Citizens may have non-citizen friends and family who are potential targets.

No, this is a very old joke that uses the fact the command has “fr” in it to trick people about what the command does. Joking aside, here’s what the command actually does:

rm is the command to delete files and folders

-f is the force modifier. This means it’ll keep going even if it encounters problems and just delete as much as it can

-r is the recursive modifier. That means it’ll go down every folder it sees in the target and delete the contents as well, and delete the contents of folders of folders, etc.

/ is the target. This is the root of the filesystem. If you’re used to Windows, that’s like targeting C:.

Put it all together, and this command basically deletes your whole filesystem. A safeguard was put in place a while back due to people meming about this and causing newbies to delete their whole system. Now it won’t work unless you put in --no-preserve-root, which tells rm that yes, you really mean it, please delete my whole system.

/* as the target works around that safeguard, because technically deleting everything in root is not the same as deleting root itself.

This is very much the Linux version of the old tricking gamers to alt+F4 gag.

My favorite was when I was teaching a friend Squad, and we were in a vehicle. I explained you hit the F keys to change seat (which is true), so F1, F2, F3, etc. Noticing that seats 1, 2 and 3 were filled, I then told him he can hold down alt to swap seats faster. He then immediately quits the game xD

And to avoid annoying error messages about preserving the root of the language, add a * at the end. Final command should look like this:

sudo rm -fr /*

The Arabs were obviously at fault here. How dare they violently shove their faces into the closed hands of the Israelis, very anti-semitic /s

We already started during this year. No sane leader trusted in a coin flip to guarantee our security. A possible Trump presidency was planned for.

Honestly, if you’re in the US, best you can do is focus on your local community. Help out your neighbours, find like-minded people, stay active on the local level. There is almost 0 possibility for a normal person to make a difference on the national level, but you absolutely can on the local level.

American voters in general dgaf about things that don’t affect them. Israel is irrelevant to your median American voter.

It really was (or at least the Democratic party’s fault). If you take every single third party voter, assign them to Kamala, she still loses.

This is more about ramping up domestic arms production to fill the gap that is going to come from US production no longer going to Ukraine.

I am insanely curious as to the context here. Was he a time traveller? Did he grow the beard to hide some identifying mark? Is he a member of a cult whose perfectly manicured beards are the membership card?

Comics be crazy. Could be any of these and 100 more crazier things.

Also, look at her counsel. My brother’s wife’s hairdresser’s mechanic said that there’s very big questions about where Chewbacca’s from. He hasn’t even released his birth certificate!

Totally unrelated historical fact: Hitler’s attempted coup failed, and he was appointed as chancellor later on in a completely legal manner.

I think Brexit has also been a significant factor in making UK way more xenophobic.

Personally, I don’t think it’s made the UK more xenophobic. A decent percentage of people supported Brexit due to xenophobia, and the success of the referendum made them more outspoken. Basically, Brexit is a symptom of xenophobia rather than the other way around.

Thinking about it, there’s a lot in common between the skillsets needed to be competent presidents and lawyers. Both need to be convincing, make a case to an audience, and understand the law.

About the only things I can think of that presidents need to do that has nothing to do with being a lawyer are being the head of the military and making decisions around military operations.

I AM LEAD VEGAN OF THE VEGAN BEINGS REPUBLIC. TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER, SO I MAY ENGAGE IN CONSUMING NUTRIENT FOLIA IN A RITUALISTIC MANNER.

The key thing is practice. Like any creative pursuit, your first attempts will be trash. The greatest writers, artists and musicians ever went through this too. If you care about that form of creative expression, just keep at it!

That sounds like the north Iberia start, with the 3 brothers each with their own kingdoms and the intrigue sister.

Paul Weller would be “Moon Fire”, which honestly sounds pretty badass. For “Moon Moon”, you’d need a name like Paul Shaw or Peter Mathew.

It’s a confirmed fact they ordered troops in fallback lines to shoot any fleeing Russian troops trying to pull back on some of the fronts.
