I've used ls, cat, echo, cd, mkdir, mv, cp, rm, & ssh pretty much every day I've touched a computer since some time near the end of the twentieth century. Honorable mention to sudo, find, rename, ffmpeg, Gimp, & VLC. If you count ROMs for games, the list gets into the deeper past, though I don't use them as often. I guess I still need to get around a few Windows/DOS machines, so ~~DIR and~~ (I don't love DIR) CD ~~are~~ is probably the absolute oldest when at the keyboard, but it's technically a different thing for different systems even though it does the same task.

As for loving it, I love when shit just works and I love the command line.

What is up with the sudden influx of this awful artist's horny misogynistic shit getting posted over and over and over lately? Most of it gets rightly downvoted to hell, but plenty of it isn't outright offensive enough in the moment to offset the up votes for boobs. Between this creep and Beep (the other horny shit stain cropping artist attribution and AI upscaling comics), the content here has really taken a turn for the worse. It's like as soon as everyone turned on Beep, this other jerk popped up and started spewing another variety of horny slop. Seems like too much of coincidence to be a coincidence.

Not that Steve Martin.

Figured Nadar would be pointing the camera straight down.

A marriage is between two people and their families. It's always personal and anecdotal. Fighting the patriarchy and gender stereotypes doesn't always happen on grand civic scales, it happens in many many boring everyday personal anecdotal interactions.

Some people have an account on many many many different instances and cross post to them all from different accounts so that when you block their account on one instance you'll still see the posts from their alts. Could this be part of what you're seeing?

It's not. I asked their mother. But asked isn't even really the right word. I discussed proposing to their child with them first out of empathy, courtesy, respect, just plain demonstrating the ability to have real life adult conversations. I think using the idiom of "Asking for permission" really has some pedants in this thread in a twist.

Somebody's got to mention Red Dwarf. It's kind of like if The Office (UK) and Farscape had a baby and raised it on an old Dr. Who set.

I get that you're trying to be witty, but ... Well I don't know what to say that isn't mean. I just don't think it's funny anymore.

For the hopelessly literal and pedantic, the School is named after Joseph L. Mailman, a business person that donated a bunch of money, not a gender exclusive profession.

Hey Beep, forget to switch accounts?

I was thinking maybe an old Spanish Land Grant or something maybe. But, that doesn't seem to be the case. That block is orientated north, while the surrounding blocks are oriented parallel with the coast, just east (right) of the crop. So then, I thought that maybe it was one weird plat of lot and the city grew around it. Nope. The thing is, you can look up all the plats (thanks to Florida's sunshine laws) back to the original bureau of land management surveys (thanks to the BLM & labins.org).There aren't even that many. This neighborhood has been like this from it's beginning as far as I can tell. Around 1911 the whole town, then called Pablo Beach, was platted. And right there in the middle is this weird block, seemingly by design and without explanation. It was replatted in 1922, keeping the twisted block intact. It's been residential neighborhood and largely unchanged since then (at least as far as the parcels and streets are concerned).

Take a look at the timeline for cigarettes. The time between something causing harm and someone putting together the statistics to prove that it does is not that short. 2006 was like yesterday. Kids that started vaping as children in 2006 aren't even old enough for a midlife crisis yet.
