  • Yeah, i just mean open terminal then type xkill and click. I thought ctrl+alt+t was the default in ubuntu/mint

  • If you can't see the terminal, then that's pretty bad so idk -> if everything goes unresponsive I just slap my monitor in impotent fury and reboot

    If you can see the terminal but not the window, idk if xkill would work. Then you'd need to find the process id and kill it with pkill.

    Like say you're playing age of empires 2: pgrep aoe (should return all running processes called aoe with their pids > process: aoe2 pid: 69420 ...or something like that) then: pkill 69420 > ded

  • Oooh I've never messed with that before but that sounds like a good fix.

  • Trouble alt+tabbing out of games in mint + cinnamon from fullscreen windowed and fullscreen. I can switch to other open windows easily, but what I can't do is click my sound manager shortcut in the taskbar to change audio devices, etc. So I have to open up the sound management application to make the changes. The desired behavior is to alt tab back to the desktop environment where the application being switched to is.

    Trouble with specific windows only appliations that I can't get to work in wine/bottles. One I need to update my car's infotainment system and it's a huge pain in the ass. Trouble with weird .dll and font issues that are seemingly unresolvable, even once placing the relevant dlls and fonts in the right folders. Not linux's fault, just shitty software design. But still difficult.

  • Ctrl+alt+t -> xkill -> click window you want to terminate

    But yes I agree that seeing a better GUI of open programs and attached processes would be good to have.

  • At first him speaking his mind was refreshing and I saw him getting a lot accomplished, but then it just got mean and nasty and very unbecoming. And it just made me cringe and I just didn't like him anymore. -AZ white woman

    Super alien concept to me to just be like: "i liked [leader's] personality without really giving a shit about what they were actually doing to people and the country. But now they're cringe so my political ideology, to the extent that it existed, has done a 180."

  • It's all garmonbozia to me

  • 是很漂亮!It looks like a font. Extremely neat. Though, the "tails" on some of your letters are so short that they might be mistaken for other letters.

    Like your P could be mistaken for a D

  • Well you see:

    1. Comparing Israel to Nazis is antisemitic since Israel is the Jewish state. Nazis don't like Jewish people, so Jewish people can't be Nazis.
    2. Jews have to like Israel since it's populated by Jewish people; Israel, the Jewish state = the Jewish people.
    3. Protesting Nazis is antisemitic since the Nazis like Israel, and Israel, the Jewish state = the Jewish people.
    4. Nazis like Israel. Israel, the Jewish state = the Jewish people. Therefore Nazis like Jewish people.

    It is perfectly logical, you just have to believe that the Jewish state is the same thing as the Jewish people while ignoring that the Jewish state, which Nazis like, is made up of Jewish people, who Nazis hate.

  • Feeling like, every time I'm in a group of NTs, that if we were stranded on a desert island they'd vote to eat me first.

    And having a lot of social anxiety because of that feeling. But also having a lot of empathy for others while constantly being misunderstood, vilified, and ostracized by those same people.

  • Idk if they know they're confused or that they've misunderstood.

    Now it's possible they're just not great therapists and are in problem-solving mode. But maybe not

  • Tbh I'm really bad at it. I am typically pretty out of touch with my emotions and have a bad autobiographical memory.

    I think what would be best for me would be to 1) recognize key themes that I need to work through and 2) note down examples of behaviors as they occur so that I can talk about them.

    Like, one thing I do is get little anxiety attacks triggered by ruminating on random stuff I did in the past (little embarassing/shameful memories). It is hard for me to remember what caused the anxiety or what my memory was of. Those are pretty important details for a therapist, so when I was in therapy I didn't make much progress on that.

    Easier said than done, imo, as it requires a lot of self awareness - which is what many people are trying to improve through therapy.

    Frankly, a good therapy session might be asking the therapist what you can do to prepare better or what questions they have about what you're going through that you can help them answer.

  • Just wanted to note that this can go both ways and can have to do with good communication on the patient's end as well, imo.

    I have definitely received this sort of generic "I'm not actually listening" sort of reply before. Sometimes, though, I think it was because I didn't adequately communicate what I intended to. I confused the therapist because of me being unprepared/unclear.

    So, they're trying to make sense of what I told them, maybe misunderstanding some of it, and they give me some bad advice or say something off the mark.

    Sometimes, that's on them. Sometimes that's on me. Not that OP or anyone else in particular is doing this, but it is something I've been guilty of.

  • Oh shit. What a based priest

  • DUI 1000%

    Catholic stereotypes defied. Priest is based actually

  • Fair enough. You aren't wrong. I think we're just concerned with different points here, which is fine.

  • Note: I'm not arguing that it's legal for cops to use them against civilians, just that it's fucked up that it's legal for use against civilians but not soldiers.

    If that were true, there would be a carve out in the provision for the use of gasses with transient effects, like cs gas. There is none. Just the opposite, there is a carve out for their use against civilians, but they are prohibited in warfare.

    Many other countries do not use CS gas in warfare due to the CWC (Australia, Canada, Greece, India, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, etc. - there are a lot). https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v2/rule75 => pulls provisions from the laws of various countries as well as combat manuals detailing the usages of riot control gasses and their various rationales.

    The US chooses not to interpret the CWC as banning riot control gasses for war, that is a minority position and the US gets away with it like it does many breaches of international law. The US uses riot control gas weapons against civilians... liberally and in a way that most of the world would see as police brutality. It's use is on the rise globally, but it has been used extremely widely by US cops for a long time and in problematic ways.

    If it is used to disperse dangerous protests as a deterrant to advance, sure, I get it. But that is not how it is typically used by US cops. In the US cops have killed a number of people by firing tear gas cannisters at them from close range. They deploy tear gas in the middle of crowds causing panic and the risk of stampede deaths/crowd surges. They deploy tear gas behind crowds causing them to move toward police. They deploy tear gas in situations that do not warrant it, on peaceful protests that may involve at-risk people. They use tear gas in enclosed spaces or against kettled crowds, increasing the risk of death due to respiratory distress.

    Human rights groups have noticed this pattern of behavior by cops in the US and increasingly globally. You can find dozens of articles and studies by the CFC, ACLU, Red Cross, Amnesty International, Physicians for Human Rights, etc. It is a majority position among human rights groups that these agents should be banned or heavily restricted.

  • In response to a comment saying that it's torture, me stating that it's banned for use in war by the geneva convention?

    Well, connecting the dots there, that if it's too inhumane/painful/uncontrollable for warfare, it probably shouldn't be allowed to be used on masses of civilians expressing their rights.

  • UNLOADS! REALLY DUMB!
