Huh, they love to confirm how weird they actually are! So bold of him to assume people wouldn’t side eye or call him a fucking freak for this ‘the call is coming from within the house’ shit.

As a casual user of Linux (no strong inclination or skill in coding), I tend to veer towards distros that minimize the Terminal usage in favor of graphical user interfaces for accomplishing most changes. Modern Linux distros are a lot friendlier in terms of installing Software from a distro store and graphic drivers via a graphical interface. You won’t ever fully be able to eliminate the terminal usage, as it’s inevitable for certain tasks like adding PPAs on Ubuntu for example. It was honestly word salad for me during my first foray into the Linux world; but now I have a basic understanding of the Linux kernel and how it functions on a very surface level. I know enough to string commands together and understand the reason why it’s necessary to do things in a certain order.

I’m not sure if you’d have a good time with Linux, I’m hesitant to tell you to take the plunge because you will have to faff around with the terminal and use commands at times to accomplish certain things. That requires both focus and patience, which is not something which is naturally difficult for those with ADHD (unless a hyperfixation is quite strong). I’d give yourself time to think about switching for a while, ultimately you might be better sticking with the current OS that you’re using.

Those that adopt such an outlook tend to be far removed from the concept of empathy for other human beings…Others who don’t believe as them or live as them are simply in the wrong. It’s such a dismal way to exist in my opinion.

The Onion is impeccable with their satire; horrifying facts made to be digestible using humor. Hopefully, this KKK shitburgler doesn’t get the future he wants to create, that other young dudes and ladies thwart his every effort.

ROFL Owen is a thick-skulled fool. I am glad that Destiny owned this dude and called him out on his bullshit. I’ll have to watch the whole video.

I should, it wasn’t the most immediate thought in my head; Republicans openly court the wealthy for donations, while most Dems (there are a few outspoken individuals that try) fail to curtail the power wealthy people have in US politics. Wealth Class is certainly a good addition to my list of criteria, as those who are less wealthy and are outright poor often have no voice in the political space. Unless they really create a proper spectacle which can’t be ignored.

THIS, 1,000%! Third Party doesn’t have a huge presence in the USA, only because people don’t do the work to get it there. It requires a lot of work that should be done just after the new sitting president is elected. Building a recognizable platform with proper support takes a lot of effort. It would be worth it, though, to truly support the people in ways which a two party system cannot. Holding the President and other people in power accountable with sensible words and meaningful action would get a party to gradually become a household name.

After I vote for Kamala, this is what I will be looking into. Finding a third party (one with aims to support everyone, no matter gender, sexuality, etc).

It’s cute that these MAGA fools think that peace is something that Trump could bring into existence, as his life has been purely chaos and disruption. Kamala is the sane one; the orange one is so terrifying! ROFL

This is a fact that I wish more humans embraced. We are all different, we can’t help but be born as we are physically or who we’re attracted to. We can only choose to make better choices for the world and those around us!

While it’s true that the Palestinians don’t support members of the LGBTQ community as a whole; Letting them be killed by Israel without speaking up or advocating for a ceasefire is a bad thing in my opinion! As a gay man, I don’t support Israel’s choice to successfully carry out a genocide for the sake of slaking their hatred. It’s inhumane and would only prompt other dubious, morally bankrupt individuals to violate the social contract by organizing a genocide of their own. Israel needs to face the consequences of their actions, not only for the sake of those in the Gaza Strip who are suffering in inhumane conditions; also for those who would be made a target for a genocide as well and are barely protected by the social contract.

Most of the time, yes! I will avoid anything that’s clear because it makes my brain not want it. Unless, I’ve looked up the mystery flavor (in the case of a static mystery flavor).

ROFL, This is a good satire article.

Kamala is highly meme-able; with her effort and a capable team, they’ll drown out those Trump cultists and get uninformed voters on her side. If only that old, weird narcissist would just become an irrelevant creature sooner.

Eh, the headline is the only good part of this satire article…I much prefer The Onion as their satire articles are way better!

Before I had access to the internet; These were basically my, ‘Don’t die, eat something easy’ list of relatively quick foods back in the darkest, deepest depression days (turns out my brain chemistry reacts horribly to antidepressants and antipsychotics). I was just an anxious dude that didn’t know it due to being heavily medicated.

That annoyed me with Windows too, however, Active Hours adjusted to the times that I actively used my PC. As I kept my PC up to date and never kept it running while not in use for too long, I’ve never been threatened with a forced restart randomly. That being said, a user should have full control over their PC. They will though in turn be responsible for any poor outcomes due to making poor decisions.

I ended up choosing a Linux distro over Windows because I have absolute control over my PC at all times. Freedom to modify, to potentially break, but also easily recover my distro if I truly fuck up.

I haven’t specifically seen anyone go off the rails when it comes to emoji usage on Lemmy; I can only comment on my particular feelings about emoji: Like any tool, emoji can be used in ways which are confusing. However, the value of these little images conveying additional context to written text is useful. There is so much of the personal voice which is lost with written words, unadorned with body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions. Emoji are like a written solution to this issue (for those that don’t pick up on context on words alone). I am fine with the usage of emoji.

Oof, yeah, Death By Appointment might be a better name as I couldn’t see them offering on the spot meat suit evacuation! It’s a process to get approval for getting a humane end to one’s medical suffering. They’d likely be too swamped to do it any other way.

Seventh Generation has a disinfectant based on an essential oil, thymol is the active ingredient.

An interesting read, one of the reasons why I clean the things that I own. Microorganisms will find ways to survive and thrive on any surface. I like to first clean and then use a natural sanitizer after.
