  • This is why I prefer public transit for my morning commute as opposed to driving.

    You can doze off all you want without fear of killing someone. With how sleep deprived I usually am there’s no way me forcing myself to drive in the morning is safe. Worst that can happen is the bus driver gets annoyed at you because you slept past the last stop.

    Also, the bible tells us literally nothing about how heaven actually works or what people even do there. Meanwhile Marx wrote extensively about how he thinks a communist system would work. Heaven is not a “system” we can conceivably implement, because there’s nothing to implement. It’s just an abstract concept, and a very broad and ambiguous one at that.












  • Microsoft Surface.

    In no particular order:

    The Al Cantera keyboard cover stated delaminating and the top layer started peeling off just from the friction of resting your hands on it. Started happening within months of getting it.

    Battery failed after just a few years of daily use, I’m talking completely refused to charge, you unplug the charger even after leaving it in overnight and the screen goes black instantly. And while most laptops can run just fine with a dead battery as long as you keep it plugged in at all times, not the Surface. The little magnetic connector supplies so little power that the device is forced to down clock to below 1 GHz to keep from shutting down due to undercurrent. And sometimes it shuts down anyway because fuck you.

    It’s also glued so tight, and the front glass is so thin, that you basically can’t open it without destroying the screen in the process.

    Also, the magnetic charge connector started having contact issues around the same time the battery was starting to fail, so the moment you bump it, it disconnects and causes the device to turn off. It also just refuses to connect half the time when you plug it in. Gotta jiggle it, blow into it, shake and hit it a bunch of times, and pray. I’m pretty sure it’s the tablet’s side that’s the problem because changing chargers did nothing, and the charger that came with the problem tablet worked fine on another Surface. Gotta love when companies make the fragile part of the connector apart of the $2000 device that’s sealed shut with glue and put the more robust part on the cheap and easily replaceable charger.

    It’s also really bad at going to sleep. Way too many times I’ve closed it, put it in my bag, and when I take it out it’s scalding hot and the battery is nearly drained. It’s your own device Microsoft, running 100% your own software. How the hell do you fuck it up?!

    Worst. Tablet. EVER. And probably ruined any potential that laptop-replacement tablets once had, which is a shame because I still like the tablet form factor.





  • but should we really be putting the individual in the cross hairs without knowing what their story is

    Hey so this serial killer who boiled his victims alive had a really sad upbringing. We should just call it a wash and let him back out on the streets right?

    Learning what their story is might be good to do for a common thief, and maybe you’ll choose to be sympathetic as opposed to angry at the loss of your material possessions, but at a certain level of depravity, I don’t care what their story is. The victims of their atrocities don’t care what their story is. They can tell their story to the devil before getting thrown in the lake of fire.

    I think maybe countries with free healthcare and education dont have a lot of room to weigh in on this

    Why not?

    You were the only country to invoke NATO Article 5. Twice. Both times you were the invading aggressor fighting countries half a world away while spinning it as “defense”. Where you forced soldiers in countries with free healthcare and education (like Canada) to fight and die in wars you started. And then refused to pay us after the fact.

    And what does free healthcare and education have to do with anything? Are you going to claim that America “subsidises” us?
