Your acquaintance sounds like a cool person.

“What kinds of stuff are you into?” is probably the question you wanted to ask instead of asking about pirating random content.

Difference is the labels in the latter case are accurate by all accounts.

Really doubt Mamdani is a jihadist, but we see a Republican arrested for child porn at least quarterly. 🤷‍♂️

Now do Palestinians.

Because our children being fucking dumb enough that 86 of them ate LAUNDRY DETERGENT is an issue.

You are ignoring people who have walked this path and are giving you the advice right now.

Public file hosting is not where you start.

I’m in my late 30s now, and my body feels better than in my early 20s, as I had stopped working out during that time. Also ended up getting diagnosed for adhd in my mid 40s and just this year had vyvanse prescribed which has proved a huge help.

How old are you? What is this? I worry I am engaging with an AI here or something.

We shouldn’t be growing almonds in a desert and yet you hold that up as a defense for AI.

🤷‍♂️

Correct, I did not watch the video because the first premise the video offered is untrue. I don’t mean to poo-poo you sharing Linux stuff, and if this video gets more people onto Linux, great.

But like I said, it is not for those of us who have been here for a very long time screaming about how important it is to control your OS if you want to own your computer.

Windows NEVER meant freedom.

Noped out right away.

Not the video for those of us who have been around for long enough to remember all the shit MS pulled trying to kill Linux off.

Thing is, I am starting to think this has been true for the entirety of recorded history. You know we solved scarcity when we started having time to write shit down.

All of our recorded story as a species is just us hurting each other until we figure that out. The moral arc of history is indeed long.

American rancher? Fuck you!

Trump fucks his supporters yet again.

Sure, just know that this feedback is coming from people who have probably walked the same path and are trying to save you some pain. Best of luck, but I have found people like that are not engaging in good faith.

Hope this guy gets the help he is clearly crying out for.

The linked example specifically wasn’t due to overcrowding.

Party of corruption and greed and lawlessness.

I use a strat where I play past me off against future me as present me and through spiteful actions can achieve these things. Maybe a similar strategy can work for you. Let me give an example:

Your disgust with past you motivates you to go to the grocery store. Your pettiness toward future you means you buy ingredients instead of prepped. The future anger this engenders in a present you forced to prepare a sandwich can be fed back into the system to motivate a trip to the grocery… etc.

Never underestimate spite.

Edit: if you find yourself cackling in the produce aisle holding some weirdo hard to prepare growth you have gone too far and should dial it back.

What about some rolls and some cold cuts and sliced cheese with some romaine? Takes only a few minutes to make a sandwich. Probably less than you would need to microwave most prepared meals.

Slow cookers can be found at estate sales for very little, usually under $10 equivalent. You can throw your preferred meat, canned beans, canned tomatoes, canned whatever you like in and let it cook overnight and usually end up with something you can freeze, reheat and eat without a big loss in taste quality. That slow cooker does all the work for you while you sleep, you just have to package it however you like.

Know anyone at work or through any other connection who likes to cook? Maybe worth thinking about if you have a skill to trade they lack. Maybe you could work out something where you provide ingredients and they meal prep for you while you provide them with a skill you have that you enjoy.

Don’t eat the lead. Best of luck!

Please do not just get your food from a venture backed corporation.

Please.

What do you do?

This just keeps happening until we decide our governments work for us and not for corporations.
