We’d get there faster if we got rid of farming alfalfa and golf courses.

I pretty much ignore anything from BYU, but especially where psychology is involved. They shouldn’t even be accredited given how invested they were in conversion therapy.

Same here, although it did eventually lead to years of employment as a web dev.

It was around 1991 in the university computer lab. Just a green screen dumb terminal for email and newsgroups. Played too much Nettrek after hours on the Spark workstations later on.

This ought to happen everywhere. Either I’m the admin on my machine or I’m not. If it’s not, I’m not sure how much longer I’ll tolerate a Windows machine.

I live in the US and speak three languages. I almost never have an opportunity to speak anything other than English, and it’s not for lack of desire.

That said, I think the word pathetic is way too harsh. People just have different needs and priorities.

He’s one of the absolute best.

The only way I’d watch Tucker Carlson on purpose is in a cage fight with Mike Tyson. Pay-per-view is fine, but I’ll travel if I have to.

Winter, you say. It felt like spring yesterday.

Given trade, it doesn’t seem to be in their best interest to cripple the US.

Nope. Not even once, and that’s just fine.

Bwahahahahahahahaaaaaa! Loser!

My Internet has Pihole and uBlock. I don’t know what these ad things are.

They meant to say fecal recognition. They’re struggling to determine the difference between a Whopper and a whopping dookie. No luck so far, and I doubt an app is going to help.

I used to live there a long time ago. It wasn’t terribly stable then. It’s sad that it’s only gotten worse. It’s a beautiful place, with some of the kindest people I’ve ever known. I hope they find a way out of this.

I’m not so sure about that. It took me forever yesterday to get my international keyboard setup to work on Ubuntu the way I wanted it to. I’m saying that as someone who’s been using Unix/Linux in a school, IT and home setting for 30 years. It was unforgivably difficult.

Why not just give them herpes? Less dangerous, and certainly less shameful.

I think you might have it backwards. An empathy deficit (sociopathy) is highly correlated with the C-suite. It’s not that sociopathy makes a person a better leader. It doesn’t. It’s more that a person with dark triad traits isn’t going to care who they step on or what lines they cross to get there.

In other words, they were already screwed up.

Well fuck em. It’s not like they had a lot going for them anyway.

Ben Folds. He’s got classical, jazz and rock chops, with a full helping of the wit and mischief in his lyrics.
