Idk, I’m bilingual and I only ever think in English. It doesn’t really seem to make a difference though, saying things out loud vs in my head.

I’m learning a third language now and can just barely communicate with others (worked with a taxi driver!). That said, I wouldn’t consider myself truly trilingual yet. I could think in that language but it doesn’t really feel like it changes anything - I still only know the same words in my head

It’s cheap

Idk, you ever wonder who bought/read all those Killing x books that Bill O Reilly wrote?

I mean, sure but Dems only really have a chance because Republicans continue to run the shuttiest candidates imaginable. That is absolutely true

Like, Obama won partly because McCain chose to run with Palin. It’s not the only reason he won, but it’s silly to think it wasn’t a major factor - especially considering everything we know about white American voters, that’s been made just as clear as it ever could be. I bet it was a tough decision for some/many Americans

I’ve always wished I could feel like the choice in a general election was a hard decision, but alas I’m working class and brown (and believe in science)

Yeah, idk. They’ll show the important scenes. Just not entirely or anything. lol

I was mostly joking but it’s def an option. It works if you just want the jist of the story and don’t really care about the acting or basically anything else

Have you tried watching movie recaps on youtube? It’s the other extreme but i find it good enough for movies I’ll never see. There’s lots of movies I’ve seen there I’m glad I didn’t watch for a full hour. Most movies have tons of similar tropes you can easily understand in like a 15 min sentence

Hey now, maybe their entire family consists of nerds and trans chicks

Sorry but what the hell is xorg? Is that another place like 4chan or something

Fair enough. I still wish I could just accept the risk and click a button that forfeits my use of Microsoft support or something

I could totally get on board with that.

I’ll definitely do it once I work up the energy… or more likely Microsoft forces me to move. lol

I thought you were gonna make a joke about linux users having to fix some random issue that popped up on linux

Idk… it’s been a while since I used it and I always had issues that took hours to troubleshoot. lol

You just helped me realize all the people that make a big deal out of getting monthly “security” updates for their phones are probably just dumb teenagers!

I hate mandatory updates with a fiery passion

Glad it wasn’t too bad for you/y’all.

Unfortunately, I wiped my computer Thursday night before our company mentioned anything. lol. I ended up finding out about the issue on Lemmy/Reddit. My company didn’t send anything out until this morning - which I still find insane, my laptop crashed and started looping around 7p (took them like 12 hours).

My laptop just rebooted while I was working so I assumed some program I’d installed caused it (explorerpatcher). I tried everything, safe mode, system restore, uninstall updates. I figured the only option left was to reinstall windows. Done it plenty of times on my personal PC

Oh well, lesson learned. Shit’s totally fucked now. It won’t even connect to the Internet. lol. Definitely a Monday problem though

Seriously! And why are all these clouds so big and gray?!

Ok, that’s totally fair. I would absolutely hate to get a work call from an unknown number. Tha didn’t even cross my mind!

I was interpreting it as simply hearing your phone ring and thinking it could be a spam caller (I really need to set up custom ringtones at some point)

Idk, it’s usually faster for both, no?

You can just answer your friend and say hello. lol

Good thing back in the day there were probably very few cult leaders…

Does anyone wonder about how the story of Jesus being plagiarized from the Egyptian myth of Horus affects the narrative about the Jesus that supposedly lived and died a century earlier? You know the one that happened to have incredibly important political value for the established leaders of the time?

No? Me either. Praise Horus!

I absolutely hate that. What’s wrong with just entering a key? They act like it’s difficult or they’re doing something truly impressive when it’s obvious they’re getting way more out of users having an account

Would something like that only apply to store-bought PCs? Or could they somehow lock a motherboard you bought separately? Sorry, no idea how bootloaders work, despite unlocking em plenty of times on Android phones in the past

One difference is there was already value with having a gmail account. What’s the point of getting a Microsoft account? The only thing I can see is it makes settings set up/transfer easy between PCs and for reinstalls.

Except, if I’m reinstalling, I can’t imagine waiting to copy settings since one of those settings is probably causing a problem and I don’t want it to be automatically set for me. I also don’t use the Microsoft store so…

Does anyone else actually get value from their Microsoft account? If not, It just feels like it’s only purpose is giving them (more) access to your computer. Why would anyone want that?
