In his defense, those are the fanciest shoes I've ever seen a worm wear.

My thoughts exactly. Every time anything allegedly happens involving the US boogeymen and the only people saying it's happening are US puppets, gotta ask yourself, what is the US preparing to try to get away with?

It's hysterical that Trump of all people has developed a playpen to put Elon in. Once upon a time, it was Trump's handlers trying to do the same thing to him.

The Wubuntu suggestion above looks pretty good, might try that first!

I am open to trying Linux, but how can I make it as close to the Windows 10 experience as possible so I can baby step into it?

The constant tension between "Try Linux! It's so easy" and a reply like this

Sorry, this made me have to hold back my laughter so much on the train that I repeatedly snorted. EVERY LINUX SOLUTION REPLY IS LIKE THIS.

They aren't going to scar anyone more than they have the past year, there's nothing worse they can do. We've already seen the barbarity, the dead children, the destroyed homes, the immolated people. Let's not pretend like they're doing anything they wouldn't have done if Kamala won.

There are no demands. No one is falling for that again. Not voting was spitting in their face for their unrepentant evil.

Get fucked. The world hates you, barbaric Zionist scum.

I struggle with the same thing, I play online card games and it's very easy to get super tilted since it's heavily luck-based by nature. I don't like feeling like I've wasted my time when I lose, I don't like feeling like a failure when I lose because I consider myself a good player.

I often wonder why it winds me up so much. It might be that I put too much value into my performance, or it might be because there aren't a huge amount of things in my life that feel like they're in my control - and when I lose in a game, it's like "fuck, I can't even do this" and I lash out.

Point is, you're not alone comrade. I've considered giving up these games altogether because they feel like poison for my mental health, but I believe that the anger is almost certainly coming from somewhere else. It's not the games.

Which is it? Which do you use? Are there different associations between them?

I've always said it "comrad," but when I started to meet people in orgs, they predominantly say "comrayd" (within the same country).

 

One of the few celebrities I knew and cared about because I grew up watching Charmed, still one of my favourite shows to this day, before I stopped watching TV. Shannen died on 13th July of cancer.

And all I can think is... man, she was kind of a piece of work. She had been battling cancer for almost a decade on and off and I suppose had a long time to grapple with her mortality and come to terms with it. And in the end, it seems like what she chose was pettiness and bitterness.

She had a "long" list of people who weren't invited to her funeral, because they wouldn't be coming for "the right reasons." She reignited a feud in the Charmed community with Alyssa Milano, using her cancer as the reason she had to "get the truth out" about a television show 25 years after the fact. She finalised her divorce with her husband one day before her death, ~~presumably to prevent him from inheriting anything.~~ The last one is contentious because who knows what was happening behind closed doors but still, that's definitely one last 'fuck you.'

It makes me sad that she was filled with so much hate and bitterness that even in her dying moments, she only chose to amplify the bad than forgive and make peace. I'm not at all religious but I think it's a very human thing to want to seek peace and reconciliation in the end, before you can't anymore, and I was a little stunned to see her choice be to go out in a blaze of bitterness.

That's it. There's not really any point to this. I was just stunned. I never knew her and don't have any right to judge her, and I'm not, really, deep down. It's just something that made me a little sad and that I don't really understand. People sure are strange.
