Is this going to be like Starship Troopers, where everyone comes back a decade later and says it was good, actually?

Even better: she's from the Nez Perce tribe, who do still live in the general area they originally came from. Which isn't always a given for very violent and racist reasons.

So he doesn't come from there, his ancestors definitely didn't come from there, and hers very much did.

Remember: when something in your kitchen is on fire, it's a good idea to pull your phone out and take a pic before getting the fire extinguisher. You never know how many likes you could have get.

A huge number of apps these days are web sites compiled into an app, and it shows. For example, an app should be able to remember your address and payment information without signing into an account, yet so many don't. Almost like they want to force you into signing up. Why might that be?

Just give me a mobile web page if you're going to do that shit.

Unpopular opinion: "Open Source", spawned from Netscape spinning off Mozilla, laid out in definition by the OSI organization, and advocated for by AnCaps like Eric S. Raymond, was always fundamentally capitalist. Devs spending a lot of free time doing free work for companies was not an accident. Capitalists borrowing ideas from the left and twisting them for their own uses is not new, either.

Free Software is more rooted in communism. You're doing this to help your community. RMS might have always denied it--probably because it wasn't a good idea to advocate that way during the Cold War and after--but it's a better philosophical fit.

It's past time to divorce the two.

Yes, and was a member of the EU parliament until recently. Both his parents were pretty radical. Linus tends to keep his politics private for the most part.

Remember when everyone was praising Bolton for going against Trump? This is why you don't simp too hard for people who have already shown who they are but happen to do one good thing.

Next: Liz Cheney.

If it were real, that'd be an incredibly dangerous thing to do--even with a life preserver vest--and a physically taxing one, as well. Neither of which Trump would be doing.

I tried to make blowjob videos that don't suck, but nobody wanted to watch them.

Picard swapped his brain into an android body. It wasn't very good writing.

"‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God." - Leviticus 19:9, 10

First off, nobody takes Marxism by itself. If it's accepted, it's always with extra things attached and other parts removed.

Second, my issue in this case is the Lennist part. A vanguard party degrades into cult-like behavior, and this is very consistent with ML groups big and small.
