KillingTimeItself

that’s actually a better argument for me ironically.

Europe is more densely populated, among a smaller landmass (if we explicitly refer to western europe) making it MORE likely that any mass violence events hurt more random people.

Where as the US has LESS people, across MORE space, making it even more unlikely for you to be involved in these attacks, because people are simply less likely to be in those places, at the time of the attack.

Of course the US has disproportionately more acts of violence against other people, than somewhere like europe, but there are a variety of reasons this could be the case, but it’s questionable whether this makes you “significantly” more likely to experience an attack, considering you also spend “considerably less” time around other people in general.

Also to be clear, it’s literally just true, america is a huge fucking country. If you include eastern europe, which i don’t think is a fair comparison given that eastern europe is historically and demographically different from western europe (the usual examples provided) The entire continent is slightly bigger than the continental US including alaska. If you remove all of eastern europe, it shrinks considerably. (and this may include part of russia? I can’t find solid numbers)

And looking at wikipedia, seems to imply that a portion of russia is included, so if that calculates into the landmass, that’s substantially throwing it off. I mean to be clear, you would comparing the population and landmass of the european continent against the US, which is not the entire north american continent, that is SIGNIFICANTLY larger than the US is alone.

Classic American exceptionalism.

maybe research your point better before yapping.

and it regularly involves a specific group of people, often times doesn’t really even involve every day normal people, as opposed to a mass shooting, where the literal point is killing normal people.

i mean, the US is also fucking huge compared to somewhere like europe, so that “wrong place” is the entire continental US.

ok?

So what if i just argued that “cocksucker” just meant that you would suck someones cock if you got you something. I.E. you’re easily bribed/manipulated. As far as i know, that’s how most people use it.

That’s literally the implication like 99% of the time. If you wanted to insult someone for being gay, you would just call them a faggot or something lmao. No need to mince words at that point.

what about it?

i was not ready for the furry posting, but here i am

it really is so true.

you install linux on one machine, and then suddenly every other machine you own has linux on it, ssh, and you use shit like rsync to manage shit over the network. Before you know it you’re running a snapcast server to manage multiroom audio automatically configured into your smart home network. (i haven’t gotten this far yet, but it’s eventually going to happen lol)

The pipeline is real.

excuse me good sir, i would like to inform you that i am running i3wm on my arch workstation, therefore, i am superior to you :) good day sir. or madam, or whatever you please, this was intended as a shitpost and has quickly outgrown it’s skin, oopsies.

as a chronic documentation reader, the best advice i can give is to document everything Anything that the user can and will potentially interact with, should be extensively documented, including syntax and behavior. Write it like you’re coming back to the project in 5 years after having done nothing and you want to be able to skip right to using it. When we build something ourselves, we often hold a bit of internal knowledge from the design process that never quite goes away, so it’s almost always a lot easier for us to reverse engineer something we’ve made, than it is for someone else with zero fore-knowledge to do it themselves.

Generally this can be a bit of a nightmare, but if you minimize the user facing segment it’s not all that bad, because it’s usually pretty minimal, and what would otherwise be a handful of pages, turns into 10 or maybe 15.

as for existing documentation, the i3wm user guide is really good, it’s pretty minimalist but it leaves you enough to be able to manage.
