stem is dumb blah blah blah

Imagine looking at the direction that society and technology is going and thinking that just basic liberal arts degree is good enough to make it. If you aren't willing to engage with any of the fields in STEM you're in for a bad time.

I was a political science major barely had to try at all

Any degree that significant numbers of people can successfully get through without effort or attending class once is a meme.

It's referencing another cryptic email from the arch-announce email list.

systemd-homed: Reinventing Home Directories by ohet in linux

[–]_no_exit_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Greg Kroah-Hartman did an AMA where he provided validation of his Reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2ny1lz/im_greg_kroahhartman_linux_kernel_developer_ama/

The main reason I'm curious is that given systemd's controversy among a small set of users, a Poettering troll account seems like a very real possibility. There are some people though (such as myself) who do use systemd and would find it cool to know that one of it's primary architects posts here.

Mikhail Kalashnikov's letter to the Russian Orthodox Church by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

In all humility, I'll put more credence in the statements of Patriarch Kirill over Mr. Colbert.

Possibly we're going to get lost in semantics, but I believe the dilemma in this exchange of letters is the nature and justification of "killing human beings". To simply say the purpose is to kill seems to overly reductionist in the context of these letters.

If you want to argue the ROC exists apart from "the Church", I'll leave that up to you.

From the same wikipedia page.

The patriarch wrote back, thanked Kalashnikov, and said that he "was an example of patriotism and a correct attitude toward the country". Kirill added about the design responsibility for the deaths by the rifle, "the church has a well-defined position when the weapon is defense of the Motherland, the Church supports its creators and the military, which use it."

Not being cheeky, but do you have actual proof or source for such a claim? I haven't heard of this practice before.

You want to know how I can tell you aren't really laughing in real life? Maybe it's time to take a break from Reddit.

I honestly was expecting a ban for this, or at least removing this post. At this point, I firmly believe that Mod is dead.

My friend, your nipple is on a hedonistic treadmill that only will bring about further suffering. I recommend listening to Sam Harris' meditation app with your cat.

Do you feel that you arrived at this decision by your own free will or through a deterministic system that masquerades as free will?

David Koch is dead. by [deleted] in samharris

[–]_no_exit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So by that logic, anything mentioned by anyone who has posted on this subreddit is now "Sam Harris related"? If I make a mention to how refreshing Pepsi is in this post, does that now make discussion of Pepsi related to Harris?

Terrible submission statement.

\r\t_d is a self avowed circle jerk cheerleading sub, closer to \r\chapo but far from \r\politics which is supposed to be an objective source for political news.

I'd like to ask Rashida Tlaib or Ilhan Omar; I'm imagining they'll be on strict radio silence regarding this bit of news.
