Europeans should be self aware enough to recognize that the most devastating criticism of Trump are direct comparisons to historic European tyrants. And forget about Hitler or Mussolini. Donald Trump at his worst can’t even measure up to Leopold II.

If we were to erase the contributions of assholes, abusers, and shitheads the way we do frauds, it would set science, philosophy, and mathematics back hundreds of years.

I think the proposition of avoiding American tech in general will become more and more attractive in the coming years. Governments are already trying to move away from Microsoft for national security reasons. That’ll have the knock-on effect of putting Linux and Libra Office in front of more people at work and school.

In combination with the advances in Linux gaming, This may be the first time since the 80s where the OS you’re first exposed to will be anything other than Windows or Mac.

Andrew is still the second most hated royal ahead of the black lady.

The command pacman -Qm will display every package from the AUR on your system. You can then search the list of compromised packages.

You’re not only allowed to make your own meaning, there is no other choice.

The idea that losers abuse substances is the one of the dumbest correlation/causation mistakes. Almost as stupid as “black people are more likely to be criminal”.

If all communism is soviet, then all capitalism is colonialism and chattel slavery.

It’s true that nihilism cannot justify any action. Remember that when someone says that somebody did something “because” they’re nihilist.

The truth is that nihilists aren’t upset about the lack of meaning; it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter. Everybody constructs their own meaning, nihilists just acknowledge that.

There are plenty of Republicans that pretend to be folksy morons. Tuberville is the genuine article.

This is still more rational than the original Senate, and the modern Senate.

The house band slaps tho.

I just got some lox on sale and the flesh is greasy and it has a strong smell of fish. Tastes fine, but I’ve never seen that before in smoked salmon. Is this normal? I’m not a big fish guy.

To be clear, I and two others have eaten this and haven’t suffered any ill effects.

Fun fact: strip clubs don’t employ the girls.

They’re “independent contractors” who actually pay the house to use the stage or the VIP rooms. This creates a natural filter so that girls that are less popular make less money until they move on. In a mid-sized city like mine, you’ll have a hierarchy of clubs from the one with the richest clients and the hottest dancers, to the poorest clients and lest attractive dancers. Also there will be a club where black dudes are more welcome. (often the “worst” club)

So, stripping was gig work before the term. And it’s no surprise that extra-exploitative labor practices were tested out on women first.

Why is Hitler popular in India? Is it just an anti-British thing?

I know that some Irish and Indians sought alliance with Hitler to aid in their own liberation. Finland did the same thing, not because Britain was an Allied nation, but because the USSR was.

This is a classic example of the decline of the American standard of living!

Boomer misogynists were able to hate their wives. GenX hated on their girlfriends. GenY is forced to hate women in theory.

This doesn’t make any sense. China is running out of land? Solar panels are the thing taking up too much space?

Better to build the parking lots on water so that valuable land can be used for solar panels.

I visited Sequoia Nat Park maybe 10 or 12 years ago. The bears were crazy. I knew I was likely to see a bear, but the animals moved into the camp like they were clocking in.

There were signs that advised campers to make noise like banging pots and pans to drive them off. Less than 30 seconds after sunset, you could hear pots and pans banging in every direction.

I saw two bears that first night, one got close enough that I could hear it breathing.
