Which?

or the kind that thinks it just means pure chaos.

Wouldn’t those be non-anarchists?

KDE Plasma, on a Lenovo ThinkPad E570 with a… GTX M950, I think.

That Lord of the Rings quote had massive implications of Orc society:

1. Orcs could be (and were) vegetarian
2. Orcs have menus, a.k.a. restaurants and civilization
3. There could be boy orcs instead of ones formed as adults (though to be fair, the movie showed only an Uruk-Hai “formed,” from what I can remember)

Is this counting people who installed it and then left out of disappointment? I installed it once, and then I couldn’t navigate through the menu as mouse-less-ly as Linux Mint can, and Steam wouldn’t show any windows at all despite updating (only right-clicking the system tray icon would bring up that menu, but then clicking those entries or double-clicking the icon did nothing). It was just a really disappointing experience so I returned to Mint Cinnamon.

Oh, okay. I’ve never had that happen before. I do know Simple Wikipedia, though; it’s handy!

Log in and install it through the free and open-source Heroic Games Launcher to minimize Epic’s telemetry!

Why did you give me Simple Wiki? lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle

Well, I’m thinking along the lines of Sun Tzu’s general philosophy of “Don’t kill needlessly.” It’s why China will never nuke Taiwan; they want its semiconductor factories and other resources, including human labor. Same with the US and Russia, perhaps… By the way, I am strictly in this scenario talking about military application, not merely home defense/individuals fighting. I could have clarified that from the start, I’m now realizing, so my mistake.

I wasn’t even high!

Don’t rain on my parade! 😭

Stupidity is a good-enough reason for that!

Because converting your enemy to further do your bidding is way better than just killing them, of course!

Those are the ones that were still beneficial!

That reminds me… let me post another shower thought…

Well, they’re not mine and rather evil mega corps’ or PMCs’ from MGS, but yeah, that’s what I had in mind…

Thanks, that’s fine. I don’t think it’ll be a problem at all, since I read the entire plot summary to The Substance and was still floored upon watching it (though apparently some of the wording in the article was confusing so I didn’t even understand the whole plot lol).

What do you mean by “believe?” They’re already out there; do you not follow the news? https://www.inside.lk/lifestyle/health/microscopic-robots-offer-new-hope-for-treating-clogged-arteries/

Or, again, injects nanobots through that stinger, which then take control of your body. Why let a perfectly fine slave body go to waste by dying?
