What does atomic mean in this sense? That seems more confusing than immutable.

Dehumanising people makes it easy to hate and persecute them, and to blame them for a bunch of stuff which isn’t their fault. It really is a classic move with a rich history.

Overlooked doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Is the three musketeers really on par with the count? I’ve been meaning to read it for months but I always got the sense it would be disappointing.

All of HP Lovecraft’s stories.

I liked it until about half way through, it seemed to lose all the intrigue and then there was the weird bit about rape (if I remember correctly) at which point I gave up. Shame because it started well.

Wtf that’s crazy

Your assessment of probability is speculation and I didn’t suggest you meant “always”.

$DADDY

That’s not necessarily true, I dual boot and I’ve been using Linux for my main OS for about 15 years now. I rarely use mine but it is useful/needed occasionally.

Why is that called a dog whistle?

Sounds like textbook NPD, particularly his backstory.

You mention gender role stereotypes but then fall prey to one when you clearly think you should be served first because of your gender. If you don’t believe in equality and would rather stick to ancient and out of date traditions that’s fine but perhaps he is a bit more progressive and you are not well suited to each other.

It’s ok for a woman to pay, it’s ok for a woman to suggest a second venue, it’s ok for a woman to make the first move. It’s not 1950 any more.

Regardless, like others have mentioned, having this much to question after one date isn’t a good sign.

Omnivore logic.

Wtf are Israel playing at. Other than genocide I mean.

They would never victim blame…

Mpd and Cantata. Deadbeef for playing from a directory or for conversation. I haven’t found anything as good as cantata but I have to admit that I miss the monolithic and do everything of musicbee.

So we get surprised every three months rather than every month.

Yes, it is. ‘loudness’ of an action has no correlation with how serious it was.

They can be dropped into local directories, assuming the devs provide binaries, otherwise they need building. I know it’s not difficult to git clone and build but it’s not really a beginner friendly process and not ideal to have to remember to check for updates (and not ideal to not have them packaged for updates if there are binaries provided by the devs). I was considering using 10 years ago or so and this was one of the main reasons I decided against it in the end (along with other audio tools not having packages), it’s a shame it hasn’t really moved forward in this respect because it looked really nice otherwise.
