I’m back on my bullshit.
All I can say is there’s typically an implicit negative connotation when using the form “those people” regardless of intent. Usually it’s used that way when stereotyping or otherwise making a blanket statement about a group, so even benign uses of the phrase tend to sound hostile.
ohhhHHHHHhhhhh! That’s what was happening. Me and my ghetto butt had picked that term up from childhood and never realized it was considered hostile. Thanks for letting me know.
Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder…Oh…yikes
Anyone have a non-paywalled version?
Because Ubuntu sucks! 👎 Here’s a list of why:
Snaps = 👹
Ads in start menu (they did this before Winblows!)
Unity is sooo fucking slow and stupid. That dumbass bar of most used apps always present taking up screen space 🙉
Canonical doesn’t give a shit what users want🖕
But the most important part is that I really don’t care. I don’t use your computer. You do. So use whatever the 🔥hell🔥 you want. Use a version of Winblows 🪟 themed to look like Arch 🤭, wallpaper and all👌, then post screenshots on the Internet about your superiority 💪.
Live how you want! And if someone shames you for it, kick them out of you life 😎
Mint is the shit! The only reason I don’t use it is because they don’t have a native KDE version. If they ever do, I plan on going right back Mint.
ChromeOS
- install Kubuntu
Or even better, install KDE Neon. Same as Kubuntu, but with less bloat and the latest KDE Plasma.
They’re saying they trust you, you dingbat.
Latinoamérica is all Spanish, Portuguese, and French speaking countries in the Americas plus Puerto Rico. Quebec, Louisiana, and Miami are not part of Latinoamérica. Latinoamérican ethnicity is anyone whose culture comes from Latinoamérica. Examples:
People born in Miami aren’t Latino. However, if they were raised in a Latino family, then yes.
A person born in Puerto Rico to an Anglo-Saxon family that rarely if ever socialized with the local population wouldn’t be Latino.
A person born in Australia to Mexican parents and raised with Mexican culture would be Latino.
A person born in Mexico to an Australian family that acculturated and integrated to the local culture would be Latino.
A person born and raised in Spain as Spanish is not Latino.
French-Canadians are generally not considered Latino because they have been culturally isolated from Latinoamérica.
A person born in Ancient Rome would not have been Latino even if they spoke Latin.
What’s up with July 29, 2024?
Found it! It’s almost 3 hrs long, so you know what that means: a glass of wine, your favorite easy chair, and of course, this YouTube video streaming on your home system. So, go on, and indulge yourself. That’s right, kick off your shoes, put your feet up, lean back and just enjoy the rational documentary. After all, knowledge soothes even the savage lemming.
Can anyone ELI5 what the axes mean?
Remembering from my social psychology classes in undergrad, I believe number is 150. But yes, that’s a good point. It’s one of the reasons people in major urban areas like NYC are capable of moving on with their lives when terrible things happen to those around them. We biologically can’t care about people once we reach our 150 limit. Btw, I think the authors of that theory argued that that number is one of the major differences between us and other social species.
So out of the 345 computers in Antarctica, one is Linux.
that’s fine because i don’t download copyrighted material. everything on furries.com is freely available.
lol, I updated it with a silly link for more even fun 😋
This makes sense given the popular knowledge at the time. The reason Columbus set sail wasn’t because he was a genius that knew the Earth was round when everyone else didn’t. We knew the Earth was round since antiquity. I can’t remember who1, but some ancient Greek had calculated the circumference of the Earth using the angle of a shadow, distance to a equinox solstice, and simple trigonometry. They guy was less than 5% off with his rudimentary calculation, which is impressive considering that he paid some dude to measure the distance between two towns by walking it. Anyways, the Western Europeans thought that Japan was farther east, somewhere around where the words “Terra florida” are on this map if I recall correctly from memory. When the Niña, Pinta, and Santa Marimba (party boat! jk, it was Santa Maria named after the “virgin”) landed on the most beautiful land that human eyes had ever seen, they knew they hadn’t landed on Zipangri/Cipangu/Japan. Instead, they thought they had landed on some island off of India, which is why they called the locals “Indios” (Indians). Anyways part 2, they thought that Japan was much further east than it was. I imagine that since they hadn’t found it for this map yet, they though it must be right out of sight of the western coast of North Vespucci (America).
What I’m curious about is that 7448 inflating archipelago. Anyone have an idea on what that’s about?
1: The dude was Eratosthenes. Thanks, @user134450@feddit.org!
I’m a straight guy. I don’t think I like boobs like most other straight guys.
Yeah, that’s what I’m realizing from the responses to this question. Thanks for pointing that out. Btw, it wasn’t my sister laughing. It was my supervisor at work that was laughing when I referred to my sister and her group as those people. Oopsies!
