  • I love that Larson could make this joke with or without the twist on Mary Had A Little Lamb.

    Like, it would feel just as much a Far Side comic if her name were Nancy and she had been followed by a duck.

  • What were we just talking about?

  • I'd welcome any beginner tips you have!

    I have Linux installed on a raspberry pi, using "Pi OS", which I understand to be some form of Debian? I've learned enough to comfortably SSH into it and navigate around my file system, as well as write some really basic Python programs for the pi using nano.

    I've only been at it casually for a few weeks, so that's about the extent of my knowledge.

  • Lol, sorry to disappoint, but no I don't.

    I also don't use Linux. (Well, that's not totally true now, because I've been learning to use for a hobby project lately).

  • Turns out the city doesn't have flamboyantly dressed supervillains at all. Batman is just running around Gotham, sleep deprived as hell, grabbing confused commuters by the shoulders and accusing them of being The Penguin.

  • Now I'm imagining someone legitimately putting their Jan6 involvement on a resume.

  • Is there more to life?

  • I've read some weird takes about 9/11 already.

    Jump

  • It made the world weird - especially politics. I still attribute the extreme polarization that we see today to the aftermath of 9/11.

    Don't get me wrong, I know people had strong opinions before 2001, but it didn't seem like political party was as significant a part of the average person's identity like it is now.

  • I like the way you type.

  • Motivation to start

    Jump

  • I think a lot of creative types don't get over that, but I know some start by doing it for themselves and then it's just a bonus if anyone else likes it.

  • US men are dying much earlier than women, as death 'gender gap' widens: Study

    Jump

  • They talk about a few causes, but this is the gist of it for anyone who doesn't want to click:

    Researchers cited the pandemic as the biggest factor in the widening gender gap; it took a heavier toll on men. Unintentional injuries and poisonings (mostly drug overdoses), accidents and suicide were other contributors.
