Running an absolutely ancient kernel.

Seinfeld slams woke student audiences: “Back when I dated high school girls, they found me hilarious!” (www.thebeaverton.com)

HOLLYWOOD – With his Netflix comedy film Unfrosted debuting to abysmal reviews, 70-year-old comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the failure on “extreme left, and PC college campus audiences”, unlike in his heyday, when the teenage girls he dated were fans of his comedy.

The thing about Seinfeld and other comedians who aren’t as popular anymore is that they blame the audience for not liking their material. Tastes change over time. The comedian either needs to change their act or live with the consequences that people aren’t going to like their material as much.

Rodney Dangerfield was a great comic for his time. If someone tried to tell the same jokes today, I don’t think he’d get very far. That’s not the fault of the audience. It’s the fault of the comedian. No one owes you a laugh.

“Free speech absolutist” these days means “you should be required to hear what I say” not “you should be able to say anything you want without government interference.”

I felt this way at one time when I was younger. Now I don’t give a shit what people want to do with their own bodies.

I’m O- so I give two units of red cells and get saline and the plasma/antibodies back. The guy at the donation site says “make sure you don’t drink any alcoholic beverages for 24 hours…but you can have one if you want.” He looks back to see if his manager is around and then whispers “you can have two but don’t leave the house.”

The Bible says in The Bible that The Bible is true.

Can’t argue with that logic.

New study links hospital privatisation to worse patient care (www.ox.ac.uk)

A new review has concluded that hospitals that are privatised typically deliver worse quality care after converting from public ownership. The study, led by University of Oxford researchers, has been published in https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(24)00003-3/fulltext....

He prefers a woman who is “damaged” because he thinks she’ll put up with being treated like a broodmare.

We feel shame at being naked because people have told us to be ashamed of certain areas of our body. It’s completely learned. Very young children run around without clothes on with no shame because they haven’t learned it yet.

It’s amazing how people in general can have no empathy for who are discriminated against even if they themselves were discriminated against.

Voting uncommitted is a fine thing to do during the primary. It shows the party that people are displeased with how the government is handling the Gaza situation.

Sitting out an election in Michigan is a bad idea. If you’re in a safe state, go wild. Just not Michigan.

Ohio transgender candidate disqualified for only including legal name, not former name, on petitions (ohiocapitaljournal.com)

Ohio actually has a law that says if you legally change your name within the last 5 years, it has to be on the petition. In the article it mentions that there is no place for a previous name (dead name in this instance) on the petition, and the Secretary of State’s candidate guide doesn’t mention this requirement at all....

It’s an issue because some asshat at her local county board of elections wanted to make an example of her.

Ohio Senate votes to approve changes to the marijuana law. DeWine urges bill's passage - Ohio Capital Journal (ohiocapitaljournal.com)

Looks like the Senate bill has gotten better. There is some good and some bad. They’re cutting back on home grow and max potency for extracts. They’re expunging all convictions on possession of 2.5oz or less, and I think most importantly, allowing people to buy from medical dispensaries for recreational use. Right now,...

The code has always been the easy part. The hard part is getting requirements that make sense. It will continue to be the case with bots doing the coding.

The concept of rewatching a movie is almost foreign to me now given that I have access to a library of tens of thousands of movies. It would have to be very good and something that whoever I’m with hasn’t seen.

Of course I used to watch the same movie about every month or so back when I was growing up in the 90s.

Back when I worked at Burger King in high school, there was me and a stoner running the late shift. I’m running the drive through and the guy wants a Whopper, plain but heavy, heavy, heavy, […], heavy, heavy pickles. I push the “heavy pickles” button about 7 times. He probably said it 15-20. The stoner starts giggling and says “I’LL GIVE THIS FUCKER JUST WHAT HE ASKED FOR.” He proceeds to put, easily, 100 pickle slices on the sandwich. At this point it’s a pickle burger with a little meat. It goes out the window and we go about our day.

Manager gets a call about 15 minutes later. Guy calls in and asks to talk to the person who made his sandwich. Manager says “sigh, what did he do this time?” Guy says he’s been eating at Burger King for 15 years and this was the first person to make his Whopper the way he wanted.

Yeah I think Arch is fine, but I’d never recommend it to a new Linux user.
