How dare you say Debian is the best distro! I use it on my work computer and it’s very stable (despite the fact that the flatpak of Ferdium mysteriously stopped working). Clearly the best distro is Manjaro, which I use on my gaming laptop.

That’s a fair point. The US empire expanded tremendously after all the war profiteering from WW2, which allowed for the evil that we see today.

I would argue that the British Empire and Belgium were pretty fucking evil long before the US came into existence.

Or it serves as a way to dissipate the smoke smell when breathing out. In my college days, we called it a “sploof.”

I doubt it. I’m a Jewish professional (clergyman) and see how many people in my somewhat liberal congregation are rabid supporters of Israel. For them, this would just be another instance of antisemitism.

Before I watched the GIF, I was thinking “I bet this is in Turkey.” Pretty sure I’m right.

Your son has ice in his veins. I’m very impressed.

I remember the first time I soloed Lavos with Chrono. Helluva great feeling.

To be fair, the plague in Hebrew (Egyptian?) is צפרדע /tz’fardei’ah, which looks like a singular and not a plural. I totally see where he’s coming from. But also, I thought it was in Midrash Tanchuma.

חג פסח שמח!

It’s part of the training. People are happier when they have food in their mouths, so that’s why waitstaff wait until your mouth is full before asking. That way, they can avoid complaints.

To anyone who objects to this meme, keep your forked tongue behind your teeth.

What a cute traveling companion! Lucky you.

The “live, laugh, love” pillow is a nice touch. I wouldn’t mind this kind of poltergeist in my house…as long as they make good design choices.

I can understand why the government would want to do away with the colonial language. It’s a reminder of a dark time. However, the decision of what the official language(s) should be can lead to some tricky politics. If one local language is elevated, it gives an advantage to those who grew up speaking it. This is especially hard for minority languages from indigenous peoples.

An example of this is in Botswana, where I’m currently living. The Tswana people came up from South Africa and displaced indigenous populations like the San and Herero. After independence in 1966 from being a British protectorate, they made English the official language and Setswana the national language. English is used in education and government, but everyone is also expected to learn Setswana to function in society. For those who didn’t grow up speaking Setswana or who don’t learn it, it’s harder or impossible to get good healthcare or a good job.

Language politics can get really messy when there are lots of local languages. I worry about what might happen as a result of this decision.

Carl’s Jr has deemed you an unfit parent!

Sailor moon, you ain’t got no hands!

That’s some Shadowrun level dystopian shit

Tell that to the US government. There’s a reason the United States isn’t part of the ICC.

I was using Thunderbird when I switched to Fedora, but then I found out about Evolution. If you use GNOME, I think it’s much better.

That right there is a prime example of a good dog. Make sure they know it.
