“One is named after Mrs. Clause, she was quite a looker back in our day! The other is named after a dear friend of Santa’s, we play D&D with the Easter Bunny, St. Patrick, and The Great Pumpkin once a month, you probably know his holiday, ‘Valentines Day.’”

Tbf, if I’m in the woods, I also have a gun, guaranteed. But I also run into men, women, pairs, sometimes whole groups, of people in the woods regularly (as ya do, it’s really not that unusual of an occurrence) and guess what happens most of the time: Nothing. They continue along their trail minding their business, I go off trail to smoke weed and look for cool salamanders. Hell on occasion I’ve smoked the weed with the strangers, and weed is still illegal in my locale. Not once has it been life threatening (that always seems to happen in parking lots so far, ime) or even a generic fight, not even so much as a squabble nor an argument (unless I brought my friend who says Dragon Ball sucks but he’s WRONG!)

If I’m guaranteed a fight, and know I’ll be in bear country so I can have an appropriate gun? I’d choose the bear for the simple fact that talking to that game warden is going to be easier than convincing 12 jurors a woman just came at me with a gun in the woods, sure.

But if I’m not guaranteed a fight? Experience has shown me that more likely than fight, the stranger will politely nod and keep moving, or smoke a J with me, maybe even one they brought. I’ll choose the people.

They put a porto-john outside the Kaaba now?

Was

Is.* Nicotine+ is the client to make it even better.

This album/song came a year later in '99, but I think it still fits here, it was recorded in '98 lol.

Well I do at least want to try it out, the creator is a SubGenius (thus the name "Slack"ware) as am I, so that’s reason number one, and SW is less likely to have a canonical moment (like ubuntu ykwim) than Fedora.

That is good to know that you don’t have to hunt for the dependencies though because that’s definitely one of the biggest things holding me back from trying it yet!

Praise “Bob”!

I want to run Slackware for religious reasons but the “no package management” thing has me prioritizing my Slack over learning how to Slackware (just as Dobbs intended.) For now Fedora will do I suppose.

Technically I can only break ITAR but they know everything I know already, so fuck it we ball.

If Paladin is your enemy, you’ve typically earned it through some misdeed. He’s a gun for hire but seems to only take honorable cases.

Only if they don’t pull a George Lucas and digitally alter the rerelease to have (their version of) Greedo shoot first completely invalidating Han’s character arc.

I don’t care if “that’s what it was supposed to be the whole time we just fucked up,” well since you fucked up that’s how it is, consider it a happy accident and pretend you wrote it like that you dummy!

I also don’t get it, and don’t like it. Then again I don’t like reboots either like at all (exception, the KOTH continuation, they’re doing alright).

Part of what made Alien so good is specifically that they had a woman in a typically-male role, Action Hero, but also it was an original movie.

To use an example you provided, I have no problem with Princess and the Frog, not exactly an original concept being based on The Brother’s Grimm style stuff, but it draws from that well for inspiration and at least adds some originality, and representation is for sure important, I’m all for it! Whereas rebooting The Little Mermaid with a race-swapped Ariel is just a reboot with race swapping for good boy points and virtue signaling. Instead I’d much prefer a movie in what we could consider the expanded Little Mermaid universe that featured a black lead mermaid on some new adventure, maybe Ariel is old or dead or maybe not and they’re bffs, maybe Ariel hasn’t even been born and some Greek shit is happening on the mainland idk, but the possibilities are literally endless instead of “rerun same script but swap X.”

(And let me be clear it’s not entirely about the demographic-swapping, I hate live action reboots, reboots that don’t have the same production staff, etc. Oddly the only “change” that isn’t always terrible is cartoonification of live action things, sometimes that actually works like Toxic Crusaders.

KOTH gets a pass because they’re doing the best they can, most OG members are back except the dead ones, the new animation isn’t the best but the old way of cell animation is dead and lost, and the last fully cell animated episode was in season 8 anyway.)

I just want new and good, and preferably a return to practical effects.

Tbh I have a habit of doing it myself, because one has been decided offensive while the other has not. The other option in this case isn’t “men” either, rather it’d be “boys,” Camp Green Lake being a juvenile detention facility, and “boys” inverse “girls” can often be interpreted objectionably as well. (Not to mention the whole “holes” correlation, uhh, might not want to associate that with juveniles…)

Though also I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen “males” called out like the inverse word.

I want the small piece, I ate too much real food and now don’t have room for the big one and don’t like being judged for wasting that last bit of pie I knew I couldn’t eat.

Yeah I’ve been reading Clea, Huntress of Dragonvale. Part five of the Elves of Evermore Series.

"The Elf-Lord Fylfendell knelt upon the bed of dandelions.

"‘Young wanderer,’ quoth he, 'I have woven you

a magic breastplate…"’

I’m not biking 15mi (24.1km) to work by 7am, and then 15mi (24.1km) back home, for a total of 30mi (48.2km)/day, 5x a week. And that’s not even that far of a commute tbh.

Use .resources (or anything similarly innocuous) instead. Totally meaningless but to anyone who doesn’t know how to compute, they won’t see it and it’ll look innocuous if they do.

Also LUKS helps.

Tbf I want to watch this more than any “real” movie.

*Johhny Depp bites sandwich, suddenly he starts a transformation, much like your typical Dr. Jekyll situation with the screams and the contorting the body, then when the smoke clears the only difference is he has Don King’s hair and voice/affectations.*

I mean, no. She’s in a cushy medium security prison, nobody there is going to be dangerous enough to be the type that stabs, and if there is one they’re kept away from ol’ gizzy.

Like on one hand it’d be easier to do (not get away with though) being medium security, but that’s precisely because nobody will.

I loved the old Gushers ads, always wished my head would actually turn into a fruit lol.

And suddenly the guy waiting for it isn’t as crazy as the other guy waiting for it.
