Manual typewriters. You did not precised the age of the technology in question!

Do you knew that there are an average of 1’800 parts in a typewriter? That it can print in two colors, with different margins, different interlinear space, tabulations and that some even have things like word count? It’s a marvelous and yet understandable piece of technology. Someone technically inclined can understand 100% of the working of a typewriter, nobody can understand 100% of a word processor.

Me, yesterday: “I shouldn’t put that booklet with the discounts to show at the checkout in the back pocket of my jeans, it’ll fall out and I’ll be in trouble.”

Me: do it anyway.

Me, at the checkout: “Fuck, I lost the booklet”

Oooh I totally forgot that I did play with MS Paint! I invented cities, countries, or I just did what you described. Fun times!

They don’t have to give money to receive it back. They just keep it, while still having tourists (cf France).

I like this image. I’m a citizen of a small monarchy, and I used to be a staunch republican (in the European sense). I’m still not a big fan of the monarchy, but it’s a way to help conservatives feel secure while being, in fine, more open than the neighboring republics. But we don’t have a House of Lords or any nobility beside the reigning immediate family, so that helps accepting the monarchy.

Criticising those who criticise liberals for acting morally superior and not taking action to feel morally superior and not have to take action to feel morally superior and not have to take action to feel morally superior and not have to take action.

Absolution requires to ask for forgiveness; to ask for forgiveness requires the owning of our wrongs; to Owen our wrongs require reparation and trying at best of our possibility to stop repeating our wrongs.

For the, the main source of proto-fascism is nationalism. The form of governement is secondary.

I am a citizen of two countries: a republic and a monarchy. Both are advanced European liberal democracies.

One has a strong far right, refuse to acknowledge its own regional languages because of the threat they pose to the national unity and has a very strong head of state that can decide a lot of things alone, without being responsible before the Parliament.

The other has almost no far right, a very numerous immigrated population, recognizes three national languages but officially communicates in two other languages spoken by its two biggest immigrated communities, has a weak head of state and a strong Parliament.

Which one is the most “proto-fascist”? The first.

Which one is a monarchy? The second.

Ferré authorized the execution of several hostages, including Darboy and the archbishop.

Darboy was the archbishop.

I hurt myself with a secateur!

I made a false move when picking it up.

Which version do you use with which OS? As a GNOME user I don’t need it, but I’m pretty sure Thunderbird has a system tray.

Thunderbird is great. But if you don’t like it only because of Mozilla (the interface is customizable so that’s not an argument) there is a fork which does almost everything like Thunderbird, is slightly better on some points, and slightly worse on some others, called Betterbird. It has in my point of view no interesting point, but it’s not Mozilla.

My favourite comment is similar: the Firefox/Windows copypasta.

Same, but “as long as I can” generally means a few hours.

English is not my mother tongue, so yeah my word choice may be bad. But I said that children shouldn’t be allowed alone on computers before 6. Not only PCs, but all kinds of computers: PCs, smartphones, tablets, consoles, … However, for short periods of time and accompanied by an adult, they can use a computer.

A console is a computer.
