Wolfs, on the appropriate streaming service.

Also watched the Tom Hanks 2021 movie, Finch.

with whatever’s left

Heh, several of your bullets can eat that full amount.

This will get deleted because you’re on the .ml instance. Comments here will be carefully pruned to enforce a narrative.

Yeah, there’s a reason for that. One has motives outside of the current situation.

it was easier to reinstall than it was to figure out how I broke it in some new novel way.

I came to the same conclusion. But I couldn’t get it to reinstall. It kept wanting to use the old partition. (2001, maybe Ubuntu?)

So I knew how to solve that. If the linux installation is wiped, then it’ll surely allow me to reinstall fresh. So,

rm -rf /

Begins deleting files…

“Wait, my Windows partition is under that, isn’t it.” Ctrl+C frantically, it won’t stop. Pull the plug.

I did get my files back. Just, you know, without file paths or file names. Do you know how many DLLs and worthless text files there are, by the way?

Which is why it’s really weird for people to be so greedy after they’ve already accomplished five million.

Before or after they fire 90% of their staff?

She’s not the best, but she’s not the worst. Her biggest crime is what, using insider knowledge to trade stocks?

It’s not like she gave a list of our spies to the Russians. Or likely sold classified documents. She didn’t betray our allies. (Do I mean the Ukrainians, the Afghanis, or the Kurds?)

She was miles better than Manchin or McConnell. She wasn’t our best, but she sure as hell wasn’t a Republican. She got vilified primarily because she was a prominent Democrat for years. And it stuck because there was more than zero legitimacy.

They vilified her so much that some douchebag went after her and her husband with a hammer. There’s a reason they didn’t go after Manchin or Sinema or Menendez or McConnell or Gaetz.

What was the “gut” thing again?

They don’t like algorithms. They want you to select which content you see.

That’s all I’ve got. Mastodon is a better, more open tech. And it’s pretty easy to get set up, relatively. It’s insane that companies haven’t jumped on it.

You don’t even have to quit Twitter. You can just post to more than one place and give people the option.

How much does the setup cost? assuming I’m already self hosting and have some disk space.

VPN and a seed box?

The House is still being counted. It’s very close, but not over yet.

He doesn’t have the House yet.

A little late now.

The non-voters are also dumb.

The previous mod was unhappy that admins didn’t ban anyone who disagreed their opinion, which was that rape equals murder. Apparently if you don’t equate the two, that makes rape “A-OK”. And of course that opinion needs to be enforced by admins, not with words.

It’s important that he disabuses himself of the notion that he’s really good at this if he tried. The trying is the part that’s the challenge. They make the ability to understand part relatively easy. That’s the whole point of college.

The tip is to change his perspective and stop thinking that he’s above it. It may not be the only tip, but it’s a big one.

The world is filled with people who used to be brilliant slackers when they were young who did nothing with it.

Anyone can theoretically sit down and study for the equivalent of a university degree. Most people don’t have the motivation or discipline for that.

Half the point of the degree is that it pushes you to get it done. (The other half is verification that you did it.)

If you still can’t do it, then it isn’t so easy after all, is it? The main challenge isn’t how big your brain is. It’s actually putting in the work.

If you can’t find enough self-discipline to get through it, you’re going to regret it later.

I was the generation we were hopeful for. All we’ve done is stall. We got Obama elected… and that’s about it.

We need a plan that’s better than “wait it out”. That one tends to fail.
