Good theory but my parents were in another country when I was conceived so there is literally no way one of my uncles could have done that.

I hate all of you so much right now

Kirk does whatever the fuck he wants to do. It is up to the writers to justify his actions, not Kirk

I need to see your clearance from at least one of three or four three letter agencies before I can tell you the real answer.

Maybe go back in time and punch my dad in the balls about 9 months before I was born.

Then all that would remain of me would be a weird story where my dad got socked in the nuts by a ghost that looked just like him.

Got to do it in stages so it doesn’t look too premeditated.

Start a online auction site where people can sell their stuff and you get a small cut of the profit.

Then to help people on board start a payment processor company to ensure that the sellers ship their goods and that buyers pay.

Once that has established, go public with it so that your stock sales can support the existence of your current portfolio while you dabble in other things that you know are very profitable.

Once you have that going, which will take a few years. You can take a victory lap or two and maybe pay some PR firms to make you look like the cool rich kid on the internet that everyone wants to hang out with.

Then you can do stuff like starting a spaceship company and helping to bring about the end of the internal combustion engine by starting an electric car company and doing some solar panel stuff.

Eventually you’ll be the richest person on the planet and then you can get to doing the really fun stuff assuming you don’t like tank all of your personal reputation by blowing 20% of your net worth on a microblogging website or something while disavowing your trans daughter.

I mean, if you’re smart enough to do all the other things surely you wouldn’t blow it at the five yard line like that.

Might be worth it to sink the Nina the pinta and the Santa Maria Midway across the Atlantic.

If Columbus never made it back to Europe that would have delayed expansionism a good while.

If I could also somehow go to the Americas and provide some interesting artillery to the Eastern coastal tribes that would probably help even more.

You can even make the connector look like a B with a larger loop on one side, that when people were like why is it shaped like that you could just say that’s the b in the USB

That guy is like, I’m getting paid $18 an hour to hold a plastic bag while they do all of the hard work. I’m just going to sit here and act like I don’t know what’s going on and let them enjoy their laugh while I collect my paycheck.

I agree. It’s not that I expect Linux to be like windows. It’s not and that’s a good thing. I’m just thinking for when I encounter people and they ask me, “Hey, I was thinking about trying a Linux. What should I do? Which one should I pick?”

I’m going to recommend Kubuntu.

I have to agree with you. That is a very common trope in anime, sometimes they deserve it but most of the time they are Mary Sues, and it rankles me.

That being said, it’s escapism, it’s fun, it’s like, what would I envision heaven to be like.

That being said, I do wish writers would focus more on having actual problems to solve and that there would be real stakes in the storyline for the main characters to overcome where there is a real risk of loss.

Being OP is super fun for one season but when season 2 rolls around it’s not fun anymore.

You say that as an innocent person right? What if you committed a crime and you know you’re guilty of it? Would you not just do your time because your own conscience motivates you to do so?

You’ve never been in jail for more than 3 days if you think you can sleep through a multiple year prison sentence.

Once your sleep debt is full your body will not allow you to sleep more without chemicals and they don’t exactly provide sleeping aids to you in prison.

Don’t you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby!

Boo this person! Boo! Boo!

Kubuntu.

The prevailing wisdom used to be that if somebody is tired of Windows and wants to switch you would send them to Ubuntu. Having used Ubuntu and Debian and Mint and Pop! OS and CentOS and Red Hat and Fedora and Kubuntu, Kubuntu with the new KDE plasma desktop seems to be the most Windows like while still retaining the Linux flavor OS that I have used so far.

Ubuntu by comparison is slow and convoluted and those are huge turn offs for neophyte Linux users who want to get away from Windows.

Yeah but that’s kind of like saying if I had a billion dollars paying rent wouldn’t be difficult for me.

No true Scotsman fallacy. Have you met other drivers?

Half of them are arguing with their spouses, texting, masturbating, arguing, road raging, or sleeping at any one moment.

The other half are the REALLY bad drivers who are doing all 6 at the same time.

I have no idea what this means

A lot of people accuse them of this in regards to some sort of like water powered engine. So far the evidence seems to be that there’s no way to split water into hydrogen and oxygen that uses less power than the resulting burning of the gas can generate.

I said that to say take these accusations with a grain of salt.

I like this theory. Makes me think that Spock has taken in all of the variables and computed that the most likely positive outcome for the current mission is for Kirk, who has a rebellious streak, to know that somebody disapproves of his actions, therefore causing him to act in his characteristic manner which increases their likelihood of success.
