1. They remove our ability to leave the planet.
2. Continually

Done.

You paint Bernie and AoC with the Trump brush?

“I hear you. Like, right now?”

I don’t need to coddle the dramatists.

unground

Like peppercorns before I put them in the pepper mill?

We only know our own selves.

You’re kookin’ at it. I have no time for the vapidity of Facebook, 'gram, Snapchat, etc. I only hit FB now for the messaging with my family and some short-reel dopamine.

I don’t really understand the point?

Correct: you don’t. I’m basing this only off what you wrote, but I’m reasonably confident of my answer. Glad I could answer the question as asked.

Shaame!

Well, we get to slam it and heckle its users, because, well, we need SOME joy in The world…

To kids, anyone with 15 years in is “old”.

Guess what they called us when we pointed out the procedural failures in its design? Yep: old.

Meanwhile I’m just here booting my sysV box reliably and not cringing about HUPping dbus. I’ve never seen as frail a shit bag as a Systemd-afflicted install.

‘new standards’ vs ‘dunning-kruger-based decisions you are locked into’. Sure.

Systemd ‘haters’ are the people who know better and learned from best-practice.

I feel ya. I have the absolute worst poker face, and I cannot bluff. My uncles all liked to get together and play poker over the holidays, but the one time I was invited it was a bloodbath.

The work people haven’t figured this out yet.

That’s not weird. That’s normal.

1. Mirriam-webster isn’t a great dictionary. It’s in the name.
2. Dictionaries don’t say what’s correct; only what’s popular.

it’s widely accepted that the word “literally” can be used to add emphasis

You found the root cause.

The solution is vicious heckling of idiots who misuse it - treat them like a middle-school drop-out - until they fix their behavior. Do the same for people who pluralize mass nouns as well: trainings, supports (not used like struts), emails.

NiN has Something I Can Never Have for the feels. Give Johnny’s ghost this one.

Cost to harvest peaches to freely give to homeless dudes: very non-zero

Cost to burn peach trees: zero

Let me know how the class action goes.
