Hello from Lemmygrad as well :)

I guess I just assumed most people have one of those window breaking tools that cost like 5 dollars.

Yes, it does. I didn’t write “this will feel like literal hell”, I wrote “this feels […]”, as in I am currently experiencing said feeling.

It uses my likeness. This might lead people to believe, consciously or not, that I endorse the message, that’s the point of the technology.

It doesn’t matter if I or my likeness has convinced someone of a view in a practical sense, so does it matter morally?

Y’know, in my darkest moments, I’ve taken solace in the fact that suicide would also mean I wouldn’t have to partake in capitalism anymore.

This feels like literal hell. Not even suicide will let you escape.

Societies today are extremely large, which means it doesn’t matter if a majority does something or not, if a per mille does it’s a massive, society-defining problem.

I feel like these people are incredibly disingenuous. If I’m in a hot car and want to make an exaggerated example out of what I think is bad design, I act like these people. If I’m in a hot car, stuck and panicking, I’m thinking about how much a window costs for about half a minute, and then I break a window.

For some reason they also ask how many you need.

I’ve done that once, and honestly wrote I needed four screws. A few days later I got an envelope with like, 20 screws. I get it, but still found it a bit funny.

… What? I have Ikea furniture that’s lasted 10+ years, through 5+ moves including disassembly and reassembly every time. Nothing took more than 20 minutes to assemble, and I definitely believe this furniture can outlive me.

Oh wow, I just looked up Lemmygrad and was shocked and dissapointed at the results, seeing the Exploding Heads results changed that dissapointment to complete disgust.

This was over 20 years ago, so I don’t know and/or remember, point is I had no idea what I was doing, possibly just trying to build a window manager or something then? All I remember is only having a CLI and feeling like I couldn’t get anything to work.

I haven’t tried using arch since I was 12, and even after all these years the experience makes me feel like such a poser, I didn’t even manage to compile the kernel, and gave up before I had anything resembling an OS.

In general, I feel l like Europeans experience a healthy amount of shame in situations like these, like USians completely lack.

I’d lie awake at night for the rest of my life because of the shame I’d feel knowing I left something behind looking as trashed as that.

Not only are you correct, your description of ipv4 and ipv6 sounds like if 8 year old looked at the wikipedia page of ipv6 for five minutes, and was asked to explain it in-depth a month later. I’d recommend just deleting your comment, it’s awful in so many ways.

As a vegetarian, I really don’t see the difference. I don’t want to eat bugs because the concept of eating meat sounds gross, but I don’t understand how someone can eat other kinds of meat yet find insects disgusting.

No.

It’s worse than you could imagine.

It is definitely not the right answer.

I can make wine, to prevent me from making wine you’d have to make literally every fruit illegal, and even then there are millions of wild apple trees in my country that you’d have to cut down. It’s impossible to prevent people from making alcohol.

In contrast to that, you can’t grow anything that produces caffeine in my country. I’d have to import it, and checking mail in customs is a hell of a lot easier than checking the vast areas of empty forest to see if I’m illegally growing apples.

Hi. I’m autistic, as in I’ve had the diagnosis for close to two decades now, and on behalf of the autistic community I’d like to ask you to not associate your abhorrent psyche and worldview with us.

Sure, and I don’t like any of it.

To clarify on why it’s especially terrifying, for the nVidia drivers to be closed source, they’ve been allowed to add binaries into the Linux kernel. Nobody but nVidia knows what those binaries actually contain.
