note: this post isnt a ragebait im serious this did happen.

just cause it happened doesn’t make it not ragebait. posting “linux is garbage” to a linux forum, when your problem wasn’t even really a linux problem is very much rage bait.

even if you had a bad experience, why try to persuade others? why do you give a shit what other people use? why shill for microslop?

could you explain the joke? i don’t think i get it.

this seems, idk, needlessly mean? like, it’s clearly trying to portray this programmer as bad, but for what? wanting to get a job? trying to improve their skills?

i feel like this is probably meant to be funny, but it just seems mean and sad.

is tumblr a “Star Wars site” now?

if you don’t need those windows only programs to earn a living, just install linux, don’t fuck around with dual booting. accept that you’re gonna have to learn new things. you’ll adapt.

if you do need windows for something, i guess dual boot, but make a pact with yourself to only use it for that one program, and switch back when you’re done, and keep looking for replacements so you can cut that last chain lashing you to m$. i highly recommend alternativeto for that.

he was elected twice, sure, but in the first case, he lost the popular vote by about 3 million votes, and in both case, he didn’t get a majority, and the majority of americans didn’t vote either way at all.

it’s bad, but no matter how you slice it, trump voters make up less than a quarter of the US population.

it’s been a long time since i looked at brainfuck, but i suspect that ‘+’ denotes an increment, and ‘-’ denotes a decrement, so we’ve got one decrement and 20 increments.

1. blueberry please.
2. a bag of poop (but also most things that can send a message are solid)
3. she and her wife are going through a rough divorce.
4. monkey flip

rude.

so the specific image adds nothing (since being arrested anywhere for anything usually ends up with being in a cell), and could just be any image depicting anyone in a cell?

perhaps it was foolish of me to think there was a joke here.

that is definitely not perl.

yep. in 2 dimensions, nobody really debates on whether x or y should point up, so i kinda think the debate about z stems from whether one thinks we should put the xy plane horizontally (like a sheet of paper on a desk), or vertically (like a chalkboard).

does any software default to making x be the vertical axis?

yeah, i know that number is horribly inflated, and few ever look at the considerably larger death toll that ought to be ascribed to capitalism, but to suggest that the any state, such as the ussr, doesn’t have any blood on its hands seems naive at best, and actively deceptive at worst.

not sure if this is trying to say that everyone who died at the hands of Communists™ weren’t people, didn’t have souls, or were just universally evil and went to the Bad Place and therefore deserved it, but whichever way, it doesn’t seem like a good look.

yeah, but of that was the case, they shouldn’t have included the invasion if korea in 598, which predates the formation of the PRC by over 1300 years.

yeah, i think this is relying pretty heavily on people’s ignorance of china’s history to seem even remotely believable. idk why they feel the need to lie anyway, cause china’s record in the modern day is still undeniably better than the US’s.

i know who the rock is, but that doesn’t help me get whatever joke may or may not be happening here.

i wonder if this would be funny if i recognized the image.

lol i feel like i’ve been suddenly cast into an argument i didn’t realize was gonna happen, nor do i understand why i’ve been roped into it. i did not say, nor mean to imply that i thought you were denying the famine happened. you very clearly stated that you thought no one believes that it didn’t happen. i was just pointing out that in fact, some do. my first comment was in response to bubblybubbles, trying to figure out their take. you may think no one would deny that the famine happened, but it seemed like bubbles might think we’re both gullible rubes for thinking it did.

i also rather object to your ‘very narrow frame of view’ comment. that was just uncalled for. and for what? because i’m trying to learn about stuff and am willing to admit i don’t know everything?
