There are many good people who die every day - people who cared for others, didn’t discriminate, didn’t belittle race, sex, gender, or wanting a better world.

Chuck Norris was not such a person, and deserves no sympathy from me.

So, basically: Rotting flesh-eating zombie bees produce honey which few outside of a certain cultural milieu will ever find appetizing or acceptable? 😃

Nah! We were just tougher back then!

Also, with no internet, nothing was around to distract you for 24 hours, or days, to try to solve one puzzle.

Kids these days don’t understand the struggle!

😃

As if I’m supposed to take them at their word?

Not bloody likely.

No, though I did post specifically that I condone what he did. It wasn’t that though. I’m dual national American and French. I grew up a lot in the USA, but I’ve been living in France for over ten years and I’ve chosen my side in this fight. To that end: I’ve been 100% serious about getting off of the American tech stack. I’ve left iCloud (Apple Music forthcoming) entirely, and been getting off of more and more non-EU/FOSS places. I’ve been blogging about it to help others. It’s been rewarding. Lemmy was just another step to take. 😃👍

Around 1200, I start having a little trouble, but I can still read most of it fairly well. 1100 is when I start to lose a lot of it, struggling through. 1000 is what I remember from trying to write papers on this stuff in University wherein I’d use translated copies side by side.

Maybe I can go back further than some others because I’m so damned old. 🤣

Well, given that it was posted in Memes, and after what he said the other day, it’s pretty easy to determine that it is parody. However, I do sympathize, as we are living in an age where most headlines appear to have come out of The Onion a mere decade ago, but are in fact the reality we face today.

Yeah, I’ve been writing about this idiocy since almost thirty years. Fighting evil doesn’t make you just as bad as evil. Using that “logic”, we were wrong to bomb the hell out of the Nazis and shoot them in Europe. We were “bad” to do so? I don’t think so. It’s idiotic to think that. In fact, it’s an utter betrayal of the enlightenment values amongst which we gained the idea of nuance under the law. It portrays a philosophy devoid of any actual thought, relying simply on mindless knee-jerk reactions.

That kid is a fucking hero. I said so on Reddit when it happened, and I’m saying it here now as well. I condone his actions and, if more people did what he did, we would stand a better fighting chance against this loathsome menace currently destroying everything good in the USA and abroad.
