Late nineties to early two thousands on an arch-based distro is Ayanami Rei territory for sure

EDIT: could also be Serial Expeirments Lain or Major Kusanagi depending on your age and horniness in asking this question

Why is the mercury arc rectifier getting a “what the fuck”? I don’t know much about them, are they more magic than glowing rocks, runes, levitation and demon cores?

You should read Firefall, by Peter Watts.

In which they do do that, in a way that is simultaneously the most absurd you’ve ever read, and the most hard sci-fi credible. Mostly so they can hibernate iirc.

I’m not very big on life myself, but to me that’s only superficially what this is about. To me it seems the negative reaction you get is because “life is boring” is an expression of personal suffering first, and a judgment about an objective, intrinsic quality of the very concept of existence second. So you have to be careful when you want to argue that boredom is not an intrinsic quality of existence because you end up invalidating an expression of personal suffering, which is generally considered gauche.

Second, your arguments in favour of life not being boring generalizes conditions that may not be everyone’s. The ability to change jobs, move, find new friends, etc. is not necessarily universal. People who struggle with depression, in particular, may feel that your argument boils down to “pull yourself by your bootstraps”. People who are in situations of economic or social servitude will feel it comes from a situation of personal privilege.

I wouldn’t want to convince you that life is boring, it’s a good thing that you enjoy your existence, and the very fact that you enjoy it is a proof by example. That said, I think your approach to trying to make people find good in their own lives by convincing them sight unseen that their bad experience with it is their own fault is misguided.

It’s ok: you only get this value every two years. That way, even though it’s a decrease from the previous year you have actually no idea whether the figure is higher than two years before

I was also under the same impression, but it seems to have grown less clear?

In any case, Kirk enjoyers have never been known to let facts get in the way of their hate

Another way to look at it is “one can’t fuck children, because fucking implies consent so you should use the appropriate term which is rape”, which is what I believe they meant.

Merci pour Le fact-check

At a glance it even looks like an AI wrote the whole thing, doesn’t it?

EDIT: 3 posts in history, all with the same hollow Green LinkedIn vibe…

“Une graine dans le bocal piment” ?

Actually 157 out of 192 UN countries recognize the state of Palestine right now. When Crimea was invaded by Russia in 2014 and Israël had already been occupying parts of it illegaly for over 40 years, the count was 133. As soon as 1994, even before Netanyahu’s first tenure, there were more than half (96) UN member states recognizing the state of Palestine.

Most countries absolutely do and have recognized Palestine and the imperialism that goes on there is old as fuck. Yours maybe doesn’t, mine only switched this year as a mostly performative act. Source: even a passing glance at wikipedia

Unfortunately not. Quantum teleportation is an awful name: it’s called that way because it implies “destroying” a quantum state somewhere, and “recreating” it identically somewhere else, effectively transmitting information. However, the process also requires a classical information transfer at some point, and is absolutely not instantaneous . It’s only useful for cryptography because it’s mathematically impossible to listen in on this information being transferred without disturbing it.

It’s one of the most unfavorable coolness-of-name vs. coolness-of-actual-thing ratio in physics.

I don’t know about this Milhouse business, but he did have some very salient points: that time he gushed blood uncontrollably from his neck and died has raised serious doubt in my previously staunch anti-gun disposition. Now I have to manually remind myself that most gun violence victims are unfortunately not Charlie Kirk.

Maybe one of them performed their spell over the dark web, with bitcoin as sacrifice.

Tolerance is not an absolute principle, it’s just a social contract. People who breach it aren’t protected by it; end of paradox.

That and making, in what should be seen as the sole crowning jewel upon a veritable turdwagon of a life as a professional waste of carbon, the best argument in favor of gun violence since Brian Thompson

At least he died doing what he loved

TIL the French Novel/Memoir “Métaphysique des Tubes” (lit. metaphysics of tubes) by Amélie Nothomb was translated in English as “the Character of Rain”. Weird choice.
