Nice. Thanks!

Oh man… I can’t believe I missed that origin. Yeah… You’re absolutely right about that.

Holy shit… I had no clue that wincompose exists. For years, I’ve wanted exactly this. I’m so glad that someone had the same idea, skill, and time to create this. Thank you for sharing!

Loosely quoting IF Stone, If you can remember two words, governments lie. If you can remember three words, all governments lie.

For anyone interested, here is the article. You can read for yourself how Lenin builds an argument that differentiates personal dictatorship from class dictatorship and how an ademocratic dictatorship is different from a socialist dictatorship.

There’s no way you can read this article and believe he is arguing fora personal dictatorship or a minority class dictatorship against the will of the majority. But since this quote is only compelling without context or without realizing it doesn’t actually mention the proletariat, here’s another, better contextualized quote that is far more aligned with the theoretical arguments in the text.

The point is, however, that there is the dictatorship of a minority over the majority, the dictatorship of a handful of police officials over the people; and there is the dictatorship of the overwhelming majority of the people over a handful of tyrants, robbers and usurpers of the people’s power. (Emphasis added)

This is what Lenin meant.

How did they verify the details according to the articles?

Fucktards be making fuck all the way to the parking lot.

Alikeard if you ask me.

Aren’t business expenses normally filed under schedule C if youre a sole owner?

In this case, both attacks were verified by the same means: video and Google maps.

Agreed. I think a lot of the people talking about how they are self taught are working in tech and software and they were hire twenty years ago or more. (Can’t wait till someone sounds off about how they got hired nine years ago).

Most other technical jobs are in far more mature fields. College may expose you to ideal situations that overconstrain your ability to get the job done in a corporate setting, but it still exposed you to a set of problems you don’t have access to otherwise. Mainly because these industries are in communication with the deans of these colleges and giving them feedback on what they need to see more of.

It is way too common to confuse the abstractions we use to understand reality with reality itself. Like the scientists who work with this stuff are really consistent in keeping the two separated

I wish this was true. I remember seeing a physicist talking about how the laws of physics are mathematical in nature and that the laws of physics needed to exist before the universe do the universe is made of math. I don’t think the vast majority of physicists have a philosophical grounding for the types of ontological claims they make. Even less so since “shut up and calculate” became the professional axiom.

This one really got me.

We’ve streaky… The rains finally came, but they were gone for so long that I was worrying a bit about fire seasons. Still am honestly.

Its raining in Oregon. We’ll see the sun in July… Hopefully.

I witnessed a right turn from the left lane in utah. Except the street was 4 lanes wide.

But I’m right and they are wrong on this particularly trivial topic. I need to feel like I did everything in my power to make sure they know how wrong they are.

I normally walk into the store and try to hold my groceries with my two stupid hands. I was just getting a few things. And the a few more. Then I schlep around the store cursing the god that didn’t make me an octopus.
