Semi-Hemi-Demigod

When I need to do stupid tasks like timesheets and emails I unplug. The lack of screen space means I don’t get distracted.

When I need to do hard work I dock my system and use my dual 4Ks to maximize visual bandwidth.

Just write a bash script to loop over them.

Once I’ve delivered them as torrents to the people of earth, I’m going out to find a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster

The first thing I do when I have an FTL ship is flying out about a hundred light years and grabbing these important pieces of culture

If being told that your gender is a threat makes you an enemy you were never going to be an ally in the first place.

Fuck I hate my gender. Bunch of goddamn babies.

You know what’s more insulting to me as a man? The fact that one out of every six women will be sexually assaulted.

Being told that women are afraid of men isn’t insulting; it’s reasonable.

If you’re going to blame some vague notion like “the Patriarchy” for the behavior of men it doesn’t make me think you’re an especially enlightened person.

If you’re a man and you’re not horrified at the behavior of men then you haven’t talked to enough women.

Replying to counter the chuds and say you’re absolutely right, but that I don’t know a way to get this through other men’s thick skulls.

You can leave.

Show them the original post. If they go “Yup” then they get to stay. If they feel the need to write a NOTALLMEN rant they get shown the door.

Of course I know the bear, he’s me

I would agree that most men need to be excluded from society

I’m not insulted, I’m angry at my fellow men for being such consistent shitheads that it’s true.

You’re absolutely right. If my kids were living in Finland or Japan then practicing the language they experience every day would help to form the connections that make a language “stick.” I’m reminded of the only good scene from The Thirteenth Warrior where Antonio Banderas explains how he learned the Viking language with two words: “I listen.”

That being said, it’s far better than my education in French. I took four years in high school and three semesters in college and can barely understand it. Plus I didn’t have nearly as much fun as them.

My kids were big into Duolingo, one learning Finnish and the other learning Japanese. So I didn’t mind paying for extra stuff because, hey, it’s educational.

But then I’d ask them to say something in Japanese, or what something says - we watch a lot of anime - and they wouldn’t be able to. So I don’t pay for it anymore because it’s not actually educational.

Interestingly, I’m watching this great video as I type this which compares Duolingo to a casino, and I don’t entirely disagree.

If you kids just understood that we don’t have any control over government you’d get over yourselves and vote like you’re told to.

He’s still got the weight of the heavens, just in his mind.

Are you pondering what I’m pondering, Pinky?

You can tell a good developer/sysadmin by the length of their beard. If they don’t have to shave to get a job that means they’re 1337
