TIL about benign masochism and now I think I understand the appeal of this website

@Brett_Jensen Shut your mouth you lying liar.

@nancy_incognito @NC_Governor I am on the ground in Asheville right now and I can tell you Nancy that YOU are wrong.

@marcsavy I am okay. I’m sure you have seen some of the catastrophic destruction. It’s been pretty intense this week. But we are hanging in there.

@ReservoirLogs @KevinGall1985 @PattieSmitty @AsherAthena @NCNationalGuard I’m beginning Kevin to fuck all the way off. I am here now, and support has been arriving since Saturday morning. He’s a keyboard warrior and that’s all.

@MrLands368390 @KaosnEffect @cat_momma84 @NCNationalGuard I am here in wnc and YOU are full of shit. If it matters so much to you, why aren’t you here right now doing something instead of fighting your stupid fucking keyboard wars.

@ScottyWitte @mkraju Deplorable, you might say

[Lance Ball @lanceball]

@SpeakerJohnson How exactly is a locally elected DA, and a jury of peers part of Biden's "weaponization of the Justice system"?

[Lance Ball @lanceball]

@marcsavy How it should always be, imo

[Lance Ball @lanceball]

Big fan of David Byrne. Wondering if @dieworkwear would give us a breakdown of his fit here. Confession, I’m a fan.

[Lance Ball @lanceball]

@marcsavy Did you say, “it’s pronounced Jiff.”?

[Lance Ball @lanceball]

Seriously @washingtonpost … Don’t you mean to say, “normal compassionate humans”?

[Lance Ball @lanceball]

Hug someone if you can. And hold on tight.

@BlueRidgePublic They better hurry up with the renovation. As soon as it’s finished it will be time for another one.

@Ashevegas The math makes it seem as though the Sports Park in Enka is getting about $4 million. Is that right?!

[Lance Ball @lanceball]

@ModeofChoice @TeachLesley @asberry_cooper @nckhui Do you understand math? 270 days is 54 weeks of 5 day work weeks. You don’t know wtf you are talking about.

@rjmemphisdev @gunnarmorling I don't really know the market need and @gunnarmorling has a relevant point that what goes into the decision making for customers has changed. But all of the shouts of INJUSTICE!!! seem a little reactionary when the truth is, Red Hat gives more to FOSS than just about anyone.

[Lance Ball @lanceball]

@rjmemphisdev @gunnarmorling When the competition is just ripping the label off and rebranding, how much out-innovating can there be? IMO it's fair for RHEL to say to the clones, "go ahead and build your clone from the same upstream sources we do, but you don't get to reap the rewards of our investment".
