Blue collar dudes yell into cellphones. Doesn’t matter how smart. They just do. It used to drive me nuts but I get it now.

You are completely correct and normalizing gun violence is a way to justify not restricting access.

Prepared to be roasted alive for this opinion but studies (undoubtedly of white, middle class, US undergrads) seem to indicate women find clutter and messes more psychologically distressing than men do.

I’m a man but I’ve had many deadbeat guys as roommates and I am definitely far more bothered by messes and clutter than they were so I kind of get this.

If you are the “mind it more” person, you will find yourself rage cleaning because the other person can wait you out as long as they want if they are taking you for granted and not concerned you’ll leave over this.

So there are two toxic traits here:

1. A willingness to wait out chores even if you know it’s angering people you are with.

2. A kind of willful blindness. “Honestly, I didn’t think it was that bad.”

The second one might be worse.

The first is excusable (plausible deniability) with the “men are oblivious” defense if the aggrieved party is not being overt in their request that a chore be done.

The second is a person (some women obviously do this, too) refusing to learn to empathize and recognize when things are getting to the point where it’s bothering the other person. From an interpersonal perspective this is probably more infuriating over the years.

For a long time I ssh’d into my vps to manage tasks and notes in emacs and even play dwarf fortress.

With utilities like screen you can rejoin sessions anywhere, etc.

Have you tried this?

Never tried to get a GUI running like this.

I had a cancer removed from my ear and they bandaged it a lot like this? There are two primary means if bandaging an ear and they both look ridiculous. I have no doubt he got them to “make it look like a big deal” but you are not slapping a bandaid on that and calling it a day, right?

Edit - Moh’s surgery dressing is what I’m talking about.

Look, I hate the guy, but that is how you bandage an ear.

People got shot so that parts real.

He could have been nicked or he could have caught it on a sharp point bending down or he could have cut it with a fingernail.

My money is on the fingernail. He’s probably on blood thinners. He’s probably got thin, brittle skin. He probably clawed at his ear when the bullet whizzed by.

He could easily have nicked it. A nick can bleed like crazy and also heal very fast.

From there it’s all spin…

The simplest explanation is probably this given how fast it healed, I guess.

It’s crazy.

“Oh, your drunk uncle Mike who has three arson convictions, thinks you turned the family against him, and is in your attached garage with gas and a lighter threatening to burn it down? Don’t worry about him, he’s harmless!”

It will be nice when Trump has Lavrov over, only allows Russian journalists to cover the meeting, and reveals a bunch of classified info. True patriots want that. Right?

This seems performative since you could already do this easily unless the drive was bitlockered and you didn’t have a recovery key.

Celebrity gossip headlines and weather for a place you went on a business trip last year.

There’s a reason I still use lots of email in the age of IM. Permanent records, please. I will email a record of in person convos or chats on stuff like this. I do it politely and professionally, but I do it.

I have had numerous managers tell me there was no time for QA in my storied career. Or documentation. Or backups. Or redundancy. And so on.

And the Dems have tons of footage of Trump spouting crazy nonsense.

Everyone thought Biden was too old anyway but some undecided voters think Trump is “smart”.

Also, if you immigratted or your parents did, he just called you or your parents rapists, escaped convicts, mental patients, and terrorists.

Yup for sure

In a city I lived in the built a speed skating ring in the middle of the city for some national winter games and it’s used as a free skating oval in the winter and running track when it’s warm. That scale of infrastructure seems ok and it’s much beloved by the people. However, that’s so different from a massive stadium.

This was true of NFL stadiums for US cities last I checked, which was several years ago. In general this stuff looks like a prestige project that rarely produces enough residual benefit to the hosting city to make it worthwhile.

Do you trust the government?

The people down voting you should try not paying taxes for a while and we’ll see how that goes for them.

Sadly true and most people aren’t wired to see it. The difference, in my mind, is the degree to which this is politely hidden. I do pay tax willing and recognize the value of government versus anarchy but this is true on a fundamental level.

Edmonton says hi. :)
