All my devices, Linux or otherwise, have a host name after fictional a vessel be it water, air, or space. Weatherlight, Swordfish_II, Hammerhead, Pequod, Flying_Dutchman, Serenity, Arwing, Cloudbase, Prydwen, Nebuchadnezzar... I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of. Nebuchadnezzar is my LTO machine that I can never spell correctly... but that's fine, I only log in to do an annual backup to cold and fresh install of any workstation or laptop or cellphone to tape and store in my safe. Have been doing that for 3 years now. I have to look up how to spell it literally every time.

This feels like one of those European translated turns of phrase. Like in Dutch there is a phrase that translates to "monkey sandwich story" that is used to call somebody a liar.

Because the alternatives are to roll over and take it or revolt with violence and we should strive for peaceful resolution before violent revolution.

I mean the first two things are true about both atheists and Christians proportionately to their populations. This community is full of judging atheists and people who believe they are morally superior. And I'm sure if more atheists were in power there would be someone with intention to legislate their beliefs regarding religion. This whole comment is kinda, I dunno... It's lacking some self awareness...

Nintendo is a Japanese company. They settled out of court. The US legal system did not get involved...

Deluxe editions of games are anti-consumer even if it is an upgrade. Just sell the whole fucking game to me or don't sell anything at all.

I mean, one of the more quoted lines in LOTR is a human woman telling the Nazgul Witch King "I am no ... man." The film quote is shorter and more direct but the book still has Eowyn telling the witch kind she isn't a man. So there are men and women but also man is used to describe humans.

Marijuana legislation has less to do with marijuana as more to do with prisoners in prison for marijuana use, distribution, and or possession. It's a step toward decriminalization of most drugs which accounts for up to 25% of state facility incarceration depending on the state. Why the fuck am I paying tax dollars to keep a drug user in a cell? Why would you want to pay to feed them 3 meals a day?

What I mean is, there is no way the Chinese headquarters of tik Tok will let the America arm of the company have access to its algorithm. Tik Tok is nothing without its algorithm. At best it's a large install base that will dwindle once they realize til Tok kinda sucks all of a sudden.
