I think it's the majority, still. Not sure if that's technically changed to KDE with Steam Decks though.

Depends on the wasp, "wasp" includes so many species you might as well say "mammals aren't good they're useless and ontologically evil and deserve nothing but death" except there's like 20x more species of wasp. Only a few wasp species sting, and those can go fuck themselves, but the rest are pretty cool pollinators or parasites of other insects (some of those insects harmful to humans, even). There's a species of wasp that's so small it's 186 μm long on average (smaller than many amoebae), a few of them fit into and parasitize insect eggs, and during development remove the nuclei from their neurons so their brains can fit. They're pretty cool tbh.

Future etymologists will conjecture that it has something to do with the popularization of an obscure lichen meme combined with a contraction of the word "submissive" within the BDSM context, and only started being used as an ironic punctuation to statements after another popular meme, similar to the origin of how "F" is used as a common, brief response to a tragedy.

Yes. Yes we are.

37 is my favorite, because 3x7x37=777 (three sevens), and I think that's neat.

That probably won't work by default because ulimit sets maximum processes per user, but I haven't tried it recently, or with emacs.

I do believe you have to have serious mental health issues to remain a billionaire, and I do pity them; in a perfect world the possibility of such wealth disparity wouldn't exist, and those with those tendencies would get the help they need without being surrounded by yes-men hoping for a sliver of wealth. They are probably incredibly emotionally isolated and lonely, and the pain they cause through hoarding is inexcusable and it would be better for everyone if that wealth was redistributed, including themselves.

Their world seems so limiting. I wonder if that makes them feel safer or something.

You're thinking of CO, increased CO2 in the blood (which when dissolved becomes CO3+) causes increased anxiety and too much triggers suffocation panic. That's why you can breathe in basically any other gas and just shut down calmly, but CO2 will have you scrambling.

USD $1,000,000 in 1914 would be worth about $31,000,000 today.

Very good point, my bad.

The only other fast way to fight it is with violence, but without clear national unity and already decent leadership it usually results in some form of autocracy, making the situation worse.

Edit: violent revolution* usually doesn't work, but violence itself can be rather effective

Unlikely as it might be, maybe the 10% error rate is from gender queer people that haven't realized/faced it yet.

Grey goo also doesn't work because it'd almost certainly use the same building blocks as life, and in a competition with life, life's probably going to be the winner. Even if it didn't, unless it's doing weird cold fusion subatomic interactions (probably impossible) to make more of whatever element it's composed of, it'll just run out of food in whatever local environment it's in.
