Or “most things” even.

He will probably authorize their back pay and then steal it. Why not, he gets away with literally anything.

In fairness, that is asking a marine to have thought something through.

I suspect you wouldn’t say “you know, that guy threatening to shoot me in the face with a shotgun seems like the right person to protect my face” either, in fairness.

They never ask in these stories - would this Trump supporter be continuing that support even after being kicked in the dick? That’s the only part I’m interested in, because everything else these supporters talk about in these stories are things everyone with a brain saw coming.

They stand in front of the steam roller in Austin Powers and get squashed - would they do it again? My guess is they would, but I have to guess because no one ever asks!

And they’ve been incredibly successful in doing so.

I never had the experience you are describing. The closest I got was when I got a flexiframe that couldn’t be adjusted by hand - because that’s the whole point of those - and the nose bridge was set such that the edges of the lenses were in a different spot than I was used to. This resulted in the world swirling in a dizzying way when I moved my head because my peripheral vision was adjusting to the difference. That process took about a week, I think.

I have also found that it hurts my eyes to try to wear glasses inconsistently. For me I need to wear them all the time, or not at all. So if you are being inconsistent you may be making it difficult for your eyes to get used to focusing differently.

It might be worth talking with your optometrist though, in case something isn’t quite right. (S)he can test the lenses and verify the lenses are right - they could be wrong, and that would be a problem for sure.

Appreciate the advice. I may want to tinker someday, and do have the skill to do it, but I do not currently have the interest to tinker. Someday perhaps, but for now I will take the suggestion of looking at immutables!

I appreciate how thorough that reply is. My experience with Windows is either expert level or, given my job, should be. I don’t really want to have to fight with my system at home, which is why I was looking at ease of use. I stayed away from really working with Linux for a while because there was a time when it had a reputation for being finicky with AMD hardware (which I often have at least a processor of) and problematic with game compatibility.

It is my understanding that neither of those are much of a problem these days, assuming they ever were (I never actually verified either one). That mixed with Microsoft’s audacity with Recall is enough for me to learn the transition. I might take you up on that offer for troubleshooting assistance, but I think once I commit to a Linux flavor I’ll be capable of figuring it out. It’s more laziness that has caused me to procrastinate than lack of skill, but thank you!

I won’t be going to W11, but I’m looking for ease of use with gaming in mind. Mint will likely be my first go at it.

Vile. Unsurprising, but vile.

Foolish tarnished, in search of the Elden Ring.

Have you considered… Line go up?

Which effectively means the messages aren’t encrypted. Cool.

Got the tankie triad in there. I switched from lemm.ee too and forgot to reblock those, mentioned that term in a comment thread on .ml and the content got removed for “bigotry”. Reassures having them in there is a good idea.

And at least the average Lemmy user isn’t a complete fucking idiot.

Please, allow myself to introduce… Myself.

I am reborn!
