I wish I could be you, and I have a dear friend who is as liberal with his truth.

I worry so many of us suffered unintentional neglect during times of crises - divorces, poverty-driven migration, etc - because everyone had to cope and keep working and was exhausted in the rebuild, that we aren’t as free with our feelings as we should be because we didn’t see or get the practice.

And poor people don’t get professional help to course-correct since they’re barely food-secure.

But you’re awesome. And every time I see a grown-ass man displaying physical parental affection for his child - a kiss, a hug, snuggling a sleepy babeh, all that - I know that child has amazing potential to express his/her own affection without so much reservation.

It’s a good trend. Keep it up.

Ha! I was fixated on a science memer who can’t spell “its” ! Nice take.

Iraq war was started in direct response to the 9/11 attacks

Nah. That - and Afghanistan - was merely correlative. Attacking a third-party country because of the actions of some Saudis based on what a Saudi royal spearheaded is nonsensical. It was absurd; and probably about Oil.

Obviously she is intelligent; she went to Canada instead of Miami.

Well, people who can’t get into Canada need somewhere to go. :-P

I work 100% remotely, and my day job doesn’t even have profile pics. When we meet, it’s a dozen cartoon images or memes as faces. No cams, no pics.

The side gig I’ve had for 20 years has never had a pic. These people wouldn’t recognize me if I walked in the office one day.

Why should I? We don’t see a value.

Container crutches. Ew. And if a dev can’t spell self-hosted, then I don’t trust them to do it properly.

Bone apple tea!

I love when they hold it like a slice of pizza like they’re some vapid famewhore on a reality TV show. It’s a well-designed sound device held exactly wrong, so the noise-canceling and gain control are going fucking nuts.

It’s like it’s bad for you, bad for the phone, bad for the person using the phone; who looks like a moron as a bonus. Good job, chucklenuts!

It’s weird how they all have skills you’re overlooking.

No contest. Apt-rpm is superior in every way.

SuSE people can sit down too. I’ve seen inside that mess.

Of course; it uses Systemd.

Nah. Those really hurt the first joint of my thumb. I’m worried I’ll burn it out quicker.

This is how they taught you to spell?

The luddites were early union organizers among seamstresses and weavers.

You think it was people acting against progress because the winners of that conflict rewrote history.

My nephew’s initials are b.o.m.b !

Aw, fuck cancer. Here’s hoping it’s not, but I like that you’re positioning yourself better just in case; solid strategy.

I will choose to believe any weight loss was hard work and only a little luck until we learn differently. Please keep us up to date; and keep the chin up through what must be a scary-ass time.

Ohh. Excellent point. I know I haven’t made great Choices this season. ;-)

You’ll find a system that works for you, eventually. You only have to win once.

My relatives called it ONE-derland, because all the weights start with 1.

Congrats to the OP! I hope every new resident of ONE-derland got here through healthy means and is here to stay.

It’s SJVN. That’s all you need to know.

He’s no Cringely.
