I should have realized this was about an inheritance. Enjoy your land tainted by years of awful memories. Maybe you can sell it and buy those years back with your kids.

It sounds like there may be something to be gained by cutting them off. Ten more years of damage to you, your wife, and your children is a lot. What does continuing to put up with them get you?

Any time. I had to check to remember how.

Definitely drink milk from the bottom of your bag though, that’s fine and normal.

That’s a great teacher. Refusing to teach a technology only leads to poor use. Even if one thinks it’s a poor technology, teach THAT instead of just black boxing the topic. The bottle is open, the genie is out. Better to teach how to make legally airtight wishes than to ban wishmaking.

I refuse to update.

You clearly know more about this than I do, and you’ve thought a lot about it. Your points deserve a better response than I can give at this time, but I wanted to acknowledge that at least. I also wanted to say you aren’t pedantic and I’m sorry I said that. You spent time and thought on making a good conversation and I wish I had been more engaging with that instead of trying to be correct. Thank you for still conversing instead of arguing even after I was less than perfect of a conversation partner. I hope in the future I see more of your comments. Have a really nice day.

You’re right, you are being pedantic.

Edit: Actual response. You took time to type all that out, I should at least say why I disagree.

WINE is a compatibility layer. A translator. It helps a non-native language speaker speak the native language. The whole reason WINE exists is to make a non-native executable execute outside of its native environment. Even if the code is very functionally similar to something like .NET, the function of WINE is to enable non-native code to run as though it were designed for Linux. Downloading WINE doesn’t suddenly make those .EXE files be retroactively designed with Linux in mind. It’s still not native code.

Windows does what Nintendon’t? Wait, that’s not it…

That is correct, but a compatibility layer is also not native execution of a binary.

Wait, 11 tastes like goat barn and frankincense?

Natively run Windows software. Do I win?

How would you like them to fund their providing you with this data?

I feel like that’s the official answer that they came up with to explain the differences in the settings between the films. It works, but only because there was a problem for it to fix.

That bothered me too. I binged them all before Fury Road and it was a real whiplash to go from “All the houses are smashed up, there’s bits of siding everywhere and everyone has guns” to “These people live their whole lives on stilts in a fetid swamp like some sort of crazy flamingo men, but that doesn’t matter right now, keep driving”. It seems like more time would have to pass.

You’re honestly hilarious.

See, this is why people have problems with ML and hexbears. How will you ever bring the revolution when you can’t stop screeching? Nobody wants that. Nobody wants to be around it. You’ll be a revolution of one because nobody can take being around such an abrasive asshole long enough to even listen to their points, much less realize they might be right.

Imagine somebody walking down the street. They see a poster on the wall of the store they pass. It’s a Starbucks. “Looks tasty, I’m cold” they say. Suddenly, you’re there, shrieking about labor rights and fair trade. You are without a doubt correct, but you’ve scared the person and now they’re annoyed. One of those drones inside with the green hats comes out and sees the situation. They ask the customer to come inside where they’re safe from you, and now they’re buying overpriced drinks from exploited workers produced by exploited farmers etc.

All because instead of talking to someone like a human, you had to be edgy and witty. You treat real humans the way tv characters talk to each other. On TV the wittiest oneo-liner wins. In real life you have to show a little human compassion, even if you’re faking it or else you alienate who you’re talking to and are left in an echo chamber, alone, or in the case of our imagined scenario the employees may call security or police (agents of oppression, and they’ll probably buy coffee too) on a person harassing potential customers.

Love how at the very idea of somebody disagreeing with you, you start throwing up all sorts of topics you know are hot buttons just so you can preemptively slam anyone who has a different perspective than you. Rather than taking a second to teach a single thing about the topics you claim to care about you just flash them like political merit badges to prove you’re in the in-group, and anybody who doesn’t know exactly what one of those things are, or what you think is the truth about it, is worth dismissing out of hand. It’s just a secret handshake that if people don’t parrot it back to you they’re not worth debating. You were never here for healthy debate though. You don’t care about convincing anyone or advancing your causes or ideas. You’re here for the badges.

In a toga, that changes the audience age rating.
