This was absolutely on my 2025 bingo card along with plans for a new face on Mount Rushmore and a mountain, river, or national park being named after him.

If you build it, they will porn.

Every PC I’ve ever owned has had some version of vi installed on it pretty much on day one of my owning it.

I mean, I don’t disagree with anything you say, but that’s because I have a progressive mindset. Which kind of was the point.

Yes, I agree.

But surely you can acknowledge the possibility that some people believe transgenderism is an affront to god and an existential threat to children, or whatever, then their position is not dissimilar.

That’s the issue. What makes ‘this is offensive’ more valid than ‘this is dangerous’?

This is just another front in the war between religion and reason.

I mean it’s not an easy question to answer is it? How is my ideological position that ‘nigger’ is not acceptable and removing it makes the book suitable for modern readers any different from someone else’s ideological position that, e.g., ‘transgender’ is not acceptable and removing it makes whatever book suitable for modern readers?

A punchier example would be And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie - the best selling murder mystery of all time - which was first published as Ten Little Niggers

The front fell off.

Love this format.

By saying nothing you make yourself complicit in keeping this betrayal a secret. Unacceptable to me, at least.

“… hey Mark, I’m truly sorry to have to do this but you need to see this text from your dad.”

I wouldn’t put it past Musk to be planning on a nuke strike somewhere to boost investment in SpaceX. “See, life on earth is fragile, we have to be able to leave (if you’re rich enough)!”

I’ve been using Qwant for a while now. Better results than Google, that’s for sure.

I’m still not sure what a project manager contributes.

I’ve well over a decade in software project management. The number one thing we contribute to a project is saying to the client (internal or external) “Sure, we can add that feature but it will have an impact on the delivery timeline unless we deprioritise other features. Are you happy for us to extend the deadline? If not, let’s talk about what we can cut from the existing scope in favour of your new feature.”

Good ol’ sugar tits.

Is Google really as shit as Bing? I had to Ask Jeeves to confirm that.

Don’t want any Debbie-downers on Shitter once his bestie is in the big chair.

Came here for the pipe.

I did this to all my parents’ bookshelves when I was about 8. For the next 45 years they blamed me every time they couldn’t find a book.
