The first person in real life that I met who used nixos was so proud to show off his configs. I let him, and was suitably impressed. I then returned home and decided to play dark souls 2 on my lovely little manjaro.

They have tried before (and are still trying) to make contraception illegal. The hobby lobby lawsuit about their insurance paying for birth control was a big part of that.

This was specifically a rule in my house. If you ask while your friend is there, the answer is no. It had to be prearranged.

Yeah, it’s no longer for sale. If you bought it before it was delisted, you can still download/play it through steam. What is fucking atrocious is that I had to go and make an account with epic to play. Well, they can spam and sell my ‘nannerbanner’sfakeemailforepiccunts@proton.me’ all they want. Fucking cunts. .

And is expensive as fuck. As is the downgrade, .40 cal.

Maybe it’s changed since I last had to purchase any, but it was twice as expensive as .45 bullets, and the guns always seemed subpar to other calibers anyway.

Lulz, that was such a good movie. I’m still annoyed by the nukes somehow needing the code to explode apparently uploaded to them at the very last second, but that’s just a small quibble. Plus it was the first time I got to see machine gun rabbit, so that was a real treat.

It’s not so bad. There are several new songs that are easy to remember to 100 beats per minute.

Just to echo dozzi, I’ve investigated quite a few deaths and had people die and we did cpr… I think I can only remember one that voided the bowels after death, and a few right before (old people die on the toilet surprisingly often).

Different folks, different policies and procedures. Ours are similar, barring the shoes. We need socks off or hope remains.

Endeavor makes you horny? Very strange. OP’s picture would disagree.

Okay, so that was a wild story, but… ‘not having a head’ doesn’t really make me think of ‘has most of the brain stem and an ear.’ It’s not much different than humans that have no higher brain functions and are on feeding tubes.

Ha! We all have moments in our old age like that. ;)

Also, we should all complain (or point out) the implications of monopoly, because it’s biggest sin is just being so boring.

And if you’re extra desperate, there’s always manjaro. But I love it. My hardware somehow works out of the box with them. Having the AUR is definitely a godsend for some things. One day I’ll likely contribute something to it as a tiny tribute back.

Does anyone who installed arch using archinstall actually use the ‘i use arch, btw’ meme?

I know… and I also know that we currently depend on truck rigs for shipping in everything, so the taxes would ultimately focus on them MUCH MORE than even the assholes in their coal rollers. That would mean the ‘punishing’ factor of the taxation would be diluted for them, even if we used GCWR of a vehicle as the standard for taxing.

The no arguing thing is key. Everyone eventually finds a topic that they don’t agree on, because politics, in the greek philosophy (aristotle based) sense of the word (I actually loved nicomachean ethics), is about the pursuit of the good life writ large. The chances of two people believing in the exact same life goals is almost zero, so there will be a fundamental disagreement at some point that, because we are talking about using governmental authority as a cudgel (in the modern sense of the word politics) to bring about a ‘good life’ for society, will cause a lot of friction.

In environments where we can’t control who we interact with, and that are semi-public with an ‘audience,’ such as work and family dinners, it’s just easier to say no politics and focus on the agreed areas of shared interests. Otherwise those little frictions can build into socially driven, highly charged arguments.

Keep political discussions to where everyone can easily walk away, where it’s one-on-one, or where everybody comes wanting to talk politics, and things are fine.

On the flip side, I’ve seen people blow up at one another over a political divide - even a purely rhetorical one (arguing whether Dark Elves or Orcs are a racist trope, complaining about the implications of Monopoly or Catan, getting on a high horse about a popular movie or song). The debate over whether “Let It Snow” condones date rape is a popular college age struggle session.

Oh my god! Yes, you can look at orcs and goblins as racist tropes and stand ins, and those can be fun campaigns to run and explore alternative takes and deep reflective moments, but sometimes it’s just easier to say the group wants a kick-in-the-door style dungeon crawl and the enemies are evil.

Also, wasn’t the debate over ‘baby, it’s cold outside,’ not ‘let it snow?’

Is that why the guiness consumption is so high there? I never really thought of it as a sleep aid, but it is pretty drowsiness inducing.

The double their for they’re is driving me nuts.

is the equivalent of almost 150% of Denmark.

I chuckled. Weird comparison usage should be embraced! :D

No, your Ford F-350 SuperDuty does not entitle you to roll coal just to drive to and from your job at Bass Pro Shop, Dale.

I think if we just tax vehicles at the rate they destroy the road, we’d quickly see folks stop having giant vehicles. Set the standard as a bicycle (and be unreasonable about the weight, so 25kg), and then use the lovely X^4 function to determine how much to tax.

A bicycle (and let’s just say the average person is 100kg, and added to the bicycle’s weight, to be unreasonable again) costs $0.50 to register… while the f350 (found a weight for the lightest around 6000 lbs, or 2721.5kg) should be about $0.50 * (2721.5kg/125kg)^4 = $112347.47. I think that would do just fine. Maybe we could adjust down a little, so the bike could be $0.05, and the truck $11234.75.
