“the best thing to do is go up to anyone of your preferred gender or presentation and say seductive phrases such as “let’s see that smile” or “where’s my hug?””

I know you’re probably joking, but I had a very visceral blech reaction reading this advice. 10/10 would again

Now you hold up for just one damn second

I spent about a year arguing with C-levels that our fleet running 8GB was slowing down productivity, with evidence to prove it. It was like pulling teeth to procure some SODIMMs.

I’d still say this article is coming at things from the wrong perspective. That $700 Walmart M1 MBA is more than adequate for most kids doing school work, and/or grandparents farting around on FB. If you have a family and had to grab a few identical laptops, and you aren’t able/willing to be tech support, it really makes a lot of sense financially.

I bet that guy is still mad that they broadcast a white guy kissing a black woman on television.

On my device that’s one of those websites that don’t allow using the Back button.

Neat.

RvW was looking like it was going down: immediately got my shit together, stopped putting it off, and finally got snipped.

I knew what was next then and I’ve been seeing a slow burn towards the obvious consequences ever since. No regretti - but it’s a serious issue for everyone. Not everybody is Never Kids like I am.

Hmm. There’s no reason anything that supports 6gb RAM shouldn’t run Linux. I’ve janked together much worse Lubuntu rigs before.

Hey, are you doing okay?

Haven’t seen a particularly good BF deal in quite a few years.

Still punch the clerk at KMart though, it’s tradition.

So here’s my perspective, as somebody who took many years of struggle and therapy to come to grips with the idea that I was abused and raped by a romantic partner:

For the person from the position of power, or a third party, you don’t get to decide the reality of the person experiencing the suffering. For the person it’s happening to - whatever their suffering is, it’s valid and real. That doesn’t belittle someone who has experienced worse. Everyone has their personal struggles. We’d all do better to consider other people’s experiences as valid and come at disagreements from a desire to learn and care.

Arguing for the sake of arguing is furiously jacking off your privilege boner for no real progress or useful outcome, other than feeling superior to someone lesser than you.

I have no earthly idea the context of why you’re asking though.
