No, the fault is with the people who make the TV. It’s not the customers fault that other people are evil.

Writing legible Perl code is the complete antithesis of what the language was created for. This comment shows a complete misunderstanding of Larry Wall’s work.

Some people talk, some people listen.

Those who talk generally don’t listen.

Hypothetically, could a guy called Linus create his own kernel and name it after himself?

“Grow,” the Creator whispered. “Grow, and become.”

Ord didn’t understand. It had been nothing but a lonely moon its whole life. “It hurt,” Ord whimpered feebly. “It hurt, all the time.”

The creator didn’t respond at first. It kept orbiting at the same distance, its thoughts fragmented and superimposed. Eventually the voice of the Lord spoke very clearly and apologized. It was sorry, it said. It hadn’t meant for things to get so out of hand. The history had gotten all mixed up and written down wrong.

Ord told it that was okay. It seemed happy with that. It left shortly after.

Then the planet of Ord started to grow.

Life advice:

a) if you eat stupid food you get tired and ill. Avoid gluten and corn syrup and acquire paleo + protein.

b) you get tired doing exercise you don’t want to do. Folks doing work they enjoy can do it all day long.

You are more than just a point in space. You see others perform actions and you attempt to replicate them.
