@EmilieEasie @Abyssian "Not sure what it is about memes..." Reductionism, I think. Superficiality. Sloganeering in place of critical thinking. Appeal to emotion rather than reason. No?

@SocialistVibes01 Do these numbers include "WSL" installs?linuxvox.com/blog/windows-linu

@naught101 Seemed pretty directly on point regarding what analysis does versus praxis. ymmv

@naught101 A focus on "causes" tends to essentially create a confirmation bias. A focus on mental hygiene tends towards mental hygiene. Make your bed, brush your teeth, take a walk, do all of those basic, quietly life-affirming activities of daily living which almost imperceptibly shift us out of analytical reinforcement of our "problems" and into experiential reinforcement of life's simple joys.Not everyone has a bed to make, a sink where they can brush their teeth, teeth to brush...

@bookie @gedaliyah And rivers and crystals are alive, if you define "alive" broadly enough.What, then, makes a given definition useful? True?What does it mean to be conscious?

@communist @HazardousBanjo Where were you during the last election? Because, yeah, there were plenty of folks who were saying exactly that. Remember 2016 when Susan Sarandon said exactly that?

@ExLisper @Vedlt The cliffhanger in the second movie was legit homage to the old Saturday morning serials ,Buster Crabbe style. Not that I liked it, but I think it's legit. However, there is no forgiving the Ewoks, the yub yub dance, Jar Jar Binks, or a thousand and one other crass marketing grabs. And by the way, Han fucking shot first, mother-fucker.

@Rhynoplaz @bizarroland what greater magic than kindness and compassion? We have that here, you have that power, here, now.

@LordMayor @Vedlt I amused my sweetheart the other night by explaining the Lucas/Kurasawa influence, and pointing out that a katana is not a broadsword but is instead a type of saber, not heavy.

@9tr6gyp3 @stat_rosa it's a predatory marketing issue and consumer capture issue. Notice also you no longer own your windows. It's just a license. But your Linux, like free speech free like free beer. Since there's no money in that, no shareholder return to protect, no politicians to be bought, it will always be a back burner reality in the corporate consumerist world.
