No, it’s an edited shitpost of the neo-Nazi’s comic. He did not coin the term.

Nah, she made a really deep cut.

Robot clearly never watched the ending of Fallout 3 about letting the humans do it instead.

So going off the chalice in the movie, the distro that will save you from judgment is the plainest one – the one with the least bloat? That tracks.

Remember: this didn’t happen.

Damn, and you almost picked the cool, not tankie kind of communism too.

Veganism. I went vegetarian and stayed there for a long time, and I assumed taking the extra step to being vegan would be too difficult relative to what I thought at the time was a marginal benefit. A couple years back, I watched the documentary Dominion (NSFL) and realized pretty quickly that I’d been mistaken. Of course it was more than just Dominion, but it’s such an acutely traumatizing kick in the teeth that it was definitely the last straw.

They’d rather haaaave

Oh, that’s cool.

No they aren’t.

… You mean “tweet”?

Is there such a community here? Maybe you could start one.

This sounds like “I want developers’ lives to be a living hell if they ever decide to overhaul their UI.”

Congress needs to give the FDA the power to regulate supplements goddamn yesterday.

I blame both, much in the same way that I’d blame a quack doctor and parents bringing their kids to the quack doctor.

13 words per minute isn’t impressive

Worse than that, it’s abysmal. That would’ve been a failing grade back when I had a few months of mandatory typing classes back in 6th grade. 40 WPM was an A, and arguably that was overly generous due to factors like 1) most students weren’t nearly as exposed to the keyboard in their daily lives as they are today, 2) the testmakers probably didn’t fully grasp how important the Internet would become, 3) the test intentionally obscured the keyboard so you had to go by feel, and 4) because of (2), the class was very short despite taking you from knowing no typing to using all the English-language keys. (I just barely passed it IIRC in the 45-ish WPM range.)

On a whim, I decided to pull up a typing test – something I haven’t done in probably 5 years – and tried to see how I could do by simulating the speed of hunt-and-peck. I really tried to make it excruciatingly slow, and it still came out to just under 20 WPM. Next, I tried to see what I could do if I only had my left hand, and it was 35 WPM with 97% accuracy. If you chopped off one of my hands, I could still type 2.7x faster than the average kid in that school’s fourth grade could – bearing in mind that that’s the average, meaning as long as the data is roughly normal, about half of the students fall below even that.

That’s completely insane in a world where this iPad generation almost assuredly has tons of exposure to the QWERTY keyboard layout. It’s just inexcusable, it’s absolutely not the kids’ fault as them doubling their average typing speed after actually being taught to type shows that, and it totally tracks that it’s in Oklahoma.

The “good guy with a gun” trope in US gun control discourse is based strictly around a civilian who carries a firearm with them, not police or security whose job it is to carry a firearm and keep people safe. That’s 12/433 people, not 28%. 15/433 at most if you count the off-duty cops.

When people talk about “good guys with guns” to stop mass shootings, it’s a bullshit way of deflecting from the actual problem, instead going in the opposite direction of the solution by saying even more civilians should be armed.

This is why more schools need therapy dogs: it might encourage the police to actually enter the building during active shootings.

The Aelia Capitolina PD were fucking loose cannons, man.

SingStar Splenic Flexure

Ah, the classic no true good guy fallacy.
