That’s just God telling you to go to the bad gateway.

Gaia is such a slut.

Hey no problem! And I didn’t mean anything by it; my reply could have been read with snark included, and I definitely didn’t intend it. Good on you for taking breaks when you need to. You’re good people, and the world needs more of you.

Ellen Pao.

That’s so reddit.

Our subdivision was built in about 2004. They didn’t put dark fiber in the ground, for some reason. It took about fifteen years for a private company to come in and lay fiber. I had Comcast/Xfinity at the time (I think it was 250Mb, and definitely asynchronous), who had already started sending out their promotions for gigabit internet service, so I called them up to see if I could get that. “That’s only available if you get internet and TV and phone.”

Oh, so you can give me just gigabit internet, but you won’t give me just gigabit internet.

It was another year before the fiber service was lit, I was the first person to get it in my neighborhood, and it is absolutely fantastic.

Sure, but they really should be describing it as 10Gb (gigabit). Even that could easily get confused with 10GB (gigabyte), which would be used for a file size.

All you have to do is think about this reasonably (I know, I know). Undocumented immigrants to the US want to come here so badly that they’re willing to do it outside of the law. They know full well that if they get caught just for that, they’re in a fuckload of trouble. It is clearly in the immediate, direct, and personal best interest of an undocumented immigrant to stay well clear of law enforcement. This means - wait for it - not breaking any other laws.

Undocumented immigrants have a very strong incentive to be absolutely well-behaved.

That’s fair, but it stands to reason that if a Microsoft web product isn’t super compatible with its own desktop product, a third party would be less so.

Who’s not interested in whose opinion now?

That you’ve employed a slippery slope analogy far too widely?

I have also hired exterminators and taken antibiotics.

Unpopular opinion: Word, Excel, and Powerpoint are free on the web. Yes, you need a Microsoft account. Would it be ideal to use a FOSS product? Maybe. But schools and workplaces have a preference for Microsoft Office, so the specific skills in that office suite are going to more easily translate to real world situations, and there will be a lower chance of compatibility issues when sharing documents with other people or organizations, in either direction.

You shall not think of living things in hierarchical order (x is better than y)

Having to choose between my child and my dog would be a horrible choice to have to make, but I know exactly how I would make it.

Karl Marx agrees.

Confirmed: I have been a loser for fifteen years.

Texas has entered the chat.

Oh! You didn’t turn it upside down! It’s free!

I mean, what do expect? The guy lured other dudes to give up their lives and follow him around, saying he was making them “fishers of men.”
