It’s absolutely authoritarian. You’re an idiot if you think otherwise. I’m not even going to offer an argument, you’re just stupid.

One thing to note is for all our partisan noise, the USA is a nation of centrists. If either party would put up a candidate that didn’t pander to the extremes of their party they’d win in a landslide, but that doesn’t make for very good down ticket fundraising and that’s what it’s all about.

No Democrat or Republican gives any shit about the actual country. All they’re interested in doing is making themselves rich.

I’ve eaten partridge before. It’s not bad. Not sure I’d eat turtledove if I had other options.

Also it’s only good for grilled cheese, bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, or melting onto leftover spaghetti. I will die on this hill.

But it’s the best option for all of these and thus it will always be in my fridge. Except the spaghetti… That’s weird but I’m curious.

And before y’all get all shitty, I’m not talking about your whatever melts. That’s not a grilled cheese. A grilled cheese has exactly 3 ingredients: bread, butter, cheese. That’s it. And that cheese is best when it’s Kraft singles. Fight me.

I feel like people are doing a disservice by using the phrase “toxic masculinity”

You can’t use that phrase without implying masculinity in general is a bad thing. Trying to draw a distinction between “masculinity” and “toxic masculinity” is using the same logic as the people that say “but you’re one of the good ones” when they’re talking to someone of [insert race, gender, religion, etc].

They’re toxic people that cause these problems. There’s nothing wrong with masculinity.

It’s punishing me and I’m using their app. Their video loading has been spotty as shit lately. And I know it’s not my bandwidth, I’ve got 5Gbps available and 12ms latency to YouTube’s closest data center.

I’m not even blocking the ads when I use it.

Then there’s a “fuck around and find out” kinda thing happening, no?

Israel shouldn’t stop until every member of Hamas and Hezbollah are dead. The people of Iran and Palestine would do well to put them in the crosshairs.

Why did they murder, rape, and kidnap? Because they’re terrorists. That’s what terrorists do.

There used to be an app that was a cat. It was almost definitely spyware, though.

The cat food is probably always there. Kitty was trying to buy nip on the dark web.

Depends on what my state of mind is. I often enjoy the “make” but now and then I have the want but not the drive for it.

You can just grep for carriage returns followed by newlines, grep -Pirn '\r\n$' /path/to/whatever. It’ll identify all your problematic files.

I love cats. This is accurate and makes them better.

For anyone doing this, set up your spending and budget alerts and actions. It’s possible to accidentally fuck something up and end up with an aws bill that’ll suck, but this will give you some measure of protection from that in case you accidentally misconfigure something.

Note: Create your partitions from your empty space. You may need to resize your existing partition to do this. But don’t practice on your main drive.

This is a simple job, in that the steps are few, but it’s something that causes catastrophic data loss if you get it wrong.

I’d recommend buying a cheap second drive, doesn’t have to be big or even good. Partition it, mount it, make sure you can make the partitions automatically mount, teach yourself to copy data around, umount it and remount, make sure you got it right.

Just… these are all very simple things. I wouldn’t hesitate to repartition my own drives. But if you fuck it up you fuck it up good. Make sure you know the operations you’re taking first. Measure twice, cut once, all that jazz.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Our devices are old hat now. They’re part of our life. Even people who don’t understand them have a vague idea how they work.

They used to be like magic. Now we are desperate for new magic.

Boot from a live distro so you can modify your boot disk. Use the disk utility to create partitions. Copy the data to the relevant partitions ensuring to maintain file ownership and permissions. Modify /etc/fstab to mount the partitions at the designated locations in the filesystem.

I don’t bother putting anything but /home on its own dedicated partition, but if you ask 10 people this question you’ll get 12 opinions, so just do what feels right.

Excuse me we already have a Vermin candidacy. Trump’s gonna have to get something else.
