    In Johnny Cash’s “Live from Folsom Prison” album there is a song called ‘cocaine blues’. The first verse goes like this:

    early one morning while making the rounds

    I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down

    I went right home and I went to bed

    I stuck that loving forty-four beneath my head.

    I keep this in my back pocket when conservatives claim that Rap and Hip Hop glorify violence, guns, misogyny, and drug use. I defy you to find something from NAS or Killer Mike that can compete on the level of classic country.


  • OK, but the logical comparison here is not the OS on Switch, Xbox, PlayStation or any generic handheld, it’s to SteamOS, where Windows struggles to compete.

    Like everyone else who “chooses” Windows, ROG has surrendered to what’s the default. Never mind that Windows has spent decades to position themselves that way through incentive, obstacle, and plain old coercion.

    I don’t expect you to care about Microsoft’s business practices, but you ought to care that they didn’t achieve or maintain their market position by creating good software or giving a tiny shit about user freedom.


  • What men are afraid of is being gay. Sexuality research suggests that sexual preference is a spectrum, not a binary. So it’s common to have same sex attractions. Our culture will instill that being gay is the worst, before you even know what gay is. It’s also shockingly common for boys to be sexually victimized.

    Many men question their sexuality. Now add in the nonsense of reactionary gender rolls with strict and rigid religious dogma and it’s no wonder. Being anti-gay is loudly signaling no-homo to the world.

    This also explains why closeted gay reactionaries are the most zealous inquisitors. From their puzzle-piece perspective, indulging in gay sex is like openly committing a felony and getting away with it. Of course they hate the openly queer.

    Expiration dates on salt and water are funny and all, but expiration dates exist because capitalists would disguise spoiled food to maximize profit. And it takes an enforcement regime to make them care about their customer’s health. Wasted food is still preferable to wasted life.

    These regulations didn’t fall out of a coconut tree.

    GIMP is not low effort. If you can ‘quickly assemble’ memes, it’s because of previous effort. (I’m studying to be someone who can quickly assemble memes in GIMP)

    That program has a unique UI philosophy. Does it resemble Photoshop? I’ve never used that.

    I wish I could read complete Aeschylus plays, but the loss of the Library of Alexandria was only the terminus for great ideas, culture, and mathematics if you ignore the existence of ancient writings of the East. Some of the best ideas were absent from that library before it caught fire.


  • Don’t you understand that being constantly nagged to use their products so they can monotise you is disrespectful? Would you keep a friend who started every conversation with a pitch for their MLM? I mean you’re not obligated!

    I understand that it’s just business, but to me that’s just capitalist Nirenberg defense. So please don’t respond with some version of “it is what it is”, because I view that as learned helplessness.

    EDIT: what Windows users might not get is that booting into Windows occasionally means that it’s going to bombard you with an avalanche of pop ups and nag-dialogues that a person who’s logging in every day might not appreciate.

    Sure you can silence most of that, until the next necessary security update.

    I used to have a lv. 1 character who had end-game equipment and spells to grief in Dark Souls. Once, after wrecking someone, I get a DM with language so fowl and awkward I was sure it was a young teen boy.

    I replied: sorry, I’m new and this is my boyfriends account, am I playing wrong?
