Odd, Superbad is the only movie I’ve ever seen twice (or more) in the theaters.

I saw it and thought it was the funniest movie I’d ever seen, then a couple weeks later my buddy wanted to see a movie so I saw it a second time with him. No regrets.

Good to know we can just “teach” any imaginary thing we want. It sounds like it’d be neat? Fuck it, let’s teach it.

What?! No! How could this have been Linux’s “killer feature”?

Am I taking crazy pills? It really matters to you that you can use a single command to upgrade your system?

Dude I fucking hate those Linux ubernerds, and think that “looks shitty” is almost a Hallmark of your classic Linux application, but… you have no idea what you’re talking about. (…Also I don’t think you know what a “kernel” is.)

“40 year head start” is one hell of a fallacy. As if MS and Apple from 1983 are meaningfully related (in this sense) to what they are and do now.

The fundamental difference, anyway, is cross-platform compatibility. What percent of Linux users even use desktop office suites and shit like that? The desktop world has been moving to the browser for 15+ years and both Chrome and Firefox are practically identical on every OS.

Linux has a long way to go, but the stuff you were listing is madness.

Ha I was writing another comment on this thread when this got posted, but I just feel like it’s important, relevant to that, to say that the hairs didn’t evolve FOR any specific purpose.

This is funny, and really speaks to a fundamental issue we have during education as to assigning agency for what amount to"random" events.

OP is presumably educated and intelligent, and the takeaway they had was that bees “are pollinators” which is true with regard to our interest in them, but definitely implies agency that they are intentionally pollinating, which (I am pretty sure) isn’t true.

It feels like the same question that gets asked in a million different ways of “why did XYZ evolve that way when ABCD?” (Because evolution is random and tends toward selecting for energy conservation. Not to “achieve” some specific goal.)

My God that’s white.

Yes.

Fuck nuance!

What the fuck are all these comments?

It’s an article about an unresolved and recurring problem with a popular drive that the ostensibly reputable manufacturer is trying to hide.

But 90% of the comments are people jerking themselves off about how smart they are for using RAID, which is irrelevant to the point of the article… But never miss an opportunity to pleasure yourself in public I guess?

No, of course not! That was a joke.

…Nor do I think self-amused tweets count as political news.

One wouldn’t know, because this is the same low effort Jeff Tiedrich style clapback tweet that is posted constantly regardless of context.

That is to say, I would love it if there was actual content posted here that informed me of what I now have a vague awareness of, and then I can jerk off to the imaginary conversations people are having with Republicans in, again, every other community.

Oh, I thought the USA news and politics community might be about news and politics in the USA, but it’s good that it’s the same sort of snappy tweet screenshots that are in the hundred other meme communities that come up with the “Everything” filter on. What a relief.

Question, is it OK to post Calvin and Hobbes and “yiff” porn here too? It just feels like those are too uncomfortable and important to contain in several other Lemmy communities too.

Agreed!

… But also, does every community need to just be righteously indignant screenshots of tweets? Like… Can’t a community called USA be something… else?

Ha, well, yeah this pretty much tracks.

To paraphrase: “if we only pay attention to the most fundamental requirements and ignore any nuance and subtlety that’s added, the implementation is perfect. What’s the problem?”

Or: “Why care about the body of the post when there’s at title?”

If this comment isn’t the perfect distillation of the frustration people have with GIMP, I don’t know what is.

OP makes a very even-handed, consciencious treatise to gather more info about alternatives to GIMP based on the UX issues they themselves have been struggling with and which are commonly recognized throughout the community, with at least one example, while acknowledging how incredible and powerful an undertaking a piece of software GIMP definitely is, and…

… The same cookie cutter response on every single GIMP discussion since 1998: “IT IS VERY POWERFUL. WHAT FEATURE IS IT MISSING?”

Similar to GIMP itself: You’re not wrong you’re just… Not being anywhere near as helpful as you could be.

I don’t know, but I keep trying to comment on posts federated from other instances and half the time I get some obscure error and it fails, and it’s fucking irritating.

I know a girl who thinks of ghosts. She’ll make you breakfast; she’ll make you toast. But she don’t use butter. And she don’t use cheese. She don’t use jelly, or any of these.

She uses Vaseline.

Vaseline.

Vaseline.

Patches by Dickie Lee or Patches by Clarence Carter?

… Or Patches the Clown by Deadbolt?

(All great songs.)

Hmm that part really was the only thing that resonated with me.
