    Why are you so triggered by biology and reality?

    I'm triggered by it?  Not you and Ron for being in such utter *denial*
    of this?  At least Ron has the excuse he's been brainwashed by the

    see why this would exist.

    I'm confused.  Maybe 'cause I didn't read the whole thread, and I'm responding to just your last rant.

    Ron and I are in denial of what?

    Why are you frothing?  Is it that you think men can get pregnant?

    Do you actually think your online boyfriend is a female just because he plays dress-up?


    Trans men can get pregnant. My GF is a trans woman. If you are such an atheist and all about "biology" [science], you would get that
    development is complex, and the genetic sex doesn't always match gender identity based on atypical development.

    But go back to talking about "dress-up", heh. Lame.

    96 in 100 say "Not much".

    Honestly, people who choose Linux don't really need the Microsoft,
    Adobe or Apple stuff. You can easily live without Microsoft Office by
    installing WPS Office or compromising with LibreOffice. If that's not
    good enough, relying on the web versions like vallor does will do the
    trick (albeit without all the functionality). As for not having the
    Adobe stuff, not everyone manipulates images. In fact, practically no
    one does. If they _absolutely_ need to use Photoshop, they can do so on
    Windows or Mac, but what percentage of people do?

    I didn't even use Adobe or Microsoft crap when I used Windows. So
    definitely not a big loss for me these past twenty years.

    The library project has given me insights into the average computer user.
    I certainly use a browser, email, and so forth like a 'normal' person but I've primarily used computers for software development since the Z80 days. Most of the tools I use are cross platform. I've done very little image stuff and it was painful. I don't use office software other than read only if someone sends me a xlsx or docx file.

    I used Windows at work since the sites used Windows although much of the development was done on Linux. Since that is no longer a necessity my one remaining Windows 11 laptop is folded up, a convenient shelf for the RPi
    and phone.

    Most users could just about get away with using Chromebooks. I wouldn't wish them on anyone, now that I've tested them, but for most (or at least many( folks they would work fine.

    I figured out that Anal was a leftist. Why am I not even remotely

    Being a Woke leftist is one thing. Being ignorant of obvious facts is

    No sexual abuse problems in Hollywood... Yeah, right.

    You would think that by now, the Operation Mockingbird sources Anal
    relies on would have admitted that Harvey Weinstein was a problem or
    that Hollywood actresses do allow themselves to be groomed at a young
    age in exchange for roles. Oh wait, they did: Anal just purposefully
    ignored them in order to needlessly argue here in Snit-like fashion.

    Apparently not just Weinstein, Disney seems to a have serious grooming issue >> with child actors.

    Or at least did. Hopefully the Weinstein jailing has made child actor
    parents more vigilant by now.

    I'm still pissed that Magic Kingdom cost my wife and I $600 a ticket
    when we went there last week. There is absolutely nothing special about
    the place that it would cost that much. Orlando was nice, but the Disney stuff is a serious rip-off.

    When they were little (my oldest kids) we took them to Disneyland when I was working at 29 Psalms Marine Base (installing phone switches). I think for
    all of us the cost was about $150. When I was teenager (living in Ventura) they had CB (Construction Battalion) night. (The base is in Port Hueneme.)
    My brother had a friend in the CBs (Seabees) and I think our full night
    (till 12) tickets were $15. The place was almost empty and all the rides
    were included. (This was back in the days of E tickets, etc.)

    $600 a ticket is just pure insanity. And I hear a big chunk of DisneyWorld
    is shut down.

    It's always Microsoft Office or niche products like overpriced Adobe crap
    that Windows FUDsters point to. As if Linux users give a crap.

    My apologies for commandeering your post to respond to the DuFuS.

    I don't mind at all. You're entirely correct, either way. I mean, I use Windows to run open-source applications. The only reason I use Windows
    is because I know that my hardware works right in it and don't have to
    worry that one of the open-source titles is broken because some
    dependency is missing or whatever.

    I understand. If you had simple, business computers, like mine, your experience would probably be much better. (But then you wouldn't be able to
    do what you want to do with your computer.)

    The MacBook Neo idea is gone. My wife needs a bigger screen. But she's still interested in using a Mac for her work (on her big monitor). She was told
    that a Mac Mini (with 512 GBs) would work well for her. But then I saw the
    new one (with an M5 CPU) was coming out fairly soon, so I think it would be wise to wait for that one. That one is going to come standard with 512 GB,
    so we wouldn't have to pay an extra $200 for an extra 256 GBs of storage. (They'll probably jump the price of the base model, though.)

    I didn't realize that the MacBook Neo is using an iPhone CPU. Apparently a pretty powerful one. It seems like they could make a dock for the iPhone and you could use that for a computer.

    "Hollywood"?

    Really?

    Yeah, really. It's not like it's a secret.


    Cites then, please.

    Do your own research if you think it's necessary.


    So you've got nothing.

    That's what I expected.

    I guess you don't know how to use Google...

    I know that none of those links show that "Hollywood"--a whole community
    of people--would be "overjoyed" about raping kids...

    ...or that anything like a significant fraction of that community has
    ever done so.

    Certainly, you provide no metrics that people in "Hollywood" are any
    more likely to commit these crimes than any other group.

    Whether you "know it" or not, it's a big problem in Hollywood. Of course you
    argue with a strawman by attempting to put words in mouth and moving the
    goalposts.

    Typical response.
    You don't know if it's a big problem or not.

    Yes, I do.

    How?


    It's certainly got a lot of publicity, but that doesn't actually make it
    big. Remember the "satanic panic"?

    Epstein didn't get a lot of publicity either. Until it did. Do you think it
    was a small problem?

    I don't think the two are comparable.

    Yeah, Hollywood's sexual abuse is more widespread.\

    You simply do NOT know that sexual abuse in Hollywood is any more
    widespread than in any other group of people who have power...

    Yeah, I do. I follow the news.

    What do you call it when someone minimizes a problem by changing the
    parameters? Goal post moving? Anal seems to idolize his mentor Snit.

    ...such as evangelist christian pastors.

    ...and public school teachers.

    I can confirm that public school teachers, even here in Quebec, are
    routinely arrested for such behaviour. In fact, a teacher from a
    prestigious private school here in Montréal was recently arrested for
    having child pornography on his computer and of having communicated with >>> an underage person with the goal of committing such an infraction.

    Anywhere children (or even women and old folks) are "captive" you'll find
    abuse. Schools, orphanages, foster homes, prisons, old folks homes,
    synagogues, movie sets and, unfortunately, churches. I just find the
    selective "outrage" to be telling of their anti-Christian agenda. It seems >> like the knee-jerk reaction is to defend the perverts who prey on the weak —
    in all these locations.

    When I was in Bible College, a church's preacher (in the same Protestant
    "sect" of Christianity as the Bible College) was fired because he molested >> (at least) one girl. The girl's brother attended the Bible College. He was a >> huge German kid.

    Imagine finding out that someone is a pedophile and sympathizing with
    the pedophile when his life is ruined from the revelation. It seems like
    a very leftist thing to do.

    Unfortunately it's done a lot — and not always by leftists. I think it's hard to believe that someone you think you know is, deep down, is an evil bastard (or at least VERY troubled). My sympathy is for the kids, not pervs.

    Yeah, it *does* matter if the person has a uterus or not because men
    *don't*
    have them. Period. Good grief, are you really this gullible to defend a
    lying moron when he goes into weasel word mode? Again, straining at a

    'But pretending a man can "become" a woman and carry a baby (for
    example) is delusional BS. And what we're supposed to "accept" this

    Come back to supporting that.


    Ron is so moronic that he's actually trying to use that case of Sen. Fuckface Hawley berating a woman, not letting her answer the question properly, these people are *scum*.

    She was asked a simple, basic yes/no question 12 times and chose to dodge
    the question 12 times.
    In a criminal court she would have been held in contempt of court.


    Trans men do get pregnant, that isn't a "biomale" getting pregnant yeah, but that is the point, they are
    trying to make it about something it isn't.

    He was referring to biological males pretending to be females.
    Of course a biological female pretending to be a male can get pregnant assuming of course the hormone
    treatments have not had an effect on her fertility and so forth.

    So fuck Ron, may his house
    burn down.

    have them. Period. Good grief, are you really this gullible to defend a >>>> lying moron when he goes into weasel word mode? Again, straining at a

    You have yet to support your claim that anyone has ever claimed that a
    biological male could bear a child:

    'But pretending a man can "become" a woman and carry a baby (for
    example) is delusional BS. And what we're supposed to "accept" this

    Come back to supporting that.

    Ron is so moronic that he's actually trying to use that case of Sen.
    Fuckface Hawley berating a woman, not letting her answer the question
    properly, these people are *scum*.

    She was asked a simple, basic yes/no question 12 times and chose to dodge
    the question 12 times.
    In a criminal court she would have been held in contempt of court.

    Trans men do get pregnant, that isn't a "biomale" getting pregnant yeah, but that is the point, they are
    trying to make it about something it isn't.

    He was referring to biological males pretending to be females.
    Of course a biological female pretending to be a male can get pregnant assuming of course the hormone
    treatments have not had an effect on her fertility and so forth.

    So fuck Ron, may his house
    burn down.

    LOL.

    https://www.gbnews.com/news/us/liberal-doctor-can-men-get-pregnant-senator-watch-video


    Refusing to answer an absurd question doesn't mean she thinks they can.

    They were asking this question because these idiots claim that men can have
    babies. I see you ignored the other link. Interesting.

    I figured out that Anal was a leftist. Why am I not even remotely
    shocked that an obnoxious, know-it all zealot is a leftist?

    Being a Woke leftist is one thing. Being ignorant of obvious facts is >>>>> another. If he's ging to argue, he should at least know what he's talking >>>>> about.

    No sexual abuse problems in Hollywood... Yeah, right.

    You would think that by now, the Operation Mockingbird sources Anal
    relies on would have admitted that Harvey Weinstein was a problem or
    that Hollywood actresses do allow themselves to be groomed at a young
    age in exchange for roles. Oh wait, they did: Anal just purposefully
    ignored them in order to needlessly argue here in Snit-like fashion.

    Apparently not just Weinstein, Disney seems to a have serious grooming issue
    with child actors.

    Or at least did. Hopefully the Weinstein jailing has made child actor
    parents more vigilant by now.

    I'm still pissed that Magic Kingdom cost my wife and I $600 a ticket
    when we went there last week. There is absolutely nothing special about
    the place that it would cost that much. Orlando was nice, but the Disney
    stuff is a serious rip-off.

    When they were little (my oldest kids) we took them to Disneyland when I was working at 29 Psalms Marine Base (installing phone switches). I think for
    all of us the cost was about $150. When I was teenager (living in Ventura) they had CB (Construction Battalion) night. (The base is in Port Hueneme.)
    My brother had a friend in the CBs (Seabees) and I think our full night
    (till 12) tickets were $15. The place was almost empty and all the rides
    were included. (This was back in the days of E tickets, etc.)

    $600 a ticket is just pure insanity. And I hear a big chunk of DisneyWorld
    is shut down.


    I wouldn't know what it used to be like, but the way it is currently is
    no better than the local amusement park in Montreal minus the Disney
    branding everywhere. Our amusement park also doesn't have as many shops
    filled with overpriced items and more restaurants. Either way, it was a
    waste of time but an experience we had to at least do once to learn that
    it was a rip-off. I imagine it is similar to how muhammedans need to
    travel to see that rock they worshiped before the pedophile muhammad
    (piss be upon him) even existed.

    The same way they label us haters, I label them retards. It's literally impossible to talk to them because it is like talking to a television

    My apologies for commandeering your post to respond to the DuFuS.

    I don't mind at all. You're entirely correct, either way. I mean, I use
    Windows to run open-source applications. The only reason I use Windows
    is because I know that my hardware works right in it and don't have to
    worry that one of the open-source titles is broken because some
    dependency is missing or whatever.

    I understand. If you had simple, business computers, like mine, your experience would probably be much better. (But then you wouldn't be able to do what you want to do with your computer.)

    The MacBook Neo idea is gone. My wife needs a bigger screen. But she's still interested in using a Mac for her work (on her big monitor). She was told that a Mac Mini (with 512 GBs) would work well for her. But then I saw the new one (with an M5 CPU) was coming out fairly soon, so I think it would be wise to wait for that one. That one is going to come standard with 512 GB,
    so we wouldn't have to pay an extra $200 for an extra 256 GBs of storage. (They'll probably jump the price of the base model, though.)

    I didn't realize that the MacBook Neo is using an iPhone CPU. Apparently a pretty powerful one. It seems like they could make a dock for the iPhone and you could use that for a computer.

    With education pricing, I can get either of those two computers for a
    great price (even in CAD). However, I really don't need to upgrade
    anything I own yet. This 2019 ThinkPad has been upgraded with a 512GB
    NVMe and I turned the 1TB SSD the seller gave me with the machine into
    storage for the movies I use with the kids. It's not super fast, but it doesn't need to be; it just needs to store my movies and documents and duplicate my screen from time. As for the gaming machine I have at home,
    it's almost five-year-old but it still plays anything I want to run. I
    learned that the difference betwene the RTX 3060 mobile I use and the
    RTX 5060 mobile they are selling on new computers is like 50%. There's
    no point in plonking another 2k for a new machine for that little
    benefit. If it were an M1 MacBook Air I would have bought around the
    same time, I might have been looking to upgrade if only to avoid Apple
    cutting me off from updates, but there is otherwise no point in
    changing. I like that we've gotten to a point where even
    fifteen-year-old machines are still more than usable.

    Trans men do get pregnant, that isn't a "biomale" getting pregnant yeah, but that is the point, they are

    He was referring to biological males pretending to be females.
    Of course a biological female pretending to be a male can get pregnant assuming of course the hormone

    So Joel thinks a woman, pretending to be a man, is a man when she gets pregnant? Apparently for him a brain would just get in his way.

    Growing up in the sticks of northern NY California culture was a mystery with jokes about tacos and Knott's Berry Farm. I finally went to Knott's.
    It was fun.

    My Dad moved from "back east" (as we called it) to California when he was young. He always thought the Californians were "soft." He also appreciated that "easterners" were more up front (some would say rude) and spoke their mind. I lived back east (in Maryland) long enough to know what he was
    talking about. Two different worlds.

    I remember Knott's Berry Farm (vaguely). I was pretty young when we went there. I think I remember fake gunfights. I remember, as a young kid,
    watching something being built when we drove past Disneyland on the freeway. Maybe the "Matterhorn?" Something tall with just the steel foundation. I
    would have had to be really young if was the Matterhorn, though.

    Personally, I'd "buy now".

    First, while the M5 will be faster, the M4's no slouch, so there's not
    going to be a huge difference for most use cases. If there was, the
    question would be M4 Pro vs M5 Max or something.

    Second, is that "now" minimizes the risk of a price hike.

    Because of AI demands, costs on RAM/SSDs/etc are up. As such, there's invariably pressure on Apple (& everyone else) to adjust prices higher
    on new product launches.

    Historically, Apple generally doesn't cut prices as a product ages and
    they've been criticized for this pricing policy...but for a change, this
    Apple policy is now working *for* customers right now.

    (till 12) tickets were $15. The place was almost empty and all the rides
    were included. (This was back in the days of E tickets, etc.)

    $600 a ticket is just pure insanity. And I hear a big chunk of DisneyWorld >> is shut down.


    I wouldn't know what it used to be like, but the way it is currently is
    no better than the local amusement park in Montreal minus the Disney branding everywhere. Our amusement park also doesn't have as many shops filled with overpriced items and more restaurants. Either way, it was a waste of time but an experience we had to at least do once to learn that
    it was a rip-off. I imagine it is similar to how muhammedans need to
    travel to see that rock they worshiped before the pedophile muhammad
    (piss be upon him) even existed.

    We had a membership with Six Flags Over Texas for a couple years. (Much cheaper than your $600 price for one day at DisneyLand.) A remember a lot of watching my kids standing in line in 100 degree heat. I liked it better in
    the early spring or late fall, when it was cooler, even though a lot of the rides were shut down. I don't think amusement parks (in general) are doing that well. Kind of like malls, their heyday is over.

    My apologies for commandeering your post to respond to the DuFuS.

    I don't mind at all. You're entirely correct, either way. I mean, I use
    Windows to run open-source applications. The only reason I use Windows
    is because I know that my hardware works right in it and don't have to
    worry that one of the open-source titles is broken because some
    dependency is missing or whatever.

    I understand. If you had simple, business computers, like mine, your
    experience would probably be much better. (But then you wouldn't be able to >> do what you want to do with your computer.)

    The MacBook Neo idea is gone. My wife needs a bigger screen. But she's still >> interested in using a Mac for her work (on her big monitor). She was told

    (They'll probably jump the price of the base model, though.)

    I didn't realize that the MacBook Neo is using an iPhone CPU. Apparently a >> pretty powerful one. It seems like they could make a dock for the iPhone and >> you could use that for a computer.

    With education pricing, I can get either of those two computers for a
    great price (even in CAD). However, I really don't need to upgrade
    anything I own yet. This 2019 ThinkPad has been upgraded with a 512GB
    NVMe and I turned the 1TB SSD the seller gave me with the machine into storage for the movies I use with the kids. It's not super fast, but it doesn't need to be; it just needs to store my movies and documents and duplicate my screen from time. As for the gaming machine I have at home, it's almost five-year-old but it still plays anything I want to run. I learned that the difference betwene the RTX 3060 mobile I use and the
    RTX 5060 mobile they are selling on new computers is like 50%. There's
    no point in plonking another 2k for a new machine for that little
    benefit. If it were an M1 MacBook Air I would have bought around the
    same time, I might have been looking to upgrade if only to avoid Apple cutting me off from updates, but there is otherwise no point in
    changing. I like that we've gotten to a point where even
    fifteen-year-old machines are still more than usable.

    You know I like old computers. My nephew called me yesterday and said he
    found two more Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q "tinys" in the e-waste at his
    company. He asked me if I wanted them. I told him, "no," I've got several computers that I need to get rid of as it is. I told him put 256 GB NVMe
    SSDs in them and sell them for $150 each. (These have i7-7700T CPUs so they sell for more, and people seem to be looking for low power, small computers these days.) I actually like the i5 Dell Micros better, they run cooler.

    I mentioned that we were thinking of getting a Mac Mini for my wife's work. Almost everyone said get the M4, the M5 comes with the "Vista of Mac OSes, Tahoe." That doesn't sound good. Is Apple doing their own version of Windows 11, going all in for AI crap?

    Come back to supporting that.


    Ron is so moronic that he's actually trying to use that case of Sen.
    Fuckface Hawley berating a woman, not letting her answer the question
    properly, these people are *scum*.

    She was asked a simple, basic yes/no question 12 times and chose to dodge
    the question 12 times.
    In a criminal court she would have been held in contempt of court.

    Not the first time some Woke idiot has done this. Their delusions don't sync well with reality.

    Trans men do get pregnant, that isn't a "biomale" getting pregnant yeah, but that is the point, they are
    trying to make it about something it isn't.

    He was referring to biological males pretending to be females.
    Of course a biological female pretending to be a male can get pregnant assuming of course the hormone
    treatments have not had an effect on her fertility and so forth.

    So Joel thinks a woman, pretending to be a man, is a man when she gets pregnant? Apparently for him a brain would just get in his way.

    Since we're all so ignorant, Joel needs to explain biology to us and how
    a man ejaculating into the ass of a man dressed as a woman leads to
    pregnancy.

    So fuck Ron, may his house
    burn down.

    And there's the typical Woke response. The height of their "wit."

    LOL.
    Typical unhinged leftist lunatic projecting again.

    Yep. I'm happy that I killfiled this Joel moron a long time ago.

    You've done the right thing. I did the same thing when he blasphemed
    against God. I gave him chances to redeem himself, but he is clearly a
    moron.

    When they were little (my oldest kids) we took them to Disneyland when I was

    $600 a ticket is just pure insanity. And I hear a big chunk of DisneyWorld >>> is shut down.


    I wouldn't know what it used to be like, but the way it is currently is
    no better than the local amusement park in Montreal minus the Disney
    branding everywhere. Our amusement park also doesn't have as many shops
    filled with overpriced items and more restaurants. Either way, it was a
    waste of time but an experience we had to at least do once to learn that
    it was a rip-off. I imagine it is similar to how muhammedans need to
    travel to see that rock they worshiped before the pedophile muhammad
    (piss be upon him) even existed.

    We had a membership with Six Flags Over Texas for a couple years. (Much cheaper than your $600 price for one day at DisneyLand.) A remember a lot of watching my kids standing in line in 100 degree heat. I liked it better in the early spring or late fall, when it was cooler, even though a lot of the rides were shut down. I don't think amusement parks (in general) are doing that well. Kind of like malls, their heyday is over.


    It's hard for these places to compete with the fun provided by video
    games and Netflix, admittedly. Part of the fun of going to amusement
    parks was going with a bunch of friends, but they can't be bothered to
    leave the house to go to a park in the same way they can't be bothered
    to come out and play street hockey.

    I understand. If you had simple, business computers, like mine, your
    experience would probably be much better. (But then you wouldn't be able to >>> do what you want to do with your computer.)

    The MacBook Neo idea is gone. My wife needs a bigger screen. But she's still
    interested in using a Mac for her work (on her big monitor). She was told >>> that a Mac Mini (with 512 GBs) would work well for her.

That one is going to come standard with 512 GB, >>> so we wouldn't have to pay an extra $200 for an extra 256 GBs of storage. >>> (They'll probably jump the price of the base model, though.)

    I didn't realize that the MacBook Neo is using an iPhone CPU. Apparently a >>> pretty powerful one. It seems like they could make a dock for the iPhone and
    you could use that for a computer.

    With education pricing, I can get either of those two computers for a
    great price (even in CAD). However, I really don't need to upgrade
    anything I own yet. This 2019 ThinkPad has been upgraded with a 512GB
    NVMe and I turned the 1TB SSD the seller gave me with the machine into
    storage for the movies I use with the kids. It's not super fast, but it
    doesn't need to be; it just needs to store my movies and documents and
    duplicate my screen from time. As for the gaming machine I have at home,
    it's almost five-year-old but it still plays anything I want to run. I
    learned that the difference betwene the RTX 3060 mobile I use and the
    RTX 5060 mobile they are selling on new computers is like 50%. There's
    no point in plonking another 2k for a new machine for that little
    benefit. If it were an M1 MacBook Air I would have bought around the
    same time, I might have been looking to upgrade if only to avoid Apple
    cutting me off from updates, but there is otherwise no point in
    changing. I like that we've gotten to a point where even
    fifteen-year-old machines are still more than usable.

    You know I like old computers. My nephew called me yesterday and said he found two more Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q "tinys" in the e-waste at his company. He asked me if I wanted them. I told him, "no," I've got several computers that I need to get rid of as it is. I told him put 256 GB NVMe
    SSDs in them and sell them for $150 each. (These have i7-7700T CPUs so they sell for more, and people seem to be looking for low power, small computers these days.) I actually like the i5 Dell Micros better, they run cooler.

    I mentioned that we were thinking of getting a Mac Mini for my wife's work. Almost everyone said get the M4, the M5 comes with the "Vista of Mac OSes, Tahoe." That doesn't sound good. Is Apple doing their own version of Windows 11, going all in for AI crap?

    Honestly, I don't know what makes Tahoe any worse than any other MacOS.
    There is no doubt that they're going all in with the AI stuff though.
    They make sure to remind you that buying a new iPhone, iPad or Mac means
    that you're getting the latest edition of "Apple Intelligence."

    properly, these people are *scum*.

    She was asked a simple, basic yes/no question 12 times and chose to dodge >>> the question 12 times.
    In a criminal court she would have been held in contempt of court.

    Not the first time some Woke idiot has done this. Their delusions don't sync
    well with reality.

    And if her lawyer objected, the prosecutor would ask to treat the witness as a hostile witness.
    Those type of dodges may work in congressional hearings but don't hold up in a real court.

    As far as I can see, most Congressional hearings are a waste of time. Just a lot of grandstanding and nothing ever gets done.

    Trans men do get pregnant, that isn't a "biomale" getting pregnant yeah, but that is the point, they are
    trying to make it about something it isn't.

    He was referring to biological males pretending to be females.
    Of course a biological female pretending to be a male can get pregnant assuming of course the hormone
    treatments have not had an effect on her fertility and so forth.

    So Joel thinks a woman, pretending to be a man, is a man when she gets
    pregnant? Apparently for him a brain would just get in his way.

    He keeps dodging and weaving so at this point I have no idea what he thinks assuming he thinks at all which is obviously in question.

    He can't go off script and stop pushing his delusional Woke agenda. He might as well admit he's a cult member and leav it at that.

    So fuck Ron, may his house
    burn down.

    And there's the typical Woke response. The height of their "wit."

    The party of the left, progressives, democrats, whatever they call themselves these days, demonstrating how they truly are the party of acceptance.
    What a laugh!

    The problem with the "party on the right," is they do a lot of talking, but not much else (except when it comes to Israel). In my opinion it's all
    theater and the goal is to keep Americans at each other's throats so the UniParty can keep selling us down the river while we squabble with each
    other. Divide and conquer.

    LOL.

    May you have a delusional break with reality and suffer a lifetime of

    This is what Woke "inclusivity" produces. Rabid and unhinged morons.

    Anyone who disagrees with whatever idiocy they created today all need to kill themselves. If not, they will be killed by the state once they have their Communist utopia. This, of course, is loving of them.

    Exactly. That's one good thing the Trump election did. It kind of paused
    this insane Woke crap. The Democrats finally figured out it was a losing agenda. But Trump has screwed up so badly that the Woke crap will probably come back after the midterms.

    Trump's main job was to fix the economy (if that was possible). Instead he's pissed away his support with multiple stupid wars as he plays "Emperor of
    the World" instead of President of the United States.

    It's always Microsoft Office or niche products like overpriced Adobe crap

    I understand. If you had simple, business computers, like mine, your
    experience would probably be much better. (But then you wouldn't be able to
    do what you want to do with your computer.)

    The MacBook Neo idea is gone. My wife needs a bigger screen. But she's still
    interested in using a Mac for her work (on her big monitor). She was told >>>> that a Mac Mini (with 512 GBs) would work well for her. But then I saw the >>>> new one (with an M5 CPU) was coming out fairly soon, so I think it would be

    I didn't realize that the MacBook Neo is using an iPhone CPU. Apparently a >>>> pretty powerful one. It seems like they could make a dock for the iPhone and

    With education pricing, I can get either of those two computers for a
    great price (even in CAD). However, I really don't need to upgrade
    anything I own yet. This 2019 ThinkPad has been upgraded with a 512GB
    NVMe and I turned the 1TB SSD the seller gave me with the machine into
    storage for the movies I use with the kids. It's not super fast, but it
    doesn't need to be; it just needs to store my movies and documents and
    duplicate my screen from time. As for the gaming machine I have at home, >>> it's almost five-year-old but it still plays anything I want to run. I
    learned that the difference betwene the RTX 3060 mobile I use and the
    RTX 5060 mobile they are selling on new computers is like 50%. There's
    no point in plonking another 2k for a new machine for that little
    benefit. If it were an M1 MacBook Air I would have bought around the
    same time, I might have been looking to upgrade if only to avoid Apple
    cutting me off from updates, but there is otherwise no point in
    changing. I like that we've gotten to a point where even
    fifteen-year-old machines are still more than usable.

    You know I like old computers. My nephew called me yesterday and said he
    found two more Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q "tinys" in the e-waste at his
    company. He asked me if I wanted them. I told him, "no," I've got several
    computers that I need to get rid of as it is. I told him put 256 GB NVMe
    SSDs in them and sell them for $150 each. (These have i7-7700T CPUs so they >> sell for more, and people seem to be looking for low power, small computers >> these days.) I actually like the i5 Dell Micros better, they run cooler.

    I mentioned that we were thinking of getting a Mac Mini for my wife's work. >> Almost everyone said get the M4, the M5 comes with the "Vista of Mac OSes, >> Tahoe." That doesn't sound good. Is Apple doing their own version of Windows >> 11, going all in for AI crap?

    Honestly, I don't know what makes Tahoe any worse than any other MacOS. There is no doubt that they're going all in with the AI stuff though.
    They make sure to remind you that buying a new iPhone, iPad or Mac means that you're getting the latest edition of "Apple Intelligence."

    I don't know a whole lot about Macs, this is just what they've been telling me.

    Come back to supporting that.


    Ron is so moronic that he's actually trying to use that case of Sen. >>>>> Fuckface Hawley berating a woman, not letting her answer the question >>>>> properly, these people are *scum*.

    In a criminal court she would have been held in contempt of court.

    Not the first time some Woke idiot has done this. Their delusions don't sync
    well with reality.

    Trans men do get pregnant, that isn't a "biomale" getting pregnant yeah, but that is the point, they are
    trying to make it about something it isn't.

    He was referring to biological males pretending to be females.
    Of course a biological female pretending to be a male can get pregnant assuming of course the hormone
    treatments have not had an effect on her fertility and so forth.

    So Joel thinks a woman, pretending to be a man, is a man when she gets
    pregnant? Apparently for him a brain would just get in his way.

    Since we're all so ignorant, Joel needs to explain biology to us and how
    a man ejaculating into the ass of a man dressed as a woman leads to
    pregnancy.

    So fuck Ron, may his house
    burn down.

    And there's the typical Woke response. The height of their "wit."

    LOL.
    Typical unhinged leftist lunatic projecting again.

    Yep. I'm happy that I killfiled this Joel moron a long time ago.

    You've done the right thing. I did the same thing when he blasphemed
    against God. I gave him chances to redeem himself, but he is clearly a
    moron.

    There's only so much time in the day for this kind of crap. I waste too much of my time with it as it is.

    Even a second wasted on a Joel Crump post is a second too many. He's

    The homosexual leprechaun Joel Crump wants someone to kill themselves
    again. How very leftist of him.

    This is what Woke "inclusivity" produces. Rabid and unhinged morons.

    Anyone who disagrees with whatever idiocy they created today all need to
    kill themselves. If not, they will be killed by the state once they have
    their Communist utopia. This, of course, is loving of them.

    Exactly. That's one good thing the Trump election did. It kind of paused
    this insane Woke crap. The Democrats finally figured out it was a losing agenda. But Trump has screwed up so badly that the Woke crap will probably come back after the midterms.

    Trump's main job was to fix the economy (if that was possible). Instead he's pissed away his support with multiple stupid wars as he plays "Emperor of
    the World" instead of President of the United States.

    I'm going to wait until his term is over to make a judgement. All I can
    say is that I'm in a leftist paradise here in Canada, and I hate this
    place. They're trying to pass a censorship bill and bribing members of
    the opposition party to cross the aisle so they can get a majority and
    force the bill through. Soon, this country will be just like the United Kingdom where they will ignore anything blacks or muhammedans do but
    arrest anyone who posts a mean tweet.

    Meanwhile, you should see the joy in the kids' faces knowing that
    they're part of the very few who might get to kiss a member of the

    I also doubt that any of the kids will be content to get sodomized by

    I haven't played with the Q and the setup sounds a little weird, sort of
    like if you hung a Pico off a Pi and used it for the i/o.

    I went to the Six Flags near DC (very near, same area as the Commanders stadium in Maryland) long before it was a Six Flags, it was "Wild

    George Jones? When I was in Bible "college" in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, Tom T. Hall and Jeannie C. Riley came to the Western Nebraska Community College to put on a show. Hall was so drunk that when it came to his turn to sing, he sloshed through a couple songs and Riley had to come back out and finish the show. Tom T. Hall was a good song writer though. I also saw the Oak Ridge
    Boys at that college. Small town, it must have between "real" stops. A
    little town, a few miles away, was Mitchell, Nebraska. Randy Meisner, of the Eagles, went to high school there. One year, when the Eagles were still a
    big thing, the Eagles played for Mitchell High School prom. That was before
    my time. Mitchell has a population of about 1,500 (it may have been bigger
    or smaller when I was there, which was in the early to mid 70s).

    Come back to supporting that.

    She was asked a simple, basic yes/no question 12 times and chose to dodge

    In a criminal court she would have been held in contempt of court.

    Not the first time some Woke idiot has done this. Their delusions don't sync

    Trans men do get pregnant, that isn't a "biomale" getting pregnant yeah,

    Yep. I'm happy that I killfiled this Joel moron a long time ago.

    You've done the right thing. I did the same thing when he blasphemed

    There's only so much time in the day for this kind of crap. I waste too much

    Even a second wasted on a Joel Crump post is a second too many. He's
    like Snit except that he's out of the closet rather than in it.

    Snit was more of a real troll. He used to pretend he was finding some points of agreement with you, then suddenly rewind to where he started. Joel just seems completely unhinged. I can see him frothing on his keyboard as he types.

    I sought agreement and thus you deemed me wrong. LOL!

    I do remember some of our more "fun" debates. In one you used Scrivener and suggested it was evidence of Linux superiority or the like. I had never used it, but downloaded it on Linux and macOS to see. The Linux version had a few advantages but the macOS one had tons of advantages (in both cases many of
    them coming from their environment). Same with LibreOffice.

    Not to say Linux does not have advantages (it clearly does) but your examples did not work out for you and that got you mad.

    They were planning on fining them for each installlation wich doesn't

    since they never seem to know how many installs there are and who is

    I think they want to force the Linux distributions to include an age verification API (?) in the installation process.

    Maryland had true seasons and rolling hills but no real mountains. (At
    least not in Riesterstown, which I guess is just a Baltimore suburb by
    now.) Kind of makes me sick thinking about that.

    I grew up in upstate NY but have lived in MA, VT, NH, and ME. I hiked
    quite a bit in the Adirondacks, Greens in VT, Whites in NH, and some of
    the lower ranges like the Berkshires. I took a 3 month contract at GE Fort Wayne that lasted over a year. I don't do well in flatland and was happy
    to get back to NH.

    I do miss the hardwoods. Except for the city where they planted maples and oaks most of the landscape is ponderosa pines, western larch, and douglas fir with cottonwood along the river. The larch get sort of a golden color
    in the fall but that's about it.

    I miss the huge oaks and maple trees they have in Maryland (and more so further north). I also miss the cold, clear water we got from our well when
    we lived in the old farmhouse. It flowed over granite, which must have purified it. I can still remember the taste of it.

    They were planning on fining them for each installlation wich doesn't
    verify the age. How they would enforce that is beyond me, especially
    since they never seem to know how many installs there are and who is
    using them.

    I think they want to force the Linux distributions to include an age verification API (?) in the installation process.

    It is so sad what our liberal government are trying to force on us.

    Maybe not a swamp, but it was built along a river that flooded the lowland

    When I lived in Fort Worth I used to watch the weather in Houston (and sometimes San Antonio). When I would want to complain about the humidity in Dallas, I would look at the humidity in Houston and say "at least I don't live in Houston." Then I would look at New Orleans' humidity and say, "I'm guessing those in Houston are saying, at least I don't live in New Orleans."

    I've got to admit, however, that the one time I stayed in Houston (actually Galveston) was in the spring. We rented one of those houses on stilts by the beach for a couple days (extended family thing). We got lucky, low humidity and nice temperatures and not many people.

    After hearing 'Galveston' on the radio endlessly I had to go there. It was

    It's weird how smells can take you back to something that happened long ago. When I was working in Twentynine Palms (living in Yucca Valley), we had to
    go to the Barstow Marine base for some reason (not sure why now) and there
    was a rain shower. The smell from the rain on that sand immediately took me back to San Bernardino when I was five (or so) years old. It was amazing how strongly that hit. Apparently the sand was different in Yucca Valley/Twentynine Palms because when it rained there it never had that
    effect on me. Like I say, weird.

    When I was driving I carried a bicycle on the truck. It moved a few times
    but one of the terminals was off State College and Ball Road. It was a
    short hop on surface streets to get on the Santa Ana Bike Trail. I could
    ride south down to Huntington Beach along the 'river'. As you got closer
    to the ocean there was water even.

    They're still completing it but the other direction went up to a little regional park.

    I don't know if it's been cleaned up but a few years ago someone on a bike with a GoPro posted a video of an endless homeless encampment along the
    trail. I wasn't sure where it was until he got to Anaheim Stadium.
