  • He was very sick for a bit and hid it for awhile so there was lots of talk about his health for a bit then he disappeared from the public eye for awhile because he was fighting cancer and recovering. He never rejoined the public eye to the degree he used to be. He was in Top Gun Maverick though which I remember being kind of a big deal because he hadn't been in much for awhile and of course had had lots of trouble with speech following the cancer I believe.

  • And that's one of their songs that ISN'T about sex. Honestly it's been awhile but I'm honestly struggling to think of a Nirvana song that is actually about (positive) sex rather than using it metaphorically. It makes sense from someone with a very unusual relationship with sexuality. (Ie. Kurt was likely trans but didn't really have the opportunity to discover that)

  • Really still just sounds like you're coming from a place of bigotry to me. I really think you will be a happier and healthier (and probably better) person if you learn to find joy in the things that are the same in other cultures rather than focusing on the things that are different. It is a picture of a silly sign making a silly joke about a common frustration in somebodies profession and all you can think about is how awful you think the people behind it are. The joke is not denigrating anybody, it is not othering anybody, the audience of the sign does not feel unsafe or threatened by it. You are finding issues with it because of the context. Because you have other issues with the culture displayed. That's bigotry.

  • So you agree, the only difference between the jokes is that one is high brow and well said, and the other is low brow and written on a sign at a truck stop. I don't know how you can read what you wrote and not see that you obviously have a chip on your shoulder regarding the types of people associated with the setting rather than some intellectually honest issue with what's in the picture. Just say "I can't find this funny because I fucking hate blue collar Americans". You can do it, you can just say that instead of this "bitch eating crackers" bullshit.

  • Tongue in cheek threats are in fact funny to a tremendous number of people since time immemorial. I'm sorry you don't approve of the way some people enjoy being silly.

    Y'know the cheese shop sketch? The famous monty python sketch where John Cleese ends it with shooting the cheese shop owner for wasting his time? Basically the same joke, famously funny sketch. You just have opinions about "this type of person"

  • The ability to make a silly dumb joke about a minor occupational annoyance is a window into being able to laugh at yourself. Your inability to look at someone making a silly joke without making political condemnations about their character says more about you than about them.

  • Unprofessional human drivers (yes, even you) are unbelievably bad at driving, it's only a matter of time, but call me when you can do it without just moving labor done by decently paid locals to labor done remotely in the third world.

    Tumbleweed Fingerprint Support

    Just put Tumbleweed on my laptop because I was sick of Windows 11 (I used Linux in the past but haven't used it for many years). I have an Elan 04f3:0903 Fingerprint reader which is listed as supported here https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html Don't know how to get it working though, the Tumbleweed user fingerprint configuration I can't get working and fprintd-enroll seems to work better but all I get from fprintd-verify then is "verify-no-match (done)"

    Do I need a testing branch of something or am I just doing something wrong?
