I'm still annoyed there are few geology MOOCs around. I can take sixteen thousand courses on Python but I still don't know the difference between dirt and soil ๐ค

"Disobeying a ZeniMax employee" being apparently some kind of crime gives me a sudden, near-desperate urge to disobey a ZeniMax employee.
What the actual goat-riding upside-down lost in space ๐คฌ is this crap? Just evil people collaborating? Dunno why US and Russian politicians would or would even want to have anything to do with African politics but it's definitely not for any good reason.
Also, I assume that one guy is gonna demand that Putin fire that ambassador. ... Yeah sure, that'll happen.
...What? Have the Rs (pronounced "arse," I guess) given up on pretending to be at all capable of reason? What even... ugh. ๐คท ๐คฆ
What's the problem? Doesn't seem very Garak, but... whatever? How does this hurt you?
I don't really have a clear idea of "who I am" but I'm clearly some kinda weird goofy wiggly thingy at my core ๐ wiggles to illustrate
Also my thing is like yours, I clear up (or think I do) pretty quick once I've started. It's just terrifying to start anything that isn't very familiar :-\ I don't quite even know the rules for that familiarity threshold. Bleh! 'Course, judging by my amazingly high blood pressure when I started getting that treated... could be I just get past a threshold and go from "super anxy" to "so anxy I can't even feel it any more" ๐คท Is weird. Am weird. extra shrug to illustrate very-shrugness
D'aaawwhhh that's cyoot! And a great excuse to carry around a dorbsy plushie ^.^ ๐
Snarky and irreverent. I like it! :3
I've been playing a lot of Space Empires IV ๐ Am gonna keep trying stuff. May have another pass at my Itch library. I'm just kinda missing Elder Scrolls specifically, I guess, and though I could play Daggerfall and/or Morrowind, they just make me miss ESO ๐ Maybe I'll try anyway. scritches at imaginary itch ๐
I don't even know if the ancient attic wiring up here could handle a gaming rig ๐
Also, making calls and going places isn't just "difficult" for me. I get actually physically ill. Even (somewhat) medicated I can be stuck in the restroom anxing for an hour before going on a two-minute ride down the road to pick up snacks from the local shop. I will put off a simple call, incurring debts or penalties or whatever, for months or years just because I can't get myself to press the button to call. A lot of people say "Oh, it's like that for everyone" but it is not. "Everyone hates phones," people tell me, but few dread them.
...Unless it's like that for everyone and this world's even more asinine that I'd realized. Surely there's no way everyone's just accepted being terrified constantly. Maybe they have and I'm the only rational person on Earth, baffled that the people around me think panic is normal and I'm weird for not accepting that ๐ค ๐ฎโ๐จ
wobbles away mumbling
... Okay, sorry if this is off-tone but I really wanna see more adults shining their inner cuteness and carrying around plushies >:3 Among whatever other "inappropriate" things they wanna show. I saw someone outside who had a tail and damn near jumped out the window to go squee at them ๐ Super cool.
Maybe I'll start carrying a plushie around ๐ค At least in my purse or something. ... Oh wait, I'm trans. I might get shot for that ๐ค Probably worth it. ๐ญ๐
What a weird comment. What do IT departments do if everything "just works?" Also, this isn't a company. This is one random person saying Linux is bad for home users and always will be because they had one bad experience. Bug reports and actual requests for help are productive. "It didn't work for me so it's crap" is not. If some people having bad experiences doomed an OS then Windows would've died by now.
I'm literally asking people to prefer using us for tech support over dropping our nth rant this week about how Linux is crap because it upset them.
Also, we get every "it doesn't work!!!" rant but few "Oh wow, it works just fine!" posts. Who wants to work on improving the "everyman" experience when they won't be paid for it and the appreciation they get will be an email or two of thanks and people still insisting that Linux will always be crap because of every single thing they didn't fix?
[Kinda rant] Knowing that those people are giving special treatment to some other OS... or rather, I suppose they're giving special treatment to Linux. It's the "hard" one, the "rough" one. If your wifi doesn't work in Linux it's because Linux is crap. If it doesn't work in Windows it's because of literally anything but Windows. Could be solar flares or Canadian government mind control waves or something. Not precious Microsoft Windows, though. Everything works on that! (Except when it doesn't, then I get called because I'm the local "computer whiz" or, for one summer, a computer repair tech critter... with that little experience in the role I still saw drivers flaking out and taking down Windows systems)
Anyway, what do we get from "Linux will never be mainstream because my wifi doesn't work" or any other "Shut up about your stupid crappy OS" type thing that we don't get from a more cooperative approach? A bug report, or a request for help, or just "here are my experiences?" I suppose what I'm getting at is...
tl;dr: Bashing is useless and annoying, nothing is permanently crap because one person had a bad experience. ...Especially when another person had a bad experience with any available alternative. Sharing is sharing but "It sucks!" n times per week is discouraging and counterproductive.
Came to say this! I'm also related to people like this :-\ They say blatantly lefty stuff but insist on being on the rightist 'team' thing anyway. Gross.
