there’s something kind of sad about

the way that things have come to be

desensitized to everything

what became of subtlety?

Can confirm, am depressed

Look on a bag of Doritos.

Do you see a list of ingredients and nutritional value? That’s because they are regulated by the FDA

Redo the meme? Like, in GIMP?

Every society needs a cry like that, but only in a very few do they come out with the complete, unvarnished version, which is “Remember-The-Atrocity-Committed-Against-Us-Last-Time-That-Will-Excuse-The-Atrocity-That-We’re-About-To-Commit-Today! And So On! Hurrah!

Grab some lunch at Rose Goute. Then, do a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Westcott House. It’s a really neat bit of architectural history. Once you’re done, head down to Yellow Springs, take a walk on the trail at John Bryant, and finish off the day with dinner at Sunrise Cafe

You’re basically a Tamagotchi with IBS

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

Also, are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

On one hand, it’s stupid as hell to store a firearm anywhere but in a safe/cabinet designed for them. An oven is another level of stupid

On the other, I used to store our cast iron Dutch oven in the oven and I can’t tell you how many times I started preheating the oven and then remembered to take it out. Usually after its oil seasoning started to heat up

Just stay away from nvidia on Linux and you are golden.

I’m sorry but this is the kind of condescending bullshit that pushes me away from Linux

I got a 3070TI for half off MSRP for open box in the middle of the crypto bubble, and I’m not buying another GPU until I absolutely have to.

You want more people to embrace Linux? Make it work on startup without jumping through a bunch of hoops, on the hardware we already own.

Your lived experience with Windows is yours, and I’m glad you have a system that works for you. I don’t have the time or mental energy to learn, not just a new OS, but also all of the bugs that go with it.

Look, I get it. I’m putting my apprentice in my old work van, and as I’m looking at the old heap I’m remembering all the little quirks it has that I’ve developed blind spots for. Blind spots they don’t have. Quirks that are actually problems. I know there are problems with windows that I ignore because I know how to work around them. I know the workarounds because I’ve been using Windows since 3.11. I didn’t have that experience with Linux, and neither does my wife. A woman who once nearly bricked our computer falling for an Indian call center scam.

When this rig bites the dust, I’ll probably build a Linux gaming box and just tell her to get used to the OS. For now, we’re using Windows

Also HP is shit and I’d gladly put any HP exec in the hospital if I met them

That would be me.

Tried Ubuntu 15 years ago, but couldn’t because Nvidia driver issues, and haven’t tried again

Look, dudes, I’m bootstrapping a small business while trying to manage ADHD. I can barely get two hours of admin work done in an eight hour day. I just need things to work. I’d love to walk away from Windows but I don’t have the mental bandwidth for that shit

And even if I did, my wife and I share a gaming computer/media center. There’s nothing like having her call me in the middle of a workday because my VPN is keeping her from logging into PBS so that she can watch Grantchester. Imagine the headaches if I installed a new OS.

Much like improving my physical fitness, I have the desire, but not the will

TBH, I would believe it.

Someone pointed out that he has always had a paranoia about people harming him. For instance, preferring takeout to avoid poisoning. He has played a very dangerous game with very serious players as a property developer, and in the process has made a lot of enemies.

So yeah, one of his greatest fears was realized. What other fears lurk just past the penumbra of the stage lights? What waits in the wings, should he lose the election? If only he could control things a bit more, maybe get Joe back in the race…

At least he can control the remote, and maybe if he watches his assassination attempt again, he can control that too

I enjoyed The Acolyte, although it wasn’t as good as Andor. But really, nothing from the Mouse will be that good for a while.

No I don’t pay for a D+ membership. Yes I still have 9TB free on my NAS

I am Japan wrong lol, pretty much everyone else on that map was affected by colonialism. I mean, Japan was affected too, but Japan’s response to colonialism was “that’s a good idea, we’ll do it even harder” so I don’t think they count as another arm of Britannia.

Oh for sure for sure. Definitely reverse when traveling in countries that get it wrong want to remain a UK colony.

Sadly since COVID I’ve not been able to do much international traveling. But I do still get routed through Chicago O’Hare, which adds insult to injury

(Also I’m just joking about that colonies jab. The only “correct” way is the way the community at large has decided in a particular area.)

Me in either case:

“Walk the left, stand on the right, dipshit”

Wait is this the real Steve from Myspace?

I heard this in the voice of Pumat Sol
