  • You don’t own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon

    I don’t own mine because I pirated them

    We are not the same

    edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I’m much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction… I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

    No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don’t think using “thicc” is any more than using “cool” is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).

    “OH LAWD” in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.







  • I’ve gone back and forth between a common bashrc file in my Dropbox folder that is symlinked to ~/.bashrc on my devices, and one that is imported from a regular bashrc instead, and recently it ended up in a state where it accidentally tried to do both, resulting in an endless loop. I discovered this on my Pop!_OS PC, which reacted to this situation by crashing on login lol. What??
