I don’t know what the point of separate partitions for OS and userspace is, but whatevs…
Some folks like to be able to reinstall the OS while preserving /home. That’s the only reason I’ve seen for doing separate partitions. (I’m not someone who does that, but it’s the explanation I’ve seen)
You can only become a better writer by writing. Also your friend should be more supportive. Lastly, I’m sure a story like that will have no problem finding an audience.
Given the number of times the, er, woke side of things gets blamed for terminology, I think it communicates the sentiment perfectly. When we try using very specific terms like white privilege or toxic masculinity , a great many people obtusely (intentionally in many cases I think) find those terms confusing or assume they mean something different than they do.
You hear “no one is illegal on stolen land” and you know exactly what they are trying to say. Anything more complicated would be too long or end up trying to be specific in a way that would confuse things, IMO.
The question you have to ask yourself, though, is this: Do I want to scold white people for their privilege, or do I want to get them on my side to fix it? In my experience, rubbing their noses in it is going to set people’s minds against you.
I think you are making the same mistake they do. You can’t very well get someone to help fix a problem if you don’t let them know the problem exists. Just discussing or explaining white privilege isn’t the same as scolding someone about it. The folks who take it that way are going to take it that way no matter what terms we use, because they don’t want to admit it exists.
I read the headline and thought “this should go in nottheonion.” Imagine my surprise… :D
The only way the dems could fuck this up is if they run on centrist bullshit chasing republican votes, again.
I wish I had any confidence that they learned their lesson after trying that with Kamala. However, I have none.
I’m partial to this version:
while liking the old version seems like a uniquely old man thing to do, just hating change for being change
Gnome 3 was a huge paradigm shift. Most people who noped out of Gnome afterwards disliked very specific things about it, not just hating change for being change. This is a really dismissive and kind of insulting take.
I’ve been using Linux for twenty years. I didn’t use KDE until they declared Plasma 5 ready for primetime. (I hated Plasma 4, and didn’t like the look and feel of KDE 3.5 at all)
Since hopping on with Plasma 5 I have absolutely no interest in anything else. I love KDE Plasma and it just keeps getting better.
That’s me in OP.
There’s an embedded video in the article that starts right at the end of the water test so you then get to see all the broken things that the driver calmly shows us.
Yep somehow I did. I knew it had to be something like that.
I’d live the rest of my life with just a little more spring in my step knowing death wasn’t the end.
I was hoping it was something like that. I must have just missed it somehow.
I’ve never been in one, but family brought home some of their “beaver nuggets” and I really couldn’t believe how disgustingly delicious they were. Basically they are big crunchy sugary things that taste a lot like plain Capn’ Crunch, but they go down by the handful way to easily.
A friend told me if you want to be really decadent you can eat them in a bowl with some milk like breakfast cereal.
They also brought me some of the fudge, but I was less impressed with that.
Are there still more than like 5 people trying to make Latinx a thing? I thought that one kind of died out early on, but I’m not a member of that community.
