‘communist’ has been a hot word since the 50s

Make it 1939, if you live in Eastern Europe.

screen is like tmux, right? So you can split your CLI, open a new window/tab to open more Bash/Vim instances?

currency = capitalism

u wot mate? If that was the case then we would always have had Capitalism, which we’ve obviously did not. You need a system that supports inserting capital into random companies to get to Capitalism, not (just) currency.

Neither Stalin nor Mao were genocidal.

Do you deny the Holodomor happened?

satay-sauce

I’ve been on the internet since 1996 or so, and this is the first mention (in English) of Satay. Amazing.

Satay with some mayo is nice as well.

Some good kebab helps too, probably due to the fat and salt, but water over kebab, if you have to choose.

I feel there’s this trend where movie directors must and shall make their own story in whatever world is in front of them, instead of trying to make a movie that would fit in the game, or simply take the game’s story and make a movie out of that.

It’s why Lord of The Ring was so fucking good (Christopher Lee/Saruman read the books every year of his life, and corrected Peter Jackson whenever necessary), whereas Rings of Power is shit (I mean, a loving Orc family? What the FUCK have they been snorting!?). It’s also why I’m hopeful to get something good out of Henry Cavill directing any 40k movie (that, or we’re getting nothing, at best. At worst someone else takes over and we’re getting female custodes for no good reason).

OK, so it’s going to be a shitty movie and no one is going to watch it, other than YouTubers, so they can dunk on the movie.

This is a second shitty movie with Black Jack in it. Lets hope he’s not a trend setter.

The prosecutor argued that the murder of Shepard was premeditated and driven by greed

McKinney’s girlfriend told police that he had been motivated by anti-gay sentiment but later recanted her statement, saying that she had lied because she thought it would help him.

Price said she had lied to police about McKinney having been provoked by an unwanted sexual advance from Shepard, telling TV journalist Elizabeth Vargas, “I don’t think it was a hate crime at all.”[9][37] Rerucha said, “It was a murder that was once again driven by drugs.”[9]

Doesn’t seem to be a hatecrime. Just a crime against someone that happened to be gay.

Barely related, but in Dutch, it’s called “Informatica”, which is a much better name than “Computer Science”. “Computer Science” is like called Astronomy “Telescope Science”.

people jumped ship to Reddit because it was better.

People jumped ship because Digg turned into complete and utter garbage, and Reddit wasn’t completely awful. It was a weird site though, 100%.

Digg would’ve been fine had they not forced Digg v4 on users.

What’s a good voice-chat alternative then?

No, I called her standard nigh impeccable, which should be the default. Having a dead bug is not “nigh impeccable”.

Which part of my previous comment caused the confusion? Because now I’m confused on why people misunderstand my comment.

Is this the same?

The World of Warcraft term, or the gay community term? Important distinction.

I play Dome Keeper and World of Warcraft: WotLK instead, but I also program on it, so I guess I don’t count. Newer high-profile games don’t have that je ne sais quoi that games from around 2004 had. Perhaps I’ve just played too many games, which makes them predictable, and those old games are just pure nostalgia for me.

Wild that Reddit’s creation is closer to the start of the Eternal September than it is to today (19 years).

Good. Super-fast growth fucks with local internet culture. Look at what happened to reddit when digg died.

there aren’t role models

What would you expect from a “role model”? Just a person who does good for its own sake? Doing so would be something that’s not publicized, so it’s hard to show off good behaviour.

Robin Williams was always a standup guy, Keanu Reeves seems like a nice guy, Ryan Reynolds seems to be a standup guy (but he has a hard monetary incentive to keep this image), the guys from Cinema Therapy seem to be decent. Do these people count as role models?

Yeah, it’s Bandit. It’s one of those series that you can watch as an adult. It’s great. If they ever stop making it, I’m going to riot.
