Sharknado isn’t fun. Being a bad movie on purpose is just cringeworthy. Bad movies are fun when they’re a serious (delusional) effort that failed miserably.

It’s spelled C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

Bicycling requires strength and endurance.

So does cleaning a house, but that’s “women’s work”.

Is it that you’re in control of a heavier and more powerful machine?

That’s it. You didn’t get it at first because made the mistake of associating manliness with things like patience, strength, hard work, endurance both of toil and hardship; all things that do make up ideals of manliness to normal people. But you need to approach it from the perspective of a wastrel, a weak, foolish, and lazy person who demands the respect and deference of being manly without putting in the hard work—something he has avoided all his life. He might praise hard work in abstract, but he has no discipline for it and doesn’t respect those who actually do it, he just considers them beneath him. To such a person, the defining aspect of manliness and machismo is mastery, mastery over others and their wills, and since mastery through work is a waste of time to him, he turns to shortcuts.

From there, it’s not hard to see where the thought process goes. Since strength is to him based on control and mastery, he picks something that gives him more command over the road in a direct and in-your-face way. The man who drives a lifted Ram 2500 can confront you by running you the fuck over. By contrast, in his opinion, cyclists are entitled jackasses in miniscule booty shorts who can only confront you on the road by screaming “CRITICAL MASS! FUCKING CAGER!” and throwing sparkplugs at your windows. The difference in power dynamic is proof enough to our friend of who the “real man” is.

To take the mentality to its conclusion, the easiest way to gain mastery in general is through authority, and the easiest way to get that, even easier than joining a gang, is by becoming a cop.

Given the number of times I’ve seen cops on police forums and r/protectandserve use terms like “bikefags”, I think it’s just the typical cop disgust of anything they perceive to be weak or effeminate.

That’s still an advertisement. It’s an advertisement for something you’re already using to encourage you to use more features of it so they can get analytic data from your usage patterns.

Bravecels are all the same, maybe they get two extra shitcoins every time they shill for it.

^ This statement is an outright admission that they’re right.

ITT: lemmings who don’t know about color temperature

Removed by mod

It’s significant because it’s a choice, the normal number is zero

Bad news for the 3 or 4 people out there who didn’t just use the package manager to install everything.

Got it. I thought it wasn’t relevant to this context, and I was right.

Calm down

I’m good, I dropped out of zoology before I qualified on exercising sea lions

Is your ability to deliberately misinterpret everything you read the result of study, or does it come naturally?

What is this proselytization adding, here?

It can’t be much more complicated than basic reading comprehension, but that’s clearly beyond you.

How much damage to end users deal

When I was in IT

most people aren’t

most people click

1. I’m talking about home computers

2. Skill issue + not my problem. It doesn’t matter if most people are competent, they should have full control over their property. The ones who fuck up will be responsible for the consequences of their actions. Most people are too stupid to use power tools correctly, but the last time I checked, I didn’t have to nicely ask Milwaukee to unlock the bootloader on my drill so I could use it with torx bits.

No, it’s like saying having admin permissions is one of the most dangerous things you can do on your home computer. Only an idiot would think that.
