Speaking of thought experiments, I just [lost the game](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game\)). Thanks, OP.

The irresponsible pitbull owners mindset right there.

The beginning of the end of Earth-week? I guess it’s time to ride the cosmic waves to eternity then.

Hot damn! Limitless fusion power is only thirty years away!

You are free to vent your opinion but other people are free to not agree. Or listen. Or care. What you going to do? Enact violence on everybody?

Honestly, I struggle to find the Gieger in it.

Not knowing an animal is stuffed reminds me vaguely of a stand up bit, maybe by Fern Brady?

Indeed I could, but this is the boring job you have the paid employees for rather than putting it on users to ensure a stable version of your product. .

Yeah, it’s totally a fun feature driven project reliant on community efforts despite there is a commercial venture behind it nowadays. The core devs still treat it as their baby hobby project and nobody wants to do the boring job of maintaining a stable branch so it’s not going to happen.

Some while ago I saw another discussion on this topic that was shot down with the opposing arguments that all users have to do is stay up date with the latest version, while also saying that users are at fault for things breaking because they update when a notification tells them that there is a new latest version.

I think it’s arrogant and irresponsible and a ticking time bomb for a big time bug or zero day exploit and not how any serious project should be administered.

I wish I could have Linus Torvalds give his colorful opinion on this mindset on developing the operating system for peoples homes.

Every time I read of issues like this, I so much wish ha devs could be bothered to complement the rolling release as it is today with a quarterly “stable” branch that gets all the bug fixes and patches but none of the monthly new features.

The stable branch could lag 3 months in features, it doesn’t matter with latest features when all you want is a recently patched and updated system that runs your house without going bzzpth.

I’m skeptical anything good will come out of it, but I’m glad if I’m wrong. Meta is about making money. The fediverse is a direct competitor to everything and anything they do. I don’t think Meta is interested in integrating with the fediverse. I think they want to dominate the fediverse. But that’s just me.

Fag Hag, as I understand it, is the term for women that predominantly seek out and integrate with a crowd of gay men to party with. Being straight and having one or a few gay friends doesn’t make anyone anything.

It gets in the way by you having great times with your bestie, joking around, being open and chill. Then something, maybe one of you, maybe something external, triggers the old lizard brain. “Hey”, your brain goes. “You know, this is great. They are great. This would be a great person for reproduction and this a great time for the horizontal fandango!”. But this is your bestie, this is not why you’re here. Your conscious brain does not want to do the sexy sex with them but your primal urges do. You’re in a state of conflict in your brain, trying to rid yourself from one of those essential parts of your very being. What is worse, they have either triggered on the same thing or picked up something subconsciously and they are in the same state. Instead of being all relaxed and fun and open, you are both self conscious and stiff and trying to play it off. And you hate every second of it.

Why is it so fucking hard for company executives to just be a decent human being? Damn.

<3 thanks

Of course it comes down to the individuals but those are my treasured personal recollections with the lesbian women I’ve been closer friends with. A special open and relaxed vibe that different from the special vibes I have with other friends. Even with my best female friends that we’d never smash our genitals together, regardless we have in the past or not, the sexual part in the back of the brain is always there even when the frontal lobe says nope. We don’t just don’t have the same mutual chill.

I think all people are affected by their sexuality, regardless how proper and civilized we are. It’s that mammalian thingymajingy we just can’t escape, none of us. From what I’ve read even asexuals are at times struggling with their libido pulling strings from the back of their brain.

Well, my friend. I think on the other hand that you are massively overproblematizing and turning this about something entirely different. You’re taking me sharing a positive insight about me and my friendships and forcing it into something ugly. I think you should maybe ask yourself why this is your reaction. Those are just my 2 cents.

Yeah, and probably with the more stereotypical common “fag hag” (is that offensive nowadays? the ones I’ve know have used the terminology on themselves back in the day), straight women that hang around with gay guys.

But, but… The market… Brrr?
