Well have you tried with your penis?

Well my one is warm at least. Just so you know.

Er, don’t list it as a hobby in your CV, that’s my advice.

Yes it is!

I was a boy, and I appreciate it.

As long as you keep your socks on.

Wait, when you say “ride”, which position did you want to… Oh well, erm, never mind, forget I asked. Uhm… Yeah, bro, whatever, sounds fun. I’m there for you, bro.

You’ve gotta spice up your love life, dude, change things around every so often, try something new occasionally. You might both like it.

There’s nothing quite like a fully shaved scrotum. It really is quite breathtaking.

Ah. I use regex replace every week with matching substrings a good few times a month. It’s not any slower to load than notepad and considerably less annoying.

The only time it’s ever in the least bit slow to load is when it’s on a onedrive folder at work and Microsoft don’t cache it locally so there’s a delay getting the thing in the first place.

Does metapad have regex find and replace? If so, smaller and even faster is appealing.

When rightwingers talk about freedom of speech, they mean freedom from criticism or consequences of their rightwing crap takes, which is why you find rightwingers talking about freedom from censorship by the means of censorship.

When rightwingers talk about gun rights to help protect them from oppressive federal government, they mean freedom for rightwingers to use guns to threaten people they don’t like, without consequences or criticism, which is why you find right wing people objecting very strongly to protesters (against the oppressive federal government) having a gun anywhere near them.

When right-wingers talk about liberty, they mean their freedom to do whatever the fuck they feel like without interference or criticism. They absolutely do not mean that someone with slightly darker skin than them should have the right to due process before being banged up or deported.

When right wiggers talk about abortion, they absolutely do not mean that their girlfriend shouldn’t be able to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. They mean that those dirty libtards shouldn’t be allowed to murder babies willy-nilly just for the fun of it like they usually do.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of us that when right-wingers talk about religious liberty, they absolutely do not mean that everyone is free to practice their own religion in their own way in the privacy of their own home. What they of course mean is that anyone who is not a right winger should be stopped from saying anything critical about their fake religious views, including, of course, Jesus himself, who was obviously way too woke by their standards, with his radical leftist takes like: look after the poor, be kind to foreigners, treat other people how you like to be treated, don’t turn your place of worship into a business for profit, and worst of all, don’t make up a bunch of religious rules that don’t make anything any better, for other people to follow whilst you’re not even following them yourself. Oh, and really, don’t be a hypocrite. In case you missed that one.

So, no, I’m not surprised that Trump’s religious liberty commission was all about suppressing dissent. Of course it was. He hates criticism. He loves people who will unquestioningly support him. People who label themselves as Christian because that’s what rich white people they see are doing, but who wouldn’t dream of letting it interfere with their bigotry, they are right up his street.

WordPad writes fairly clean rtf. Word writes incredibly bloated messy rtf. No, I don’t want to use a .docx or .pdf generating library, I just wanna slap some strings together and have it come out ready to print yet editable by non techy users. I use wordpad to write my templates.

I use EditPadLite and have done for a loong time. It has regex find and replace, is fast and you can tell it to display word wrapped or not, numbered lines or not, font, size, colours, syntax highlighting scheme, all based on file extensions. I have it as my default text editor and for all kinds of other files as well as text.

If I want to do major coding, I fire up the IDE and choose from my recent projects, but if I want to quickly edit some xml or a single source file, I double click it and edit it in EditPadLite.

If you’re still on windows 10, notepad is fine, but you might not be getting security updates for the whole OS. If you’re on windows 11, notepad is annoying, bloated, has AI, and is a security risk. Also the OS updates you are getting might well be written by AI, and we all know how infallible AI is, right?

Spikey fir tree!

Braindead ruling. Not as braindead as “the equality act was not intended to protect trans people” which is about as stupid and fucked up as it gets, but still really pretty braindead.

Not if you’re selling it in shops.

I think you’re in the clear if you’re just giving it away to people you like.

The Democrats move right when they see the Republicans win. Letting the Republicans win forces the Democrats to move right, because that’s where the votes of people who actually fucking vote go. The reverse would also be true. Letting the country drift further and further right by refusing to support or vote for the only people who would move it in even the least bit leftwards is a special form of brain dead crap.

Bold of them to write such horseshit about Republicans not moving right while ice squads dressed like thugs shoot people in the street, abduct anyone who looks vaguely less white and puts them in detention or deports them with no legal process.

But no, start your study conveniently at the end of the Reagan/Gingritch era and then do tell me why this is all Obama’s fault because (checks notes) Republicans didn’t used to be this implacably opposed to abortion and (checks notes again) both parties moved on racism and healthcare. Yes, I see why the poor rural conservatives felt “left behind” by radicalised perspectives like “not all black people deserve to be treated like slaves” and “let’s have some sort of subsidy for privatised healthcare”.

There’s a special sort of dumb that some clever people have where they refuse to see reality.

This study is a croc of shit. Its conclusions don’t even match the content they chose to summarise.

I enjoyed this rant a great deal.
