Reckless*

zarkanian, 3 days ago

I was part of a coding bootcamp, and one day the class was talking about git. Somebody mentioned that “git” is also a word used as an insult, like “That guy is a total git”. When I revealed that was where the name came from, several students audibly gasped, and a couple said something like “Oh, how embarrassing!” I had the weirdest sense of culture shock, and I had no doubt those students would make very good corporate drones.

For them, I guess. I can imagine some folks would be embarrassed to tell people that they use GIMP for the same reason.

That’s what I heard, too. He has a habit of naming his software projects after himself: Linux, git.

Oh, he’ll accept the result…if he wins.

He’s an “imperfect vessel”, but God uses imperfect vessels. That’s what I’ve heard from Christian Trump supporters.

And it’s hard to argue with. He’s done a lot for them. He got Roe v. Wade overturned!

Fascists can act out their power fantasies in a healthy, consensual way in the bedroom. Not in my government!

So, do you start licking the boot from the toe or the heel?

Or are you the kind of person who just deep-throats the whole boot?

Vaush explained the idea in one of his streams.

Yeah, I quit watching him. Dude is pretty problematic. “Genocide is bad and wrong, but still vote for Biden, because party loyalty is more important.” At least he has the balls to criticize Biden, which is more than I can say for some people.

I don’t think that voting for the same two parties is going to change that. Those two parties got us into this; they aren’t going to get us out.

Voting for the Green Party is the bare minimum. Voting for Democrats or Republicans is capitulation.

Do that need to trick people to do that? It isn’t like it’s hard to find selfies.

It makes no difference to the victim whether or not the fister is enjoying it. The experience is the same.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I’ve heard a lot of people use that same logic. “I want the cow to have a happy life before it’s killed for my dinner”. Isn’t that the while logic behind “free range”, “cage-free”, etc.?

It isn’t even that. You can be pro Zionism and anti Netanyahu.

While I agree with you in the main, I don’t see how this is cowardice.

This is largely a myth. While it’s true that caffeine is a diuretic, the effect on hydration is very small. This is especially true for tea, which has minimal amounts of caffeine. Hospitals are not full of people who got dehydrated from drinking too much coffee or even energy drinks.

Do a web search for “caffeine dehydration myth” (no quotes). There are lots of articles on the topic.

There’s decaf tea, like there’s decaf coffee, but it’s still camellia sinensis.

Now, if you’re talking about herbal tea, there are a bajillion different kinds: rooibos, chamomile, lavender, etc. Some herbal teas do have caffeine (such as yerba mate), but most do not.

“I want the victims not to suffer, because that makes the meat taste better!”

Whoa, hold on there, Pollyannna.

You know you can do a web search for how to spell a name. You don’t have to just wing it.
