Totally works. When I started referring to things as "skibidi" it was suddenly dropped from my kids' lexicon.

I like how you didn't use a single word more than necessary to communicate the question.

Yeah, that's true. Humans are born knowing nothing, learn from other humans, and are then capable of making something new. Like standing on the shoulders of giants. I wonder if ML/AI is capable of that yet, or does it purely regurgitate others' work.

LTS for Ubuntu are every two years; April of the even years. Next LTS will be 26.04, then 28.04 etc.

I've heard this described as a velvet rut.

Personally, I sometimes ponder if this is a part of The Great Filter. We have evolved to survive under constant threats in harsh environments, so when those dangers and threats are removed we don't know how to handle it. We start to perceive minor things as bigger problems. I wonder if this is part of what we need to learn to deal with before we can live peacefully with our neighbours and nature.

I was about 15 and queued up for hours to get tickets for me and my mate to see Nirvana. I think they were about £13.50 each and then £1.50 ticket fee. Between then and the concert Kurt Cobain killed himself. I marched right back to HMV and got my £13.50 back. 🤦

Imagine how awesome it would be to own one of the few, complete, tickets for a Nirvana concert that never happened.

This is funny, but would be more accurate if it said "MAGA Christians" instead of "White Christians".

I'm an atheist and most of the Christians I know are pretty accepting. It's almost as if they respect the teachings of Jesus and aspire to be more like him, unlike all too many MAGA Christians.

It's actually worse still. When I first heard it, the second B wasn't "boys". I'm Gen X and it was disgusting to hear even back then. Please don't lump us in with the boomers. A lot changed in a few short years.

Exactly. FUD is what the opposition use to keep the revolution from happening, to prevent those who want to see change from believing it will work.

And as for accepting others, that's another big hurdle to overcome. People need to put aside their differences to work towards a common goal, and for that there needs to be organised energetic leadership. Something else that the opposition tries to prevent.
