It’s absolutely possible and there are several studies on the subject going back to 2020. Probably a part of why people are getting sick with things like RSV more regularly too.

for the purposes of this survey, Dippy is 100% a tankie. Read it in their own words:

Unfortunately one of the problems with tankies is they don’t call themselves that most of the time.

No I’m not [a tankie].

Dippy’s a tankie, you heard it here first. This person loves crushing people with tanks. This person is an authoritarian monster that crushes people with tanks. Dippy’s actually the tank driver in the tank man photo. Don’t look up the video, Dippy 100% crushed that dude. Any video showing tankman walk away is an AI fabrication.

A ridiculous question. “Tankie” isn’t a term anyone self-identifies with, it’s mostly a term used by liberals to hurl at anyone to the left of them or anyone who agrees with western foreign policy. The survey results will be as meaningless as the term “tankie” itself.

I used Ubuntu for a long time, because it was easy to use and I wasn’t really a power user on linux (was just using it on a cheap laptop for classes a long time ago). When I built a server for myself recently, I didn’t really explore distros and plopped Ubuntu on it.

More recently, I got a new laptop and ended up installing Fedora on it. So far, I like Fedora a lot. I know there’s probably a better distro out there for me, but this one worked without fiddling and I’m liking it a lot more than Ubuntu. Ubuntu snaps kinda screwed my server for a year or so. I need to replace Ubuntu on that soon, I’m just not looking forward to dealing with that so it silently stays Ubuntu.

Probably Contact. I cried at the line:

Andre 3000 making a flute album was unexpected and I wasn’t even in a coma for 20 years. It’s good

I know we’re talking about characters, but Bashir’s actor was born in Sudan, is half Sudanese, and his birth name is “Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim El Mahdi” as an FYI.

that’s right

It stands for Ubiquitous Software, so it’s “you be soft”.

Well hey, that’s why it’s an unpopular opinion!

Your method of wrapping deadly “opinions” in a bubbly facade should get you rejected from every public forum.

I guess my other unpopular music opinion is that I still buy music. I guess ANOTHER unpopular music opinion is that I think algorithmic suggestions aren’t great and ultimately limit the kinds of music one is exposed to if that’s their only source of new music.

We’re in the best time to listen to music. There’s amazing stuff out there. It just doesn’t come to you automatically, you’ve got to seek it out.

Now, it’s a pretty bad time to be an artist trying to make a living. But it’s also the easiest time to DIY music.

Huh I wonder if covid also causes any sort of mental health disorders. Wonder if it causes any health disorders. Wonder if it causes any death disorders.

My use case is incredibly simple, but I really like Jerboa.

I flubbed one stat that doesn’t really move the needle on the point I was trying to make. I was thinking of world powers and didn’t double check to make sure nations scorned by empire didn’t barely hedge the US out of the top 5 on per capita (though another of its territories made it).

America is a remarkably “authoritarian” country by all standards whether they be prisons, police spending, or military spending.

Now include Guam and Puerto Rico, which are US territories.

The proper term is social democratic. Socialism has a simple and specific definition. Those Nordic countries have changed nothing about who owns the means of production and therefore have no relation to socialism.

What country has the biggest prison population both by raw numbers and on a per capital basis?
