Bro, every person with half a brain knew knew knew how stupid Brexit was, and knew knew knew the exact consequences of the referendum passed. To the fucking detail smart people fucking knew this, and everything that happened, was going to happen.

It's the fucking idiots, racists, basically trump maga equivalents in the UK who were too smooth-brained to understand complex shit who voted to leave. All of us with just a slight wrinkle (edit - a slight wrinkle in our brains, adding this because I'm sure you don't follow - end edit) knew this would happen, foresaw it happening, talked about how all this dumb shit would happen, but yet here we are.

Blame the propaganda machine that got the smoothies to vote to leave before you start throwing shade at people making fun of the idiots (I don't know if the person in the article is a brexiter or not, if not I feel for them, but they have their fellow countrymen to blame, not us commentators on the internet who are laughing at the leopards eating faces of the leopards eating faces party.

Some of us really like over hopped IPA's - almost all IPA's nowadays are more fruity/citrusy and it fucking sucks meng, I loved the taste of biting into a bitter leaf....

"this is unprecedented" as they stand around laughing and waving trump flags

Grammer Nazi's showing up to the party to, nice

The right wing morons don't know that because right wing media never reported it, and they foam spit "fake news"repeatedly when you tell them

Telescopes don't really get too crazy until one wants to get into astrophotography (assuming we want an APO at that point, not before). At that point staying in the four digits is an accomplishment in itself...

But I did learn something when I bought a binoviewer for my telescope, I had to buy double the eyepieces and that was a bit hit that I didn't fully think out

There was a saying years ago that still hold true to today - "Unix is user friendly, it's just selective who it's friends are".

Years ago, I setup an SGI IRIX box for my parents to use, back when Netscape was browser king. I had it so customized for my parents that they still talk about how easy it was to use; problem for me was it took me months to figure out all the config tricks and X customizations to pull it off... Your post made me think of that lol

I bought mine and own it happily - us licence holders should all get together, we could probably fill up a Chuck-E-Cheese

If I have to pick, this range and a copy of dracula X and SOTN rather than a probable disappointment from present day Konami

This is a bad take. Boomers created the internet, Unix, C, processors and other IC's, other OS's, created computer graphics as we know them now, etc etc etc. They are the pioneers we stand on, but each generation has a bell curve.

Millennials start with the same bell curve, I assume a bit better maybe because knowledge is easier to access for those who seek it, but don't confuse navigating an app, and knowing how to Google troubleshooting terms as some form of technical supremacy, if the internet goes away tomorrow, how many millennials will know how to troubleshoot issues or create IC's from rocks?

Bro stop bullshitting us. A casual would not know this much detail 🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

You are completely right, but I wonder how self aware Linus is. I haven't been watching his channel closely, but I've binged on episodes in the past. I was not aware of his anti-labor views or how he had his employees working on his house - these are things that a non-self aware person does; someone who doesn't understand the optics are bad to the "commoner" who feels they are being taken advantage by business owners. I'll reserve judgement for now but I've found this entire thing very disappointing.

Unix Blasphemy!!

I do love X though (not the Twitter rebrand - Motif for life!!). A simple X program is/was so portable, but I guess not many people care anymore.

This is an easy question to answer. Look at Henry Ford and look at Bezos and his type (oh for example Walmart, etc). Ford wanted his workers to be able to afford the product he was making, and he even lost a landmark case because he was looking out for the best interest of his employees and his customers, from wikipedia:

Dodge v. Ford Motor Company, 204 Mich. 459, 170 N.W. 668 (Mich. 1919)[1] is a case in which the Michigan Supreme Court held that Henry Ford had to operate the Ford Motor Company in the interests of its shareholders, rather than in a manner for the benefit of his employees or customers. It is often taught as affirming the principle of "shareholder primacy" in corporate America, although that teaching has received some criticism

It's simple - she was a lowly teacher, and being pregnant is a problem women have that proves they had sex - And women are property in the good book, and a woman only has worth if they are virgins to be sold off as cattle (hence why the good book says a rapist must marry his victim and give her family 30 pieces of silver or whatever it was)

The priests are part of the "upper management" if you will, and there is no physical giveaway that they had raped anyone - nothing grows and becomes unhidable on the priest when they rape and molest children, and therefore they can go along and never address something happened unless forced to address it, and it's only been how many years since the world found out just how bad it's been, and I still think it's only the tip of the pedo iceberg

Ok bro, don't be leaving us hanging like this. I don't know a single thing you are talking about, would love for you to give some of such examples!

Honestly it has been a pretty good techy channel for a while, but like many things, apparently it's become a victim of its own success. Ive gone down the rabbit hole on LTT YouTube episodes a few times in the past - really enjoyed what I decided to watch, this news is really unfortunate to what was (in my opinion) a great channel

Gamer nexus was always great too (the few episodes I watched), that's why this is such news. I'm going to sit down and really listen to the video GN did

Educate a pleeb here, I've been out of the gaming loop. What's the notable exceptions of great games this year and what two that are not state-of-the-art graphics do you mean?

Yes, I think the 4th stool is shared by the single issue voter crowd - it's sort of an umbrella, but it still in major part are the people who fall for the propaganda; say 2nd amendment issue, or trans bathroom issue, or Critical Race Theory (although that might be more of a 3rd stool strategy), or whatever the next wedge issue the right wing media industrial complex thinks of - these people will fall for it EVERY SINGLE TIME. Just major inability to understand nuance and complete lack of critical thinking, whatever the case may be (I'm sure we can talk about this 4th stool a lot. I would love to find a way to cogently sum them up)

Science and scientific studies help determine what is ineffective or harmful, the problem is the FDA doesn't have authority over shit plenty of things - a person can go on YouTube and say drinking their special bottled water will cure cancer, and they don't fall into FDA guidelines so they are free to claim whatever they want, essentially. These woo-woo type cure-alls have gotten into trouble with the FDA because of their ridiculous and unfactual, unproven claims, but that's usually where the lawyer wordsmiths show up to change the wording just enough to not get into trouble with the FDA.

There is a whole history of pseudoscience as an industry and how it was able to bribe/lobby for its current position in public view (since you even have to ask this question)
