The Martian. I’ve read it twice, and would love to read it again. It’s so good.

When Trump tariffs cause a recession.

I don’t see any system where fast-tracked, state-sanctioned murder can ever work.

I think some of their business oriented laptops are fine, but every consumer model I’ve owned, I’ve had problems with. I can’t trust them anymore, especially since they marketed an XPS as working with Ubuntu, then later changed their marketing to remove the fingerprint reader, which didn’t actually work with Ubuntu. I bought that machine solely because they promised me it fully worked with Ubuntu.

I can’t remember the last time nothing has been going on in my life. It sounds wonderful.

I think that was the generally agreed upon belief before capitalist propaganda changed our collective morality.

I would argue that every 16 year old is still mentally a child. It’s just not enough time to learn how to be an adult.

Fun fact: it costs more to put someone to death than to keep them in prison for life. This comes from all the court and logistical costs. The death penalty is actually quite expensive.

Another fun fact: innocent people have been put to death, and there are still many innocent people on death row. Look into the Innocence Project to learn more.

I think people should pay for software, including open source software. Don’t get me wrong, I love open source. I’ve probably spent multiple thousands of hours writing and maintaining open source software. That’s only because I have free time and like to do it. I’ve made $0 doing it, even though several companies use my software. If it started affecting my life negatively, I’d have to stop.

We pay for things like video games, but it’s incredibly difficult to make money in open source, even though the time investment can be just as much for the developers. I guess my point is, if there’s an open source project you like or you think is valuable, toss the devs a donation.

The model I like is free for personal use/paid for commercial use, but doing that in open source is practically impossible as a small dev. Big tech companies should be required to support the open source devs they rely on, imho.

Put your fingers together like so:

Then push your thumb to the right while pressing your middle finger down hard. Let your thumb slide out, releasing your middle finger, which will snap against your hand like this:

Your middle finger hitting your hand is what makes the snapping noise, so the harder your press your middle finger down, the louder the snap will be.

I’m shocked that fucking minorities over didn’t work out for them. Blow in the political wind, get sucked into the political wood chipper. Get fucked, Target.

I think it’s incredibly sad that we even need to study this. It’s pretty obvious just from looking at cis men. Take almost any cis dude that has a condition that gives him enormous bojongohongos and he’ll be way happier with a breast reduction surgery. This is incredibly obvious to even transphobes.

So, a trans man with huge gongabadongos is obviously going to be way happier after a breast reduction surgery too. And hormones also have physical effects. Most guys like to have deep voices and facial hair. Not all, but most. So why wouldn’t a trans man?
