  • There’s a guy in the world of pro wrestling named Jim Cornette that said a quote this reminds me of.

    Cornette is known for holding grudges, and being hateful. He keeps a shitlist of people he hates.

    Well in the 1980s he was working for a wrestling company, and hated one of his coworkers for a year. Then a new guy came in and was so much worse.

    Then one day he says to the first guy “You know, you used to be at the top of my shit list, but with all these new fuckheads coming in, you managed to move down a few spots simply by not doing anything!”










  • I like Android. If linux would be like Android, it would take off and be probably a lot more advanced than it is now. It’s currently built as a cell phone OS, because that’s what it is.

    But if someone made a desktop android, that worked on raspberry pi, and pc’s, and could be self contained on a usb stick like you can with linux??? THAT distro might be the thing to beat Windows. Especially if it was free and open source.

    Right now, on android, you can use terminal. Before I knew what terminal was, I downloaded it on an old rooted phone 10 years ago.

    So YOU can do all the terminal stuff you want in this hypothetical desktop Android. But don’t make ME do stuff that I don’t understand.

    Right now, standard linux is essentially a keyboard OS. Where the bulk of important functions come from the keyboard. Windows is a mouse OS where the bulk of important functions happen with a mouse.

    And of the two styles, I prefer mouse. You prefer keyboard, but linux CAN do both…it just chooses not to.

    Give me a distro where they don’t even include terminal. You can download it if you want, but it’s not standard.

    So I don’t see why you’re saying Android is some kind of insult. I like Android.



  • Well. Right now, putin is in an unwinable war. He CAN’T win given his lack of superior quality war machines and materials. His lack of combat experienced military personel, and his lack of air defenses. They’re losing literal thousands of personel (mostly soldiers) every single day.

    If putin loses, he dies. He will be forcefully removed from his position and executed. He knows this. The united states knows this. Everybody in the situation knows this. Which is why for a very long time, nobody would allow Ukraine to use their weapons deep into russia in an effort to curb escalation. Because back against the wall, with no other possibility for winning the war, putin is going to eventually use nukes. He’s going to use nukes when it’s a situation of “fuck it, I’m going to die anyways. Nuke em.”

    And as each day passes, russia gets further and further into a state of permanent national destability. This war is going to harm them for generations. Even before the war, they hadn’t replenished their population to pre-WWII levels. This is on-par with that. That should give you an idea of how badly this is going to damage their next 40 years. Hundreds of thousands of young men all dead. And eventually, russia will run out of men to send to the war. That’s when putin pushes the button. He’s going to nuke Ukraine. Probably Kiev. And it will happen before this war is over. Unlike hitler just killing himself and his wife, putin is going to try to take everybody down with him. Because that’s how big his ego is.

    Only question is…does he ONLY fire at Kiev? Does he just go balls out and nuke everybody instead? Scorched earth kind of thing.

    Only time will tell. If we live to tell the tale.
