I would say he’s a rapist, yes. He clearly doesn’t consider rape to be a problem.

I’d love to see it happen, I will support it in any way I can.

Until such time as it does happen, as long as they continue milling about uselessly expecting maga to start following the laws any minute now and doing nothing else significant to obstruct it… Fuck em, they’re paying the taxes and powering the machine that is trying to destroy us.

Oh please let’s

I mean, I can without hesitating. We all should be able to.

The states has this funny thing where when they do use metric, like in medicine, they often still use weird-ass nonstandard metric options, like decilitres. I imagine if they eventually switch their unit of weight is going to be something like “well, one fornoy is exactly how much a litre of crude oil weighs”

Also, at no point did anyone try to stop said asshat. That’s the bit that gets me with these, every time. The country is full of cowards and bullies.

Yup. Trying to get various work critical specific pieces of software working on Linux is just not a reasonable concept. Dual boot is the only option.

I mean, I could make a list of things I think are problems, but I’ve been using it since a bit after 9/11 so I dont think my guesses would represent new user experiences. I am mostly going off what people tell me when they try to learn it.

otherwise it’s hard to respond to such a vague statement

I wasn’t writing advice for the devs, I was making a general statement about why foss stuff doesn’t tend to suit glitzy, highly marketable front facing stuff, using gimp as an example

Unless 3.0 has solved it, the gimp has a steep UI problem and a learning curve such that mass appeal on the website would be inappropriate anyway. I love it but I love it because I’ve been using it my whole life and know it very well. Foss in general struggles with useability due to a lot of hard to overcome problems - mainly, that by the time someone is ready to contribute to any given foss project, they’re already intimately familiar with its foibles and probably have strong opinions about what UX elements are sacred cows and should not be fixed.

As a long time - pre version 2 - gimp user my first thought was “what, don’t be ridiculous” and now I dont know what to feel. Why would you do this to me personally

Man, this one is loaded. I use variants on the quantum.ogre all the time, and am widely considered to be an excellent dm. It’s not about the ogre, it’s about whether choices have an impact on the story. They can still do that even if minor parts of the set dressing - like whether or not you’ll fight an ogre around the corner because you the DM spent ages prepping that encounter - are relatively constant

The best way to write a good story, for me, is to write a story I want to read. That seems obvious but bear with me. If I plan out all the details, it’s like someone spoiled the book for me, I just can’t get into it. I have to create characters I’m interested, plunk them in a situation, and just start seeing what happens. I dont fret the little details unless they start getting me into a place I’m not enjoying. Later on I go back to the early parts and tie them together with whatever happened. Done this way, writing a story feels like reading a story, one that is specifically tailored to your own interests (and that none of your friends have read, so they can’t talk to you about it)

I mean, I’m sure i don’t need to tell you, a ton of the groundwork for this was laid by that “lovable idiot” and his handlers. Bush walked so trump could goose-step

It works for some people but everything i ever hear just sounds so high maintenance.

Then again, the people in comfortable stable poly relationships probably don’t post much about it online

We look and sound just like them. I don’t anticipate this going well for america.

Have you considered reddit? I hear it’s a great platform for people without any sense of humour.

I’d have less trouble believing this if there was any meaningful backlash from his supporters. Currently there isn’t even meaningful backlash from his opposition, so colour me doubtful.

of course? All these people are my fellow man. I have no idea what your point is. I don’t think aliens did it.

It’s more like blaming city council because they refuse to pass any regulations that might reduce the number of fires, because it would hurt their donors in the construction industry.

We are way past the point where democrats could have done anything, and we arrived here because all through my almost fifty year lifetime and before, people on the left have been warning them about the US’s decline towards fascism, the takeover of their media and the dominance of voter suppression, and they’ve chosen to never take any action to stop it. I fail to see why they should escape blame now, after making the bed they are lying in.

No, fuck this. The best analogy I’ve seen is that the republicans are a school shooter, and the democrats are the uvalde police department. I’m not going to forgive a group thst somehow becomes utterly ineffectual any time they’re needed. This has been brewing for decades. If the democrats were just tooooooooo weak to do anything to prevent it in all that time, what fucking use are they?
