Well, at least they figured out a solution to the whole “crabs” problem they had going on, clearly

Based on your first couple of sentences, I feel like you don’t understand what the concept of the government possessing the monopoly on violence means… Like, in terms of that role socially (as in, for society) itself, or in practical terms. I’m particularly confused by you seeming to assert that technological advancement somehow had altered/was altering this… Governments have used - and I’m sure will continue to use - all of the things you mentioned and a great many more to maintain their monopoly of violence. It isn’t an actual office somewhere or anything technology can necessarily supplant, it’s more of a social construct/contract

Isn’t that arguably only because modern governments maintain a “monopoly on violence,” essentially?

Hopefully, at some point, things will stop happening so we can finally reach a consensus on some stuff…

"…proud to announce that my hobby, my obbsession and belief in Crypto Markets and tools Blockchain gives us…

Wait, hold up, what the actual fuck is any of that even supposed to mean?! Dude’s over here having some weird ass orgiastic, quasi religious experience over whatever the hell that’s supposed to be along with his whole “Leveraged Gains blah Real World Asset Tokenization gerfuckty woo” spiel, whereas I, upon attempting to read it, spent most of the time tying to figure out which of us was having a stroke…

You may be tempted to believe there’s something of substance to be gleaned from the pic in OP as most - if not all - of the words in it appear to have definitions and everything, but I assure you, there is nothing there.

I hope I didn’t come across as a dick to you, btw, as I do share the sentiment you seem to be espousing, believe it or not, including your original contention of the media sensationalizing things… But it seems it’s always the wrong things anymore, at least, doesn’t it? Panic about just the entirely wrong things, instead of what we should very clearly be concerned about.

Anyway, my apologies again if I contributed to any undue stress or bad feelings or what-have-you… I just want to see everybody home safe and happy at the end of the day, and it honestly breaks my heart a little bit to know that we now have a government in America that isn’t the slightest bit concerned with even giving lip service to that ideal.

I dunno, I feel like the sentiment from that last sentence of yours there is part of the reason we’re in the mess we’re in to begin with

Smoke meth and hail Satan!

But fuckin magnets

How do they work

So… Would it have made it better or worse if she was yelling for her dad instead? 🤣

Just out of curiosity, how much space/effort was that to set up? (Yes, I know I can probably google up like a bajillion resources on this exact thing, but I’m a weirdo and am attempting to bring the (non-toxic/shitty) social back to social media)

I’ve been considering setting myself up a little NAS server since I finally dumped Spotify and am considering doing the same with video streaming too (besides Tubi, anyway), but having one just for mp3/light video streaming seems like a bit of a waste and having local repos of useful sites might be a fun side project to help justify it to myself lol

Burma shave trade

Sizing the partitions is a step you (can) take when formatting the drive… And from what I can tell the Envy has an M2 nvme in it, and it just seems crazy to me to basically just ignore that to boot off of an SD card/USB drive…

How sure are you that you want to be using Linux? Lol

Just use Rufus, dude… You can even set the amount of space your image/deployment/instance (whatever the most correct term is lol) persists in, which makes it more convenient if (like me) you find yourself frequently wanting to play around with new and exciting distros.

Also, not to gang up on ya or anything either, but I’m gonna have to second the other commentor’s request for the info on that laptop, as I’ve never encountered one that prevented you from reformatting it… o_0 I would be returning the fuck out of that garbage… Even the non-ARM old chromebooks would let you do that.

How else am I supposed to get these bees outta my teeth then, oh ye who is so wise in the ways of science?

Sometimes, it really do be like that tho
