I expect that’s some people, yeah. Accepting that climate change is real means accepting uncomfortable ideas. Like that they’re responsible, at least a little.
Some people can’t accept that they’re everything less than a saint. You tell them that walking to the store is better for them and the environment than driving and they go berserk. Can’t handle the implication that they’re not perfectly faultless.
Many people would rather everyone suffer pollution and climate catastrophe than those people have a nice life.
Imagine a context where the reader is looking at the news for the first time that day. They think they missed news in the morning, perhaps the US starting aggressions, and now China has dropped another bomb.
I’m sure you can imagine such a scenario
Because I thought China had literally bombed the US for a very tense moment before I finished reading the headline. Especially because of how the words wrapped. I didn’t need that stress.
Can we please not write headlines like that when we’re on the verge of ww3 and literal bombs might be dropped on the US in the coming months?
Good. Fuck Microsoft. No regrets about running Linux for the past few years.
|| has a similar “oh that’s how it works in other places” behavior. I didn’t realize that for a while.
Some people will do anything to continue to fit in with their group. I don’t think it’s always even a conscious choice.
Many people are just as stupid as him.
Our society prioritizes trash like nft startups instead of education
Still happily using Linux.
I did switch the DE to kde plasma because the cosmic desktop was giving games a lot of trouble. Opening in weird window sizes, mostly. I did some light trouble shooting but decided I didn’t care that much about the desktop environment, so I installed the 2nd one.
Why not both?
I want to say that everyone hates that kind of purple job prose, but I suspect there’s some small minority of people who actually think and talk like that.
I kind of want to build a LinkedIn but you’re only allowed to talk like a real person. If you post slop or whatever that kind of shit is, you’re banned and we all pledge not to work with you.
Still on Linux. Updated to the new pop!_os LTS. It’s been pretty good. The new desktop environment has had a few quirks where I had to fuss with hitting alt+enter to get some games appropriately full screen, but generally it’s been good.
Worth it to be free of microslop
Corporate abuse of language is frustrating. I’ve worked with a lot of product manager types that really want to use extra words. “Let’s just swag it”. “We need to force rank these initiatives”. “Can you do a research spike this sprint?”
