"With two attractive people alone in a room like that, what did anyone expect?"

This was said in regards to (art of) a man and a woman who were supposed to be working on something but were instead having sex. Do cishetallo people not understand the concept of a man and a woman being able to do anything alone other than have sex? I'm really worried about them. Are they okay?

(yes, I'm aware it doesn't help much, even with the P100 filters. I just had it lying around and wanted to wear it.)

The one upside to covid is that it's made wearing a respirator in public socially acceptable. Now if only we could make collars socially acceptable...

Incidentally, in case you're curious, the black covers history up until the first cellular lifeforms. The red is after the first cellular life forms. The blue is after the dinosaurs. The incredibly small green bit in the bottom right (which you'd really need to zoom in to see) is all of the existence of homo sapiens. So, geo fact of the day for ya: earth is *ooooolllllddddd*.

So, for a discussion on visualizing earths history in my geo class, I mocked up my idea of using a 4K television. Does, uh, this look familiar to anyone else?

(Spoiler alert: I accidentally created an upside down—and a bit distorted—polya pride flag.)

"Explaining kills the joke" applies when you're telling the joke, not when someone asks you to explain it. If you have to explain it while telling it, maybe rethink the joke and whether the audience is a good one for it. If someone asks you to explain afterwards, that's when you *should* explain the joke.

If your response to users getting fucked over by horrible software design is "Oh, it's the user's fault," you deserve to have the ability to design and build software taken away from you forever. It is your job as a software developer to ensure you aren't bring harm upon your users, and if you think they should have to protect themselves from *your* shitty software design, you should never be allowed to build software in the first place.

Alternatively, if you want to play with the spelling a bit:

Solvent

@quirk Don't have anyone else to use the computer of. rn, I'm experimenting with hiding VM status. I've found some stuff on hiding from programs that they're running in VMWare, so we'll see if that pans out.

@quirk Not an option. It's specifically designed to reject running in a virtual machine.

Oh, goodie goodie. I'm *required* to use LockDown Browser to take quizzes for my chem class. Now, this would be bad enough on its own (it's a horribly invasive and perfectly useless piece of software), but I can't even install the damn thing! No matter how many times I try redownloading, I always get the same error. And this is before the issues I've heard others have had with getting it to work under Wine. If anyone has suggestions, let me know before midnight, would ya?
