It’s not quite the same. But I live near a university called University of South <State Name>, yet it is absolutely nowhere even remotely near the southern part of the state.

This is terrifying. I both hate it, am horrified, and also think it’s funny. It’s very conflicting but you get an upvote lol.

I suppose I could give it to you for Hillary Clinton because it could have been confusing wrt Bill. But with Harris, I’m not buying it. Both “Barack” and “Obama” are equally distinct to me. We have never had a president Harris before, so it’s plenty distinct enough. It’s not as though presidential candidates always have wildly distinct and uncommon names.

Are you gonna replay as sad cop lol

Tfw you toileted instead of skibidied. 😔

What kind of schizophrenia did I just stumble upon?

It’s weird because I even noticed this among liberals. The presidential candidates are always referred to by last name. But both times a woman tried to run, people referred to her as her first name whether you are conservative or liberal or what have you. I have found it a bit disrespectful tbh, and all sides have been guilty of this. The US will never elect a female president, let alone a female president of color. It’s bizarre.

Honestly I’m wondering if that’s why the margin Trump is winning is so “huge”. The US will never vote for a woman president. Both times Trump has gone up against a woman, he’s won. But against a man, he lost.

Please don’t forget that neatly half of the country realizes he’s insane and is terrified. Not everyone deserves this. Tens of millions of us out there don’t want this.

One of my friends in India is has a weird time zone where it’s off from surrounding areas by half an hour instead of a full hour. It’s confusing. The world is a mess with times!

Yeah I’ve always been a very casual Linux enthusiast (key word is casual) since I was a teen. Setup and things “just working” out of the box have absolutely never been the case, even in 2024, and even though people like to say it does. In an ideal situation on an ideal computer with ideal hardware, you don’t have to tweak anything. But for most people, there are going to be some annoying issues and tweaks you have to work through.

If a Linux system has already been set up and tested for the end user, then it is a great alternative. But in my experience, these systems absolutely never work perfectly out of the box and it takes some technical know how to get to that point. Ever since Windows 7, Windows has “just worked” out of the box… especially because it comes pre-loaded on your device.

I have been dealing with some issues with my Bluetooth module in Windows. I had eventually solved the problem, but the fix seemed to have reverted itself somewhat recently. Annoyed, I thought I’d finally commit to a switch to Linux on my daily driver since my laptop doesn’t support Win 11. Well, I chose Linux Mint since it doesn’t use Wayland which for some reason has poor compatibility with my common Logitech mouse. Everything had been fine but then I found instead of the Bluetooth module crashing like in Windows, which just makes me have to reset the module, the entire system crashes in Linux instead and requires me to reboot it. Frustrating to say the least.

And then, as you’ve brought up, gaming on Linux is just generally not a good experience unless you have all of your games on Steam.

Linux can be awesome but it’s absolutely not for everyone…especially people with less technical knowledge (unless it is set up for them), people who want something to “just work” without any fiddling, or people who do a lot of gaming outside of Steam.

Damn you’re right…I should install arch

You don’t need to leave a crazy amount of space when stopped at a traffic light, but you still should be leaving some. So if someone rear ends you, it minimizes the risk of your car then smashing into the person in front of you, so it reduces the risk of additional people being involved in an accident.

I’m 30 and we had Animorphs books in our house and at school as a kid. However, I think the original several books were kind of old at that point and not as popular.

I’ve only tried weed gummies. I don’t really like the thought of stuff going into my lungs.

Anyway, I don’t seem to get anxiety with them, but they make me feel like I’m sick with the flu…except I’m hungry instead of nauseated. It’s pretty unpleasant. I don’t get pleasurable feelings out of it really unfortunately. Wish I could.

Currently dealing with this over the span of multiple days. I’m dying send help.

I’m stupid. Can you explain the issue in the thing you circled?

Checkmate, atheists

I live in a hot, humid environment. Keeping bread in the fridge helps it to stay good for multiple weeks. If I leave it out, it molds way quicker. I also sometimes will store bread in the freezer to keep it fresh even longer if I know I’m just going to make toast out of it.
