Anyone who tells people not to bike on the sidewalk, and who owns a car, deserves to have it magically explode right then and there. And I hope they're driving it when they do.

It always embarrassed Samuel Vimes when civilians tried to speak to him in what they thought was “policeman.” If it came to that, he hated thinking of them as civilians. What was a policeman, if not a civilian with a uniform and a badge? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not policemen. It was a dangerous habit: once policemen stopped being civilians the only other thing they could be was soldiers.

Smeagol was redeemable, but it couldn't be done in the middle of a warzone by two desperate men who are carrying the source of his addiction.

Smeagol needed years of therapy by trained experts far away from the ring.

I'm sick of Kwin. I like the way it looks, but its focus stealing protection is broken. I like to tab out and read ebooks while my games are on loading screens. Some games decide to take focus while they're in the middle of a loading screen. That's why I configured Kwin with high focus stealing protection, and extreme on those particular games. Sadly, it doesn't work. There's no raising protection, and the "keep below other windows" rule is completely nonfunctional. Also, some of the Kwin maintainers are assholes.

I want to try a new window manager. One with strong focus stealing and raising protection. And I'm on NVIDIA, so no Wayland for me yet. Any recommendations?

Envy.

Rowling is upset that she's had to endure a lifetime of misogyny, and envious of men. When she sees trans women, she assumes they have it better than her because they got to be male, and gets mad at them for not enjoying having what she wants.

Steven Crowder isn't trans, but he does have a crossdressing fetish, and he's mad trans women get to do his fetish all day long. He wants that, but he can't have it because he'd eventually feel dysphoric.

Andrew Tate is furious that nobody thinks he's pretty. He has to traffick women in order to get them to have sex with him. He wishes he had the attention that women get, and he's mad that trans women are "males" who get to be pretty. He doesn't want to be a woman, but he wants someone to find him attractive.

Donald Trump just wants to be the center of attention. He doesn't hate trans people, but he knows attacking them gets him attention. He wants to be in the news.

Spot on representation of the original myth and its meaning. Not cashing in on brand names. Just making good art that happens to contain a native american myth. This is what art looks like when it comes from respectful engagement with a culture on its own terms, while also creating something new.

This comic takes place in an original fantasy setting, so it's not literally a... that thing, but thematically this is definitely one of those.

Kidnapping implies isolated incidents and criminals working outside the government. Disappearing points out that the government is responsible, it's harsher language

When I was learning to use Rust's package manager, Cargo, I tried to man it from the command line. Cargo doesn't have a man page, and googling my query only lead to shorts.

When a fascist destroyed the world in The Avengers, Thor chopped off his head. That's what superheroes do in pop culture, they kill bad people

That's why the CEO shooter is a superhero.

Forget the grunts and moans. When a mudcrab attacks my character, I want to hear "god fucking dammit" and "fucking shitbiscuit" from my character. That's how people actually sound when they get hurt.

A lot of people point out that it doesn't make any sense that Harry and Ron didn't like their schoolwork. Well I figured out why:

It's because the magic system is just as boring in-universe as out of universe. It doesn't make any sense in universe either. Harry and Ron realised Rowling's magic system kinda stinks way before we did, because they spent all day learning it.

If Sanderson had been writing Harry Potter, then Harry and Ron would have liked learning magic as much as Hermione did (Also, Sanderson actually DID write a book about a super-school, it's called Skyward, it's good)

Let's say I'm vegan and I need to take vitamin B12 supplements to be healthy. Furthermore, let's say I have ADHD, I forgot to take them for a month, I feel like shit, and while I know to take them now, there's no guarantee I'll remember tomorrow.

If I were to take 2 tablets today, an amount which I surely need, would my body actually absorb all the B12 it needs, or would I piss out the second tablet? Do I have to wait until tomorrow to absorb the nutrients my body needs now?
