Generally, you’re totally on point, but I just wanted to drill into that mention about hotkeys for switching windows. You mean something other than alt+tab, ctrl+tab, and in some applications shift+brackets?

One of us!

Skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet Trump is a literal rapist. (skeet)

Fun fact, though: Linux is the only case-sensitive one.

Edit: I feel silly for forgetting that it’s all about the choice of FS. If anyone needs anything from me, I’ll be in the corner, coloring.

I totally smirched him in the parking lot.

I think you meant to write “anything”, but I have to laugh anf think this could be another internet moment like what started “Karen” or “Chad” or “Stan”.

I think you’re the kind of person I imagine when I wonder how the world would really work if we got to a kind of utopia thing where money didn’t need to exist anymore and everyone just did whatever they wanted. Star Trek portrays one of the captain’s dad as running a restaurant in Louisiana, for example, and I just thought how cool it’d be to have access to so much abundance of resources that you just cook big batches of food for whomever wants some.

But then someone challenged me to think about the other aspects of a restaurant, like serving and cleaning, managing access, etc. So once in a while I wonder about that–what it would take to really make restaurants work (as in, really work as places that celebrate great food) in a world with no money.

Maybe no money just means no need to limit basic resources. Maybe it doesn’t mean no other incentive system, which might just still be money, after all. I don’t know, just something I wonder about in a way to try to better understand economics and the evolution of society.

It seems obvious to me now.

Many US states are now requiring age verification for adult sites. VPN companies will benefit if that requirement expands. The Republican party’s pearl-clutching politics are what can make that happen.

What are we when we get too old to drink coffee anymore?

And I can only imagine how they feel when empty.

We just watched “The Trap” last night. There was a major pop concert that ended in time for family dinner time during daylight. In the concert, they were depicted having time to make multiple trips to the merch tables and concessions, and in one of those trips, they talked like it was an intermission to change the stage set between songs.

It’ll be just like 2020: react after the damage is done and pretend they weren’t complicit.

You’ve been waiting for this moment…

One of the best feelings I ever felt was laying in bed the night after a car accident earlier in the day. It was enough of an accident that I was glad to reflect on it not being any worse, but it also wasn’t bad enough to injure anyone.

When I climbed into bed that night, I was seriously doing that thing dogs do when you take them outside and they flop and wallow around on the grass with their feet flailing carelessly in the air. That bed felt so damn good that night, and I try often to remind myself that it’s the same comfy and safe bed now that it was that day.

This is exactly how I used to see things when I grew up in a conservative echo chamber.

And now that I recognize a person’s right to choose and tend to think capital punishment should probably* not be legal, I’ll add that it’s not that my underlying beliefs changed, just how I now understand things. Some people do deserve capital punishment. And innocent people should be protected. But personhood doesn’t start at conception, a person conceiving has a right to decide what happens to their body, and the state can never be trusted to administer capital punishment.

*I say “probably” because I also think it might be necessary to allow it in extreme cases. My reasoning is that if people don’t believe the justice system will adequately punish, they have incentive and no ultimate detergent for taking justice into their own hands.

One of them (Zoom I think) at least used to be able to pop up a request for attendees to turn on their mics. I was glad to see it required permission, and I was not glad to see the host must have clicked that request.

Are there still places that legally mandate car refueling operators? That seemed like a job that literally only existed to give some people a job.

Might have just found out about another?
