Pennywise

I typed that first, instead of damp. But figured that was simply pushing things too far.

Giggle.

Dark, cold, damp, pale, and floating is always nice.

Prepaid visa bought with cash. Next question?

Ok. Why laugh? Are you amused? Didn’t seem like it.

Set boundaries. Don’t laugh if it’s not funny. Some people like pushing buttons… Your buttons in this case.

“That’s not funny. I don’t appreciate those kinds of comments.”

Have you tried that? Cuz usually when people stick up for themselves they don’t need other people to do it for them.

How about “Stop. I won’t tolerate this harassment.”

And body language is important here. You don’t smile. You don’t laugh. You look at them with a look of disgust and contempt. “If looks could kill.”

And then you go talk with HR. And then HR has a talk with them.

Good luck!

It’s kind of federated. You can purchase access through providers and use proxy/vpn.

Most ISPs no longer host or provide access.

Why so self serious?

They do that in South America where tribes spit into a communal pot. I think they were chewing cassava or maize or something like that. There are enzymes (like amylase) in saliva that break down the starches into fermentable sugars.

I think I’d pass, personally. I hear it’s quite sour and I hate sour beer.

Can’t think of anything.

Life’s a journey, not a destination.

Narwhal should be called unicorns of the sea!

Sounds like Hinduism.

Just think. This universe put you here, if only temporarily, so you could wonder about such things.

They say the angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly. Think just how much moreso lighter the creator of the Angels must take itself.

Let’s start at the beginning. One of my first memories is when I was about 4 years old and I was in church and I remember thinking to myself these people are a bunch of liars.

Later in my early teens I stumbled across atheism and I proclaimed that for myself. It was a great time. The four horsemen were all still alive…

25? Still very much atheist. But the problem with atheism is there’s no unity or real community beyond mocking believers, which is distasteful.

Still atheist, I suppose. I prefer pantheist, though. Which really isn’t a religion. It’s very much secular to me. If there is a God then I think the pursuit of science is the pursuit of understanding whatever God (it) is.

I enjoy Unitarian Universalist services. All are welcome. There’s plenty of other non-dom churches. Then there’s eastern flavors: Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, Hinduism, etc.

The Tao Te Ching is very straight forward, IMO. Reminds me quite a bit of Christ’s teachings. I like Jesus. But most self-described Christians don’t seem to.

I think my problem is more with the liars than with the books or imaginary dieties… Especially those who love lies.

Every fork is a derivative work, but not all derivatives are forks.

No idea. I’m from the US. I use quokk.au because it’s super fast and doesn’t bother me with repeatedly verifying that I’m not a bot… unlike practically every other instance I’ve tried.

I googled it. Australia’s Census is based on physical presence, not citizenship or residency.

Nope. And furthermore, you’re not eligible.

You have it right, though, if you reside here then you would.

Phone runs Android. I used to work as an Applecare Advisor supporting iOS and OS X.

Heavily inspired by? I understand that Linux is not derived from Unix source code. But the system architecture… Is extremely similar and in many ways functionally the same.

In art, music, literature, architecture, and ideas, something can be derivative because it inherits a form, vocabulary, conventions, conceptual framework, or design tradition from something earlier.

I do suppose Linux is a Unix derivative. So you’re closest. But no cigar.

BeOS? Oh dear, no.

I could see running Haiku.

Just kidding, no way!
