I also wish all my problems would go away magically

Mint is popular for beginners. I went with Debian KDE because I wanted something a little more minimalistic and boring. Fedora and OpenSUSE are also good options.

If you want to stick with a Windows-like desktop, pick a KDE distro over GNOME.

🤨 can’t tell if serious

Most everyone has an innate urge to live forever somehow. It’s an expression of our fear of death. They make children, or inventions, or buildings, or artworks, or whatever “legacy” they can think will persist after their death.

It’s natural to feel this way. We’re wired for it.

The cruel trick is that nothing lasts forever. We yearn for things we can’t have.

That little piss stain is certifiably insane

Collapse is a process. There will probably be an extended period where we still have electricity, but lots of social unrest, food scarcity, etc.

Unless you’re trying to practice with Windows server for work, I can’t think of any good reason to use it at home.

Okay?

Gorgeous!

“demand” 😒👌🏻

Does he have to? In every single thread?

Yeah, that’s my biggest hesitation with recommending Linux to absolutely everyone. It’s super easy to install most of the time. But most people are not equipped to work around issues that may come up, and then the computer is as good as bricked until they find help.

I honestly don’t get the widespread hate on bats. Like maybe vampire bats, sure; they’re ugly and suck blood. But tons of bats are freaking adorable.

Who’s gonna tell him?

The socks have a bit of a learning curve, depending on what you want to do with them, but it’s worth it. It’s such a huge relief to not care how much more Windows is getting enshittified this week, since it’s not my problem anymore.

I had no idea they made this a franchise. The first one was super forgettable.

🤷🏻 We’re still fundamentally irrational animals. Our powers of reason are limited, and our quirks are easily manipulated.

I think this has a LOT to do with how susceptible a person is to reason that goes against their existing beliefs. I also turned away from the conservative rhetoric in my early twenties. I wasn’t really invested in any group, just talking with a few dudes on a gun forum. I didn’t have a lot to lose in terms of social investment. But for rural people, going against the right wing narrative could mean being isolated from their whole physical community.

We tried a vibrating ring once, and that was a bust. All I remember is how good it felt when we took it off and just went bare. And excuse me, I need to go find my wife for something.
