    People do use them as nouns. For example, in statistical/scientific context: “Among males/females…”, or outside: “I’m a male”

    And I certainly saw the word “males” being commonly used, which is pretty much why I’m so baffled by the need to banish its counterpart.

    Incels may call women whatever, but actively banishing the word because it was appropriated by some group of weirdos isn’t gonna help - rather, it will only deepen the flawed interpretation of a very regular and normal word, assigning context to where there was none.

    I’m a proud male. Why can’t there be a proud female? This only means she is a woman, after all.

    This is basically Formula-1 race car/small aircraft speed.

    Regular cars will only get you to, like, 160-180 km/h at full gas.

    In other words, this is insanely fast and potentially very deadly.

    At speeds above ~150 km/h, even on a well-organized highway, you won’t be able to control your surroundings and have to rely on sheer luck to survive, unless you’re a professional race pilot on an empty road. Also, unless the car is equipped with special gear for improved road grip, it will become uncontrollable because it will literally start to hover a little.




  • The latter. Even without mortgage, here in my city it would take 150 months of an average salary to buy a fairly modest apartment, and we’re speaking average, which is very far from median. With mortgage…you simply wouldn’t be able to cover the interest payments, so it’s out of the question.

    Also, government tries to step in to compensate a bit for the families with children. But overall, the insane interest rate reflects in everything. I currently pay out a loan at 35% APR.



  • Honestly, my current stance on immutable distros is: why don’t you have a mutable distro and just try to follow the best practices without being forced to?

    Install flatpaks, use Distrobox when something is only available as a standard package, but doesn’t actually depend on non-isolated system interaction, etc.

    This way, nothing breaks the way it does with immutable distros, but you still have a reasonable level of confidence in your system.
