A lot of the world's financial systems run on x86 and Linux.

@beardalaxy @verita84 Even without a transgender ban, most of them wouldn't be allowed to serve anyway given how most of them have autism.

@allison @lanodan What advantages did it offer compared to Linux or BSD. My Operating Systems professor said it had terrible task scheduling.

@battlepenguin You really made a good point that's it's natural that there are people in our lives that we will never see again.

I recently deleted my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. From my blog post:

"...The voyeuristic gaze into the lives of others may give us a sense of keeping up with friends, when really all we are seeing are projections of people, without the real consequence of showing that we care...."

@TrevorGoodchild @shebang Trannies are single-minded autists who only care about approval of their own lifestyle, so TERFs are as bad as literal Nazis to them.

@judgedread @Akagi This is probably going to be the case if this Great Reset is going to actually happen.

A common tactic of abusers is to disallow their victims from talking to anyone about their relationship.

YouTube regularly demonetizes and suppresses creators who are critical of their policies or behavior.

@sim @coolboymew @why here's some movie-watching advice I can give you:

1. Watch a big mixture of movies. Old and new. Foreign and AmeriKKKan. Live-action and animation. Good and bad. Fiction and non-fiction. Fiction and non-fiction. Don't get caught in a rut.

2. Try getting lost in a specific sub-genre. Like, you can watch every Hong Kong action flick that Quentin Tarantino copied from. Or find a director you like and watch every single one of their movies to see how they changed over the years. Or look at your favorite actor's career from when they first acted in a candy commercial in 1976 to the current year where they can captivate you.

3. Read books about screenwriting. Robert McKee's was pretty good, and the 500 pages are more like 300 because half the book is pieces of movie scripts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042FZVOY/

4. Read books about the filmmaking process. Here's one I really enjoying listening to the audiobook of (mostly because the guy reading it did a great George Lucas impression): https://www.amazon.com/Secret-History-Star-Wars-ebook/dp/B008BM7M3C

5. Look at professional reviewers in print and on Youtube and find one you like. You don't have to agree with them all the time, but find one you like. For example, Roger Ebert's opinions are often wrong, but he was the best movie reviewer without a doubt. Read his original Star Wars review:
