that’s generally how it works with Mint. you install it, use it for a week or two and then move onto a distro that better suites your needs. Mint is a fantastic introduction and sure many will stick with it for awhile I think most move on from it fairly quickly.
hell one of them already took a shot at him. If that’s not a wake up call I don’t know what is.
one of the best MCU movies in awhile, that they even acknowledge in the film. felt like one of the first marvel movies that was a real love letter to fans of the comic books as there were quite a few deep cuts from the comic books. Cassandra Nova was prety much ripped right from the comics as far as her looks and personality goes. Lady Deadpool, Marvel Zombies Deadpool, Ultimate Deadpool, Kidpool, Deadpool 2099, Zenpool…like wow I was even surprised they had Deadpool 2099 in it. the first live action version of a 2099 character.
great movie. and man Gambits costume was just spot on, even had the weird cross hatch neck thing. pulled right from the comics and cartoon.
back in the late 00’s there was (maybe still is, who knows) an online service called “gamefly” where you could rent games. At the time the DS pokemon games would allow you to plug in a pokemon GBA cart and copy the pokemon from the GBA to your DS. So I would constantly rent GBA Pokemon games in hopes of finding something good on them to copy to my DS Pokemon game. I had it all scheduled out and everything. You could also wondertrade hacked pokemon or like really good pokemon online. I don’t remember exactly HOW you did it but I do remembering doing it.
2012 me feels personally called out by this. fuck 2012 me that lazy fucker. stackoverflow was my “get out of work early and hit the bar” card.

That being said the people that maintain the filter lists I believe, don’t quoute me on this, you can donate to a few of them. Really depends if they mention it on their githubs though and you pretty much have to go about finding them on your own as there’s no real centralized list of all the people that contribue to the filter lists.
it’s total bullshit. For example if you use ublock origin every now and again sure you might get ads that pop up, but AT MOST that lasts for a day, generally it’ll last a couple hours as the team at ublock update their lists to block ads again. There’s no need, literally zero need, to remove it from your extensions. and at worst, like I got yesterday, you’ll just see a black screen that buffers for a bit before the video plays. the ad is still blocked.
you can also circumvent most of this if you use freetube. OR if you just want music the youtube-dl script on linux. I also ditched spotify for youtube-dl as I can also download entire playlists with it.
as far as dead name goes, and again this is debatable, it’s in reference to the characters no longer using their “Matrix names” in the “real world” i.e. Neo no longer goes by Thomas Anderson. People will reference the fact that Agent Smith constantly refers to Neo as “Mr. Anderson” thus constanly using his “dead name” in reference to Trans people being called their “dead names” after they transition.
As far as the character goes the Wachowski Sisters have said that originally Switch was supposed to be a woman in the real world and a man within the Matrix but it got nixed by Warner Brothers as being too controversial for the time.
if he was hot he should have just opened a window…oh…oh wait…
This was already debunked awhile ago. it’s bullshit. no restaurant, regardless of how poorly they’re doing, is going to go through all this work to maybe, just mabye, get $50 out of them.
This is just like “what not to do in IT/dev/tech 101” right here. Every since I’ve been in the industry for literally decades at this point I was always told, even when in school, “Never test in production, never roll anything out to production on a Friday, if you’re unsure have someone senior code review” of which, Crowdstrike, failed to do all of the above. Even the most junior of junior devs should know better. So the fact that this update was allowed go through…I mean blame the juniors, the seniors, the PM’s, the CTO’s, everyone. If your shit is so critical that a couple bad lines of poorly written code (which apparently is what it was) can cripple the majority of the world…yeah crowdstrike is done.
Also the Red Pill in the movie is literally estrogen. The Wachowskis based it off perscribed estrogen pills for trans women in the 90s.
So Maga idiots saying “take the red pill” today are literally saying they want to be women.
originally Switch was supposed to be trans but, you know, 1999 and it was too early for that as the Wachowski sisters stated. The red pill in the movie was literally modelled after the perscribed estrogen people that trans women took in the 90s (which makes the whole “red pill” thing today really funny). Theres’ also the whole “dead name” thing but that’s up for debate.
couldn’t stand this show. It also pretty much spits on the prequels and regardless of people saying “thank god it’s a star was story outside of the skywalkter saga” uh no, it’s trying to shoe horn it’s way into that saga. This is a Skywalker Saga Prequel.
in TPM when confronted with the possibility that the Sith have returned Ki-Adi-Mundi states that the sith have been extinct for over a millenium. Mace says it would be impossible for them to return without them knowing. and Yoda says nothing.
Are we meant to believe that Vernestra told Yoda the same thing she told the Senate? “So my apprentice that I fucked up likely killed Sol and is probably a Sith but…yeah we’re not going to tell the Sentate that the Sith have returned cause the Sith Wars were pretty bad” Yoda: “Good Idea, that is”
The Acolyte takes place 100 years before TPM. The Acolyte makes Yoda look like an absolute moron if indeed Vernestra tells him what’s going on. What else would she be telling him? Those twins? yeah they were a vergence in the force and Sol wanted to train them even though we know it’s a bad idea. 100 years later? “Ok Obi-Wan go ahead and train that vergence in the force because it’ll probably go better than it did 100 years ago…huh? this happened before you ask? uh…yeah…didn’t go well but I’m sure you’re more qualified than Sol”
Like does no one see this? Either way you swing it, it makes the events of the prequels look like an absolute joke and shows that the Jedi are just a bunch of clowns running a clown school.
The Acoylte is trying to be a Skywalker Saga Prequel and if you can’t see it then I don’t know what to tell you. The Twins are the beta version of Anakin. With the introduction of Darth Plagueis which we should have all seen coming a mile away and now Yoda being involved it’s just all so painfully obvious.
It takes what happened in the Prequels with the downfall of the Jedi, the vergence in the force, the return of the Sith and says “yeah fuck all that, lets do the same thing and set it 100 years earlier” it’s unorignial garbage. It takes what happened with Anakin and pretty much says he isn’t special, this happened before with many of the same people involved.
Well this is just absolutely untrue. If there’s a pool of people who want to work then someone will just give them a job? what kind of magical unicorn world are you living in? So in your world unemployment rates just…don’t exist or are a fabrication? those people are just lazy?
If you got fired from your job and you couldn’t find another one, in your head, whose fault is that? yours? the mythical job provider who hasn’t blessed you with another?
If I ran a business and was provided the option of hiring you or someone in another country for peanuts, I’d tell you to kick grass.
But you want to work I hear you say! someone HAS to pay me to do something! nope, I’m not going to pay you, I’m going to pay this kid in India or his brother that just got off the plane half of what I would have to pay you.
Welcome to the real world.
who smells wood and thinks “you know what? I want to slap that pine tree on my pancake”?
hope your job never gets offshored
you: “Yeah I lost my job, but hey, now someone in India gets to earn a living…can you help me prop up my cardboard box to keep the rain out? thanks.”
I work with the homeless. the main misconception is that they’re all either addicts or mentally ill. This is far, far, from true. The ones you see daily, chances are they are addicts or mentally ill but the “hidden” homeless vastly out weighs the ones you see on the streets.
Most have jobs or are actively looking for work. A lot are escaping domestic abuse or are LGBTQ+ and escaping hostile home environments. There are A LOT of families and elderly people who simply can’t afford to keep a roof over their heads.
as someone who was homeless I’d let them in to take a shower and trim themselves up. If they’re an addict or mentally ill then no, i’d direct them somewehre else. I’ve had way too many bad interactions with both, especially addicts. If it was a homeless person who was sober and mentally sound? yeah i’d provide help because I know that programs and resources don’t exist for them they’re tailored for the addicts and mentally ill. Hell i’d even offer my couch. But addicts know the system and they’re only going to your door to rip you off. and the mentally ill don’t even know they’re homeless so they wouldn’t be knocking and asking for help anyways.
