In almost every case in fictional writing it's better to make up a poison then use a real one. That way you don't have someone picking it apart later. Also you can give it whatever properties you want/need. Now excuse me while I continue to work on my immunity to iocane powder.

Psypost is like the the Daily Mail of science journalism. Kind of just dismiss everything I see from them at this point. Thank you for the rebuttal.

They’re not well liked.

I think that probably would've sufficed. Even the Republicans shun gay Republicans because they don't want them to exist. Gay Republicans are like the most baffling thing to me. Like a Jewish Nazi.

The eggs in the picture are like the most expensive eggs you can buy. A dozen of the cheapest eggs are around $5-6. Which is still like 3-4 times as expensive as they were a few years ago, but not nearly as insane as what is posted.

Interesting design choice to store the model year as a date instead of an int. I guess it was probably done for a reason but I'm having a hard time thinking of one.

Your username doesn't make me feel awesome about getting in a Nissan or Ford built after 2016.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Sure. Maybe they just kneecap you while you're fighting the bear? I'm not sure that really flows from the above conversation though and kinda feel like you're saying I'm brainless cause I didn't go far enough with my bear fight analogy... Which seems a little extreme considering I equated them to someone that would just watch you get mauled by a bear and do nothing.

The DNC is bad. I said it again. The DNC is really not great. There once more. They are not nearly as bad as what's going on in the current administration though. If that statement is "defending the DNC" then you have lost all perspective.

To clarify, I don't think any of us are winning. They made the claim that Biden was just sitting and back and watching. I'm asserting, using their same claim, that the alternative is worse, while also making fun of the fact that watching someone fight a bear and not helping is objectively terrible. Do you really think this analogy makes Biden/the DNC out to be a great people?

[–] Hobo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

You made the claim. I continued by pointing out that the alternative is WAY worse using your same claim. Are you really this obtuse in real life? Or just on the internet?

[–] Hobo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not the one that made the claim. I'm merely carrying on the anaolgy. Read what I replied to you jackwagon.
