I used to see this guy bike past my apartment all the time. He had a speaker blasting country music and he’d scream-sing the lyrics. Not my type of music at all but his passion made me fuck with his vibe.

Pretty sure that’s heronsy.

I honestly feel that’s less of a diss on the Neo and more of a statement on how overpowered phones are now, especially considering the limitations placed on mobile OSes.

Apparently, buck used to be a slur in the US for a black or Native American man.

A suggested etymology for buck naked is that it refers to the the nude state of black men when they were sold at slave auctions. AFAIK it’s not attested anywhere, just a hypothesis.

Both butt-naked and buck naked are used.

Comparing them with Google Ngram does show that buck naked predates and is slightly more frequently used than butt-naked, but I’d say butt-naked has been widely accepted into the lexicon. Bonus, it doesn’t have (possibly) racist origins like buck naked has.

Hey! As a vegan stoner, I resent that. I use an Arch-derivative (EndeavourOS btw).

Peanut Butter Sunday and FUUDGE are two French Canadian bands worth checking out!

unbiased source of news

I honestly don’t think this is possible.

Who’s deciding what counts as “biased” or “unbiased”, and how do we ensure there’s no corruption there?

How do we determine “the truth” about controversial subjects when general opinion is split?

Even if you did determine a magical method to broadcast exclusively factual information without any spin; the choice of which information gets broadcast inherently introduces bias. You can’t put literally everything that happened on Earth in a day on the evening news, so you have to choose and prioritize which information to broadcast, introducing the bias.

I’ve always thought a better solution would be having news sources be more explicit about their biases, rather than pretending they don’t have any, but I realize that just introduces more problems without necessarily fixing anything.

IIRC, Spotube streams its music from YouTube.

Most cyclists I know want more people on the bike paths.

I’ve never heard a driver bemoan a lack of traffic.

Xcode is an IDE, this version being released in March.

The Ides of March is the day Julius Caesar was assassinated.

I think that’s all there is to the joke, unless I’m also missing something.

I’ve been vegan for nearly ten years, I dread any time the topic comes up with people who aren’t also vegan.

It usually becomes a pointless debate where I either have to heavily self-censor, or end up hurting the feelings of people who eat animal products. It’s always the same conversations I’ve already had hundreds of times, no one’s gonna change my mind and I probably won’t change theirs either.

It’s important to make sure reality is compatible with your hardware.

Even ignoring that most people couldn’t maintain their cars for shit; people always seem to forget that they’re still super dependent on petrol and the oil industry. How is that in any way better than relying on governments to provide public transit?

Yeah, if someone truly wants your bike, they can get it. Locking a bike somewhere in a city is about making the would-be thief look for an easier target. Outrunning your hiking partner, not the bear.

No, my mom taught me we should respect the elderly.

Doug Ford is Premier of Ontario.

His brother, Rob Ford, was mayor of Toronto from 2010 to 2014. He passed away in 2016, and he’s the one who admitted to smoking crack whilst mayor.

They’re both idiotic conservative assholes and I have no idea how so many people in Ontario support them.

I think more cops should commit suicide to be honest.

Trump is literally a WWE Hall of Famer.
