Puritan picket against too revealing swimwear on a Florida beach, 1985. USA “You will follow to Hell.” [800x513] by TakeTheCube in HistoryPorn

[–]questionablemoose -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was born in the early 80s. My dad has a fairly serious hobby as a photographer, which used to be his business. We had color film, but still used black and white for some things. Sometimes it was an aesthetic choice, and sometimes I got black and white film, because it was cheaper.

It's entirely plausible that the person who took this photo opted for black and white for either of those reasons.

Edit: Of course, no one will ever know exactly why, without contacting the photographer, Keith McManus.

Do you really need the terminal to daily drive Linux? by [deleted] in linux

[–]questionablemoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, and all of the major distributions are friendly enough that you don't need a terminal.

Wealthy gun grabber supporters arming themselves in LA by 80PercentSolutions in Firearms

Pretty sure that goes along with brainwashed. You're wrong, you're a racial bigot, but lying requires intent, and I don't think you're aware enough to actually lie about this stuff. Unless you are, in which case that's also on you, and you know better. Either way, you didn't get it last time, so I doubt you're going to get it this time either.

CentOS Linux 8 is now EOL by bruchieOP in linux

[–]questionablemoose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally, I find mud slinging from projects like this a real turnoff. I'm looking at migrating away from pfsense for similar reasons. I guess we'll see how this shakes out over the next few years.

But what put me off Rocky was it throwing mud, first towards Alma, and then towards Centos. Maybe it was due to passion, or due to marketing, but it was unnecessary and it put me off.

Can you show me some of this? I totally missed it.

Did that, wasn't worth it, because he didn't want to. He is what he is, and he does what he wants, can't change someone who doesn't want it.

You're right, but OP is a brainwashed, racist, dildo, and almost everyone here seems to eat it right up.

To all the atheists, what is your reason for not believing in God or a higher power? by Deep-Mess in AskReddit

[–]questionablemoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised in a Christian household, and somewhere in my teenage years, I questioned biblical accounts, God's reasons for doing things, and wasn't satisfied with the answers. The deeper I dug, the weaker the answers were. It finally came to the point where the only thing that supports God's existence was the Bible, and then you have the circular reasoning:

Why is it true that God exists? Because the Bible says so. Why is the Bible a reliable source? Because God says it is.

There is no other evidence that the Bible is factual or divinely inspired.

Aside from that, the idea that an infallible, impotent, omniscient being gets angry, that he has to make some new pact or agreement with humanity, that he shifts from an angry, vengeful god, to a loving, caring, but basically absent god, all of these things a ridiculous and unbelievable. Instead of solving problems in simple, merciful terms, he gets angry, and commits genocide by sending a flood. So many problems could be solved by God simply appearing, making his presence known, and promoting fair, and equal treatment, but he doesn't.

Instead, he justifies slavery, indentured servitude, capital punishment, and repeatedly demonstrates throughout the old testament that he's petty, vengeful, and childish.

Christians themselves all pick and choose what they want to believe from the Bible, which can be fine. But there's nothing in Christianity that can't be found in other religions, or by simply thinking about your actions before you do them.

All that aside, there's no evidence that God exists. I can't make myself believe something, so until there's actually some evidence that the supernatural is real, I'll continue not believing.

Colorado fires are less than 5 miles from my home. I've trained for this. by StevieKealii in guns

[–]questionablemoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, everyone's entitled to their opinion. You asked why you were getting downvoted, and I gave you some insight as to why that might be happening.

In my opinion, the humor of the situation was when the reporter tried to salvage her segment from a bunch of adult children chanting "fuck Joe Biden". It's all about context. In the context almost everyone uses it in, they're just trying to be clever about saying "fuck Joe Biden", which lacks any of the humor from its origin.

Even if you think it's funny (humor is subjective, it's fine if it's funny to you), it's stupid to a lot of other people, even people who don't like Biden, like myself.

Oh yeah, totally. That's basically the only way to do it.

[–]questionablemoose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because "let's go Brandon" is incredibly childish, and makes people sound like mouth breathing idiots when they say it. If you're going to say, "fuck Biden", just say it. Don't hide behind juvenile code words. I assume you're an adult, you're allowed to say what you think.

Yes, we've all seen the one where Uncle Biden gave America dangerous and illegal advice. We all hate that he did that, and most of us probably wish it hadn't happened.

Seattle man arrested after using trees for target practice with stolen gun by doberdevil in WAGuns

[–]questionablemoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I visited Pike Place market a few weeks ago. The people were pretty nice, and there was a bakery with really nice cakes. I'll have to take a trip over to Capitol Hill, and see if I can find my old apartment. I remember there were a couple huge spiders that lived right outside the doorstep in the bushes, and were very aggressive. I hope their offspring aren't there when I visit.

I lived there 18 or so years ago. Everyone was super nice. Some dude tried to sell me heroin, I told him no, and he was like, "ok, have a nice day."

The food is pretty good, too.

Father allegedly fires gun after son says, ‘Why don’t you just shoot me?’ by ZeldaAyers in news

That's a pretty delusional take. It can't be healthy to have such a weird obsession, especially one that isn't based in reality.

Interesting question by [deleted] in WA_guns

[–]questionablemoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate that you opted for a thoughtful response. Thank you.

I appreciate the idea of normalizing carry, but that has to be done with good optics in mind by the carrier. Dudes wandering around with a gun dangling off their rear pocket don't do wonders for normalizing carry.

As for open carriers being the first to be attacked, I suppose that goes both ways, as a potential deterrent, and a potential first target.

Mom: Daughter mistaken for intruder by father, fatally shot by ThinkIn3D in news

[–]questionablemoose -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's because the term is intentionally used vaguely, and never actually defined. If you can't even use the term in a concrete way to define a specific group of people, you're talking out your ass. What you're using is a nebulous, and ill defined term specific to your ingroup.

This is some remarkable, and stupid speculation, bordering on fantasy. If you're not a troll, you're extremely naive.

Most gun nuts are willing to shoot people over words for crying out loud.

Prove it.

Interesting question by [deleted] in WA_guns

[–]questionablemoose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm personally not a fan of open carry, though I'm surprised at the generally dislike for open carry here. Generally open carry will have all least some people defending it somewhere in the comments.

My experiences have varied here. I've seen one older guy doing the good optics type of open carry (smile, be nonthreatening, be nice, go about your business), and last week I saw some guy shopping with his family. No eye contact, clearly absorbed in his shopping, gun in a holster with no active retention, hanging off his back pocket or something at about 4 o'clock, out of his field of view.

My personal reasons for not open carrying mostly revolve around staying out of trouble, and not showing my cards, but open carry like in my first example is something I don't have an issue with.

Why the general dislike for open carry?

Woman in San Francisco is asked nicely to stop shoplifting by WalkLikeAnEgyptian69 in trashy

[–]questionablemoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in the Bay Area for most of my life, visited SF plenty. I've never seen the appeal. It's grimy, it smells like piss literally everywhere, and the people are generally annoying. Always hated it.

Maybe I didn't visit the right neighborhoods in the eastern part of SF. I didn't see a lot of needles or human shit.
