- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 1 week ago:
Appealing or circumventing the 22nd is a bridge too far, and they know it.
That’s why the slogan is “Trump 2028”, not “Donald Trump”. They’ll run one of his sons instead.
Because of course, that’s what they’d do.Like when they announced a press conference at the 4 Seasons before booking it, got denied, and held it in front of 4 Seasons Total Landscaping instead.
All that matters is being “technically correct” so they can claim that’s what they promised in the first place. - Comment on As an immigrant I wonder a lot about the alternate timeline where I never migrated... I wonder if kids who got adopted feel a similar way... the "what if I got different parents" timeline... 1 week ago:
“Fun” fact: literally everything that happens to you and all the little things you do every day are potentially just as life-changing.
You could go to one supermarket instead of another and meet your future life partner there.
Or come home 5 minutes early and catch the short circuit in time that would have burnt down your home with all your belongings.
Or cross the street here instead of there and get run over by a drunk driver.Life is unpredictable, and it’s generally healthier to look to the future instead of the past.
- Comment on The Danish Pride Flag 1 week ago:
They’re shown in the colors chosen by Die Tageszeitung, the 7th largest German newspaper.
The TAZ isn’t fake news, they’re well-researched and follow the press codex for fair and truthful journalism.
They’re just not centrist “all sides are equal” news either. - Comment on WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CURSOR? 1 week ago:
That pun went right over my head.
And then moved back and forth rapidly, until I had an orgasm and ejaculated my semen into it.

- Comment on The Danish Pride Flag 1 week ago:
It used to be like that in West Germany from 1949 till 1990. The good old days.
Only the CDU (black), SPD (red) and FDP (yellow) ever made it into parlament.
But then those pesky Green punks appeared and ruined everything!
They even wore sneakers in the Reichstag, can you imagine? - Comment on Walmart Is Putting Digital Labels That Change Prices Instantly on Every Store Shelf in America 1 week ago:
So, what if I go to the store with limited cash, choose the items I can buy with it, and then while I’m on my way to the register, the prices increase?
- Comment on The Danish Pride Flag 1 week ago:
Stable, too. At least until the dictator dies.
- Comment on The Danish Pride Flag 1 week ago:
Yeah, we all know what a dysfunctional government Denmark has, compared to countries with 2-party systems.

kids these days
At our school (in the 90s), Duke Nukem 3D was installed on the entire computer lab. You could play death matches against everyone over LAN.
They even set up a keyboard shortcut to instantly kill the game, unmount the partition it was on, and drop you back to your working directory when the teacher walked up to your seat. - Comment on Melania found her next husband. 1 week ago:

- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 weeks ago:
Debian takes the source code from upstream systemd and creates their own deb package. They’re free to leave out the date field.
- Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 weeks ago:
-
It takes a long while for a PR to make it into the distros. The law goes into effect in less than a year.
-
The organization distributing donations to the various distros (Software In The Public Interest) sits in the US and needs to follow US law in order to not be shut down.
Without them, Debian, Arch, LibreOffice, Systemd and dozens of others have no more funding.

Because it’s going to be a legal requirement, with fines of $7000 per affected underage user, which will instantly bankrupt the non-profits representing distros and kill off community-maintained Linux.
Do note: The legal requirement is NOT for age verification. Only for having a field where you as the admin can enter whatever the fuck you want.If you don’t agree with the law, good. Neither do I. But the devs aren’t the ones to apply pressure to, here.
They’re forced to do this to keep the lights on, and they’ve implemented it in a way that keeps you as the admin in full control. - Comment on Age checks creep into Linux as systemd gets a DOB field 2 weeks ago:
I’m a Debian guy so I’ll set mine to April 28, 1973.
- Comment on if i had a job 2 weeks ago:
Land animals (Leviticus 11:1–8; 26–30; Deuteronomy 14:6–8) that had completely split or “cleft” hooves and chewed the cud were considered clean and suitable for eating. Any land animals that did not meet this rule were unclean.
Sounds to me like monke would be unclean, so it checks out.

- Comment on Microsoft blocks registry trick that unlocked performance-boosting native NVMe driver on Windows 11 — workarounds still exist to enable support, however 2 weeks ago:
Their entire company philosophy and culture revolves around Copilot.
Every coding task needs to start with a prompt.
The use of Copilot is tracked and if you don’t use it enough, you get called into a meeting.
Copilot is used to write your own progress reports and by management to read them for performance reviews.So basically, Windows 11 is now vibe-coded using the worst AI on the market.
- Comment on Cyberattack on vehicle breathalyzer company leaves drivers stranded across the US 2 weeks ago:
Do you believe it’s justified to ban someone from driving for letting other people drink in the car?
If so, why? What good would that achieve? - Comment on crazy stuff 2 weeks ago:

The next day, 30% of Americans would be convinced woke trans people poisoned him by injecting the burger with estrogen.
- Comment on My brother has or had now a drinking problem. Now he is asking for the worst tasting crap that he can take a cap full like an airplance bottle so his body whenever he thinks about it will remember 2 weeks ago:
This is just his way to keep drinking and sell it to himself and others as “doing something against it”.
Don’t encourage or enable him in this. The only way to stop drinking is to STOP. DRINKING. - Comment on Cyberattack on vehicle breathalyzer company leaves drivers stranded across the US 2 weeks ago:
Fun fact: In the US you can get a DUI for sleeping it off in your car, a passenger drinking while you drive (open container laws), or failing a bullshit coordination test graded by a racist cop without them ever checking your blood alcohol.
- Comment on Listen to the customer 2 weeks ago:
There’s no punchline.
But then again, I’ve never read anything from AI that’s actually funny. - Comment on So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it? 2 weeks ago:
Imagine Star Wars, but the Imperials all speak German in the English version (with subtitles).
