“Whore bath” is how I’ve heard it

Yeah, I feel this. I’m in a rough spot right now and the world keeps getting tougher. The idea of bringing someone into this suffering seems cruel to me

The US military uses tapes for long term storage still

Kind of a reverse thing, we had a day in school where we talked about our parents jobs. I told my class about how my mom, at the time, worked for a company that made medical equipment primarily for elderly rehabilitation. Think exercise games and whatnot. My teacher thought this was cool, so after some back and forth my class took a field trip to my mom’s workplace. I got some of those electrical node things hooked up to my arm and they made my fingers dance, I was the cool kid for the day since I got us out of class

A live action Lorax movie, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as the onceler would be my dream movie

Yeah, I worked at Walmart for a bit and we were taught to look out for weird situations with gift cards and politely ask what the customer’s plan was. If we thought they were getting scammed, we’d get our manager involved to talk to them

Woke up with my stomach in knots, figured I ate something bad the previous day. Texted my work group chat and let them know that I would be useless if I showed up, and explained that I think I ate something bad for dinner. They said something along the lines of “no worries, but you’re still gonna have to come in to at least grab the paperwork for staying home for a day.” Annoyed, I got a ride to work and went to go do the formalities and explained that my boss had already given me the go ahead to stay home, I just needed the paperwork. First guy I talked to had no issue just writing it up and sending me on my way, but when he stepped away for a second I got asked some questions by one of his coworkers who told me “we have to give you a check up first to determine if you actually have to stay home.” She checked my stomach for pain and listened to it make some noises, then decided I was just constipated and gave me something to drink to help. First guy still wrote the paperwork up for me, and I got to go home, stomach in even worse situation and I spent nearly 2 hours on the toilet before I felt safe enough to go lay down and slept the rest of the day away.

(And yes I’m well aware that it’s atypical to get a checkup by your workplace, this was a weird and terrible place to work. Glad I got outta there.)

You’ll have to use the PC to interact with things, this is where a lot of people suggest a cheap Bluetooth keyboard with a track pad, or keyboard and mouse.

Assuming you’re using a modern TV, it functions just like a monitor for a computer. A mini PC is the same as a desktop/laptop, just in a little box. So basically you just plug the mini PC in with an HDMI to the TV, install the apps you need on the mini PC and you’re good to go

As the meme points out, Linux attracts the autistic crowd, and there have been some studies done that have found a correlation between autism and being transgender. Namely that people who are autistic tend to care less about gendered norms, and therefore are more likely to explore their own gender

Hyprland is not a DE

I like to pick based off the name of the command I use to evoke the package manager. Currently, I’m enjoying using yay but I’ve been thinking about emerge quite a bit

Edited for pedantic specificity

Man if only there was an option like --sudoloop to ensure that doesn’t happen

I agree with you. If I have anything to give when I see someone in need, I give it to them. Not because I have some grand sense of purpose or anything. I do it because it makes me feel warm inside, it puts me in a better mood for the whole day knowing that someone else’s life is now a little easier because of me. Does that change the fact that I’ve made someone’s life a little easier?

This is a much more serious version of my answer, which was going to be

“That’s one of the places where we decided oil was more precious than human life; I don’t really think of Iraq because the only discourse about it in my country is blatant xenophobia and I’m still working on finding ways around the propaganda”

My partner and I stopped into a liquor store down the street, and he asked for a specific drink he likes. They said “we don’t carry that, do you live nearby?” We told em we were just up the hill and the mfer ordered them on the spot so they could stock it for us

I think this is an ESH situation. Fandom sucks for pushing their poison, Google sucks for drinking it

I’m not entirely sure if it uses Unicode, ASCII or something else…

I think I remember Automate the Boring Stuff with Python explaining that python uses ASCIIbetical order, but it’s been a minute since I read that book

Sure, but if you’re working 50 hours a week (assuming US, I dunno laws elsewhere) you’re guaranteed 2.5 hours of mealtime per week that could be spent watching an informational video or reading an article.

I’m not saying “go back to school or you’re wasting your time” I’m saying “you have a few minutes where you could be reading a new idea instead of sitting on social media”
