  • Me: Not an anime fan.

    Me reading this headline: "I guess that's a good thing to START doing.....kinda weird that wasn't the default for decades now......

    Then I remembered how there's always the trope of a little 5 year old girl, who's just doing little kid things, but then OH NO! LETS SEXUALIZE HER, AND CLAIM SHE'S AN ANCIENT SPIRIT AND IS ACTUALLY 100 YEARS OLD!!!

    And I'm just like "Yeaaahhhhh, no. If I'm not going to get aroused by humans dressing up in furry costumes because it's too close to the idea of fucking an animal, then I'm also not going to be ok with sexualizing the image of a child, regardless of how old her character is. It's still very much presenting the image of a child, and sexualizing that image.

    So that brought me down a wide range of reactions I didn't know I had. From indifference, all the way to outrage, all from a media form that I haven't thought about in 20 years. So now I'm just mad that this wasn't always the case. Like, yeah, it's a good step in the right direction in 2026, but it's kinda like in 1945 Germany saying "Hey, we're not going to be nazis anymore...."

    Great! Where was this mentality all along?

  • C'mon, Percy. I have the next few days off work. You can come relax with me. My plan is to do NOTHING.

    So uh.....if you gotta poop, ya know....don't.

    Other than that, my apartment is a stress free zone.

  • .......not sure who that is, and I'm unsure why you'd throw him under the bus for stealing flock cameras.

  • Hercules was with me all night. We were doing competitive pushups.

    He won. Because he's awesome, and he can balance a spoon on his nose, and he tore down soooooo many flock cameras.......I mean........no, not that last one. I don't know why I said that. He was with me all night in the garage doing push-ups.

  • Wait......you had a party and didn't invite me????

    Rude.

  • Our current government took its cue from Drew Carry.

    Everything's made up, and the points don't matter.

    I mean for gods sake! One of our senators has been dead for weeks, and they're just weekend at mcconnels over here.

  • Correction: No they fucking didn't.

    And if you think you saw someone doing this, no the fuck you didn't.

  • they’re taking advantage of the fact most people who are without prior knowledge otherwise (which is why they’re so big on targeting the young) will start to believe what the advertisers are saying is actually true – without proof – if they hear it enough.

  • They'd probably say "very".

  • You say /s, but that's the literal exact reason that Microsoft has all the market share.

  • I think I'm a skeliton on the inside.

  • touches your nose

    BOOP!

  • but then I thought, fuck it

    I feel like this one half sentence explains all of human history.

  • Oh! Whew! I was worried for a moment! Thishappened in the UK.

    Perfectly fine to do this here in America. Actually most hospital rooms are empty. Ain't nobody got money to pay for our broken healthcare system!

  • Well the reason that is big, is that regardless of the OS, whether it's windows, MacOS, or Linux, the concept of a desktop experience itself is shrinking.

    Most people today that use desktops do so at work only. Meaning they don't control if it's Windows 11, Windows 10, Linux, or some company made propriatary OS (which, is most likely a form of linux). Doesn't matter. They come into work, use a computer that isn't theirs, to use an OS they have no say in.

    With France using Linux, those people who don't know how to use a windows PC, will now be the people who don't know how to use a linux PC. But, like all things, they'll learn SOMETHING from it.

    The major reason that Windows thrives is because businesses use it. When businesses use it, the employees use it. When the employees use it, they learn SOME things from it.

    So when it comes time for them to buy a PC, they'll be firmiliar with linux, and windows becomes the foreign thing they've never used.

    Thats the glass ceiling. People buy windows because they know windows. And they know windows because their school/job taught them windows.

    But if their school/job teaches them linux instead, then that's what they'll know when they bring a PC home.

    It's not a huge deal in itself. It becomes a huge deal when you consider the snowball effect.

  • Here's the truth of the matter. As a server, Linux runs the show. As a desktop, Linux is basically little league.

    There is some growth, but it's not people getting fed up with microsoft. The real growth comes from Valve.

    Despite it's apperance, SteamOS is considered a linux desktop, and it's driving growth on linux. I don't think it's up to 10%, considering 2 years ago it was at an all time high of 4%. But I can believe it's at 6%. And even that would be considered tremendous growth. 4% in 30 years, but 2% more in 2 more years? That's huge.

    I keep seeing the same story about linux. People are gaming on steamos, or bazzite, and they have to keep a windows installation on the other partition because select games have anti-cheat that 100% does not work on linux.

    But here's the better news. Console games are dying.

  • Yrah, but that's what they said about Windows ME.....and Vista.....and Windows 8......and now 11.

    Microsoft learns from their mistakes. It's what helps them to make sure they make all new mistakes.

    What concerns me is that ever since XP, every "good" release is worse than the last good release.

  • USA is a shitty country where psychopathy rules the day.

    This should be on one of those motivational posters that every office seems to have. The kind with those stock free images of people giving thumbs up.
