What's happened is the US judicial system has decided that if you make a fireman or policeman legally liable, then everyone has to be. Meaning if you see that your neighbor is in an emergency situation, it's not enough to call 911, you have to respond and can be found liable, if emergency responders are.

It's stupid.

Oh, I don't know. There's lots of towns across the US that only came to be because it was a water stop. And in those towns the tracks still exist and the people living there commute to work.

The little town I grew up in had a trainyard and that's why it existed. The yard is gone but there's still active train lines going through town.

And per usual, there are people who claim issues of attraction and consent are transphobic

I've been tempted to do this for things like egg salad sandwiches and potato salad.

I feel like they tried to learn from BSG without bringing in Ronald D Moore for insight, and just said, hmm, yes, the things that make BSG work so well are depression and alcoholism.

If you like that one and you've never seen the original Rat Pack Ocean's Eleven movie, do yourself a favor and watch it. It's not deep, it's not fantastic cinema, but it's entertaining as heck.

Obligatory I use Arch, BTW

But dependencies for proprietary software are part of why I use the Steam Flatpak. It doesn't matter what other community and AUR packages are installed, the Steam Flatpak is unaffected by that for the most part.

I really do think something like Flatpak could lead to more Linux adoption. Package management played an important role but sometimes it can be a hindrance IMHO

I was looking at Twitter earlier, and my feed was full of antivaxxers, election deniers, some anti-abortion activist that claims that Planned Parenthood is involved in sex trafficking, and even 9/11 deniers.

Twitter is a dead man walking

Oh, I bought the second one for parts but it turned out to be in better shape than my old one. So I moved a bunch of the parts from the first one over to the second, because neither was working before I did that.
