The alleged knife would be frozen, not dried. It would be much like the ice he was enclosed in

I love the way they evict themselves

I’d do it differently.

I would fund a massive advertising campaign preaching equality, fairness, and cooperation

I would use the tax system to weaken the cycle of intergenerational wealth (the ultra wealthy spend borrowed money which is settled by their estate on death; I would tax bequests to banks; I would tax inheritances above a pretty high limit.

It would take time. The aim would be to have a much more level wealth distribution

Australia heavily advertised multiculturalism and anti-racism during the '70s and '80s and then stopped. It seemed effective. We had one not very racist generation.

People noticed when the same story was reposted with different characters. The reposts got deleted

All the advice subs had a lot of fiction

https://old.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/16ovuaz/wibta_if_i_gave_my_wife_my_used_airpods_for_her/?sort=controversial

Genderswap reposts were common and generally got a little traction before being reported and deleted, so it’s plausible that it’s a real story

Not that I rank AITA as a font of true drama

I like that many of the people who should be banned here herd into instances that are defederated

Old Reddit + adblock + visiting a specific subreddit is hardly soul destroying

I wouldn’t browse my old Reddit feed, I would visit a few subs that don’t have representation here. All hobbies and interests.

So it’s big and diverse ecosystem with multiple standards to choose between

The problem isn’t that it’s missing something like cpan, it’s that there are ten incompatible ones to choose between

Remind me not to learn python. If I get into microcontrollers I shall use their C++ like language not micropython ;)

I really like the ability to dig up code from twenty years ago and just run it

Most bikes are stable and a cyclist can weight shift to turn gently without touching the handlebars

Mine is a recumbent that steers with long handlebars. The handlebars prevent the bike from balancing itself.

Yours might have barely stable geometry, or badly placed weight on the handlebars

Steering keeps you upright in the same way a broom handle balanced on your hand is kept up by moving you hand around

Gyroscopic effects are negligable

The worst is when the password manager (KeePass in this case) is in quick unlock mode in its default configuration “enter the last four characters of your password”

Me: like I can remember how my password ends. Just let me type the whole thing

How do you then activate cruise control for cool?

Working from home, connecting to a VM, you can use a password manager on your machine to log into the VM

And your home machine can be always logged on, or fingerprint unlock, or USB stick unlock or whatever

I had a boring job years ago. We didn’t have web access in the office, we did have a typing tutor program

I could already type

So I decided to learn to type again

So now I type on a dvorak layout except for the first login where I must use qwerty. About the time the password expires and must be changed I get to the point where it’s muscle memory in both layouts

Only if they want to be fucked

It is. The red is above the ducks which is above the fucks

I’m fairly sure I read that in high school. I took it as the man haunted by his own conscience, not at all traumatizing

Maybe I was older than the kids who were upset by it

My cousin was a teacher during COVID, working in rural Australia.

There wasn’t enough internet there for video, there was barely enough for email. So he was driving to a different student’s house each day and teaching one kid at a time

I think he was only responsible for a handful of kids

That was the busiest time at work for me, I work in government information technology and my team was delivering a system to help businesses keep paying their locked down at home staff. We had to work in the office, in a place designed to hold a thousand people, but only twenty of us were there, until we were enabled to work from home

COVID was worse than any fiction I ever read. So many people died. So many people live-blogged their own deaths
