Stupid, sexy memes. Throbbing memes. Nostalgic memes. Memes about nostalgic meme, deep fried to jpg crispness. Demotivational memes. A dead baby joke, from a GeoCities site in 2001, hosted by a 12 year old. The face of your late grandmother, with a penis on it. Some really good nine inch nails live recordings. Your first wank at the family computer, late at night, discovering porn. Your friend half a world away, who to this day you've never met and can't be sure wasn't a catfish. Half Life 2, downloaded from limewire, with some shady crack that edited your registry.

Memes.

Is ASAP Linux a variant of Asahi that I'm not hip enough to get?

Ok I recognise Andre and Arnold, who's the dude on the left?

If you had a wife you might find that sometimes you want to do your own things but still kinda be near each other, and that's okay. It's lovely to have another person in your life you can share shit with but it's also lovely to be able to say 'you like this, I like that, I'll see you in an hour and a half for dinner and the movie' or whatever.

And chin up on the gf front. You might have better luck just finding someone you like spending time with than someone who's your 'all and everything'. Like, that latter shit is unsustainable.

Masturbating to the point of exhaustion

Most of my mates are some flavour, colour and level of Wombleypoo, but tbqh I've never considered whether - like star signs - there may be incompatibilities there

15... Years? On the fediverse? How'd ya manage that without time travel?

If you can, just use Perl. Probably installed on your systems, even the ones without python.

Mate, first of all: chill. Second of all: me, mincing words? You're the one who's decided the phrase 'natural philosophy' only applies to ancient Greeks. It's literally just what science used to be called. Being very very hung up on a specific definition of a word or phrase and excluding other common usages is not a good basis for an argument. There need have been no argument at all. 'We call it science now' seems to be what you meant, but it's not coming across well

Oh. And you can still do science without a theory. It's called data collection and it is absolutely vital.

Edit: a good example would be Rosalind Franklin's work on the structure of DNA. She did some incredible science with x-ray diffraction which was vital to Crick and Watson's theory of the structure.

Edit X2: also 'doing it implicitly' is totally fucking fine if the result of being invalidated is you create a more refined model of reality. Which is, like, pretty much what the whole thing about astronomy is...

Ah yes, that old chestnut. 'Yeah sure this other guy would probably genocide harder but he didn't (because he wasn't president) so we should suppress the vote for the old genocide dude to help the other old genocide dude who also hates that autonomy (bodily, electoral, legal) exists at all'. Very sensible, enlightened centrist, let's gooooo.

Boy I can't wait for the flash animation renaissance

I find that code way too fun to write to let someone or something else do it for me 😂
