How do you define intelligence? What evidence do you have that intelligence is genetic?

You can have faith that your friend won't cheat you, because based upon their previous actions they have proven trustworthy. That is faith backed up by logic.

It was 10 days, but, yeah, not a lot of time, especially for one guy. (That one guy was Brendan Eich, by the way.)

It isn't just a copypasta. As KnowYourMeme points out, it comes from Richard Stallman. Wikipedia has a good article about it here.

The term GNU/Linux is promoted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and its founder Richard Stallman. Their reasoning is that the GNU project was the main contributor for not only many of the operating system components used in the subsequent development of modern "Linux" systems, but also the associated free software philosophy.

Certain people get angry if you do not refer to it as GNU/Linux.

I've never seen this happen. I've heard a lot of people complaining about these people, though.

It's like veganism. I've never met a militant vegan, but I've heard tons of people complain about them.

I think it's an effective strategy to avoid taking about real issues.

I admit I don't know much about it, but I got the impression that it's great when you need a very minimal Linux system, like for Docker containers.

It's the same reason why people argue about how to pronounce GIF. People get used to doing things one way and they don't want to change.

Are you saying that Alex Jones said something...that was untrue?

It isn't a good test, because YouTube algorithms are shitty. For example, I disagree with Ben Shapiro probably 90% of the time and think he's an odious troll, but because I watched him in a debate once, YT pushed videos of him for months after.

So, one day I'm hanging out with my friend, and he introduces me to his friend. Middle-aged guy, seems pretty nice, but he's having a shit day. Why? Because he had to copy something from an email, and he spent about an hour, flipping back and forth between two windows, copying the email into a Word document or something. I was dumbfounded, and I said "Why didn't you just copy-paste?" The guy stalks off with his head down, muttering under his breath.
