    I mean liberal and conservative aren’t the same level of crappy in my eyes, but it is accurate to say corporate interests fund both of them. I think its reasonable to question how beholden both of them are to private interests











  • I kinda thought this conversation would eventually happen. I have mixed feelings on the subject but am generally inclined not to use the term myself as I find it distasteful. But I think there’s an important consideration for those who’d like to discontinue the term rice in this community: what language would we like to use instead? Specifically a good noun for referring to a given setup we’ve made. In therapy they teach you that stopping a behavior is a very hard thing to accomplish, and that instead you should always try to replace a behavior- I believe that idea is very relevant here

    I’d be curious to hear people’s thoughts on what they’d like to use instead




  • If you’re really hurt by something the appropriate thing to do is to be vulnerable and sincerely express to your partner that their behavior hurt your feelings.

    I think its very plausible that your partner didn’t mean anything (unless you have some other reason to think they’re unhappy, it was probably just an attempt at humor), but you’re allowed to be hurt by something even if it wasn’t intended to be hurtful. I’d reccomend reflecting on why it was hurtful to you (it seems like this is a big deal to you and its worth examining why that is under the surface), practicing some coping (go do something nice or practice self care) and have an honest conversation with your partner after you’ve examined whether this is caused by something you’re dealing with or an insecurity, and put some energy into coping with the emotions (understanding yourself and taking care of yourself and your emotions are important to ensure its a helpful conversation. Deal with the emotions first, then talk)



  • Unix is a specific operating system, and there are a lot of operating systems based on it or derived from it (Linux, MacOS, BSD, and both Android and ChromeOS which are based on the linux kernel)

    Here’s a handy link to the Wikipedia page for unix. You may find the intro & history sections more useful than the stuff about what Unix is from a technical perspective, or how it works.

    This may be sacrilege, but I don’t mind seeing someone’s Windows customizations here, though its not what the community is intended for
