Yeah I get it, he’s a good dude and you sound like one too. The only real resentment I harbor is towards our government. Because the military seems to offer the only real path to a life like that if you don’t have the means to get on that track yourself. Plus, it’s such a perilous one, not for everyone. My bil was lucky enough to serve at an allied base during peacetime - he still ended up half-deaf from all the live-fire drills.

It’s already half way to replacing stack overflow and all the other trusty old forums for coding and tech issues. At some point people will stop using the old platforms and that’s when the well will run dry for LLMs, which will have to start consuming their own refuse err, content. There’s a looming cliff, and it’s coming up faster than you might think.

My brother in law is an ex-marine, no college and now easily makes 4x what I do. Free network, free training, free career, low-interest loan on his house. I promise I’m not bitter… But if that’s not socialism I don’t know what is.

We do have a couple lemon stealing whores in this community

Great video, thanks for the link!

2025 Santa doesn’t even stop for the bad kids anymore, he just rolls coal at their house from the sleigh.

Same here. Once my iMac G3 and 2nd gen iPod Touch shit the bed, I was out. My parents are mac people and frequently ask me for help with random, outlandish issues on their Macs (since I’m a “computer person”) and I’m usually at a loss.

Avocado is classed as an S tier “peekaboo food” in our household

You can get a new table

The problem as I understand it is that people try to dig/slide the pit out of the avocado with the knife and their hand slips. The safer way is what you described - choose a knife with a bit of weight, draw it back a few cms and give it a nice whack, then with the knife firmly embedded, twist to release the pit.

I too was raised with religion (Catholicism) in the US, while my wife grew up going to Baptist churches - our childhoods could not have been more different. I was taught that studying science and the processes of observation and inquiry bring you closer to God, while for her the sciences were alternately ignored or lied about. Our family gave into the collection basket of our own will because we believed raising funds for good causes was the right thing to do. Her family was under compulsory tithing - 10% of all income. I was allowed to read whatever books, consume whatever media, and wear whatever I wanted, she was not. The list goes on…

I’m not trying to whitewash Catholicism - it obviously has its own major issues that shouldn’t be ignored, but it’s a far cry from the fundamentalist book burners who my family thought of as zealous nut bags.

Not sure what point you’re trying to make. The seat of Catholicism in Europe and American fundamentalists have very few things in common. Even American Catholics have very little crossover with their evangelical counterparts.

Is that some kind of labubu?
