They can conjure hurricanes with cloud seeding and steer them with Doppler Radar, but they’re too stupid to do it the day before the election. Go figure.

They’re doing a great job of it, I will say.
- Comment on Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA 1 week ago:
100% this. I’ve been on Linux for 27 years now (ffs I’m getting old), and until proton, I just wrote off gaming as a hit or miss experience, usually not worth the trouble. Now I’ll buy Windows only games without even checking compatibility in most cases. Unless it’s a full price AAA game, I’ll risk the off chance that it doesn’t work.
- Comment on Can a Russian pls confirm 2 weeks ago:
Language evolves, the meaning of words change. It’s a natural part of the evolution of language over time. You say hang up the phone or dial a phone number, don’t you? But you don’t literally hang up a phone when you’re done with it or turn a literal dial anymore. But they used to work that way, so we still use that language even though the original meaning is lost.
I would argue that although this phrase originated from dismissing the opinions of actual boomers, it’s become a convenient shorthand way of calling someone out of touch with current social trends without having to adapt new phrases every time.

Good. Fuckem. They make shitty, oversized trucks that are a danger to pedestrians and people who drive reasonably sized cars anyway.

To be honest, following instructions from scammers couldn’t be much worse than doing what the real Marco Rubio says.

Because many people cannot distinguish between word salads and insight.

No thanks. I’d rather drown.
- Comment on Corporations are saving the planet! 3 weeks ago:
I was handed a water bottle the.other day at a volunteer event and was lamenting the fact that in the US, we don’t have attached caps. I almost immediately lost mine. It’s possible to make them attached, AND not suck.

I’ve not been paying attention to the memeverse lately and having returned now to find that Möth is a thing again just warms my heart. Like a 1000W sodium lamp.
