Roofman is released (the remake starring Roman Christou, not the dude it’s about)

Thanks!

I’m definitely arguing against standard rules then 🙄

However, I’d say generally people write “Good morning John, please do this boring thing from last week”, instead of “Good morning, John, please do this thing”.

Honestly I’m not sure if I’m critiquing widely accepted English grammar because it seems kinda like the serial comma (some use, some don’t), but I don’t know the name for it.

The NY Times piece on commas doesn’t cite any sources and gives examples with and without based on Byzantine rules I highly doubt anyone follows, and the OWL doesn’t seem to cover this specifically.

So… any idea what this particular type of comma is called that I’m wrong about but would like to persuade others that I should be right?

That comma is unnecessary and introduces ambiguity to the sentence, which is the opposite of what commas are supposed to do.

For example, who is the dumbass?:

Have a good weekend dumbass!

Have a good week, dumbass!

Have a good week,

Dumbass!

Who is Carol?!? The addressed, or the addressee? (I’m not actually an English expert so may be wildly incorrect)

This is a hilarious example of how in some cases social commentary cannot be obvious enough.

If your unit of measurement is 1 Asia coastline, all others would be some changing fraction thereof. Mathematical equation paradox maybe but hardly over that disproves the answer.

because I have to use my school’s docx template.

For a thesis. wtf.

But giving away grain to peasants is why the entire empire fell to ruin! Letting people starve is the most humane way of reducing hunger in the long run, it just takes strong leadership to do what most be done. Really, it’ll be faster, easier, and cheaper (which is by definition better for everyone) if we help accelerate things. Which will be the next bit of societal tough love that Crowder will be taking the high road on.

And hoarding billionaires ruin everything for everyone. Class warfare, not generation.

Any chance you have a link or transcript?

It’s a good example of relatively “real” science fiction but doesn’t start normal, pretty much sets the tone and sticks with it. Some reveals come but it’s now in the vein of mystery.

Sure you can. Just, you know, don’t need therapy.

Yeah, this entire comic is somewhere between the giant dog and fat lasagna cat approach to the topic.

Someone needs to liberate that oil.

But if it isn’t dependant on the command line is it really Linux?

(This is an awesome project, thanks for sharing)

Something like 4 minutes of my 25 minute commute is through trees, and it still makes a big difference. I think you’re on to something.

Part of why I still hate it at work; work knows almost everything about me. People with poor understanding of PII have my personal information, and use MS products. Microsoft knows all of that, and everything that I type, the notes I make, the phrases I use, inferences on my interests, and can combine that with other profiles. It helps put together a much more complete picture and profile of me and why I interface with. And I can’t opt out, can’t use Linux, and can’t just go somewhere else to avoid it.

Given the context of discussion, not really talking about art, more the trajectory of IT corporations since tech bubble crash. Even that, thankfully, is somewhat hyperbole given Linux and other open software movements and projects.

The online independent art platforms are also facing a lot of pressure in that direction too, between AI and corporate consolidation and fuck up of things like Etsy and patreon. They are trying very hard to control all “consumption”.

Im another 10 or 15 years we’re going to be trying to explain how it was possible to create things just for enjoyment to be part of something, and people will think we’re conspiracy wack jobs for suggesting anything was functional before Googazon made everything we interact with.
