Too late, for me at least

I just installed Linux Mint last weekend. Working great so far!

My Linux journey over the last ~18 hours:

I followed a YouTube video on how to install Linux Mint on a flash drive last night around 11pm and got it to post before going to bed. This morning I woke up at 9am, made coffee, then spun up my new OS, configured my system settings, played around with some extensions, then downloaded Steam and a few games and had at it with no fuss.

He knows he’d get unrelentingly booed for the world to see. He couldn’t even handle a single autoworker jeering at him the other day.

Entropy. There’s only a few ways for things to go right and countless ways for things to go wrong. Therefore, the probability of an undesirable outcome is far higher than any desirable outcome.

Six pack is back.

Dayum, good for you!

Nobel should award Obama the inaugural Nobel World Cup. Trump would absolutely lose his shit.

Ackshully, it’s racist against white people to celebrate holidays dedicated to black people!

Bees. So long as I stay on their good side they’re chill and they’ll protect me from the other options that want to eat me.

They also said that their invasion of Ukraine would take only three days.

To be fair, it’s still at least 25% the size of the continental US, which isn’t insignificant. But that’s far from being about the same size as Africa as the projection depicts, not to mention only ~20% of it is even remotely hospitable.

I rewatched it (several times, actually…) recently after Andor S2 and was just a little underwhelmed after years of remembering it through rose-tinted lenses. That’s not to say it’s a bad movie. Just kinda mid or slightly above average, which puts it far ahead of the rest of the Disney-era Star Wars movies. But next to the quality of Andor there are definitely some things that stick out.

Some critiques I have are pacing, unearned character flip-flopping when convenient, and supporting characters whose own motivations don’t go far beyond supporting the main characters.

It still has a special place in my heart and this isn’t to say other SW media is without flaw. I think Rogue One is a fun movie but its greatness lies in how it sets up the Andor series rather than anything it does by itself.

I definitely think the best way to appreciate it is immediately following the Andor series, which itself is best after a Rogue One watch, at least the first time around. I.e. Rogue One -> Andor -> Rogue One

Next he’ll be forcing us all to drink dihydrogen monoxide, a chemical that’s known to be fatal to humans under certain conditions!

In blow to Trump

😏

Holy shit! #6 unlocked some memories that have been hidden away deep in my subconscious for at least 20 years.

They perceive any act in service to anybody but themselves as weakness. People say they’re like this because they’re afraid of being seen as feminine and that may be true for some but I think many others just want to live in a world where they have no accountability and can take whatever they want while being praised by the people around them for the scraps they leave behind.

I hear this take all the time and frankly I think it’s lazy and rooted in the same misogyny that you claim lost both Hilary and Kamala the presidency. 48% of American voters turned out for both Clinton and Harris compared to the 51% turnout for Biden.

Of the three, Biden was the only one who ran during a Republican administration and he had the additional advantage of running against Trump’s catastrophic handling of the 2020 COVID pandemic and despite all that he only took an extra 3% of the vote over Clinton and Harris.

On the flip side, both Clinton and Harris ran on maintaining the deeply unpopular status quo under their own party’s administration and attempting to appeal to the center-right whilst alienating their own base and taking their vote for granted. Despite that, 48% of American voters still turned out for them and they lost to Trump’s 46% in 2016 and <50% in 2024, a less than 2% margin in both cases.

To reduce that nuance to, “they lost because they’re women” completely ignores the fact that they ran flawed campaigns in a time of deep dissatisfaction with the status quo that they ran in support of all so you can pin their failure on their gender and perpetuate the idea that women can’t be elected to be president, something that at least 75 million American voters disagree with.

At this point I feel like it’s totally plausible that the real reason he’s fighting so hard to keep the Epstein files locked away is not because they implicate him in the sex trafficking of underaged children but rather they reveal that he engaged in gay sex with his now political rivals.
