I have no idea but I like to imagine hundreds of editors rushing out every time there’s a prominent death to be the first to change it.

I’ve been using free software (both free as in freedom and free as in beer) off and on since I discovered slackware in the 90s, but I’ll be the first to admit I’m not plugged into the scene. I’m not plugged into most scenes except possibly rock and Americana music, and I know all the gross shit that happened there. Rock music especially. And that may actually be why I tend to avoid getting plugged in.

But I went through the whole report. I’m sad to find out someone with such lofty ideals in one area is so scummy. A lot of that just sounds like typical neckbeard idiocy dialed up to maximum. And if he were just any neckbeard or incel on the street everyone could just dismiss him. But he’s a prominent figure that represents a movement spouting gross and harmful shit. It has nothing to do with the validity of the movement, nor does it remove the value of free software, but him being a keynote speaker everywhere and being so involved makes things feel dirty.

I don’t know. I didn’t take my medication today so I’m scattered. I just hate when people doing important or influential work are gross people, especially if they have harmful attitudes towards minors.

I had no idea. With all of the things I have to follow on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis some things are just going to fall through the cracks. “Minor public figure holds reprehensible views” won’t generally hit my radar. “Major public figure did something reprehensible” may not hit my radar depending on how busy or drunk I am in a given week, which will leave me wondering why people hate them years later.

I’m not saying this as a criticism of you. You brought it up which is super valuable. There’s just so much shit to keep up with that I always appreciate context because I have other things going on and rarely have any idea what reprehensible thing a particular person has said or done.

Same, buddy.

Wouldn’t it just be advertising access to your self hosted drive full of feet pics on Lemmy or Mastodon?

Rusty Shackleford is just the name he uses to order Pizza with.

It gives me the low level burning sensation of an STI.

All great options. I’ll throw in two here. Cocaine and Able by Amigo the Devil and Broken Window Serenade by Whiskey Myers.

Next quarter? Who gives a shit! This quarter is all there is!

One eight hundred, five five one, eight nine hundred. Diesel Driving Academy!

Years of drinking destroyed mine, and it’s all my fault. I would also try it.

Is this another US thing where employers require you to purchase the vehicle before you can work for them?

Not bus drivers, but some truckers are owner/operators.

Oh shit, I read it wrong! I stand by it though. They were all Lyle’s.

They weren’t Dennis’ children. They were Lyle’s.

White trash me: what’s the issue?

Same, buddy. We used to do this, except it was three quarters lemonade and a quarter whatever cheap liquor everyone brought. So you’d have whiskey, both light and dark rum, vodka (lots of vodka) tequila, gin if one specific guy showed up… Pretty much anything cheap.

Trash cans are not safe to drink out of.

That’s how I stay young. I’ve been 29 for years.

Full of whiskey.

I mean, how long did it take the cops to get there? Because .42 is crazy fucking high. It can absolutely kill you it’s so high. She would have had to have more than 10 drinks in an hour for that. That’s about two thirds of a fifth between the time it was called in and when the cops got there.

I’m not saying it’s not doable. I’m saying if she did that she was trying to die.
