  • i think you're just salty that your inbox blew up with people telling you what an idiotic blowhard you sound like

  • linguistic prescriptivism is for weird losers bent on controlling others' thoughts. the joke is fine, i think you're upset about something else here.

  • more like

    "have you seen Mindless Action 7: Ultimate CG 3: The Reckoning yet?"

    no, I don't keep up with Marvel movies, they just don't appeal to me.

    "well it's insert 30 minute lore dump and it ties into the ending of Space Hero Movie 3 because insert 20 minute side rant about Space Mask Guy's entire history while also being an indirect sequel to Weird Magic Dude 6 because of when Weird Magic Dude altered the timeline by extended synopsis of Weird Magic Dude 2, 5, and 6 which ties into the Unremarkables Netflix series, that's why indicipherable gibberish, and then The Bulk eats a car with Alien Skin Chin inside and Shrinky Dinky has to get him back out again! It's amazing, you gotta see it!"

    idk man i watched Metal Noggin and Space Hero Movie and didn't really care for either of them, the genre just doesn't appeal to me. i'm glad you have a thing you like but it's not really my bag.

    goes to internet "why are people so vocal about not liking marvel movies, as if we care?".

  • I've been saying for eight years he'd be more dangerous as a martyr than his stupid alive self.

  • right now mine has manjaro+cinnamon. i booted my wife's Win11 laptop to it so she could test drive it and within ten minutes she was asking how to get to the installer. i hope to repeat this process with others as well.

  • Dude Socrates was convinced that reading and writing would ruin everyone's memory who grew up with it. Whining about

    <innovation>

    somehow handicapping the next generation by making them "too dependent on technology" or whatever and couching it in reasonable-sounding terms is as old as language, and time always makes fools of those who indulge in that sort of masturbatory delusion. You're just jealous we had cooler toys, own it.

  • "Gifted" education in the US means they burn us out with weird "critical thinking" extracirriculars and then berate us when the senioritis hits two years early.

  • I transferred schools in the middle of 10th grade, and the new Algebra class I landed in was several chapters ahead. I never caught up, but the teacher passed anyone who turned in literally anything for homework so I did that.

    Now in my 30's I'm getting into indie game design, and I need that gap filled so I can write the code I need. So I went to the local thrift shop and picked up a couple old textbooks (since it's safe to assume that nothing groundbreaking has happened in the field of basic algebra in the past twenty years) for fifty cents and I've been working my way through them. I don't understand everything that's happening, but I'm pushing ahead with the faith that somewhere along the line things will "click".

  • who the hell calls rugby "rugger"? that's even worse than "soccer".

    1. This is foosball.
    2. The sport with the egg is "gridiron football", we call it "football" for short for the same reason other countries call association football "football" for short, it's the most popular variant here.
    3. We don't call it "American football" because that's not what it's called, you lot say that because of point 2. Nobody is going to say "European football" because that's not what it's called either.
    4. The word "soccer" was imported from the UK (seriously that word is british as hell, you really think we came up with that shit?), and we use it for reasons outlined in points 2 and 3, and also because "european football" is inaccurate, tiresome, and stupid sounding.

    ~5. This is the first and only time I've ever heard of rugby union football being referred to as "ruggers", I never thought I'd read a dumber-sounding word than soccer but you're just full of surprises today.~ For some reason i was imagining one of the replies was the same person, this was in error.

  • i find that people who cry about this-or-that is destroying humor or whatever, are pretty much universally bad at being funny. maybe up your game and stop blaming punctuation.

  • oh look another troll dragging geopolitical culture war bullshit into everything

  • not at all, thank you!

  • fuck it, where do i start? if spending a little bit of my time writing a css sheet results in Google losing market share i'm 1000% down.

  • look im as stoked as anyone else but that information should really be in a section explaining it in detail further down the page, for Tyson, for Simpson, and even for Trump. Say who he is and what he did that's notable, not what the government did about it. it should say "fraudster" if anything, because that's who he is. i don't think labeling people vaguely as "felons" helps anything, and mostly serves to dehumanize people who have caught charges whether it was justified or not. that's just my two cents.

  • that's not special

  • basically everything beyond launching itunes/safari/whatever is tucked away in weird non-obvious places. i literally had to have someone show me how to get the list of all apps (it's called something absolutely baffling that i've since forgotten) after clicking on and combing through things for like half an hour. the longest it's taken me to suss out the same, to get a list of applications, on literally any other OS has been seconds, maybe a minute at longest.

    so yeah, my example is the single most basic thing a user should be able to do in order to use the computer, is so unintuitive on mac that a grown ass adult who is a chronic distro-hopper needed help figuring it out. and god forbid you want to change a setting beyond the wifi, screen brightness, and audio volume.

  • versatile

    sure. idk about "the most", i haven't seen it do anything that other DMs can't do with some tinkering. hell just installing cairo-dock yields a very similar ui experience imo.

    usable

    i can't agree, my experience is things not staying where i put them, random crashes, layout and themes not "sticking" between logins, and occasionally the entire session crashing - all this from a fresh install on an untinkered-with system, and it's been a consistent experience through the years. maybe you're luckier than i am?

    best applications

    i never met an application i wanted to run that i couldn't because i had the wrong DE. what are you talking about?
