It’s not easy committing to the change when you have no knowledge of the platform. The status quo is always easier until it no longer is.

Having seen how different Linux is from what it was 20 years ago, it’s way more approachable than it used to be. Most people could adjust pretty quickly, but with so much of the technical bits hidden from sight, the average PC user these days isn’t as tech savvy as they were many years ago, and making the switch can be intimidating.

Trump has been rambling incoherently for years. Nothing he says makes any sense but he speaks confidently enough that the uneducated masses can’t even tell it’s nonsense.

Tying and/or being tied up in itself has nothing to do with pain.

I think it’s pretty patriotic to respect trans people.

It’s a dragonfruit. For reference, it’s not like a standard cactus. Treat it more like a tropical plant. During the warmer months, they like to be watered frequently. In the winter, you might need to water it once or twice a month.

Using a urinal will most often result in no backsplash, keeping my hands pretty clean.

Using a urinal definitely results in backsplash, and because your hands and body are right in front of it, there’s even less likelihood of avoiding it vs a toilet. Just because you don’t see or feel it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.

What if they slam into a truck at highway speeds? Instantly they’ve gone ftom 100km/h to 0, and you have to stop your car before you slam into them. How much space do you need between you in this scenario?

With 2 seconds worth of space, you have about 55 meters between you, and a normal reaction time would be about 250ms, which leaves you 1.75 seconds and 48 meters to come to a complete stop. And hopefully the person behind you reacts accordingly and doesn’t slam into you as well.

Cornbread tomato mac and cheese would probably be pretty good

200 kg? Try 800 kg

In his younger days, Goku was definitely shot at and they showed it was really painful but not deadly.

Which Pi alternatives don’t?

'What ’ ain’t no school zone I ever heard of. They speak English in What?

Sure, if you’re actually being safe and following good security practices, the risk is low, but the average user does not follow all the best practices.

Which is the same reason they make characters of different races, genders and sexualities in video games.

And people complain about these things “being forced on them” obviously without realizing that all those minorities are typically not represented in media. It’s such a minor thing that should be easy to ignore if it doesn’t apply to you, but when it does apply, feels good to know that someone was thinking about representing someone like you.

Matt Groening said he made the characters in the Simpsons yellow with oddly colored hair so that people would be confused by the colors and try to adjust the knobs on their TVs to fix it only to never get it quite right.

I think the implication is that 50% of people don’t have testicles.

You may be allergic to it, because celery has zero spice.

She’s not great looking, but more importantly she gives handjobs for $10.

Sort of. On one side, they already benefit when the system is more fair, while the other side does everything in their power to rig the system in their favor, trying to lock their opponents out of ever having a chance.

Look at what Texas is trying to do. They’re trying to lock statewide office behind the barrier of number of counties voting for them instead of population. That way Democrats will never again have a statewide office as all the tiny counties with almost no population are Republican-leaning.

So while one side is happy with the status quo, the other side is fighting tooth and nail to make the rules less fair.
