No. Not “fair”. You’re just justifying cruelty for the sake of cruelty.


but you could also just forget all about it and your life will be the same.

Some big “Thanks I’m cured” energy here. If they truly are germophobic, then just saying “get over it” isn’t gonna do jack shit as advice.



Or they know that force-feeding themselves needless media that will just make them miserable is not worth it. People that don’t do things they won’t like aren’t “boycotting”. They’re just not doing it.


Woke is not a bad word. It originated with progressive and civil rights groups. Don’t let hate take it away.


Such a good movie and a great showcase of Steve Carrell’s (and the rest of the cast’s) range, managing to be heartbreaking and laugh out loud funny throughout the movie.


The Good Place might just be my favorite TV show. It’s just so well done on every level and is one of few sitcoms where the main characters aren’t just terrible people. They’re not perfect or anything, but it’s just nice to see characters earnestly carrying for others and trying to be better people.

Parks and Rec is another show like that (also by Michael Schur) that I just love.


PSA - Do not use a power washer on your parts.


What's the "Joe Shmoe" of different cultures? Or the "John/Jane Smith"?
Explanations/etymology also appreciated! For Joe Shmoe, it means a very average or below average person. It's a derivation of the practice of using "shm-" to dismiss something (eg "Practice shmactice. We're already perfect"). And "John Smith" is meant to be the most average name or person imaginable, so they have the "most common" (citation needed) first and last name as well.

On “behalf” of Twitter. What a fucking clown.


His net worth has only gone up since he bought it, iirc

It absolutely didn’t. His net worth dropped over 50% in the months following the purchase. It’s back up above $200b at this point according to Forbes, but he’s still down from his pre-purchase state.


Interesting. I wasn’t aware of all that. Troublesome.


you need a Microsoft signed stub to boot anything other than Windows on a PC

Can you expand on this? Maybe I’m just misunderstanding you, but a “pc” is not a Windows made machine. It is a collection of disparate computer parts made by different companies with no requirement to run Windows as the exclusive OS once put together.

Even on a Windows OS, I can run any program I want (that’s made to operate with Windows). I may get a warning if it’s not a “known” developer, but I can still run it. Did I miss a big update to how 11 works with unknown software or something?


Somehow couldn’t find that. Thanks! Kinda funny looking at all that through the official Reddit YouTube channel. Wonder if they’ll get banned at some point.


I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a live stream of it. Bummer.


Instances running 18.2 should be fine, and as far as I understand it (with no dev qualifications to speak of, fwiw), these exploits only affected the local instance - they weren’t permeating through other instances viewing the exploits through Activitypub. That’s all to say, as long as your instance is running 18.2 or higher (the 18.2-rc’s should have in progress patches, as well), I believe you should be fine.


Was working retail in an area that had a local bag ordinance that required businesses to charge customers for bags. A man came up to the register and when I asked him if he wanted a bag for a few cents extra, he looked at me like I was crazy and was like, “You charge for bags?” I explained that it was required by the government and he just kinda scoffed. I thought that was it, but as he opened his wallet to pay, he flashed what turned out to be a police badge at me from another city some ways away, gave me a look, and said something along the lines of “I think I know what the law is.” I just finished up the transaction and got him going asap, blown away at the insecurity displayed. It was such a bizarre powermove over what was only a few cents extra for something completely optional.
