They are, actually. The point of patents and copyright is not to protect the creator- that’s a temporary effect. The point is to release the thing to the public afterwards. The problem is that capitalism corrupts the process and finds ways to make the temporary effects permanent. Disney has succeeded in making copyright last effectively forever.

Computers are easy, they just do math really really fast. The weird part is how useful math is.

So if it becomes common to use “blow” (or any other allusion to fellatio) as a way to convey disdain, does it cease to be homophobic? How are we not there already?
- Comment on 🔥🔥🔥 2 weeks ago:
Right. So is fucking someone a bad thing? A good thing? Or does it depend on whether the recipient wants to be fucked? If we’re using fuck as an insult, we’re implying that it’s bad, right? If not, then why is it different for sucking cock?

Steve Hughes has a great bit on why it’s feminine to like women, while it takes a real man to want to fuck another man.

Also, to object to blowjob insinuations, but still say “fuck trump”… Like what the fuck do you think “fuck” means?

Is fucking bad? Because you just used it as an insult…

No, French doors just means two doors that meet in the middle, usually just the fridge (which is up top) has it, and they’re ok usually. Split vertically is called side by side, and they suck, can’t even handle frozen pizza…

Is it really that hard to find a composite input? All my TVs have them, though the newest one is at least 5 years old so what do I know…

Those use HDMI signaling over the displayport connector, so still need the blessing of the HDMI overlords, which costs a lot of money upfront.

I grew up across the street from a large grocery store, and around the corner from a convenience store, but still my mom would stockpile many months worth of stuff like flour, sugar, oats, spices, tea…
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 5 weeks ago:
people who just don’t understand how to shop around for shit and just eat the cost.
The problem is, you can shop around and find a good deal, but that good deal is “introductory”, only for new customers, so after a while the price goes back to “normal” and you have to do it all over again. Then you have to do that for every damn thing, it gets pretty tiring.

I just think it’s funny that, way back in the DOS days, dark mode was the only mode, then GUIs and the web were the “modern” thing, and if you didn’t like, fuck you too bad… Now we’ve gone full circle.
