Which is especially weird, considering that the official Mandarin name for the CCP is “Zhōngguó Gòngchǎndǎng”, the first word of which is the Mandarin word for “Chinese.” The literal translation yields the common name, not the special name that MLs insist is the only acceptable one.

He got snippy about someone PRing gender-neutral language, calling it “politically motivated.” His explanation was that they hadn’t sent previous PRs, which seems like a stupid reason to reject that one; some people are better with language than they are at code, so they’re more helpful fixing comments than fixing bugs.

That said, trans people were never mentioned, and the fight for gender-neutral language long predates any significant public awareness of trans people; also, “meltdown” seems like an exaggeration. He was somewhat rude, but not completely unhinged.

No-one seems to be long-term greedy anymore.

The CCP seems to factor this into at least some of their decisions. Their infrastructure projects (like any infrastructure projects) take years, sometimes decades, to pay off, but boy howdy do they pay off.

Makes Stencil worse and Swashbuckler and Gift Card better.

Between my bad Internet connection and my apparent tendency to be the very last person who decides to download any given torrent, I just gave up and paid my private tracker to ignore my seed ratio ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s peak Boomer. Anti-woke and wife bad.

They keep getting new photos, so she might be in on it.

Israel is an even stranger member of the post than Taiwan IMO.

The average person can’t use Mac or Windows efficiently either lol

“‘cigarette’ is short for ‘meatball’” is certainly a sentence.

Unless you’re poor enough to be on welfare. The Welfare Cliff is awful.

Yeah, the Welfare Cliff is the only place where this happens and it’s unconscionable.

Communism threatens capital. Fascism mostly does not.

But that’s the problem: their only goal is to beat the other team. That’s why telling the truth isn’t enough and we have to do other things, like deplatform reactionary ghouls.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is better than Hamlet. Sure, it had the benefit of an extra couple of centuries of progress in art, but I think it still counts.

Not sure what you’re trying to accomplish with this post.

Probably trying to stop OP from typing ll in a distro where it doesn’t exist and getting even more entrenched in their belief that Linux is hard.

As Hasan Piker often says, lying is OP. You can’t hope to compete on even footing with someone when you’re constrained by facts and they are not. Plus, Owens probably still has some backing from the capitalist class.
