It is high in crowtein.

Haha, Don’t offer people windows 11 , even in jest. It’s clearly the opposite of “being excellent” to them ( rule 3).

Gotta love mods.

Who is this mythical average user I keep hearing about?

I’ve never had a problem forcing people at work - even those with very limited IT knowledge - to run things from cli in windows.

For years in one place I worked the IT support first line solution was to tell all users to force a gp update from the windows cli. They’d point to a nice little how to guide with screenshots and everything. I don’t know if any of the thousands of people working there were the all important average user either though, probably not.

Plausible, these AI learned from typical human garbage not from actual study.

north east England, i’m not sure how far it spreads.

We’d say “neb oot”.

Neb being nose.

Sounds like some deliberately obscure concentrations of power.

The fear bit is really problematic though as scared people are not ideal decision makers.

There’s been investment bubbles, overshooting and disingenuous rent seeking in many economies before. It was temporarily reduced in many western economies by various FDR type policies in the '30s-'60s. The '70s and '80s were just the banks wresting back their freedom to implement market “rationality”. And we get the benefits ever since.

People do keep voting for it though so it is hard to argue they’re not satisfied. Even the ones who protest vote don’t seem to see the “investment” markets as any part of the problem; or as important at all. That’s either some pretty effective demagoguery, or some dumb fucking electorate.

Or just become a bartender.

I read somewhere that they have some rule like you can’t put “not food” inside “food”.

Probably a reasonable rule in many cases. Maybe they should put a tiny hole in it and argue that the “shell” is mathematically a single plane with the ‘inside’ being between the inner and outer face.

It’s not a jolk if someone has to explain it.

That is tolerable, so long as they don’t besmirch the “btw”.

They could also say summit like: " i am a colossal doric"

The “btw” is insincere if they didn’t do it manually, they should be prohibited from using it.

Arch’s tag to neatly summarise the aloof snobbery must be preserved. If archintall script users can say it; how long until “I use manjaro btw”, or “i use endeavouros btw”. At which point it just has no value - I don’t believe these people are genuinely considering themselves superior to other users - as reflected in several other comments here.

Archinstall script should be modified to install a keylogger that will bork the system if ever “arch btw” is detected.

I think you drew flat moon at the wrong angle though, it always faces square on to flat earth.

Yes I think i tended towards the latter view because I just don’t see much real world action or organising going on here.

But some of the stuff posted does seem a bit sus - it’s almost a caricature. Even quite radical people usually have some ability to reason or engage in moderate discussion.

I guess it doesn’t cost law enforcement much to keep an eye on this, and I’m sure lots of the terms used will flag in their webcrawlers and such.

A few spooks and a few bots can probably do quite a lot across a lot of different social media so really not hard for them to have some presence here for minimal effort.

There’s a fair history of security services acting as agents provocateur infiltrating socialist and trade union movements to split them apart get evidence or ‘intel’ to imprison leaders. Certainly in the UK that was a part of their union busting tactics. So it is something to be aware of.

I’m not sure that is what is happening on here though. I’m also not sure if that’s what OP was referring to.

I don’t think magic is objective; I think it is in the eye of the beholder.

If the audience don’t understand it, or can be distracted from seeing the truth of it, it’s magic or a miracle or whatever to them. And the magician - if they know what they’re doing - can wield power over the rubes.

So before you understand - say, magnetism - better, lodestones can be seen as magical or heaven-sent.

There’ll be physical phenomena today like ‘spooky action at a distance’ or something where even quite learned observers might not 100% know the laws of physics. Some exploit of that can appear as magical until the laws are figured out and well communicated.

If it turns out that the underlying laws are stochastic rather than deterministic, then there’s always going to be some grey areas i think.

Michealwaves have like 200 times more michaelfarads of capacity.

I don’t post actual threads, but my most downvoted comment was this one that I’m quite proud of:

Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.

Ubuntu is way better.

So yeah, I’d recommend OP baits linuxmemes. I think it has more users, more touchy, less sense of humour. But you’re also less likely to get your post banned in a memes forum.

Did you try asking “Will you please downvote this?” in “nostupidquestions”.

I don’t think it’ll beat ragebait though.
