Also, let’s be very clear about something.

Do you really think a billionaire, in control of all the resources and lives that implies, who is that dismissive and unconcerned about his own safety, hasn’t killed people before?

No seriously. This was a man who sat in board meetings and made the final call on business decisions and had more influence than most of us could evert in tens of thousands of years. He lobbied politicians. And he called safety pure waste, when it was protecting his own life.

There is no way he wasn’t directly responsible for compromising safety precautions which resulted in people dying.

No-fault divorce is actually very recent. That is, a divorce just because you wanted to get divorced and not because they were guilty of some provable transgression. California’s no-fault divorce law was 1966; the latest US state, it was 2010. When I was in Catholic school, we were taught to believe in and promote anti-no-fault-divorce positions. This is very recent history, and you cannot take even this for granted. Stop being “edgy” about feminism and its flaws. Every movement will have some flaws. But do you not think that this, and the risk it represents, is significant to women as a class of all backgrounds?

it’s literally as simple as “if you are against no-fault divorce, you believe that men should be able to own women like property”.

after this passes: “Why are marriage rates plummeting?”

After this passes: “What is with America’s young husbands and why are they dying so young?”

TIL “Yankee Doodle” was written by the British to mock americans. “Doodle” is thought to come from the German “dödel”, meaning “fool” or “simpleton” and “macaroni,” a flamboyantly stylish type of dress, painting the Yankees as morons who thought placing a feather in one’s cap made them a “dandy.”

via reddit.com

so you’re telling me that “stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni” would be like saying “wrote a G on his belt and called it gucci”

that’s…a pretty good analogy actually

US moron came to town

Hunting for some coochie

Wrote a G up on his belt

And this bitch called it Gucci

Seeing my notifications get flooded with this every July 4th is the only thing I respect about America

the thing about emacs and vi(m) is that they’re both immortal but in diametrically opposing ways

vi(m) is immortal in the nokia brick-phone sense. it’s got very few dependencies, it’ll survive a drop from a ten foot pole and it’s cooperative with like thirty year old technology. it’s fast and ergonomic and once armageddon comes you’ll shell into the flaming wreckage of a datacenter and edit configs with it. pure embodiment of the strength and certainty of steel

emacs, by contrast, is immortal in the shambling fleshbeast sense. its thousand thralls write beautiful evocations to pull domains you never could have wanted or imagined from its flesh. it grows cancerously to envelop any domain, any need you may want from it. you can tear out its heart and swap it, still-beating, for a new one. it embodies the ultimate desire to survive. it can send email

i think one of my favourite things about the Ankh-Morpork City Watch books is that “The Crime is not The Crime.”

Feet of Clay opens with a murder, but the Crime is the repression of sentient beings.

Jingo opens with an attempted assassination, but the Crime is conspiracy to commit mass murder (also known as war.)

Thud! opens with a conspiracy AND a murder, but the Crime is the the perpetuation of bigotry.

Night Watch opens with a murder, but the Crime is… well at that point the Crime is the injustice of the city.
