Cowards, attacking the best politician America has been able to come up with for the last however many decades.

Definitely drink milk from the bottom of your bag though, that’s fine and normal.

When a piece of content that doesn’t allow downvotes, like a tweet, has lots more reposts than it does likes, the “ratio” is seen as proof the opinion was disagreed with, proportionally to the “ratio” itself.

That’s a great teacher. Refusing to teach a technology only leads to poor use. Even if one thinks it’s a poor technology, teach THAT instead of just black boxing the topic. The bottle is open, the genie is out. Better to teach how to make legally airtight wishes than to ban wishmaking.

I refuse to update.

True, but your savings on non-luxury bones helps with the fees associated with luxury ones, I’m sure. I can’t do anything for my bones with a $30 glowing petunia.

Bioluminescent house plants are cool but as an American I can tell you right now that my luxury bones hurt.

You clearly know more about this than I do, and you’ve thought a lot about it. Your points deserve a better response than I can give at this time, but I wanted to acknowledge that at least. I also wanted to say you aren’t pedantic and I’m sorry I said that. You spent time and thought on making a good conversation and I wish I had been more engaging with that instead of trying to be correct. Thank you for still conversing instead of arguing even after I was less than perfect of a conversation partner. I hope in the future I see more of your comments. Have a really nice day.

That was an interesting read. Thank you. You might make it a post of its own.

You’re right, you are being pedantic.

Edit: Actual response. You took time to type all that out, I should at least say why I disagree.

WINE is a compatibility layer. A translator. It helps a non-native language speaker speak the native language. The whole reason WINE exists is to make a non-native executable execute outside of its native environment. Even if the code is very functionally similar to something like .NET, the function of WINE is to enable non-native code to run as though it were designed for Linux. Downloading WINE doesn’t suddenly make those .EXE files be retroactively designed with Linux in mind. It’s still not native code.

Windows does what Nintendon’t? Wait, that’s not it…

That is correct, but a compatibility layer is also not native execution of a binary.

Wait, 11 tastes like goat barn and frankincense?

Natively run Windows software. Do I win?

I know Valve and others have done a lot of the legwork already, so maybe it won’t be so difficult for Apple to catch up, but it feels a little bit like Microsoft’s last attempt at making phones. It’s been a minute since the starting bell, the competition has the software catalog already, and it’ll cost the consumer more.

How would you like them to fund their providing you with this data?

Never knew I wanted this. I’ll add it to the list of cyborg enhancements I’d be okay with, like camera eyes, a thumb drive thumb and deployable roller skate feet.

I feel like that’s the official answer that they came up with to explain the differences in the settings between the films. It works, but only because there was a problem for it to fix.

That bothered me too. I binged them all before Fury Road and it was a real whiplash to go from “All the houses are smashed up, there’s bits of siding everywhere and everyone has guns” to “These people live their whole lives on stilts in a fetid swamp like some sort of crazy flamingo men, but that doesn’t matter right now, keep driving”. It seems like more time would have to pass.

I think he meant it’s wild we’ve been conditioned to not even think about government takeover of publicly funded assets. Like it still feels like the nuclear option even to Americans who believe they are socialists. Not that your comment was insufficient. I understand why you would feel defensive, the Internet can be a mean place.
