  • That virus video has way too much free real estate in my head. Every time someone says "a virus" it gets all echoey in my head

  • has been eliminated

  • Avoiding fertility tests is a crime

  • I would say yes, but I tried using Duke Cannon soap on my hands for a while and it dried them out something fierce

  • I worked in a produce department for a bit and the lettuce definitely had dirt and the occasional bug in it before we trimmed and rinsed it

  • If it's hard Rs you want, just put on any episode where O'Brien is mad at the Cardassians

  • But "was killed" is literally a passive construction

  • One of my greatest fears is that there is a fourth dimension of space where they are watching us, only inches away. Waiting.

  • No kidding, sometimes I have to take a napkin and wipe most of it off. Really excessive.

  • Better than "you'll"

  • Honestly I'm probably just going to keep mining the 60s-00s for music like I always have. Now that I have a job and less time to find music I'll probably never run out lol

  • I'm sorry, is this comment a reference to something?

  • I had the exact same thing happen to me once, except I didn't get an ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE warning. It just listed a bunch of packages like it always did, except this time it was listing packages it was about to remove, not packages that could be upgraded like it usually does. That was 8 years ago, so maybe they added the warning some time after that? But by that point I'd already dealt with enough issues that I just lost all motivation to use Linux as a desktop anymore. It's just always something.

  • For me it's because everyone made a big deal of having a "personal relationship" with God, but nobody was on the other end

  • Snoop Doggs? In my gin and juice?

  • It's a reference to a copypasta.

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

    Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
