Disagree. 2000, Vista, and especially 7 all looked better than XP. XP was childish.

Nothing else works

With the exception of some UI elements I need third party tools to restore to their previous customizability, I’ve had no problems making anything that worked in 10 work in 11. Which isn’t surprising, 11 is 10, with a shitty UI redesign.

What doesn’t work?

Man I loved Aero and I’m excited for iOS and iPadOS 26. Shit looks beautiful.

There are a lot of things they’re supposed to do that they don’t.

FoE has “report cards” on the major companies and they’re all awful.

Yep. I was really annoyed when Windows moved away from the aero effects of Vista and 7 to the flat look of 8/8.1, 10, and 11.

(Yes yes, Windows bad. I have to use it for work.)

I’m looking forward to this, I think it looks gorgeous.

I dunno man, I’ve seen The Abyss, I don’t think it’s very peaceful down there with all the aliens and Cold War submarines.

We’re delightful and, as the commenter said, we make for great tanks.

Dude was watching her report, and when she stopped talking and stepped aside, he casually shot her. I think he was hoping to get her when the camera was off. What an asshole.

There's all-inclusive resorts, yes, and I've found they're generally more expensive than cruises. If you make your resort hotel float, it's cheaper. I don't know why.

Because you can get away with following very few regulations if you’re in international waters, and pollute the shit out of the environment. Cruises are horrible, environmentally speaking.

My wife’s family loves cruises. I have made it very clear that I am morally opposed and will not join them on one, but her mom has tried to schedule a cruise as a family vacation anyway at least twice. I think she now finally understands I’m not going to be convinced by being told how much fun they are, after I outright said, “I understand they’re awesome, I’m sure I would love it, but I am not going to support that industry and its practices.”

At one point I honestly think she thought if she just got it scheduled and everyone else was onboard I’d come along. Fortunately she never got that far.

(I promise she’s actually a pretty cool person, I love my mother-in-law very much, but she can be stubborn.)

Because according to the Christian faith, the death on the cross is the moment of victory. The divide-by-zero that absolves sin.

So, I’m no theologian, but I did grow up studying this stuff quite a bit. Here’s a probably-flawed explanation of my understanding of the teaching.

God created the world, and the creation fell short of his image for it. That’s what “sin” is, a falling-short-of-perfection. God’s perfect nature requires perfection for communion with his creation, so in an attempt to bring humanity back into communion with him, Jesus (who is both God and human) comes to live among the creation, lives a perfect life, and is killed. The teaching is that death is a result of imperfection, so the death of someone with human nature who was perfect wipes out the “cost” of sin.

So humans are again able to be connected with their Creator, despite the fact that none of them are perfect.

Christians are encouraged to follow the laws of scripture not because failure to do so will damn them, but because said laws can be good for them. The Bible outright says humans cannot get to heaven through their actions. So when Christians get all high and mighty about sin, they’re missing the point entirely. (Or, perhaps, they’re following what they’ve been taught by people who use religion to control people.)

It frustrates me to see Christians championing anti-LGBT causes and whatnot. Like, I don’t care if you think it’s sinful, the entire point of the religion is that everyone is sinful. The Bible is clear on this. Jesus came for sinners. After all, if people were perfect they wouldn’t need a savior in this system.

Someone can probably do a better, more theologically consistent job explaining this, but that’s my understanding.

Let go of the hate, my friend. It does you no good to carry that weight.

I’ve got some religious people you should meet, who fly pride flags and preach inclusivity, affirmation, and love. They like to talk about how Jesus welcomed sinners and told the proud holier-than-thou hypocrite-types they could fuck right off.

Don’t paint with black and white. There’s a whole spectrum out there in this beautiful world.
