From a Pure capitalist POV, the only thing wrong with that scenario is that the prisoners probably won’t be working. Or won’t be working enough. Capitalism isn’t concerned with a balanced state budget

This. And same with the libs. Any time people try to set up a safe tent encampment, the pigs come through to brutalize and move them along.

We should make a deal with the pope: reverse the centuries of cis heteronormative church doctrine, and in exchange you get to say frociaggine all you want. I think this is a fair trade.

How do you do, fellow gays

If the major psychological/pediatric organizations come out in support of this, I’ll eat my words. [Edit] words: Eaten

As soon as the shower is off: 🥶

A detective has been trying to interview me, and I have no fucking idea why. So that’s been stressful. Remember: don’t talk to police! Doesn’t matter if you haven’t committed any crimes, it’s always a bad idea to talk. On the bright side, this dumbass detective can’t even find where I live. I’m just living my life, not even trying to hide.

If someone smokes a pack a day for 5 decades and gets lung cancer, we don’t say “well, it might’ve been a cosmic ray…” That’s technically the truth, but it’s not how we evaluate risk. We can be pretty certain that the lung cancer was from smoking, and not a cosmic ray or one month of junk food 20 years prior.

I’m not an oncologist, but Im certain that decades of alcohol abuse is far more likely to cause cancer than a month of mcdonalds. If it was a cancer strongly associated with alcohol use, like esophageal or liver, then it wouldn’t be very different from the smoking example above

This is why I’m on Lemmy

press button

Get million dollars

Wtf I thought this was the button that turns you into a girl

Ok but wtf is going on with goats?

no.

The problem with the cli is you need to memorize a whole bunch of new words and syntax in order to do anything. You also need to memorize what not to do so you don’t accidentally erase your system while using rm or cp or whatever.

Even something as simple as copying and pasting, which works the same in every single other program has new rules in the terminal. I mean, think about that. If you’re just learning bash, then the first thing you’ll be doing is copy pasting commands. But even that has the hurdle of 'oh, I guess this is the one program where ctrl-c means something else

Like, how do you look at sudo, cat, man, and apt, and think ‘yeah that’s intuitive’. And forget about multitasking, new users won’t even know how to quit most programs (is it ctrl-q? Just q? Esc? Ctrl-c? Ctrl-d? Wait how do I undo that, is it ctrl-z? Wait where did the thing go

I’ve tried to run Ubuntu, mint, Debian, and couple other distros without the terminal to see if I can actually recommend it to non-geeks. And every time, I conclude I can’t because the fucking “software center” (or whatever it’s called) is always garbage, and it’s easier to just use apt.

The only time I’ll recommend Linux to a non-tech person is when the hardware is so old that it would just be junked without Linux.
