Your conclusion does not follow your premises. Just because one thing has an attribute does not mean the thing that came before it has that same attribute. See:
- Humans are born of the universe.
- Humans are supposed to have two arms and two legs.
- Therefore, the universe is supposed to have two arms and two legs.

human response to existential dread
I realize this was likely not intended, but you’ve ironically removed most of the nuance in why religions came to exist in this statement lol.

Shame it takes so long to get to the good stuff.

I think a bigger deal is that over 80% of them are dying on ASRock boards. Not a good look for ASRock.

Im not saying sticking with windows is the better option. Im just saying people should stop acting like it’s a one and done switch with no extra effort needed.

They have been suffering for years and never thought once about alternatives like Ubuntu
The average user is pretty unaffected by windows’ enshitification. And if it doesn’t fuck over their daily life, most people are more than happy to keep using the thing they’re familiar with. Especially when switching would require not only learning one new thing, but a large number of new things. For example, do you use paint.net? Sucks to suck, time to find a Linux alternative and learn how to use it and hope it can do everything you need it for.
Linux fanatics like to pretend its as simple as installing a different OS and that’s it, everything else in your workflow will work immediately with no research needed. But that’s simply not true.

It’s a good thing we got rid of all those unqualified DEI hires!

I agree that we seem to use language differently, and it’s pretty interesting to see. Both of us have been upvoted by at least one or two other people as well, so it seems some people agree with you and some with me despite our completely different takes, so I don’t think either of us are really wrong.

According to the dictionary, ‘is’ and ‘was’ are respectively a present and past tense singular of the world ‘be’. The definition of the word ‘be’ (or at least, the one I find relevant here), is “having the state, quality, identity, nature, role, etc., specified”. This seems like a significantly more important part of the sentence to be emphasizing here.
On the moon he is the alien.
As opposed to who? I still just can’t understand why you would emphasize ‘he’, when there are no other subjects that we could be talking about. Like, obviously we’re talking about Neil, so why would you put emphasis on it? On the other hand, the fact that he actually ‘is/was’ an alien is pretty surprising to think about and thus the important bit.
- Comment on Neil A. 2 months ago:
The emphasis is not being placed on was because it’s past tense, it’s being placed on was because the shitpost is ironically somewhat accurate. You can replace it with is if you’d like for the same meaning. On the other hand, everyone knows we’re talking about Neil as there is no other relevant subject, so bringing attention to the word he doesn’t really make any sense.
Perhaps it would read better if they had said “…he actually was an alien”?
- Comment on Neil A. 2 months ago:
Why would he be italicized? ‘Was’ would be italicized because the emphasis is being put on the fact that he actually was an alien.

Yeah, the entire joke is a subversion of expectations. The only reason the joke works at all is because the format is being used “incorrectly”.

They’re saying that quote is the only other instance of them talking about skin color in their post history, not that it’s relevant to this thread or the people in it.

I imagine for the same reason Iowa and Nebraska are on the same page. blackfarmersindex.com/reg-7-iowa-and-nebraska
Wisconsin and Nebraska have such a small list that they’d be a waste of a page, I guess.

I wish using freetube kept Ernie calm, but it doesn’t work half the time. Invidious has the same issue.
