This is all worded in the past-tense, which is a mistake. They did celebrate it in the past, but they also still celebrate it today, as long as it only affects "teh gayz".

I grew up in a very right-wing environment, and the amount of people who got mad only because it was spreading to straight people was insane.

Getting banned by PJ is a badge of honor around here. I kind of assumed a Gold-Member like yourself would already have them blocked.

...requiring 15 push-ups, 32 sit-ups, and running one-and-a-half miles in 14 minutes...

That's a stupidly easy test. I'm a programmer, gamer, and I have a bad back, and I can easily do that.

Flashbacks to me in college thinking "Oh, I actually have to study? WTF is this nonsense?"

No they didn't. There are plenty of companies that run multi-regional services, outside of AWS. This is just an excuse for making poor choices.

If people are still peeing in the street there, then it's not enough.

This is what fascist supporters don't understand. The fascists will turn on anyone in a heartbeat. It doesn't even have to make logical sense. As long as it gives them any kind of political advantage, real or perceived, they will turn on their allies.

Lepards eating faces, and all that.

They know what they want AI for: To have a cheap, disposable labor force

Seriously. I pretty much only buy things off GoG nowadays. I can back it up to my own storage, and take it wherever I want. High-five to GoG.

Democrats when they are the majority: "OMG, the Republicans are preventing us from giving you any of the things that you want. I guess we gotta go bomb a bunch of brown people, and spend a bunch of monies on our rich friends."

Democrats when they are the minority: "What do you want us to do? We don't have any power. I guess we gotta vote for the Republican policies."

I use it to contol my OS, of course!

My superkey controls my OS (window-manager, music, launcher, brightness, etc).

My alt-key controls my tmux and browser

My ctrl-key controls the app (vim/bash/mpd)

I remember a meeting at a previous company where they announced that they were going to start hiring people in India. "They aren't going to replace you, they are going to help you!"

There's a good scene in Walkaway where something like this happens. Someone wants to help everyone, and the opposition wants to have a hierarchy so that they can decide who to help, and who to abandon.

"Things that need to be done" is a gas-state that grows to fill the volume of time that you have.

Then you document it by putting those commands into a text file. Then you learn that you can script it it by making that text file a script. Then you learn that you can make it more automated by doing for-loops. Then you learn that you can automate more by adding a few variables. Then you realise how far you've come.

And yet every election, I'm told that I have to vote for them, because they are gonna fly in and save the day. I'm sure that'll happen any day now... Yup, any day now.....
