They say the average person swallows 3 spiders a year.
I think we’re safe. I think WE don’t swallow any spiders, but she’s swallowed millions. So it skews the curve.


I’ve read that just installing arch is a whole ordeal in itself.
You’re talking to a guy who won’t touch terminal because on 6 different occasions I’ve bricked a whole hard drive just by using sudo apt update/ sudo apt upgrade incorrectly.
And you expect me to understand ARCH???
Are you high?


I didn’t try to use sudo apt install hardinfo, but the software store will find things from flatpack, snap, a few others.
It did not find hardinfo.


Well…it didn’t. It told me hardinfo would need 3 dependancies. Then said it wasn’t going to install them.
It listed the 3 dependancies it needed, but said they will not be installed.


Did you try installing the dependencies?
I have zero clue how to do that. I don’t even know what file extention they would be, or where I would get them, or what step 1 would be to installing them.


In windows, any decent program will say “this program needs these dependancies. Would you like to install them?” And I hit yes.
In linux it says “This program won’t install because it needs these dependancies first. We won’t help you install them. You figure it out.”


So instead of just using apt – like every introductory tutorial to Ubuntu and its derivatives leads off with – you chose to do it (effectively) the Windows way that you’re familiar with where you hunt and peck around the Internet for an install file.
Because in 20+ years of off and on using linux, I’ve never once gotten apt to install anything. I have however fucked up my whole system by doing sudo apt update/sudo apt upgrade.
I avoid terminal like the plauge.
You didn’t have the dependencies, and it told you which ones to install. Why does it need to tell you why it needs them?
I didn’t say I want to know why it needs them. I’m upset it tells me that it tells me it needs them, and then says “they won’t be installed”, but won’t tell me WHY they won’t be installed. If the program needs those dependancies, just install them. Instead it juat says “we know you need the dependancies, but we’re not going to do that”.


The problem with linux is the rough edges. It’s SLOWLY getting better.
2026 linux I find to be BARELY usable as a daily driver.
2006 linux was just trash.
In both cases, power users may have a different experience.
I tried installing a program called “hardinfo”. My ZorinOS software store didn’t find it through flathub.
So I googled it, found a .deb file, which my Zorin store loaded up to install.
Then I hit install, and it spits out a message like “Software was not installed. Requires these three dependancies, which will not be installed”.
Didn’t tell me why they didn’t install. Just said “Hardinfo needs these programs. Good luck figuring it out asshole!”
Ok, it may not have said it in those EXACT words…but you get the idea.
That being said, I recently booted up my old Windows 7 machine, and…I have no idea if the OS was always this slow, or if it’s gotten slower due to being SO out of date. It felt sluggish. And it theoretically SHOULD be faster. I have 16GB of ram now instead of 8GB. And it’s running off of SSD instead of a 5400rpm HDD. Theoretically it should have a huge speed boost.
Maybe I’m just used to a lighter OS after using it for this many years.

Hear that guys??? It’s time to get serious! No more joking around!
So a jew, a catholic, and a muslim walk into a bar…and things were pretty akward from across the room.
Some of them. I’m not a fan of poison ivy, or geese.
People are just as fake as AI
Whelp, this is my life meow
FTFY
…why does this gif exist???
God dammit. Your post made me realize the obvious answer.
Gail. You e-mail Gail.
Welp. I suck at life.
No no no. That’s not how rhymes work.
You text Lex, and e-mail a female!
…yeah, let’s see YOU find a name that rhymes with “e-mail”. Not so easy, is it?
C’mon now! Don’t do that. Don’t be that guy. Don’t be the person who thinks he’s making a funny joke, but is in fact wrong.
Everybody knows Jeffrey Dahmer targeted loners who had few if any connections, because it would be easier to prey on their lonelyness. He only killed 1 at a time, and if he waited until he had 8 bodies, the first few would have already began to rot! You gotta cook human flesh right away! Otherwise it spoils…
Gay men.
I once worked at a very shitty hotel. We’re talking a hookers 'n heroin type hotel. I once had a family in July come to the front desk at 3am complaining that this hotel was NOT suitable for a family to stay at. I simple said “Oh, I fully agree. This place ISN’T made for family vacations. Why ARE you here???”. She didn’t have an answer for that. She was atrempting to use that as reason why she should get a refund. She had no idea how to react to me saying that she WAS in the wrong place, she WAS in danger, and the smart thing to do was leave now for her own families safety.
Well, about a year after that we had a gay leather biker convention that booked 80% of the whole hotel.
While I was checking this one guy in, another guy walked up behind him and asked “Hi, I’m Tom. Are you single to play?” The first guy says “I’m not single, but we’re free to play”. The second guy just said “Great. I’m in room 302. Here’s a keycard. Bring your boyfriend and all your friends.”
Me, being a straight male just had to be amazed at the efficiency. Tom just went from being a stranger to hosting a threesome, potentially an orgy, in 3 sentences.
Not even the germans are THAT efficient! I just stood there thinking "God dammit. Why can’t I be gay? That was SO easy! With women you have to do all this other pesky stuff, like learning their name, going to dinner, finding out who they are as a person…Tom basically just walked up and said “Come get laid”.
I think gay guys give more blowjobs just based on the fact that with a straight couple, only one is giving blowjobs and only sometimes. Gay guys BOTH give blowjobs, and I assume it’s several times a day. Like one just walks into the room, shoves his cock into the others mouth, and says “Oh by the way, my parents are coming to visit this weekend…don’t stop. I can multitask.”
