I only learned what pacman -Syu meant, after literal years of typing it in not knowing anything other than "this updates the packages", because I got curious and googled it.

To me it was just an adeptus mechanicus incantation.

EDIT: And I still have no clue how 'y' translates to 'refresh the database'. Like. Sure. S to synchronise from the server to the computer. And u to mark for update all the updatable packages. But -- Why the fuck is 'y' the refresh?

~~Does it also contain the latest patches for my Autism?~~

This meem is ahistorical

Cats just sorta moved in with us when we started doing agriculture, because of all the bugs and mice.

"All of the above and more"

Makes sense I suppose.

Ah. I see that the Trump administration has managed to pull the same thing as the Bolsonaro administration did.

Oh I didn't make this, I saved it like eleventy bajillion years ago

This trick is impossible* to pull on lemmy because each instance and client app will have its own appearance for the "thing didn't load" error.

Why not both?

Anyway, I was thinking less 'european aristocrat' and more 'steampunk aesthetics' when I talked about vests. Dress shirt, tie, vest, and overcoat, all slightly stained with oil from physically impossible doohickeys full of gears. T'is a nice aesthetic.

I've watched every series of nuWho and have been slowly working my way through the Classic series now.

.... Imma be honest?

Every new Doctor is "the worst Doctor" and every new Companion is "the worst Companion".

Until they grow on you. Then you like them. Then it changes again and you hate it again.

In reality I feel like DW as a whole has always been all over the place, with amazing stories and deeply uninteresting stories all the time and no real way to predict what would come next.

Case in point I just reached Jo Grant (3rd Doctor's First Companion)'s departure from the series and been introduced to Sarah Jane Smith.

I know for a fact that Sarah Jane Smith is universally beloved. (because I know the show's legacy and all that, even if I'm going into the actual classic series blind) She was also the longest lasting companion in the entire series history. But right now, with the change having just happened, I can't not be a bit ":\" about her. I liked Jo!

But you don't need to be following the news personally.

Many people around you are.

Those people have this perception, and so they act accordingly. You are looking at memes? Well it's a matter of hours until you see a meme about wanting to die on 196 or whatever. You watching TV Shows? Yeah TV Shows are entirely drunk on the zeitgeist and the zeitgeist is one of despair.

Ergo. You are surrounded by people who think everything is fucked (tm) -- And therefore you'll also feel like everything is fucked (tm)
