They wouldn’t want to use or derive any compromised software themselves. They would want any adversaries to have it implemented.

I haven’t looked at the keyboard drivers, or much Linux source. I never really had a reason to do a lot of C other than small microcontroller projects.

But I see this stuff and think of how awesome it must have felt to get a different keyboard working on an OS the first time. I have to do all this stuff with cloud, and api levels, and configuring CI/CD pipelines, and sometimes I get to write backend C# code or they let me play in the front end. Most of the time it’s telling another team of developers what to do, and listening to our clients explain the problems and I have to figure out if we already have anything to fulfill at least some of those needs.

These drivers are the divine marriage of hardware that’s not native to the machine that an OS is running on. It’s so beautiful to read. You can visualize where the values enter a memory address, and bits get shifted or something is static so the keyboard always uses the right thing.

also, might be a good idea to have a few phone numbers of criminal defence attorneys memorized

well that’s gonna be a problem

You know I don’t really know.

Pretty certain my ex would be upset. My lack of sympathy for the death of that CEO could get me in trouble with my job maybe.

If people I know didn’t think of me as a loner weird guy before they would now.

Hell I haven’t even posted a witty response to a comment on like a pornhub video or anything.

Im too boring to get fucked :/

No no see the problem is that you have money, and you need to give them that money otherwise they can’t get more money

I see this meme format

I upvote

I am simple man

I loved this movie as a kid, and still love it today

You have no idea. Empathy is seen as a weakness. Especially the more power you have in a career.

Thank you. That means a lot. I guess that’s the part I’m most uncomfortable with - why is expressing emotion seen as vulnerability? It’s one of our most effective methods of communication, particularly of empathy.

That… Actually makes more sense and a thought I was trying to avoid. I know she said a lot of things where she said things to avoid feeling like the bad guy. Unfortunately for her, cheating on your marriage doesn’t have a defense.

Vulnerability is for people you trust.

And this is what needs to change. In order to trust someone, a level of vulnerability is required. We must demand that expression of emotion is not seen as vulnerability, but as a human need.

Feminism is explicitly about the social equality of sexes.

It’s terrible to see. It’s another feature of the patriarchy and toxic masculinity - blaming the victims. It’s why it has been going on for so long.

In a similar vein: Why do women not report rape? This is why. Because even women have been so oppressed by the system that they will even question “if they were asking for it.”

You know, I hadn’t really thought about the benefit that LGBTQ+ acceptance plays in this.

Of everyone who has been so supportive of me, it’s been my queer and non-binary friends.

I am a straight white male with money. While it upsets me to see women saying stuff like this post, I also know that I am not going to blame the women perpetuating the problem, because they themselves are victims of toxic masculinity and established gender norms.

I don’t know if I want to blame the patriarchy or the toxic masculinity that goes with it, but crap. My ex was so not ok when I cried over the discovery of her affair.

She genuinely thought I was trying to manipulate her. I was “too extremely emotional” over it. We were highschool sweethearts, had a kid, and she always talked about how she was disgusted with her own mother for having an affair. Even to the point where she cut off contact with her mother until they ended that relationship.

“No man goes to bed crying because their wife cheated on them or sends nudes to the same guy 4 years later.”

There were red flags earlier than that. “Why are you crying over a movie?” (I always do at emotional bits). “Man up, no one wants to be with someone expresses sadness.”

What’s worse is that it’s pretty much why I don’t bother going out, or have much motivation to get back into the dating game. The patriarchy and toxic masculinity has ruined being human to me. I don’t want to be friends with people who cover up all their emotions. I don’t want to be friends with guys who are clearly over compensating. Then the girls turn around complain about these men being cruel to them, yet state things like this.

Then you have all the men who have this strange belief that they are owed women, and by behaving like that they get the women they are owed. I won’t take part in that. I will not hurt someone else just to satisfy my desires. If that means I don’t date, I’m much more comfortable being a good person and alone.

I also try to bring it up in conversation, and then people turn around and act like my refusal to participate in patriarchal behavior is anti-social. I had one person point out “technically, you aren’t getting any, even though you want it, making you an incel.” I was so shocked. Its not the fault of women I’m not out getting laid. Its men. It’s the patriarchy. It’s this system set up to isolate me because I have an intense emotional awareness.

Fair. The powers that be would stick it to anything but white mass murderers.

I haven’t. Every gun is loaded.

But that’s my point. In the Vietnam war, the conscripts had no idea when they’d die from stepping on a mine, or being sniped by an enemy guerilla in the jungle trees, or just being turned into pink mist in general. The draftees didn’t want to be there, they knew there was no support for the war at home. They wanted a silly bong, fuck the risks, it could be the last rip you took anyway. For all we know one of those guys stood up after the video and ended up headbutting lead.

Duh the actual target was Terrorism.

Since that word had lost all meaning like I said it would once they stuck it to Luigi.

“We stood behind Obama” and repeatedly came up with racist and hateful statements that you and your friends were using long before I was even born.

No.

The meme is pointing out that the non-violent solution didn’t work. The “common cultural knowledge” that makes it humourus is that a wealthy guy with 37+ felony convictions and no interest in the common people. Luigi killed one dude that had it coming.

It’s not glorifying a thing. It’s the common millennial Gallows Humor.
