Being fat is a choice the vast majority of the time, and I have a huge bias against big people.

I used to be fat (250ish lbs (110ish kg) at 5'8"ish (172ish cm)), and as much as I would like to blame my shit on anything else, the person feeding me, the person sitting at the computer for hours, the person actively avoiding all physical activity was me and no one else. After I got diagnosed with some weight related shit, I turned my entire life upside down, am at a much healthier 150 lbs (68ish kg), and feel so much better, both physically and mentally.

I'm aware of my bias, and I make every active effort to counter it in my actual dealings with bigger people. Especially because there are certain circumstances, however rarely, where it may not actually be their fault. But I'd be lying if I said my initial impression was anything except "God, what a lazy, fat fuck."

Edit: Added metric units

Yesterday they made higher education less accessible to non-whites, today they made it harder for the poor...

I wonder if there's a pattern here.

As much as I disagree, I upvoted you just for being brave enough to say that.

When I was a kid, I would've thought it was hilarious to be mistaken for an ugly girl. Can't speak for this kid, but it looks like he had fun with it.

I like Ruby most of the time, but honestly, I'm not surprised at "sometimes" behavior from the language created by someone who, when asked for the formal definition of something in the language, said he's "not really a formal kind of guy."

If you're using Wayland, you can go to Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Login Screen (SDDM) and click "Apply Plasma Settings..."

If you're using X11, it looks like you'll have to resort to hacky scripts, unfortunately.

Of course they are. How else are they going to post record-breaking profits for the shareholders?

I'm not a lawyer, but that sounds like classic "constructive dismissal", which qualifies for unemployment in most states. Of course, you'd have to fight for it, which as a college student, would've probably been too expensive and time-consuming. Sorry about the shit boss.

Text is copied to your instance's database, but any images are hosted on the other instances and simply linked to. Worst case scenario, you get told to delete something that's illegal in the country in which you host the instance, you comply, and everything's peachy.

Edit: That being said, I'm currently hosting an instance for myself and a few friends, and it's been smooth-sailing. Just make sure to require email verification or admin approval for new sign-ups (or disable them entirely) if you don't want to be overrun with bots.

The difference between paranoia and fear is the difference between not wanting to buy a Google Home because it listens to you and not wanting to buy a Google Home because you're afraid you'll break it.

It can't be illegal to send you an email outside working hours, that's just silly. Now if it's illegal to demand that you read it and respond outside working hours, I would understand.

You also don't have to reboot when Discover says to. It's just saying that the updates won't take effect until you reboot. It could probably be worded better, for sure.

legal liability

You register at the DMCA website and respond timely to DMCA requests, while doing a decent enough job moderating.

That's literally it.

I'm out of the loop on DDG, what did they do?

Hard agree. The animals didn't do anything wrong. :(

Relieving debt for the poor would allow them to spend their money on other things, or save it. Best case scenario, they're able to support their kids' educations and help break the generational cycle of poverty.

The obsession with Hunter is fucking weird as hell. And he seems to live rent free in their heads.

I was talking to my conservative brother and made a joke about drugs or something, and he immediately said "Just watch out for Hunter Biden! Hahaha!"

It wasn't even a political conversation, I just mistook a smoke shop sign for something else and joked about it! I don't even think I can name Trump's kids except Eric. And I don't know fucking anything about them. Why do they care about Hunter when he's not even the fucking president, it's so bizarre.

I mean. I can't because I defederated from Threads. But neat, I guess.

Never knew I wanted a Blade game from the Dishonored team, but now I need it.

The only real difference between Windows and Linux is that the first starts out as a tech nightmare and the second ends up that way. I use both regularly for both work and play, I've seen the good, bad, and ugly of both.
