but because not every situation calls for someone armed to the teeth.

If police couldn’t respond to every call here, others would be called in. Neighbor’s autistic child is causing a scene? Get a social worker there. If you need someone with a gun, then you call that in. But if you start with someone trained to control a situation with deadly force and introduce someone mentally incapable of understanding or complying, you’re gonna have dead kids. Which we do. Without the need for that.

But I guess you’re ok with shooting the mentally infirm because they’re a burden and should be cleansed. The Nazis thought that was too.

bhamlin,

He should have to wear the bra, too

bhamlin,

The inside is still more…

bhamlin,

I wouldn’t. Most places refuse to take $100s due to rampant counterfeiting, and banks don’t bat an eye at a huge stack of ones as a deposit. To just flow through life, a limitless supply of ones is far easier to deal with than any amount of crisp $100 bills. Inflation might change this, but probably not in my lifetime.

bhamlin,

Yup. Exactly this.

bhamlin,

I, for one, would welcome our nuwu owoverlords.

bhamlin,

The problem with SELinux is that everyone rushed to push it out, alongside packages affected by it without support for it. So it was a crapshoot whether or not you’d have something working each time. That is better now, but was initially a colossal pain in the ass for about five years or so.

bhamlin,

Not really, have you met people? Sometimes the distance of an internet connection is required to interact socially without crippling anxiety. At least here girls are getting paid to help these people instead of them going out and trying it in the outside.

bhamlin,

I prefer the term “ranchist.”

bhamlin,

None. I use Gentoo and everything is compiled statically.

bhamlin,

Red Hat Linux was the only viable option for me to use on the AlphaStation I’d just bought off of my former employer, and the rest is history.

bhamlin,

7 out of 10. 9 with rice.

bhamlin,

My Ubuntu is Manjaro.

bhamlin,

Nah, if it were slackware there’d be more Bob.

bhamlin, (edited )

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda count=1 bs=4M; fdisk -l /dev/hdb

I ran that line a few times before I realized what I had done, and couldn’t remember the exact sizes of the old partitions…

bhamlin,

Or France

bhamlin,

I guess those are better than finding beans in your candy…

bhamlin,

That’s a rumlaut.
