Problem is, all it does is push them in the wrong direction. My father went from “I don’t care about any of this shit” to “what the fuck do you mean I can’t go on my quarterly golf trip??” and on to “Bill Gates murders Indian children with vaccines and also have you heard about RFK Jr?”

Fuck Facebook man…

Exactly. My family is like “why does this bother you so much? You have a good job, a house a family, great holidays! All of this doesn’t affect you at all!”

“Well yeah, I guess I could just ignore that the world is going to shit and that people less lucky than me are suffering through all of it…”

Tu as raison, après ça me fait penser à The Wire et consorts où les dealers comme les flics parlent de “civils” pour désigner les gens extérieurs au game, et considèrent comme assez trivial de tuer un membre d’une bande rivale, alors qu’un civil c’est bcp plus grave voire tabou.

I can work at my desk using only my laptop. Do I want to, and is it my actual setup? No, and no. My laptop is plugged into my ultra wide screen, my mechanical keyboard and my mouse. That’s what he meant, and that’s what I found interesting.

J’ai pas mal d’amis qui utilisent exclusivement de l’eau en bouteille malheureusement. Le marketing y est sans doute pour bcp, mais leur argument c’est que psychologiquement ils ne peuvent pas boire de l’eau dans laquelle quelqu’un a potentiellement fait caca. Peu importe les arguments que je leur oppose, c’est un peu comme tenter d’expliquer à un arachnophobe que l’“énorme araignée” dans sa cuisine est inoffensive et pas si énorme que ça…

Et aussi les (descendants d’)immigrés de mon entourage se méfient de l’eau courante vu qu’elle n’est pas potable au bled.

Yeah, if an app posts any kind of notification it definitely needs background usage permission.

Well yeah, “they” being the VP of the FN :)

Here you go. My translation of the email :

During the upcoming years we will only make it if we make substantial savings thanks to the European parliament, and if we manage to get additional subsidies.

It’s just not a bookkeeping error, there are internal emails where they state that they wouldn’t be able to keep the lights on without paying their staff with our taxes.

This is the Thought Police, brought to you by the people who invoke 1984 when their putrid opinions get called out on the internet.

To be fair, I’m not sure what Obama did to deserve this…

Yeah that’s a nice reaction, the other dude wasn’t being a jerk so no need to make him feel bad about it.

Empathy, like tolerance, should really be considered a social contract. If he doesn’t have empathy for the less fortunate than him, I have a really hard time having empathy for him.

Nah, he (and Trump) will say we’re being unreasonable and he’s bombing Ukrainian children because of us.

Ouais moi je psychote dès que SUV devant moi accélère et balance des particules fines direct dans les bronches de mes gosses, ça se passe comment pour mon chèque ?

Ben apparemment il se vante auprès de membres du gouvernement d’armer illégalement ses sbires, donc ouais j’y crois moyen.

In this day and age I’d recommend against pirating your OS. How can you be sure the hack you’re using is legit? And that MS won’t cut off your access to security updates in the future?

That’s great! It requires a bit of research and adjustment but it’s well worth it.

If you’re using Windows, you’ve paid for it one way or another.

There’s a conspiracy theory going around that the music industry execs colluded to heavily promote gangsta rap over social-conscious rap during the 90’s, so that young black people would turn to a life of crime and fill up prisons, as they had recently invested in the nascent private prison industry.

The only “proofs” are anonymous testimonies by self-described industry insiders, but the fact that rap wasn’t always about gangsta culture is real.
