I’d give it at least a few days. Updates haven’t broken anything major for me before, but have had to troubleshoot some annoying issues in my DE and having others posting about the same issue does make it easier.

I bet Putin does have those pictures of Trump blowing Bubba.

So sorry

Paperless-ngx?

At least he gets to hang up his Prince poster.

BABALITY

I wouldn’t know what you need to know. But based on what you mentioned here, it doesn’t sound like you’re going through a spiritual awakening. It’s very much an embodied, not an intellectual experience. Here’s an excerpt from Alan Watts’ autobiography describing it:

It was in the autumn of 1932—windy, with fallen leaves skittering along roads and fields—and I was trying desperately to work out this problem: What is THE EXPERIENCE which these Oriental masters are talking about? The different ideas of it which I had in mind seemed to be approaching me like little dogs wanting to be petted, and suddenly I shouted at all of them to go away. I annihilated and bawled out every theory and concept of what should be my properly spiritual state of mind, or of what should be meant by ME. And instantly my weight vanished. I owned nothing. All hang-ups disappeared. I walked on air.

Have you considered telling them that their behavior is making you uncomfortable?

Is it powerful enough to hack time though?

Maybe so. This latest batch ended up deleting 2300 comments, so unfortunately not very practical to do by hand.

That is… disappointing. Seems like next time they resurrect my comments, the best thing to do is to replace the content with phrases generated by an LLM. Let the Ouroboros eat its own tail.

Some interesting tidbits from Wikipedia:

Activity that could be called colonialism has a long history, starting at least as early as the ancient Egyptians. Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans founded colonies in antiquity. Phoenicia had an enterprising maritime trading-culture that spread across the Mediterranean from 1550 BC to 300 BC; later the Persian Empire and various Greek city-states continued on this line of setting up colonies. The Romans would soon follow, setting up coloniae throughout the Mediterranean, in North Africa, and in Western Asia.

The Japanese colonial empire began in the mid-19th century with the settler colonization of Hokkaido and the destruction of the island’s indigenous Ainu people before moving onto the Ryukyu Islands (the indigenous Ryukyuan people survived colonization more intact). After the Meiji Restoration, Japan more formally developed its colonial policies with the help of European advisors. The stated purpose from the beginning was to compensate for the lack of resources on the main islands of Japan by securing control over natural resources in Asia for its own economic development and industrialization, not unlike its European counterparts. Japan defeated China in the First Sino-Japanese War to control Korea and the island of Formosa, now Taiwan, and later fought off the Russian Empire to control Port Arthur and South Sakhalin.

While colonies of contiguous empires have been historically excluded, they can be seen as colonies. Contemporary expansion of colonies is seen by some in case of Russian imperialism and Chinese imperialism. There is also ongoing debate in academia about Zionism as settler colonialism.

Of course, historical facts rarely matter when it comes to rhetoric like this.

Started dating a girl who liked it when I grew it out… so haven’t cut it just about ten years. She’s gone, but the hair stayed. I never found a barber who could consistently cut it the way I liked, so the only alternative I could see is regularly buzzing everything off.

Love nushell. It’s just about the most practical functional programming language I’ve ever had the pleasure of using.

I’m using fish as my default shell since it’s more standards-compliant and plays nicer with tools that modify your environment. But any time I need to do more complicated shell scripting, I’m breaking out nushell.

For the most part, when you participate in any social interaction, people will have ready-made roles laid out for all the participants. These roles consist of an unspoken list of dos and don’ts that are absorbed through cultural osmosis to the point that they become social norms. This is all quite subconscious, and when questioned about it, most of us will either reject that they’re engaged in this or answer something vague to make the question go away.

When someone shows up that doesn’t quite seem to catch on to the game, many people tend to get uncomfortable. If there’s someone who isn’t acting their part, they’re no longer sure what to do themselves. They feel threatened and shitty behavior ensues to enforce the status quo. So yes, mostly people are performing a role in order to fit in, even if they don’t realize they’re doing it.

On the plus side, when you meet someone who doesn’t expect you to perform a role to meet their demands, it’s pretty freakin’ sweet.

life entails inevitable suffering, death is inevitable, and humans are born without their consent

Doesn’t that apply to all living beings? Wouldn’t that mean that the morally correct thing to do is to prevent all organisms from procreating, as it inevitably leads to more suffering?
