imo sports exist mostly so you can talk about them with other people who sports, which is not a bad thing and the primary reason I sports.

yeah, that but also durable goods have a lifespan of ~3y on average and you can't repair them

right, plus like, having a phone is a 300$ expense every few years for a not-amazing one that breaks more easily

i want it so badly along with very good liability insurance

this would be so sick until it leaks or drowns someone

i've been tempted more than once to write my own interleaving mechanism and then just have nix run on One Big Flake

yeah i agree with the module system itself being the problem

right now i have my tree be autoimported as flake-parts modules with import-tree, and then include the flake parts modules, but that means hand-writing the names, so instead of that my package+config-for-the-package modules exist out of tree and are imported themselves later

i like it, but I want to be able to exclude some of the modules based on host while also having imports only be in one place, and it's been an odyssey

monopoly is a lot more abstract tho, gundam is "everyone's mom dies the first ten minutes of war and none of the reasons it perpetuates turn out to benefit anyone in the end" and metal gear solid is "listen up chucklefuck here's how nuclear deterrence works and also US involvement in funding coups"

personally i think we could solve a lot of the world's energy problems by gene-engineering endurance cyclists to have rumens (cow grass-digesting stomachs), then basically just turn their life into grazing and then stationary biking to generate power

its like how the rain hole in a roof makes its own pipes

all i want to do is let the directory structure and filename name my modules for me. they're tracked in git, dog. they're tracked in git. they arent going anywhere i dont want them to. its ok. just name yourself from them please

the problem with nixOS is your hopes and dreams can be valid nix, but then you have to navigate a submarine through an underwater canyon with a chart drawn in crayon to figure out how to actually make it work in nixos

yeah its called efficiency. only need one drain pipe if the tubs all drain into the bottom one.

oh i mentioned it in a branch but not here, it doesnt work because i thought i found something that could make it through the limitations of the nixos module system and build order, but it turns out the triangle hole was smaller than i thought

and they're probably better at it than most works that reach that many people, tbh, as uncomfortable as that may be

everyone says video games and anime rot your brain until they realize the people raised on gundam and metal gear solid are the millenial core of the current antiwar movement

A Confrontation with Truth What it means to live in a deeply sick country that worships killing. Diagnosis as the first step of any journey toward health.

I wrote a story of two doctors to illustrate what it really means to meet MAGA defectors where they are.

We live in a sick nation, so we should pursue a culture of healing. And every movement toward health begins with a confrontation. www.the-reframe.com/a-confrontat...

a wooden floored covered bridge with the words "Estradiol saved my life" and the trans symbol spraypainted in gold on the floor

if you're sad that james bond is dead try reading my story, about James Bond with the public school mindset transposed to the fratboy affect of a working-class American in the western US of the future

ok yeah

this has been explored but somehow nearly everyone involved in the space got sucked into cryptocurrency so yk

One more country showing the urgency needed to respond to authoritarianism.
