I am Stine. Comfort the afflicted. Afflict the comfortable. High School Wrestler™. Can usually correctly use the past tense in French. Suffers from clinical depression. @stinerman@mastodon.social on Mastodon.
In terms of what he got done, he’s easily the most left wing President since LBJ. Perhaps FDR. Whether or not that is defined as left-wing/leftist/liberal is a matter of opinion.
Linux copyrights are owned by many different people, so it would be prohibitively difficult to ask every person to agree to a GPLv3 change. Even if you could, Linus Torvalds is not a fan of the v3 license.
I do not. Not as long as Jimmy Wales is involved with it. I strongly disagree with his objectivist philosophy.
There are certainty worse places to send your money, though.
I say “Jesus, Mary, and Joseph” as an exclamation to this day.
I haven’t done it myself, but I plan to watch a bunch of pre-Hays Code movies from the late 20s and early 30s. Many of these movies are in the public domain and more are entering it for the next few years.
They’ve already said that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn’t exist.
Yes. Me included.
You got to touch a girl’s boobies.
Legally he’s only got 2 terms. However as my government teacher explained, the constitution says what the Supreme Court says it says. So who knows what they’ll say about it.
Jesus Christ, dude.
You can do “2009” as “twenty oh 9”, but that feels kinda awkward. “Two thousand nine” has the same number of syllables (4). “Twenty ten” is 3. “Two thousand ten” is 4.
Even “1900” is “nineteen hundred” (4) vs “one thousand nine hundred” (6).
ETA: I’m the class of “Oh two” rather than “zero two” because the former is one less syllable.
I work in a particularly niche area (home infusion/home medical equipment) and while HL7 and FHIR are indeed things, practically no software that was built for those lines of business had any sort of module for that. We have a FHIR interface now and…no one uses it. They prefer faxes.
For me it was
2000: Two thousand
2001: Two thousand one (or less formally “oh one”)
2009: Two thousand nine (“oh nine”)
2010: Twenty ten
And from there on. I think this is because of the amount of syllables. That’s why we switch to “twenty” instead of “two thousand”.
I work with healthcare software so I can echo most of what you’re saying.
The thing is the lowest common denominator is a fax (usually a fax server that creates a PDF or TIFF of what comes over the wire), so that’s what people go with. It’s the interoperability between different systems that’s the problem. There’s no one standard…except for faxes.
We’ll see if I go back to the mental hospital but I don’t foresee it happening unless work gets really bad again.
I’ve already internalized that this country is populated by shitty, hateful people. Trump winning again just confirms what I already knew.
Was gonna say everyone with impostor syndrome thinks their life is this.
My sister put liquid dish soap in the dishwasher.
I’m sure that will be blamed on someone else. Probably trans people.
I agree with many people here that it’s up to her. It’s her life and she’s going to live it how she wants. How you feel about it doesn’t matter. I think what she’s doing is morally objectionable because it turns a relationship that should be about caring and mutual affection and all those flowery concepts and turns it into a financial transaction. He gets companionship and sex and she gets money and not having to work (I assume). But once again, this is her decision.
How do you manage this? You either accept that or you don’t. You get to determine if you want to be part of her life or not. Perhaps this is too much for you. Perhaps not. But your only options are to accept the arrangement or not.
