I've been telling people for a while that I can hear it too. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

I don't know what rock you've been living under where you think base Firefox wasn't ever improved

I hate that cliche'd, untrue, glurgey phrase with a passion. But your point is good.

Good news, but it's not "AI". Please stop calling it that.

Just like cable! \o/

That's not canon.

Edit: Out of curiosity, if you're downvoting me, are you downvoting because you disagree, or because the person meant it to be a joke? In the former case, it's both common sense and also Miyamoto said as much. In the latter case, there's no indication whatsoever that it's a joke, so would I have been wrong to "miss the joke"?

Knee-jerk, tribalistic reaction is dumb.

Oh, thank god. Plasma looks good for me. Easy to look at and professional. Assuming I understand how it works, which popular distros can use Plasma? Update: After some quick research, I think I want to use Kubuntu? Does that sound like a good idea?

What the heck is with the "-er" suffix?


"I'm a witcher."

"What does a witcher do?"

"I ~~create~~ ~~watch~~ ~~catch~~ ~~breed~~ ~~f***~~ hunt witches."

"I'm a birder."

"What does a birder do?"

"I ~~create~~ ~~catch~~ ~~hunt~~ ~~breed~~ ~~f***~~ watch birds."

"Actually I think several of those could apply..."


I think the confusing-ass formula is this:

A [word1]er is a [word2]er of [word1]s.

Housemate: Question. Why is Friday evening the end of Friday but, Christmas Evening is the beginning of Christmas?

Me: Technically there are two. "Christmas eve" and "Christmas Eve". That's not counting the third one, where "Christmas" refers to the season instead of the day(s), meaning there are many Christmas eves but only one Christmas Eve.

 

Wouldn't it be cheating? Just asking the important questions.

 

A lot of music— especially metal— is known for having lyrics that sound cool and evoke a specific feeling but that don't actually have any coherence. Creek Mary's Tears tells a specific message; but for the most part Nightwish's lyrics don't.

I feel like it's wasted potential. After listening to Two for Tragedy over and over today, I feel like this song could have been way better if it actually told a story instead of just sounded nice. I understand the principle that having vague lyrics can leave songs open to interpretation, but I feel like a lot of these— like Nightwish— don't really have the right words to provide a lot of room for meaningful interpretation.

 

I just saw my first Hexbear post, and I am not used to seeing this level of stupid. I don't want to see any more of it.
