Went into rehab last year, my guess is a relapse. Bad for everyone involved.

why do we hate the us government

uhhhh where do you wanna start. I mean pick a year between 1776 and now. Pick a month, probably.

they said that about suffrage and women’s suffrage too.

I feel like I’m starting to see way more sympathetic comments than I did a year ago.

Consider this: I pick up a tennis racket and a tennis ball, so does my wife, we go to a tennis court, I hit the ball to her gently, she hits it back: Are we playing tennis or not?

If we are not, what are we doing?

And yet it’s nowhere near the level of Serena Williams, or even the local semi Pro tournament, or probably even the local tennis club.

why does it have it be good, or more accurately for this conversation- why do you have to like it for it even to exist and have a name?

I dont particularly care for The Wiggles, or for Machine Gun Kelly, but both of them produce music. Just because I don’t like it, or think it’s not good doesn’t mean it’s not music. Even a child slowly, shakily playing a basic C major scale and getting it wrong is still “music.” Its not Mozart but it still exists.

There is no “point” or “value” you can attach to tennis, music or sculpture - or other forms and media of art, entertainment, sport, science etc that means it suddenly becomes that. Art you don’t like is still art.

ah yes, being able to survive being hit with a hammer, what everyone is looking for from art.

people are banned from doing things because they did things. e.g. if you DUI you get banned from future driving not just punished for the past. Hackers get banned from the internet etc

If yelling “fire” in a movie theatre is so dangerous why not allow people to do it and don’t ban it and instead just arrest them after the stampede?

I’d call earning 30 mil over 60 years “very wealthy,” which would net you 3333 lifetimes at that rate out of 100 billion.

Starting at 18 years old At that rate you could pay off a 3 bedroom house in a major city before you were 21. Even if you had to work 8-6, 6 days a week for that money you could probably retire by 40 years old.

I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.

I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go

• Get your IP address by entering this command
• Type your IP address in this line
• Now forward any chosen port to your proxy of choice and don’t forget to check your firewall settings!

My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.

same as it ever was.

Pick an industry that is also the case. In marketing There are people earning 7 figures for configuring a Google ads deck that a talented undergrad could do in half the time

In acting you can just throw a dart at the SAG directory.

Painting, music, business administration, politics. You name it.

the legendary Lewes bonfire no less

I would let 90% of the entire cast run a train on me.

if PrEP had been invented 25 years ago it would be banned

we’ve come a long way

forgiveness is often for yourself, not the third party.

It doesn’t change anything for the killer to be forgiven in your mind, but it changes something in your mind to forgive.

I fucked something up and installed pihole and adguard at the same time both in a container and bare metal and received a massive load of error messages that after 2 hours of trying to unstick just formatted the SD card and started over. So then, installing and configuring ssh, fstab the external drive, set a static IP address on the pi took up all of my time so far.

yes - grew up in the 80s so witticisms like “4 bits is a nybble” are stuck in the brain.

Although it doesn’t seem relevant it’s actually pretty illuminating in what IP addresses are and do so thank you for that

that’s a helpful explanation of subnets thank you

In the paradigm of

111.222.3.4:5/22

if “3” is subnet and “5” is port - what are the names of “4”, “222”, “111”, and “22”?

And is there ever a 000.111.222.3.4:5/22 or another add on?

yes, wlan vs eth, right? And then in some providers, tun for the vpn?

Even if they are in separate rooms, they just have to be on the same network?
