  • You’re not fooling anyone, Communist.

    Congrats on winning the argument, anyone who gets told this. If their entire argument is “you’re a commu-social-marxist” then they have no argument and they’re delusionally living in the McCarthy age.

    Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to like this?

    LMAO am I supposed to know who this guy is? Because this sounds like an “I’m so important you should have more respect and by respect I mean do what I say” but it could be a “you aren’t fooling anyone” I suppose.


  • 200 XYZ employees are riding a metro line and 150 are in 3 busses, and they all decide to drive one day, OH look there are now up to 350 extra cars on the road today, all going to the same building.

    Please tell me how it’s XYZ employees themselves that create congestion and not the extra 350 cars, without saying something along the lines of “if they didn’t all decide to drive that day” or “they should have done something else”

    He probably didn’t mean to kill the guy

    Are you his lawyer?

    When you run someone over, you DO NOT have the defence of “I didn’t mean to kill anyone”, and if you have to ride over a curb to do it, you will never be able to convince me that wasn’t the plan from the start.

    Running this man over wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t an oopsie-doodle where someone got mildly hurt by an inattentive or incompetent driver.

    This was “I’m big and I don’t like this person for X reason, hahahaha run little man. Wait did that motherfucker just tap my car with his fist? OH HELL NO GET STOMPED ON BITCH”

    I’m stereotyping the internal monologue, but the point is the same. “jumped curb, injured cyclist, cyclist hits car, driver decides to run him over in response” there is no way to spin that as “it wasn’t intentional”

    Idk if you bike on roads often, but I do, and I have heard this argument so many times after almost being hit (or ACTUALLY being hit) and it just pisses me off when I hear it. Nothing against you.








  • Ah. Well that’s a relief, I removed foxit, and never had anything Adobe.

    I open the pdfs in inkscape to pull the vector files and save them as an svg. There’s probably a simpler way, but this allows me to open the vector in a lot more programs like my laser software and my CAD programs.

    The only pdfs that get printed like a normal person are small rc planes and the files are from trusted sources.

    It’s nice to know I can do a little extra to protect myself from pdf based attacks though, thanks for the info!



  • Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don’t trust torrents anymore.

    Honestly, I don’t trust PDFs anymore unless they’re from places I know are “safe” which kind of sucks because I’ve been getting back into RC as a hobby and it’s hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I’m having to try my luck with jpg and png files.

    A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I’ve been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn’t shit is proving difficult.
