  • It’s weird because at the time I remember feeling like a big loser and like I was really wasting my youth, but looking back yeah. I had a ton of friends, was often out doin drugs with my bros, lost my virginity to both sexes, had the lead role in our theater club, had a kickass job as a lifeguard… kinda the stereotypical “cool kid” high school life.

    Kinda a damn shame looking back because I was so depressed and abused by my parents that I couldn’t enjoy it.


  • Gonna be real, I haven’t had to bother with my OS for the past two months, so I disagree with a lot of this post. The take I disagree with the most is that things that would be difficult regardless of OS are somehow “harder” in Linux though. Getting old games to run on Windows is also a massive PITA, and oftentimes can be easier on Linux since you can always just run a WINE instance using whatever version of Windows the game was originally intended for. Same for old obscure software, anything from like the XP era does not play nice with Windows 11 in my experience. It sounds like the bigger issue is that you have learned a lot about Windows, and haven’t learned a lot about Linux, so your knowledge base for Windows is better.

    The actual issue I think is huge for your hypothetical “middle user” is hardware based. Some hardware is just better for running high performance applications on Linux than others. In my fancy, shiny, top of the line rig, my experience in getting games to work is I download them and run them with Proton. I’ve done no troubleshooting, barely use any applications other than Steam for gaming, and so far have not found a game I wanna play that doesn’t work. On my old Nvidia-based rig that I replaced, however, it was the exact opposite story. Nothing ever worked, I was constantly looking through error logs and trying to troubleshoot, and most of the time the answer was hardware that wasn’t properly supported.









  • The shot was too professional and clean for a random lone gunman shooter.

    The missed shot? The one where the gunman got lucky to still hit his target, because the wind could have just as easily blown the shot a little further to the right and missed entirely?

    Further, they conveniently found a weapon which implicates antifi and pro-trans attitudes.

    Look I get it was convenient, and I dunno why the gunman did it, but I really, really don’t want to live in a world where the FBI wrote “notices bulges OwO what’s this?” on a bullet in order to implicate leftists. I have to assume they are legitimate.

    There’s really nothing to indicate this wasn’t a legitimate left-wing lone wolf hunting enthusiast that decided they wanted one less breathing Nazi.
