I knew a guy on food stamps who voted for trump because he planned on being a billionaire through the powerball.

People would rather live in the reality of their fantasies than our current one… Which is why we need socialism.

Ask 4 different americans and all four will have different answers, all with negative associations. Unless you meet me, in which case i begin foaming at the mouth.

The idea is that common knowledge is the tip of the iceberg, and as you go deeper you get more niche and involved. A math iceberg, for example, would start with addition and subtraction, go into exponents, radicals, algebra, then imaginary numbers, series, set theory, then calculus, proofs, theoretical stuff.

The problem is they became popular, so its really just “stuff i wanted to talk about in a particular order”. Tier lists are slightly better designed, but people also vastly misinterpret the purpose of those as well; i highly suspect most tier list makers dont even know where S tier comes from

“Women like having rights and i want them to make me sandwiches.”

Conservatives and incels loooovvvveee to feel entitled to things personaly, which is kind of crazy because you’d think theyd support socialism in that case. Socialism distributes resources evenly, so in the dystopian end game where women are still treated as objects, every man would get 1 woman. Meanwhile the capitalist equivalent requires you to provide something of value for trade, which many of these men simply do not have

Ive been struggling for awhile to write a two sentence horror story with the premise of a child pulling all of their teeth for money, or maybe to help their family out of poverty.

Yeah. I highly suspect its mostly people who need Ubuntu for job purposes and have security policies or just the C-suite refusing to follow the times

Most people hardly need internet at all, but that doesnt mean the option shouldnt be available. Working in IT, ive had architects in remote areas attempting to download revit files (sometimes many gigabytes in size) over a T1 connection (maximum 1.5mb/s). We convinced them to swap to a 4g connection after much back and forth.

Our internet needs are going up more and more over time, especially in the age of “vibe code and ship it”. There are gonna be massive webpages, high quality video, and large downloads more often. 1gbps isn’t that crazy of a goal to hit when my co-ax cable is putting out ~300 mbps.

Personally, just working from home, i have several instances where i need to download gigabyte+ files on company time, sometimes multiple times a day, but fiber isnt available yet. Add on my wife streaming something, guests phone connections, throttling, or just wifi interference and suddenly my 300mbps becomes something like 150 mbps or less, making an hour process 2 hours. Make it 5g and cloudy and now im fired for wasting company time.

The reality is that we’re a big nation, and big nations are expensive and have insane needs. 1gbps can be achieved over coax fairly easily with enough infrastructure, but ISPs haaaatttteeee spending money when they can just collect a check instead

People ask this for every boycott or nationwide movement. The real answer is that more people do it if more time is given.

Theres a reason those facebook posts or tiktoks of “We’re boycotting ___ right now indefinitely!” Never really gain traction. Having one day where normies get to join in too and the data gets a sharp spike in activity is how change is noticed and effective.

“5 flock cameras are cut down nationwide weekly” is much less evocative than “On Halloween, 50,000 flock cameras were taken down in 3 hours” or something

Yeah i dont think people understand that a conventionally attractive anthropomorphic cartoon animal doesnt count

Necco wafers. Tums. Cherry flavored medicine.

Sounds like my job at a small full-house IT company. We did anything IT related the customer wanted. We got paid $1.2k by a rich guy to fix his son’s Roblox account once.

Real answer: this is talking about computers with windows 11 installed that also run Ubuntu through a service called WSL, or Windows Subsystem for Linux; basically you have a windows 11 pc that can do linux stuff too.

A native Ubuntu machine would be installed directly to the hard drive and booted that way.

I came out to my wife 5 days ago and started taking hormones yesterday. The pipeline is real (and beautiful)

Im either Dark Willow or Roshan. My wife is Kratos

The Wizard of Speed and Time is a very interesting 2026 movie when you realize it was made in 1988 (or 1979, depending on which part) without computer animation. Someome asked how he filmed the train sequence, where he outran a train. His answer? “I just ran faster than the train was moving”

I keep saying it but this is literal treason. In 19xx, any general or SECRATARY OF DEFENSE would absolutely be convicted immediately for putting american lives in danger to benefit your own ego. It’d be national news for weeks. Its fucking embarassing and dishonorable.

Id throw their tagline back at them, but theyve never believed in being “great” in the first place.

Im sure you could name one (or more!) treasonous activity the current administration has done for every week they’ve held majority without much difficulty at all

Weird answer: body parts! I have what i have and measuring it isnt going to make me feel better. I do the things i need to do to increase muscle, decrease fat, and maximize happiness and longevity.

Measuring leads to comparison leads to disappointment

Im a member of the nothing-ever-happens club but even I believe this story. Conservative men have a ideaology that demands they become hypocrites and social police at every opportunity

Unironically its exclusively to look “lean and efficient” to shareholders. You cant have “useless employees” making money when the product is already “finished”

No one in corporate America recognizes the value of a cohesive, well oiled team working a project theyre familiar with
