Every lesson I learned the hard way.

If you ever have the opportunity to learn from someone else’s mistakes, do it. The reason most people don’t is because that usually involves listening to someone else and taking their advice and many people aren’t willing to do that.

Convention. “Back in my day,” memes were made mostly in MS Paint or MS Word. With MS Word, impact was the default font for an out-of-box variety of Word Art. Since it worked well for the task and was easily accessible, it became a common choice, then a ubiquitous component of the “meme” format.

If you’re overtaking, you’re supposed to speed up. If speeding up would put you at an unsafe speed, then overtaking is too dangerous at that moment. If there isn’t enough difference in speed to overtake in a timely manner, there isn’t enough difference in speed you should want to overtake.

Just because cruise control makes you drive a constant speed doesn’t mean it makes you drive the correct speed. Either adjust it down and accept your place in traffic, or turn it off long enough to speed up and complete your overtake without turning your two-ton death machine into an obstacle for everyone else to maneuver around.

fuck them lol in a rush for nothing

First of all, you don’t know that. They could be having an emergency. If it was your relative dying at the hospital, you’d want people to move out of your way too. Second of all, it’s not your job to police the roads. It’s not your job to make sure people drive slow enough. If you think someone is being dangerous by driving too fast, the safest thing you can do is get the fuck out of their way. Adding another car to an already dangerous situation only makes the situation more dangerous.

Call and report them if tou have to, but don’t try to enforce the law, that’s not your job.

They kinda do. There are five possible causes of death: homicide, suicide, accidental, natural causes, and unknown. All deaths not determined to be accidental or natural require a police investigation.

Small numbers begin appearing out of thin air. A red bar drains slowly.

Which one?

He’s got you on that one

FDR was a Democratic Socialist. Trump says socialism is great!

(fingers in ears)
“LA LA LA! CHINA GOOD! LA LA LA!”

That’s what you sound like.

Don’t forget glazing the GTA 6 trailer

Physical media also comes with a license.

licenses are a very IT central idea.

No, that’s just the implementation you’re most familiar with. Licenses are a copyright idea that IT adopted and made digital. Every physical movie and game you own also comes with a license that authorizes your retail use of it, but forbids your commercial use of it. You can’t rent your copy of Shrek out to people, nor can you charge admission to people to watch Shrek at your house, nor are you allowed to make copies of your Shrek DVD and sell them, for example.

Ben Franklin was very progressive for his time. He owned a few slaves early in his life, but soon freed them and spent the rest of his life as one of that time period’s most outspoken critics of slavery. He even bought a printing press so he could spread anti-slavery rhetoric more effectively.

You have internet, there’s no excuse for being wrong unless you just like spreading misinformation.

Whenever lemmings feel like posts are getting too political, doomy, or whatever, the hive mind decides to post beans

I don’t want to be vegan. It has nothing to do with messaging, I just like eating meat. I don’t support the way we abuse animals for food either, but I’m not willing to go vegan over it. Nobody’s perfect. At least I know what I am and can accept that.

No. I typed it with my own thumbs, from my own mind.

All of that sounds unintuituve and complicated, which I think is the main complaint overall.

Best start believing. Politics directly affects literally every single aspect of your day-to-day life whether you believe in it or not.

You used to have master and slave processes too until it was changed to parent and child

Yeah, I’ve heard. I’ve always associated the terms with dom/sub play, not slavery.

I get the reasoning as to why, but it seems odd to me that the IT terms were fixated on, but not the engineering terms; “master” and “slave” are still the accepted terms in the context of hydraulic systems, for example.

It’s also generally accepted that “retard” and “retarded” are generally acceptable terms when used in an engineering context. If we can accept that some terms are accepted in the a technical context, it seems inconsistent not to apply the same thinking to IT terminology.

Just more stuff to keep us bickering with each other so we don’t look up and realize where all the real problems are coming from, imo.
