Yeah, my house is completely linux except for one windows machine. I need to be able to open other people’s Adobe files for editing, and that’s just not reliable outside of windows/mac.

But, if I was only working on my stuff and didn’t have to integrate into outside workflows, I wouldn’t be so adverse to switching to GIMP or Krita.

I say “thank you, I try” and blow them a flirty kiss.

Hey, burnt offerings were made to the gods of old, right?

Drives me insane. Like, you mother fuckers aren’t here to get a grade, you’re here to learn this shit so you know what to do when you see it in whatever hospital hires your dumb ass.

This is happening because the job market is absolutely fucked. Students are under the impression that grades are what will drive job prospects, because nobody is hiring on merit any more.

My SIL has been a nurse in the cardiac surgery department for nearly a decade, and even her hospital is now using AI to screen potential new hires.

We’re so cooked.

Yeah, I agree that the attempt to engage is the most important aspect. What actually constitutes “engagement” is up to semantic debate.

I do think that new arguments should be evaluated, even if it’s presented in bad faith. I feel that the bad faith nature of the argument is a factor that counts poorly in my evaluation, but it’s good to have a solid understanding of the nuance in your stance, even when it comes to the ridiculous.

But by your own admittance, you did think about it once the question was posed, so no, you’re not an intellectual nepobaby.

We have all had past experiences with how hard brick-adjacent substances affect teeth, so it’s not discarding it as a knee-jerk reaction. If you went to a dental college, and the professor made the claim before you knew better, I’d assume you’d be interested in finding out how he came to that conclusion, correct?

For example, should I engage in the “challenging idea” that the world is run by lizard people?

As a counterpoint, you likely have. You’re aware of the position, aware of the proposed evidence, and determined the evidence falls short of proof, which means you’ve engaged with their thinking before rejecting it.

I strongly suspect that this sort of thing is done as a gradual rollout to gauge response. You may have just been lucky enough to avoid being sorted into a test group.

I’m not going to show you my ID, but I can hold an extensive conversation with you about Gaia Online, which should prove my age quite well.

Huh, I could have sworn it said MrNiceGuy a minute ago

I bet we could convince the lemon stealing whores to join the lemon party.

That’s good then. A lot of stuff uses the standard numberpad.

The thing with pattern unlock is that it is inherently less secure than the other options

Does Graphene scramble the keypad between PIN entries? If not, it’s functionally the same as a pattern unlock.

Out of all the displays in the house, there’s only one 4k computer monitor. The dumb tv is a 1080p, my other monitor is a 720p, then my partner has a DVI and a VGA monitor for his computer.

Yeah, because fuck people with bad eyesight amirite.

Is this why they call big boom sticks cannons?

Where I’m at in the NW US, the icy pellets are called ‘graupel’, the slushy snow/rain is “sleet”. Sometimes the weather guys call it “wintry mix” but I haven’t heard it outside that.

Ugh. That’s the best option I’ve been able to find, but I really don’t trust Amazon to not just immediately roll over for the feds.

Where do you livestream? I’m trying to find a service that isn’t shit.

Could you imagine if, idk Paramount or whoever, started releasing exclusively through Blockbuster?
