Wait, so rum is a dude??

Are you saying my dick is broken and not the brothel? Ruh Roh.

Nah, I’m not trying to give any commentary on Lemmy or Linux in this thread. I’m just talking about how poorly the analogy is lining up for the intended purpose. Honestly, Lemmy shouldn’t be pushing any one thing in general, imo.

I do get confused about the people that show up in Linux specific communities and get mad about “all the Linux fanatics”, and maybe the original analogy would work for that.

I’d be very happy just to see Oklahoma actually wait until the polls close to declare the republican presidential win…

I swear every year, they decide it so early I am convinced the electors don’t even care what the vote counts are. There is no fucking way backwards as fuck Oklahoma figured out a way to accurately track and count votes faster than any other state - and voter turnout would need to be so high they know it can’t possibly turn around in the last 2 hours of the polls still being open? Yea right.

Ok, so I get you are still trying to make the analogy work, but this is like getting mad that your coffee shop sucks, deciding to go to the local car dealership for the free coffee instead, and then complaining that they keep trying to sell you cars.

This analogy is breaking down rapidly, that was my point. lol.

You make it sound like Puerto Rico is some tax haven where they don’t pay the federal government anything, but Puerto Rico pays more in total federal taxes than 6 US states.

even though you’re not there for service

I mean, it’s pretty weird for a person to hang out in a brothel and not expect a couple of sales pitches for their services. They kinda only do the one thing, why go there if you aren’t down for it?

I’ve been shouting from the rooftops for years that this stuff is malware. I’m not the only one. No one listens.

Except we made an exception for citizens that reside in Washington DC. They have no representative in the senate, but were given 3 electoral college votes for president and vice president.

So we totally can (and have) extended the right to vote to citizens living outside one of the 50 states to vote, we just won’t for Puerto Rico. :(

State or not I think its pretty ridiculous that they are american citizens but can’t vote for president of the united states… People living in DC get to vote and aren’t living in a state.

I fucking love running updates on garuda. Watching the little ASCII pacmans gobbling up the progress bar… And it doesn’t do it unless I tell it to so I never have the windows experience of “I just wanna play a game,oh look, 10 minutes of updates instead. Guess I’ll go make a sandwich…”

Thank God for the graph tho, I havnt used math like that in 20 years, and I’ve spent that 20 years getting dumber.

I want one but the price has kept me away… But its about to be time. I’m not one to upgrade often, I’m still on a galaxy s9 plus, which I love, but the battery is showing its age and the screen has some minor burn in after like I think 6 years of constant use.

One 3-headed hound of the abyss.

I did not have that issue. I actually overslept A LOT when on caffeine, I think I just wasn’t getting very restful sleep so I would sleep for 20-30 hours if I did not set any alarms. When I got off caffeine I started going to bed a earlier (still a “night owl” but going to bed at like 1 or 2 am instead of 5 or 6am) and sleeping without alarms gets me 10ish hours. I used to regularly sleep entirely through my “weekends” off work… Life was very stressful without any usable free time.

Windows 10 on day 1 was still ‘calling home’ and recommending candy crush in the start menu as I recall. I had to dig into the registry to gut the windows store from it entirely to get windows 10 to act how i want an OS to act. Windows 7 was the last good windows IMO.

Fucking boomer, lol

That about sums up how I used to feel which caused me to stop consuming caffeine. When I could hear my own pulse while in a public place, I knew my blood pressure was a problem.

You are 100% right, and I know it… But I’m bad at taking care of health stuff, going to doctors, etc… I’ll try, that’s the best I can say. :)

Every polling place I’ve ever been to was a church… Separation of church and state, amirite? 😭
