Can’t that be prevented by safety glass instead? Doors that need a key to open from the inside risk trapping people inside the building.

Oh yeah and his reach extends way beyond the kernel. I mean everyone knows that RMS started the GNU project and contributed so much of the operating system but it was the Linux kernel that finally got things going. When people were finally able to boot the operating system and start using it things ton off!

Right, and we don’t know why anyone would choose to remain silent if they’re aware of the issue, unless they were paid to sign an NDA.

At least he wasn’t caught promoting a browser extension that turned out to be a huge scam that stole money from both regular people and other content creators trying to earn some affiliate revenue.

Soooo true! I can’t believe how much they’ve made the damn computer fight you on this!

Avast, ye mateys!

Netflix selection is crap anyway!

The whole point is to display your wealth and status for mating purposes.

They’re basically showering under the steam wand of a giant espresso machine!

This is the real reason to be scared. She’s gonna hog that hot water and he’s gonna freeze! Showering together seems so sexy and romantic in the movies but it’s actually just really awkward and uncomfortable!

Maybe it’s better if you got some kind of rich person giant luxury shower! Wait, of course it’s better!

If you’re gonna sell dates you better be a grower! Dates don’t just grow themselves!

Poe’s law applies here. Touché gaydaddy, touché!

I don’t see how the Trill experience is like the trans experience in anything but the most superficial way. Unless we’re saying that a trans person’s new identity is something that was external and has since been imposed and internalized.

But that doesn’t get it right either. Every trans person I’ve met has rejected their previous identity and adopted a new one, but Trill incorporate their old identity into the new, and form a kind of synthesis.

The last part I find incongruous is that trans people work so hard to align their physical presentation with their internal experience so that others’ treatment of them reflects their self-perception but Trill defy this. Jadzia Dax presents very strongly as fem but behaves very outwardly as masc. This is a character ultimately designed to satisfy the male gaze and the male desire for a “drinking buddy”; i.e. the “action girl” trope.

Good luck, soldier!

This is the first time I’ve ever heard the Vienna connection. I thought Starbucks was based on Italian coffee (espresso, cappuccino, latte, macchiato, etc).

But now their coffee has more in common with Dairy Queen than what Italians drink.

He’s been an asshat at least as far back as when he was enrolled at Harvard. Facebook was originally called Facemash, a “hot or not” clone for guys at Harvard to rate the attractiveness of their female classmates (without consent).

Yeah. Nobody expects to be able to walk into McDonald’s and sit at a table all day using wifi without buying anything. Same goes for any restaurant or cafe to be honest, except maybe ones in public libraries or on college campuses.

That’s basically what Reddit was and now Lemmy is. It’s the best model and I don’t see any reason why Lemmy can’t be the forever home for people who prefer this reverse chronological feed style!

And we wouldn’t have to cross the border to fight wildfires anymore!

Canada has a massive program of equalization transfer payments where taxes collected in rich provinces go to subsidize poor ones. The US does not have anything like this. None of the state governments have their budgets subsidized by other states.

Yeah, right. If California joined they’d be subsidizing health care for the rest of Canada through transfer payments since every province would be considered a “have not province” compared to California.

This is like inviting your billionaire uncle to move in with you and also open a joint bank account.

Edit: just to put some numbers on my point, the GSP (gross state product) of California is $4 trillion, nearly twice that of the GDP of Canada which is $2.18 trillion. Canada’s economy would effectively triple in size by bringing in California.
