Why songbirds and not other vocal mammals like squirrels? Do you think they know that some bird calls sound annoying as shit? Do you think animals cannot differentiate other animals apart and just assume anything that makes noise is a “songbird”?

Go back in the shower, this one needs more time to cook.

X is banned in Brazil now.

The problem is like that xkcd comic about experts underestimating the common person’s knowledge in their field. Linux is still not user friendly enough for the vast majority of people. Linux users just don’t seem to understand that most people are in the “wtf is a distro?” level of knowledge and would absolutely panic at the mere sight of a terminal.

When my much younger twin cousins were born, my Aunt and Uncle decided to restrict them almost 100% from screens for the first 3 years of their lives, to the point where they would ask people to put their phones away when around them.

At the time, I thought that was a bit extreme, but seeing those two grow into the most active, intelligent, and happy kids I’ve ever met (especially in their generation), I no longer question their parenting methods. There are obviously a ton of other factors and good parenting practices they followed, but seeing the numerous issues “iPad kids” tend to have, I can’t help but feel they were really on to something.

Pretty sure the fake stuff has to call themselves maple-flavored syrup, pancake syrup, or just syrup, and only the real stuff is called “maple syrup”

Rather than just the typical horniness that most teenage boys have?

Reveals? Is that the right word? The sphere has been around for a while now, was this information not known? Doesn’t seem like something they were intentionally keeping secret.

Installed? Sure, you can do that by lunchtime.

Getting it set up? Making sure all your drivers are working right? Troubleshooting issues? Finding alternatives to programs you need that don’t work on Linux? Especially for someone who has never used Linux before? That will take much longer.

My anime site of choice is a UI nightmare filled with ads and banners. Super ugly and bloated. And it just happens to contain pretty much every animated show or movie in history. It’s been around for over a decade now. I’ve gotta think the shittiness is intentional to avoid suspicion.

The latest coup attempt really sounds like a publicity stunt.

No one died or got injured.

They took over the old presidential palace, rather than the new one the president was actually at.

The general leading it said Morales told him to do it.

Not saying it couldn’t be real, but if they definitely made a lot of the same choices they would have if they were faking it.

Carrier pigeons.

I wish I could downvote you more.

“Regular people having trouble with file management? Why don’t they just use this obscure, unintuitive program that they clearly won’t know how to use!”

You mean like an MMO where different maps are arranged in an infinite hexagonal pattern that’s randomly/procedurally generated based on different biomes, that also keeps track of how many players have entered/completed each hex and begins scaling down the difficulty in said hex and evolving it into a more peaceful zone, that way the higher traffic areas eventually form safe zones/towns for low level characters while low traffic areas encourage high level characters to visit and explore, with the highest level characters able to survive unexplored areas and expand the map for all players, all while having developer tools to specifically add unique dungeons/events/items directly to tiles so that the game doesnt feel a mile wide and an inch deep but instead as if the whole world map is alive and constantly changing?

Yea… That’d be cool.

It’s amazing how many ways you’re wrong when you spend even a second thinking about it. Why don’t you go back in the shower and let this one simmer a bit more.

Fun fact, that is canonically Spear, the caveman from Tartakovsky’s show Primal.

This will be the third time I will have lost all my comment history and have to recreate my large block list. It’s not just a flip of the switch.
