  • You don’t own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon

    I don’t own mine because I pirated them

    We are not the same

    edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I’m much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction… I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

    No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don’t think using “thicc” is any more than using “cool” is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).

    “OH LAWD” in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.







  • I’ve gone back and forth between a common bashrc file in my Dropbox folder that is symlinked to ~/.bashrc on my devices, and one that is imported from a regular bashrc instead, and recently it ended up in a state where it accidentally tried to do both, resulting in an endless loop. I discovered this on my Pop!_OS PC, which reacted to this situation by crashing on login lol. What??





  • Women are so missed and loved the fact they were down to you and I think they are you and big boy and I can get them out from here in a few days or two weeks until they can start by the way back in a bit I think it will autocomplete me know if I need it or anything or not to unilaterally it is also not the only one of them but it doesn’t have a great time for them but they have a great job and I think they’re not to be the best pizza ever had a webapp in their power orientation whatever it was a closed practice all day but they are becoming more of the best people who have a lot to go through some things


  • If you have access to Disney+ or piracy, watching a couple of (they’re eight minutes long) episodes of the show Bluey would probably charm your butt off and also give you a lot to go on for fun ways to engage with kids.

    It’s all about being real and in the moment, and giving them ways to experience novelty. A parenting book my partner was reading reminded her that all you need to do to engage a (toddler, but the point stands) child’s interest is to turn the laundry basket upside down. Everything that’s dull to you is new to them (and everything that’s exciting to you, they’re often not ready for yet).


  • The submission title of “earning trust” is fucking hilarious but it speaks to your question. Trump has appeared before an audience of Bitcoin enthusiasts in recent days. He’s apparently open to reaching out to crowds that aren’t his core MAGA audience at this particular moment.

    Knowing as we do now that this event went to shit for him, it’s easy to look back and say it wasn’t strategic for him to do it, but for the campaign manager planning the event, it was probably an easier call than letting him debate Joe Biden was, and he [will be perceived as having] “nailed that,” right?
