No no, my name is Bort.

The same people who pop sieg heils and then cry about nuance and squeal about unfair labels think that everything to the left of Bill Maher is a communist.

There was a time when a Linux live CD could dominate a windows install like a porno. But then they started turning on full drive encryption and none of my tricks works anymore :(

There was a long time when a casual user would have been better off on Windows, but I don’t think that’s true anymore, at least not on every distro.

Just as you can use Windows for years and never need Group Policy or Regedit, you can do Linux just the same without terminal.

This is the area where I feel Linux has come the farthest since I became interested in it.

Whiskey leaks.

I love RDR2, but the combat was shit. You’re such a John Wick/ Max Pane badass that by the end of the game you’re only vulnerable in cut-scenes.

The worst part is that there is an excellent quick-draw mechanic that’s hidden away in a few side-missions.

As a user, I hate when an OS gets in my way. Or insists that there is one right way to do something.

As the tech support guy in my family, I’m grateful that windows denies permission, has big guard rails, and forces you to do updates.

You’re assuming wide popular opposition. Kwame Ture was advocating for minority rights in an era where popular movements were often lynch mobs.

Stokely Carmichael aka Kwame Ture. Big pan-Africanist activist.

You should put a trigger warning on this. Toilets are my Vietnam.

Of all the technological change I’ve lived to see, glue and tape have improved the most.

Where I live, there are American cockroaches. The good thing is that they don’t nest in homes, so their presence isn’t a commentary on your cleanliness. But they do wander into homes looking for food. And guys, they’re huge! Like you can hear them crawling.

I asked the pest control guy if there was a way to be finally rid of them and he said “move”.

$28B is not going to be a big enough bailout this time. Guess what happens when all these farmers start trying to offload their pork, soybeans, and sorghum into the US market?

A cousin uploaded a video to YT of her 4yo daughter playing with her friends in one of those inflatable pools. Just for family and the like. It was getting 500 views a day before she took it down. Creepy!

My first real girlfriend got pregnant soon after we broke up. Sometimes I wonder how my life would have been different if I did a teen pregnancy.

At this point in my life I’d barely traveled out of my red State; believed in Jesus; and the only contact I’d had with politics was Rush Limbaugh. Honestly, not ending up a Trump supporter with my demographics is like Neo-level bullet dodging.

Yes, Currency is constructed. Just like laws, sovereignty, borders, human rights, customs, norms, culture, institutions, and government.

Currency isn’t the opposite of bartering, it’s advanced bartering.

Never let these cocksuckers like Brooks forget that they accepted the human cruelty and lawlessness of Trump. It was only when daddy tipped over the stock market that these men of reason started to wonder if Trump was qualified after all.

Bear with me:

Suppose there was a concentration camp that was basically an involuntary hotel/spa. Where the guards waited on the internees like servants. Even then, the existence of Auschwitz or Bergen-Belsen with their incredible threat of violence would hang over every internee who might get transferred. Therefore even our imaginary pleasant concentration camp enforces order with violence.

In the antebellum South, the phrase for this principal was being “sold down the river” where enslaved people who cause trouble were offloaded to worse conditions. So remember that if you ever hear about “kind” slavers.

It’s not surprising that apologists for confederates and apologists for Nazis are working off the same script.

Men are stoic, women are ruled by emotion.
