Choirs don't preach, the metaphor sort of falls apart like that. Maybe "A church that only preaches to its own choir" would be better.

Honestly, probably some of the old NSFW/NSFL shock posts that used to make the rounds. Or LiveLeak videos of industrial accidents.

This is a good thing. Yes, it's not perfect. Yes, Fortnite and Epic are not great. But it's so exhausting when people say "you can't game on Linux" because games like Fortnite don't work on Linux. The argument I always make in response is that it's like saying you can't game on a Gameboy because it doesn't have Fortnite.

The main reason for a lot of people not switching to Linux is because they only play games like Fortnite (competitive multiplayer games with aggressive anti cheat) and those games don't work on Linux. (Marvel Rivals being the big exception to the rule.) Fortnite supporting Linux in some form will bring more users to Linux. More users on Linux will mean more studios view it as profitable to support.

So, yes, this is a good thing. Yes, I fully admit it's not perfect, but it's a huge step I think most of us can admit we never saw happening.

This is a rather neurodivergent absolutist approach hoping for a utopia any smart person know is not achieved within the parameters of today’s power structure.

This is a very ableist way to make this point. I know what you're trying to say here, but you're also saying that neurodivergent people are not smart because you're saying "any smart person" would not have a neurodivergent approach.

The fucking prediction market odds during the news is insane, as if it has any bearing on reality.

Copying and pasting another comment I made recently about this.

The AI CEOs say shit like this as marketing. They want people to believe that

1. Their product is very capable, so people are more likely to use it
2. Their product is dangerous and "only they" know how to control it. They want to create regulations so that nobody else is allowed to make something "so dangerous" again.

The Christian response would be that God's plan is always right. Even apart from that, I don't think the lifespan of a pope would imply that God did something "wrong". It's not like the pope is getting picked to rule for as long as possible or something. It's not like a monarchy where people say things like "this dynasty shall rule for a thousand generations!"

He lives in the Vatican City, no? Which is not Italy. Though, I suppose, it is within Italy lol. Also, maybe there is some odd aspect where his residence is technically Italy or he sleeps in Italy, but I'd guess not.

To be honest, that may have been where I first heard this lol.
