But no right of exit.....

Well we have always been at war with Eastasia you know.

Really needs to be a wikipedia style service for academic papers.

Hey now I'm not that ancient, I was listening to Amish Paradice in high school, but I am getting to the age where I need to schedule a colonoscopy.....

Yep, everyone has different tastes. And that's accepted here, that's just another reason I like Lemmy better. On reddit movie subs, if you don't agree with the hivemind, your downvoted, every reply will explain in detail why your wrong, and if you say something really offensive like "I hated Freddy Got Fingered" redditors will go through your history an downvote everything and make comments on other threads.....yeah that last one only happened once but it was enough to make me not comment again.

I feel happy!

It's funny, I really didn't like the movie and didn't watch the first two seasons of the show until a friend had it on and I enjoyed it and only then did I go back and watch from the beginning. Tried the movie again and still didn't like it.

Wellington....I gave up half way through the first season.

TIL I still need to schedule that colonoscopy

ZorinOS is a decent stepping stone for those coming from windows. It was my first Linux daily driver when I made the switch. It got me comfortable enough with Linux to dive in and start learning before I started distro hopping. I ended up on Mint and now just recommend that, but Zorin got me over the hump to become a full time Linux user.

Might be fun to make a live USB and see how much it's changed in the last ten years. I've got a 4 day weekend coming up.... might have to try that.

I remember watching that episode as a little kid and thinking how I would love to be connected to a super computer like that. Then I got older and learned about the idea of putting a brain in a computer and thought that would be better. Recently I listened to the Bobivers and now I think I've found my dream, digitize my brain, load it onto a super computer, load that on a von Neumann ship, and shoot me into deep space far away from humanity.

I've always felt like I don't belong, hell if I hit the lottery I'd buy a missile silo or something and turn it into a home. Not because I'd be paranoid, I'd take steps to make sure no one knew I won, no because I want to be cut off from people as much as possible.

The only people who would get mad about telling the troops to refuse illegal orders, are the people who plan to issue illegal orders.

This post literally made me yawn. Not because it's bad either.
