I will argue that if a problem was solved in the past without violence, it’s only because there was nonetheless the threat of violence. Gandhi is the classic example - he’s the one everyone remembers, but he wasn’t the only leader in the struggle for Indian independence. Those in power generally refuse to negotiate with terrorists, but given the possibility of prolonged bloody conflict, they may choose to negotiate with the nonviolent alternative.

It looks like you’re summoning a minor demon!

I’m sure they will get fined for it, and the fine will be considerably less than the extra money they take in from people who don’t notice…

Unless I expect to see it, I cannot see it.

I don’t know if it’s a gift or a curse, but around my house, I’m the only one who can find anything - but it’s not because I scan the room and see it, but because at some point in the past, I happened to notice, and I just remember where nearly everything is, whether I want to or not. I guess it’s my coping mechanism.

Depending on what they plan to use the video for, a middle finger can be sufficient.

I tend to agree that this is how it should be, that doesn’t mean that’s how it is. If you walk around with a T-shirt that says “kill all CEOs” along with where to find them, you’re going to run into some trouble, despite being a similar situation- you’re just giving instructions, it’s up to the viewer what to do with them.

I have a shirt with a QR code that goes to a Rick roll. It doesn’t work nearly as well as I’d hoped. Even people trying to scan it have a hard time, forget about anyone scanning it unknowingly. Mr. Astley did in fact let me down.

This. I don’t know how many people’s PCs I’ve looked at where they have ddr, but only one stick of RAM…

That’s not how current works (most of the time… Some loads, i.e. big motors, might do that, but not any solid state electronics)

I’m still using the i7 I built up back in 2017 or so… Upgraded to SSD some years ago, will be upping the ram to 64gigs (max the mb can handle) in a few days when it arrives…

In my 20s, I (a guy) briefly dated a girl who was hopelessly infatuated with a gay guy. I guess technically it wasn’t a triangle because the gay guy had a pretty serious boyfriend, so more of a quadrangle… She got in between them, got him drunk & got herself knocked up, he “did the right thing” and married her, had another kid, then they got divorced after he had an affair with a guy…

It’s funny, I have her friended on Facebook, mostly because the drama is often entertaining, but I usually keep my comments to myself. When the divorce happened, she made this long post that basically said “woe is me, how could this have happened?” I couldn’t resist responding with “maybe because you married a gay guy?”

I’ve been there. My opponent ended up kneeling before me and admitting defeat.

Wallace. Bet he’s seen some shit.

Not at all. OS should just be core functionality, all bells and whistles should be add-ons so they can be added, replaced, or done without if not needed.

if you’re just trying them out, there is virtualbox…

65? what are you, a pinko? raise retirement age to 80, if presidents can keep working, so can you.

Yes, I suppose I should have been specific…

Religious people literally worship suffering, you won’t convince them with this argument.

Hasn’t she suffered enough?

What even is plain text anymore? If you mean ASCII, ok, but that leaves out a lot. Should it include a minimal utf-8 detector? Utf-16? The latest goofy encoding? Should zcat duplicate the functionality of file? Generally, unix-like commands do one thing, and do it well, combining multiple functions is frowned upon.
