But no girls or nonbinary folks.

I appreciate your answer very much, I was just trying to understand the age part of the meme.

That’s funny, me too! I switched to Mandrake or Mandriva. I liked Ubuntu (Kubuntu specifically), and never had any crash issues, but I wound up going to gNewSense and then Trisquel when those came out.

Is the implication that this was for someone who was a kid growing up then? Or just that this was a prominent memory of an older teen? Something else?

I’m not saying there aren’t some lunatics in Texas, but I don’t think the majority wants these traitors.

I feel so bad for normal decent Texans. Their politicians are among the worst in the world. I can’t think of a single Texas Republican who doesn’t deserve the death penalty.

It is a writing convention to place a comma before a quotation.

Not quite. PBS is not owned by the state and is not a state media apparatus. It does receive some government funding.

It’s a public broadcast service in the US. See more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBS

That’s the only reason I upvoted this!

It’s a shame you have any upvotes at all. It’s a moral and ethical imperative to lie on your resume. Evening the playing field is not fraud. Your cutesy dismissive retort is inappropriate because corporations have all of the power, turning job hunting into a totally atomized activity. The recruitment process is fraudulent, not the attempt to remedy it.

I meant from the perspective of a rational person who cares about health, not an idiot that deserves to have its head chopped off in a guillotine.

Obviously we should have bigger radiology machines. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to have them where you have a substantial fat population.

1000% my first thought. These nutjobs who say “just get some fresh air” are coasting upon the millions of dead and buried who paid the price for us to have longer healthier lives. Strict stringent food safety. Mandatory vaccines without exemptions.

It does not surprise me in the slightest that you are incapable of understanding my comments. You’re a run-of-the-mill reddit level intellect, and you all read from the same playbook and make the same comments to me. Always the same two or three things: you’re upset, you’re young, this is personal. It does get tedious, but I enjoy talking shit to stupid people, so I thank you for the opportunity.

Speaking of which, that is what I am doing—talking shit. I’m not angry or upset or animated or anything. Vitriolic, yes; passionate, not even close to overdose. When a bottom of the barrel has zero intellectual curiosity and refuses to engage with its superior in a reasonable manner, I hurl the good stuff at you. I’m glad you find it amusing and intriguing.

Furtherless, this is not inconsequential. It’s representative of the false STEM superiority that pervades and diminishes decent people’s lives. y = mx + b, I’m a fucking genius. As I already said, there is absolutely no question that this stupid meme is intended to be funny. It’s turning the frogs gay? Yeah, just a straightforward presentation of facts. Sure, son.

Unlike you, I never heard of this when I was a kid. It wasn’t until long after I took chemistry in high school and college that I ever even heard of it. But that’s meaningless. What bothers me is unearned superiority, not personal grievance. The way to combat chemophobia is to explain chemicals to people and implement programs of intellectual self defense, not to mock them for falling for idiotic trickery.

If the “humor” is derived from condescension and superiority, which it clearly is here, then I evaluate it as low intelligence. I couldn’t care less if anyone agrees with me about that, but it is directly related because stupidity is a choice and based on how you treat others. The type of person who is amused by tricking their intellectual superiors is a bottom of the barrel worthless dumbfuck masquerading as an intelligent person.

As long as tech nerds can learn to be decent human beings, platforms can be awesome with them on it.
