That only happened because the Puppies are having a prolonged temper tantrum about If You Were A Dinosaur, My Love being nominated for a Hugo two years ago
I guess this comes to show that life is like a garden, beautiful things grow out of shit
beautiful things like the phrase "Hugo award nominated metafictional gay porn author Chuck Tingle"
crocodiles and alligators practically aren't even reptiles. they're too venerable for that. i say they're just crocodiliforms or whatenot
Archosaurs decendants, like the birds.
However, due to ancient alliances, we are classified with the reptiles, who are classified with the amphibians in Herpetology, and due to ancient betrayals, we are not classified with our nearest cousins, the birds.
Ornithologists simply don't know their history, thinking everything's about lineage and genetics. Misguided idealistic fools, who will one day be betrayed by the aves.
Look Mr. Walrus, just because the Carpenter ended up getting more oysters than you this time doesn't mean you're not on his side.
Yeah, they're both scumbags. Those oysters were sentient, and had a mother!
*extremely Less Wrong voice* Actually the Walrus is nice, and a good friend of mine, and I believe you will find that the Grey Tribe *descends into five billion pounds of raw verbiage*
I disagree with Randall. Ornithologists aren't jerks, they're just idealistic and young, with no knowledge of history.
Just like the placental mammals abandoned their Monotreme cousins and their marsupial half-siblings from the non-australia continents, the Aves disavowed their scaly heritage for feathers and endothermy.
The early Aves were really close to the Dinosaurs, that loss hit everyone hard, and things haven't been the same since.
Of course, it's nothing compared to the permian.
okay, I'll stop pretending that the fossil record is some sort of narrative, I'll leave that to actual paleontologists.

The discourse around superhero movies is fucked, I don't care what Kexruct says
Man, that's mean. Could you try to respect the idea that Kex has thought out his opinions too? I don't like The Discourse either but I'm also displeased with such plain-faced rudeness.
Customer wanted data retrieved off of it, which is fine. However, she's giving the computer away to another person. It's still running Windows XP and I cannot in good conscience suffer an XP install to exist while I can do something about it. Problem is, Ubuntu won't even run on it: The 8400's got a Pentium 4 with 1 GB of RAM, and Ubuntu wants something slightly more capable.
I don't even have XP install media in the shop. What do I do? Do I just leave the install there? Do I wipe it blank? Can I even find a modern Linux that will run on early 2000s hardware?
You are going to have to run an copy of Ubuntu that is no longer supported. Or you just tell them hey you have XP this thing is as good as hacked and you can't put a newer OS on it. I'm getting the data off of this but you need to throw it out.
"Accidentally" drop a big hammer on it instead? Why the fuck anyone would bother with a P4 laptop in tyool 2016 is beyond me.
Goons can be such technology snobs
I'm not gonna encourage anyone to run XP but if you have a functioning computer that can't run anything newer, it's stupid to throw it out
Of course, the answer here is "don't use Ubuntu", or at least, "use the alternate install and put LXDE on".

weird confession: the word “neoreactionary” is forever associated in my mind with the Mask of the Father from Dark Souls
there is something about this that is strangely apt, but I'm not entirely sure what.
I am not entirely clear on what a neoreactionary even is but irt feel appropriate.
"democracy is barely better than fascism, we need a king like in the good old days, here is my very long and obtuse blog post explaining why. also i probably hate black people"
Okay tumblr just drop that with no context or proof that's a good idea
I remember seeing some credible-ish-maybe stuff about it a while ago? I haven't cared to look too much into it and it's why I haven't said anything about it

It always was kind of unsettling how many Tumblr users don't seem to have any concept of slander or libel.
Like, they take normal teenage gossiping but extend it to things like accusations of rape, without any indication of understanding how serious a claim that is.

i say this seriously
