Good thing Apple refuses to let me update old hardware, so it stays vulnerable.

If this is you as well, look into Open Core Legacy Patcher. Allows the newer MacOS versions on older hardware.

Did you seriously make a post just to bad-mouth a kid who died?

You’re a piece of work.

How’re ya now?

There isn’t a tea shop within >100 miles (160km) of me, so there is that. There is a café where you can buy tea at the gift shop.

I get that plastics are amazing stuff and all, but maaaaybe tea bags don’t need to be plastic.

Around the world, dramatic swings between heavy rain and drought are increasing exponentially, according to new research.

House shoes. Been out in the slush and salt a lot, so I can’t just wear my boots like i prefer.

A lot of the so-called “high quality gifs” are too hard to read for me. I have vision issues though, so I’m atypical.

The “absurd” is usually the whole joke with Far Side. I grew up around cows, too. They’re so dumb and mundane, he plays on that a lot.

When I was a kid, we had a state park near our house. We would go there and there would be these Japanese tourists abandoning their cars to go try to hand feed deer. To me, they’re just a pest that eats our garden. But to the tourists, they were amazed.

I didnt get it until I visited Yellowstone and we abandoned our car to chase a bull moose (which is dangerously dumb, don’t do it.)

His lawyer doing double-duty as a Marketing team, I see.

Good. Learn to swim. See you down in the Arizona bay.

They do and it gets lambasted. My point stands

My favorites for fiction would be Neal Stephenson,Roger Zelazny, Fritz Leiber, Ursula Le Guin, Stephen R. Donaldson, Charles Bukowski, Iain Banks, Frederick Pohl, Glen Cook, Jim Butcher

I enjoyed them but as I recall it stays weird. I’m into that, though. My favorites are mostly pretty weird.

Yeah, that’s actually one point where I think the books were a bit weak. To me, she already was the mad Queen. How many people were slaughtered at her command in the books? If John Snow had slaughtered whole cities because they wouldn’t bend the knee, we could be expected to say some mean things about him.

Which, while they are quite good, they feel like the least “Stephen King” of his novels, even the bachman books.

Aka, the South Park defense.

Now you get it. A slur doesn’t become not a slur just because it has other meanings

e.g, evaluate this hypothetical statement by fictional commenter Chad Dudebro:

“Calling him a (f-slur) doesn’t mean OP is homophobic. Being a (f-slur) is a state of mind.”

It ain’t the same level of offensive, but “boomer” is obviously an agist slur. Its just that no one cares because its okay to hate old people.

So if someone called a gay person f-slur, its okay because words have different meanings. Got it.
