It really does come together a lot more the second time around

“The beatings will continue until morale improves” energy.

Once again with garlic memes, me, but with with onions instead of garlic (or also with garlic, both are good).

Came to it late, but the most recent Vampire Weekend, “Only God Was Above Us.” The arpeggio on the track Pravda sends me.

Also been listening to some Tom Waits, but that’s not unusual. Also still a bunch of Fenne Lily, she’s really caught me, and holy shit she’s so good live.

I had barely talked to any of mine in ten years, had hoped to never talk to them again.

Then I got diagnosed with cancer and had nowhere else to turn.

Sometimes the plan to never talk to them again doesn’t turn out as great as one would hope.

All I can say is I am sorry and my entire family, not just a brother, is the same, so I empathize.

I don’t know what to do about it either. I am mostly just broken.

Dianne Morgan is absolutely dreamy. She somehow gets more attractive as Philomena.

Gates in particular is a creepy fucking sexist asshole who abused his position at Microsoft to make passes at numerous women who were his subordinates, including Melinda Gates, whom he met about four months after she started working at Microsoft.

Not that this makes him much different from any other billionaires.

We both know that this kind of nuanced take isn’t was Truss is aiming for, though. Otherwise she wouldn’t use the “free speech” canard.

You reminded me of this old film from the 1980’s:

B & E from A to Z: How to Get In Anywhere, Anytime

Last I checked the UK has no guarantees of free speech.

Yeah for that you have to look to Germany, which has largely embraced Matrix, and certain states, such as Schleswig-Holstein, have embraced Linux and LibreOffice:

c’est magnifique

he thinks I’m going to unintentionally hurt him in the future which I’m trying to accept but it makes me so mad.

This is going to happen in every relationship for all the time until the end of time. There are zero relationships where people don’t unintentionally hurt each other. He is weaseling for a way out of reality. We all do little things that hurt one another, even our closest loved ones. No one is perfect. That’s just life. If he can’t accept that, he really is immature. He’s trying to run from reality, he will never find someone who doesn’t hurt him in some way unintentionally. Even if it’s something as simple as someone not being appreciative enough of something he did for them, if he’s hurt by it, he can’t avoid it. Feelings are a real thing we have to deal with and no one can be perfectly cognizant of another’s feelings at all times. Nor should we be altering all our behavior to make sure nothing we ever do could harm someone’s feeling. We should always be willing to find compromise and improve our behavior to try to not harm others, but what he expects is literally humanly impossible.

It should make you mad. He’s demanding the something impossible from you, a promise that you could never, ever accidentally hurt him in any way shape or form.

There’s definitely something to be said for stability. I use stable releases for all my server boxes.

Arch is fine for a gaming desktop or a desktop you don’t do actual, you know, work, on.

But for work or servers you need stability.

The highest levels detected violated the state of Washington’s limits

https://tamararubin.com/about/

Tamara Rubin is an internationally recognized, multiple federal award-winning Lead-poisoning prevention advocate, documentary filmmaker, and mother of four sons (ages 26, 20, 17, and 14). She took on the cause of childhood Lead poisoning and consumer goods safety advocacy after her sons were acutely Lead poisoned by the work of a painting contractor in 2005. Tamara lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and two youngest sons (who each have permanent disabilities from Lead exposure as infants).

She does this work specifically because it can cause permanent harm. Her family literally are victims of it.

Also, as the article notes, Washington State has much stricter standards than the Federal government.

weaning them off government assistance.

What a horrific way to state such a thing, and basically, fuck Florida for this anyway.

faith-based organizations

No seriously, fuck Florida.

I don’t know whether to be on the trolls’ side or not in this instance, because these people should just have access to their government assistance instead of this bullshit. I guess I’m not on their side though because getting in the way still hurts people in need. Ugh. Ugh. Fuck everything about all of this.
