When nonviolence will result in more suffering

Yes

Pulse dialing (rotary phones)

Yeah, you should’ve thought of that before you decided to be Asian with your kung-fu and dumplings…

I was in a similar but opposite situation, minus the xenophobia. I don’t remember what started it, but in 6th grade I decided to throw a punch at a 9th grader. Everyone assumed he instigated it. I clearly remember starting it, but I obviously didn’t tell anyone that.

Noted. Thank you.

Can someone please enlighten me as to what “gnc” means in this context?

Mint is a noob distro. I’m a linux user for nearly 30 years. I run Mint (on my desktop), because I can’t be arsed fixing something that works.

Anything to distract from the fact that they’re a car company selling fewer and fewer cars.

When I got older and my interests started taking shape, I just said “IT” because I liked computery stuff, and while I didn’t have anything specific in mind, I knew it would probably involve tech. I remember an ad for this tech university, running around this time saying something along the lines of “I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. But I know that the occupation doesn’t exist yet”, and I felt drawn to that idea.

Then I started doing software development, nothing big, but I liked it. So for a while in my early 20s that was my plan. I also did a lot of network stuff, but I saw networks mainly as a means to get other stuff up and running.

And then I stumbled into a career of offshore seismic survey. Computers stuff was a big part of it. And then I ended up in a supporting role that is mostly centered around offshore networking and storage clusters. And looking back, my current occupation didn’t really exist 25 years ago.

I’ve been resolving them since the late 90s, no worries.

0. Because I’m old, crusty, and prefer software deployments in a similar manner.

I want to be buried with my treasure, and as a data hoarder I will have to leave instructions for writing it all to tape.

• Superheroes
• Sexy clothing
• evil for the sake of evil

• Somewhat unformulaic, in that I should not be able to predict the gist of the ending halfway through the movie, or feel that I’ve seen the same movie before only with different setting (Looking at you, Avatar)
• Believable characters with realistic motivations
• No lazy writing relying on deus ex machinae or poor communication as plot devices
• Originality

Well, Kanye never fails to entertain…

Turns out I was originally right about the era, but severely wrong about the genre. Somehow your mention of 60s psychedelic made me think of Type O Negative (I dunno how), which lead me to the right song. I’ve edited the details into the original post.

Yes, it very well could be. I may be completely off with my leaning towards a grunge tone and groove, possibly because the motif fits very well over the Come as You Are riff.

If it is in fact something from the area you describe, the pool of possible artists is very limited as it’s not a genre I normally listen to. Clapton could be it, but the only song I’ve listened to a lot is Cocaine, and that’s definitely it.

About the tone, it could be a very high gain one with boosted mids and lows, typical of the psychedelic genre. I also want to say it’s intentionally slightly out of tune.

If it is indeed that 60s or 70s, it would most likely be Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Beatles, Rolling Stones, or something influenced by those.

Not the one.
