    You have the same worldview and understanding of human sexuality of an 8 year old.

    Either your ridiculously naive or just straight up an idiot. Possibly both.

    Jesus fucking Christ. I’ve never read anything so dumb on the internet. And I saw Trump get elected. Twice.



  • This isn’t even about gaming, necessarily.

    Girls who code are rare. There are probably more AFAB coders at my work than those who identify as female. And a hell of a lot more men.

    And I’m in a progressive city in a progressive state.

    I work in IT, and I think there is one woman out of 50 employees on my corner of the org chart, and that’s the CIO’s admin assistant.

    I’m certain it’s culture, and it doesn’t just go for programming, it goes for almost all of STEM. There was a recent “Stuff You Should Know” episode about toy chemistry sets, and they made it a point to talk about the marketing, and how it always was with boys, for boys. My son, 8 year old kid, says “that’s just wrong! Girls can do all that stuff!”. He’s got it figured out.








  • F’real I think my kids have had maybe one snow day so far, and my oldest is in second grade. We live in southeast Mass.

    I thought about buying a new snowblower, but the fact is that I think we had maybe one storm in the past 5 or 6 years where I actually would’ve used my old one. The little dustings we had were easily cared for by a shovel.

    I also have a part of my driveway that has a lot of tree overhang and never really gets much snow on it. It also happens that the winter morning sun has a direct path to this patch of asphalt, so if we get only an inch or two, it’ll all melt away as soon as the sun comes up. Assuming it’s not too overcast.

    Up until a couple years ago I thought we were moving away from racism and classism and more towards a caste system.

    Turns out we actually are, races just have their own sub-castes.

    But ultimately there are really very few examples of individuals moving past the second or third tier on their own. Those that do are often flaunted as examples of the American Dream or whatever. Basically, hunger games.

    “leftists” just want their population to be fairly represented. The system that we have now gives significantly more power to people who live in the right places.

    These places are all away from densely populated areas (which are, coincidentally, the areas that are contributing the most to our GDP, also where the highest wages are and thus where the biggest chunk of taxes are collected)

    What we are well on our way to, is a tyranny of the minority, and you sound like you’re applauding it. As if that is somehow better for everyone than majority rule, or even the stalemate we have now.

    Yeah, we want a functional democracy where not everyone, but at least the majority, thinks the same way…and also runs under the direction of a majority. You know, like a democracy should.

    What we have now is a dysfunctional democracy…one which runs counter to what the majority are thinking.


  • I’d been meaning to try out atomic distros. I’m not an expert on Linux by any means but I’ve been using it on-and-off for about 25 years, and exclusively (at home, at least) for about 7. So I’m a bit more than a noob.

    I do worry if I’d feel restricted inside of an atomic distro. Might throw kininite on a laptop I’ve been meaning to give to my kid, tho.



  • He’s Peter Thiel’s plaything ever since he bankrolled his suit against Gawker.

    Fucking Thiel is set to take over the world. Him and his old buddies Musk and Zuck.

    It’s soooooo fucking obvious, too. These guys are legit the globalist elite that the conservatives have warned about for decades and they are fleecing them while they beg for more. How the fuck did we get here?
