Comment Re:Linux uses Swap even when memory isn't full (Score 1) 24

I always disable swap, unless I am on some pathetically limited hardware. I have 64GB RAM in my desktop and 8GB in my laptop, and no need for any swap on either. Swap just means the system thrashes more before the OOM killer kicks in, plus I don't need a bunch of extra writes on my SSDs.

Well, he's a brain damaged moron, which seems to be pretty typtical for this Administration; an Administration of utter and complete idiots, the very embodiment of Governor of the Dunning-Krueger case studies, by the Dunning-Krueger case studies, and for the Dunning Krueger case studies.

Why pick on Kennedy when it is a government populated by some of the most idiotic incompetent human beings to ever fail upward.

On a plus side, countries like mine (Canada) are starting to see all the smart people flee the pathetic trash heap that is America, seeing no hope that there will come a time when legions of halfwits aren't electing legions of sociopaths and halfwits.

So this time the schools will be closed *and* the children will be lobotomized to make damn sure they're getting stupider.

Exactly. Schools should be kept open and kids should not be quarantine for a measly disease. Let their natural immunity take over. So what if a few have to die. If that means keeping things running, so be it. After all, if parents don't care if their kid dies from a measly disease, why should anyone else care?

You do realize doctors were prescribing this during the pandemic to alleviate symptoms? It's dummies like you that push these false narratives.

Which of course it had no effect on. None. Zero. No one ever demonstrated any effect an anti-parasitic could have on a virus.

The only one lying is you and people like you who "did their research".

Men are the weaker sex. There, I said it. As proof I offer all those who whine about women on OnlyFans making hundreds of thousands of dollars (potentially millions). Tell me, how do those women make all that money? Who is paying them?

As a follow up, for centuries men held sway in everything. It's why they like to point out the lack of female scientists, artists, etc. The reason of course is women were prevented, both physicallly and legally, from being scientists, artists, etc. Until 1974 women in the U.S. couldn't have a credit card in their own name.

Once women started being treated as equals (still not there), things changed. Men no longer had a god-given right to the front office. The old boys club broke down. Women showed there was no difference between what a man did or woman did (with few exceptions). And that scares men. It's why we have such dim bulbs like Peterson* and Tate and many others who do nothing but denegrate women. Everything their life revolved around (only men) is gone and they're scared because now they have to compete and realize they're out of their league. They're not as "good" as they thought they were when compared to women and blame all their ills on women. When boys and young men listen to these dullards they come to the same conclusion. Their life is so bad because of women.

Also, there is genetics. Boys take longer to emotionally mature than women. Ask any teacher. The ones causing problems will invariably be a boy, not a girl. This means, instead of paying attention in school, they're already falling behind by not learning the basics which would prepare them for more advanced studies later on. It's one reason we keep hearing, "You don't have to go to college. You can learn a trade." What they don't tell you is every trade uses the basics (math in particular) to do their job. If boys didn't learn the basics in school, what kind of tradesmen do you think they'll be?

* Peterson once said the idea that women have been discriminated against is appalling. Apparently the fact women couldn't vote until recently isn't discrimination, let alone all the other things women weren't allowed to do simply because they are women.

Not sure that's true so much as most of the rest of the world deserves condemnation. It's not like they have crossed net zero, they have only (hopefully) passed their peak... Way too late.

But those of us whose emissions are still increasing ought to check ourselves and fix it. Drill baby drill doesn't let us have a future, and impacts our present as well.
