Last thing we need here are more immigrants, and you'd be an overly-PC immigrant who's afraid to type a dang ole cuss word when anonymous on the internet.
Yeah, you can stay over there (whatever third-world dirtville "there" is), we won't miss ya.
I haven't messed with many desktop environments since I usually just use dwm, but lately I've been impressed with XFCE for when I need a real GUI desktop.
Anyone wanna do my second-guessing for me? What are the common criticisms of XFCE? I'm always down to check out alternatives.
For me, CrunchBang is something that happens when I'm about to get up in them guts but forgot that last night I ate a whole bag of tostitos half-asleep on my bed.
I'm not arguing that the act violates most moral codes, I'm just saying feeling "disgust" at a video of a natural act is juvenile and melodramatic. Watching this is no different than watching a nature documentary.
Okay, I'll play. I wasn't disgusted because brutal murders are a regular occurrence for our wonderful species. I'd fully expect that entities trying to gain recruits by publicizing their violence would take actions like this and publicize them. Why do you consider me "lost," as opposed to a realist? How do you rationalize making a negative value judgement on desensitization, when being desensitized and unemotional is a boon in any scenario I can think of?
From your first comment's tone I assumed you were European. Whatever, that's irrelevant anyway.
It seems like you're not talking about ethnic diversity, but you're assuming that if a bunch of ethnicities live in the same region that makes it culturally homogenous? I strongly disagree with that assumption, based on my experiences living in Northeastern cities/suburbs where ethnic enclaves retain their insularity as a point of pride/identity. This is in contrast to European towns where I've noticed that the national identity tends to override ethnic identity/culture. Basically, I disagree very strongly that America is culturally homogenous (either on national/local scale), especially when compared to any sample from Europe. Another supporting fact for that is how even though Europeans consider their cultures/ethnicities different from one another, America draws more from the rest of the world (Asia/Latin America) which is undoubtedly more "different" than any intra-European cultural comparison.
I'm getting the feeling that you haven't traveled very much...
Actually I've been all over Europe literally several dozen times (maybe close to 100 now, lost count decades ago), for both business and pleasure, and I've found that a given non-urban area in Europe tends to be much more homogenous than a given non-urban area in America. You Euros love your xenophobia and tie your concept of national identity very tightly to lineage/ethnicity, whereas even the most isolated backwards hick town in the deep south or midwest will have a smattering of hispanics/asians/indians.
For a current example of getting the tone of terrorism response very right, look at Israel's airports. Their security screening consists of highly trained psychological profilers asking a series of questions in the customs line, instead of the strip-half-naked-and-funnel-through-these-xray-tubes approach that we have.
While they also have armed soldiers walking around, the whole process is so much quicker than any American airport's security procedures that it's almost disorienting. Of course the volume/size is very different, but most rational people would argue that Israel deals with much more threats per capita.

Don't forget the constant hair plug operations, that's gotta be like twice a week by this point.
I didn't even know satin gloves were a thing. I'm tempted to order a pack for... uh... personal needs.
Fwiw, I wouldn't even consider hiring a non-eunuchs developer - we make server-side systems.
An unbroken bottle is an even better weapon if there's some distance between you.

Well shit, maybe I should get into yoga.
Redundant deconstruction of a lame joke, unnecessary vocab use, double-dash utilized...

Wow, washpo really is a throwaway rag these days, effect/affect error in the very last sentence? Where have all the English-speaking editors gone?

Boston's not a city by any meaningful metric. More of an irrelevant shanty-town filled with loud stupid dockworker-types.

Oh, honey... If your interviewers are looking at your college transcript, or even your GPA, you're not "out of the entry level."
Save expense, hire English-speaking?
Wat?
I can tell you're an old-timer from your backtick-apostrophe, haha
Are you that little kid from that silicon valley show? How are you working age and never been drunk?
