I’d be funny if he were, but no. “Con man” really is short for “confidence man.”

It’s not actually about the scammer ‘being confident,’ though; it’s about the scammer winning the mark’s trust.

Trump is heavier than Taft?

I saw it in Morrowind.

The Basque Country still belongs to Spain and Northern Ireland still belongs to the UK, so… no, I guess?

I don’t know enough about that cluster in the Balkans to even speculate on it.

god that’s stupid, sorry

Asking if terrorism works isn’t a stupid question. It’s a very impolite question (from the perspective of people in power), and maybe even heartless, but not stupid.

The point is, nobody gives a shit about Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, etc. anymore and your argument is stupid.

Every Unix or Unix-like OS that matters in 2025 is either switching from X11 to Wayland or never used X11 to begin with.

I still have almost no idea what PulseAudio and PipeWire even do, aside from them being two of five(!) different audio-related subsystems that any given sound problem might be related to. (The others being OSS, ALSA, and JACK, which I also don’t understand.)

Well, that explains the lack of farms on the Pelennor Fields in the movie.

I mean, any story like that is basically just ripping off Dances with Wolves.

You don’t think the ‘not-airbenders’ were the ones who lived in trees on floating mountains and rode giant flying things?

IMO it’s the cave-dwelling Na’vi we’re still missing.

I’m having trouble thinking of a time when the natives were able to help themselves against colonizers.

Well, there’s Ethiopia, and uh… it’s a pretty short list.

(I’d also give an honorable mention to Haiti, although the oppressed people in that case were imported African slaves, not natives. By the time of the Haitian Revolution, the indigenous Taíno had long since been pretty much wiped out.)

Trick question: back then, we changed to channel 3 and turned on the device hooked up to the RF adapter.

Also, my parents struggle with changing inputs on the remote now. I’m not sure if they regressed in their old age or never knew to begin with, but either is plausible.

Not just millennials… I’ve been family IT support since the late 80s.

I mean, as a millennial I only missed that by a couple of years. I was already the most computer-literate person in the house when I was 7, in the early '90s.

Good ol’ C-w, M-w, and C-y

Inb4 “Awesome²”

TFW you put so many ads on your site it becomes “very minimalist” when they’re removed, LOL

Not OP, but…

No, that’s ass-backwards. You have to stop catering to drivers first in order to incite them to support building the transit. Politically, it does not, can not, and never will work the other way around.

Your argument is nothing more than disingenuous support for the car-dependent status quo.

Jesus fuck that’s a lot of redactions!

Just imagine how absolutely lousy with Trump’s name those files have to have been to require that much effort to remove all the traces.

The one I worked at played that song just as often as shops did, too.

Worse than Mariah Carey, I swear. And I like Paul McCartney’s music otherwise!

Yep, top is Aziraphale and bottom is Crowley.
