i think one factor (though definitely not all) of the dislike is the politics of the project, which are fairly inclusive and kind. some people can’t stomach that. another factor might be that the mere existence of rust implies that a lot of people are not the 100x rockstar developer they might aspire to be. maybe it’s also just a simple change = bad. though i have seen people who dislike rust also gravitate towards zig, and that also has some big differences. maybe it’s a hate towards mozilla? when i talk to people who hate rust they don’t articulate themselves well, so i have to speculate and i get nowhere. one thing i do hear about rust a lot is that it’s ugly, but I don’t really get that. i can’t personally fathom disdaining to use a tool simply because of looks, and i also don’t personally think rust is ugly.

uncommon? he’s an unidentified legendary

I’ve read the freedom road’s take on the tiananmen square incident and the tensions at the time, but why was it not a bad situation?

but but but airbnb is just a wee little internet platform, it doesn’t actually conduct any of the business on it except taking rent money and also additional fees and fuck you surcharges

takes a lot of skill to drive against this slew of oncoming traffic

brushing your teeth (with plastic bristles) definitely helps

I’m pretty sure most of everything you could possibly ever eat (even “chemicals”) comes from something alive, so the alternative would be starvation.

if it’s not made from animals, plants or fungi then from single celled organisms like bacteria and slime mold.

and veganism isn’t just a blind disagreement with eating one kingdom of biology, it’s a means to reduce harm, suffering, exploitation and killing. of course other kingdoms are alive, and in case we make it and sometime in the future we can somehow find viable, plentiful, cheap dead sources of all our nutrients there might be people who want to switch to those exclusively, but right now i think it’s a fairly measured movement.

gee whiz! by jingo! jiminy cricket! crikey! blimey! goodness gracious!

i think the downvotes are more because it’s a tasteless overused joke, but idk.

life is like a gacha pull. you just need to reincarnate and try harder, maybe you get the coveted SSR birth.

i know, that’s why i mentioned it. i don’t mind losing out on games with kernel anticheat. if you really do want a big battlefield shooter, battlefield 4 is still an option. if you want something smaller then maybe you can try the finals, which also breaks free from the hero shooter genre a little. if you do want a hero shooter then marvel rivals also works on linux. i don’t think you’re missing out on a lot. maybe battle royale shooters? fortnite, pubg and cod warzone won’t run on linux, but to some that’s also a benefit.

i don’t know if you’ve ever seen professional competitive fps gamers, but their aim and hearing can be insane. they’re almost equivalent to an aimbot. They can react in a hundred milliseconds and then lock on a head to such an extent that it really does look like a lock-on. When the enemy moves very fast they can still predict enemy movement based on their player character’s animation, keeping the lock-on. Flying enemies are at their mercy as well, because they fly in a predictable arc. They can perfectly counter weapon recoil patterns because they’ve trained on them. I know there’s the valve approach of banning cheaters based on suspicious behavior, but at an extremely high level it’s almost impossible to separate cheaters from extremely good players, especially if the cheating gets more subtle. I really do dislike kernel anticheat and I use linux myself, but there are reasons for it.

i think the post was more about how shallow and consumerist patrick bateman is and how shallow some women can be. a lot of the movie (haven’t read the novel) goes into his routines, his self-care and the idolization of brands, expensive things, status, money, looks and appearance.

imported snacks!

you need remarkably little wisdom to contribute to modern society

to be fair apparently they’re only in los angeles county, but I didn’t know whether to write LA grocery chain, LA county grocery chain or californian grocery chain. now the middle option looks best, but i was mildly brain deficient at the time (as well as all the time).

that’s for you to do, otherwise you’d get no joy out of it.

the travis scott (popular rapper) x (in collaboration with) erewhon (LA county upscale grocery chain) dubai chocolate (chocolate with a significant filling of pistachio, kadayif and tahini) labubu (chinese plush toy brand) matcha (finely ground green tea) latte (coffee drink made out of espresso and steamed milk) is reportedly in the works.

if politicians can’t make decisions as good as subject experts, they should discuss it with subject experts. else why do politicians even have a job?

but what if the natives who are in tune with nature also had a magical tree that hosts a hivemind across the whole planet?

but also, blue 8 foot women. (i checked wikipedia and apparently the navi are 10 feet tall. pretty epic ngl.)
