"Bro, your face is pissing me off, want to throw down?"

That's an example of the sort of dialog that goes on in a new app called Rumblr, which can be used to set up fistfights with total strangers — you know, Fight Club style.

Rumblr is set up like a dating app, except the dates happen in parking lots and back alleys, not restaurants, and they culminate in throw-downs instead of get-downs.

Sigh.

    A wise choice, AC, to remove systemd from the list of epitaphs and obscenities. Microsoft, well, OK. Gnome, well OK. Vi editor, well OK. But its good to see our society has some sane limits to civil discourse. I can totally see someone getting killed in a back alley for saying "Your mom goes down faster than systemd" or "yo mama so big, she be bigger than systemd" or "I blocked your mom's rsyslog port with systemd" or "I heard your mom is such a systemd that she took four guys systemctl on her at the same time". Apologies to mom's everywhere for even thinking it.

    Sigh . . . nearly ready to put on some astronaut diapers and drive 15 hours to give you a nice solid roundhouse kick to the neck . . . but I'm out of practice. My coordination, balance, and range of motion are all crap today. If you want a truely worthy opponent for a high-level fistfight, you might have to breed them yourself. Set up a dojo, and after a few years, spar with your best students.
