I can't help you, but there's an issue with your formatting so the code won't show. You need the apostrophes on the same line, for the "format as code" things to work.

$names = cat "\path\to\names.txt"; $i=0; dir | % { ren $_ "$($names[$i]).pdf"}

It's not that I am concerned that the "fuckheads" will be offended or hurt by your language. It'll be people like my sister-in-law with downs, who hear/see those words and she'll feel awful about herself for a few days.

The people downvoting you might not be the gun fetishist you imagine, they might just not like the language you use.

fully aware that this is a US instance

It's not, it was created in the Netherlands.

you gun retards
spastic

We stopped saying "retard" a couple of decades ago, and depending on where you are in the world, "spastic" also isn't used anymore.

They can't be fantastic, they are sweet pickles.

For those unaware, this isn't something like replacing a slur with removed, he edited users' comments, turning them into insults to other users.

I don't care that those original commenters were (likely) pieces of shit, and the people who he made the comments insult were definitely pieces of shit, putting words into people's mouths to make them fight each other is unforgivable. Even if you put out a shitty apology.

It's another way to say "radio waves", so when people actually listened to the radio it was a true statement.

Now it's podcasts.

The last time this comic was posted, it was removed.

The artist of the comic, Stonetoss, is a nazi. The "hero" of the comic is the robot, and this is designed to make us sympathize with robot-hitler.

The biggest weakness is multiplayer games with aggressive anti-cheat. So those are the types of games you play, continue to stay away from Linux.

But for most games on Linux, it is just install and play now through a platform like Steam. I haven't run into a game that I want to play that doesn't basically "just work".

I would say that most people who own a computer use local apps, and that the experience, and long-term costs, of using a local program is often better than doing something completely cloud-based.

They use data from webtraffic to make their charts, so talking about local apps doesn't really have much to do with this website.

The story is made up, pointing to government agencies and police forces focusing on the wrong things.

The Beaverton is a satire website.

 

Six Feet Under

 

If you just look up the name of the song, many sites will now prompt anti-self harm messages instead of showing you results.

 
 
 
 

Both bands have umlauts in their names, solely for stylistic reasons

"Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes"

 

I mean, this is the same Trinity Western that wasn't allowed to open up a law school because they are garbage, right?

They only started to consider dropping their homophobic ways after their law school bid was rejected.

It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman."

While that rule effectively bars anyone who is unmarried from having sexual relations, it's the reference to "man and a woman" that is considered discriminatory against LGBT people. Same-sex marriage became legal in Canada in 2005.

And Janet, get real. Not being allowed to open a law school because you discriminate against others, doesn't count as a loss in diversity.

Janet Epp Buckingham, a TWU professor who helped develop the law school proposal, said she was saddened by the ruling.

"We feel that this is a loss for diversity in Canada"

Edit: It looks they stopped making students promise to be straight in 2018, but they didn't drop it for the staff.

 

The previous song was Imagine dragons, a band that is generally considered unwanted.
