  • I'd assume the logical way to eat that is with your hand. I feel like your choices are to manhandle the dangler and eat the bread first, or, you can hold it by the bread and fight the wiggler into your mouth. Both feel equally silly, but I'm down.

  • It's definitely a very well made desktop environment. It's what I started with back in 06-08 when I started using Ubuntu. Ubuntu has a pretty well built mate flavor, as does Linux mint. The Ubuntu mate flavor is a great one to see what's functionally possible with mate. There's a bunch of preconfigured set ups matching various other operating systems and some unique configurations. On my main PC, I'm running garuda xfce, but with bspwm as the window manager. For my laptop, I'm running pretty much the same set up, but with Linux mint Debian edition in xfce/bspwm as well. Your set up is still rad though, I really dig it!

  • The good advice is to just move on. The petty advice is to screenshot all of his bullshit where he flaunts the company he works for as well as whatever other unsavory bits he's posted and report it to his employers HR team. Just an idea, you could also bang his mom

  • Whether we like it or not, whoever the next president is shouldn't be just representing their own party. They're representing all Americans and should act as such. It's unfortunate that a good portion of Americans are sycophantic psychopaths, but they still get representation. I'm honestly just jazzed to see someone under 60. I get that Biden's age hasn't shown to be an issue, but I think seeing what zelynsky has done for Ukraine has made me want a younger president

  • I took a cursory look through his involvement with recent bills, dude doesn't seem terrible on paper based on just that. Apparently he has some ties to big businesses, however he seems pretty pro union. He's also pro marijuana, and has done a good bit to try and expand Medicare coverage and general social securities for older folks.

    These are just very quick assessments after going through his website, so there's probably definitely no bias there whatsoever and is totally transparent /s. I'm not saying he's the man, just not an awful choice to go for. Plus, he's not ancient

  • I was in highschool when the PS3 and 360 were in their prime. It was almost like the console wars part 2, but it was a cold social war. A lot of people had one or the other, but rarely both. What console you had heavily decided who your friends were. Depending on who was in your halo party, or fragging out in COD, or co-oping through borderlands 2. That was your crew. You spent hours with them and it really changed how strong some bonds were more than people realized. The PS3 had a somewhat luxury feel to it, while the 360 was more cool, I particularly liked the blade UI. The PS3 was perfectly fine, but it was pricier and therefore less popular amongst middle/lower class families. I worked at the time and saved up for both. My core group of friends played PlayStation, so that's what I rocked for online games and as my primary. My 360 was jtagged with a rgh and I yanked out the disc drive and replaced it with a bigger hard drive. That was solely for pirated solo games and exclusives. Good times. The following generation I was strictly PS4 until switching to PC full time

  • Pro-tip, at least when I last used Word, hold alt when dragging and dropping images. It somehow fixed the brokenness of the default way of doing it. I think this still works, I just haven't had to type anything up in like 5-10 years, of the stuff I have, I don't think I've ever had to include an image.

  • It'll take some time, but the more you do it, the more comfortable it gets. At first it's going to feel kind of cringey. That feeling fades with time. Just gotta keep in mind that you're writing for you, not for anyone else. Also jrnl is available through the aur and GitHub. I don't currently run anything other than garuda so I can't speak for how available it is on Debian/fedora/etc

  • I hope it works out for you! If you're Linux based, I recommend jrnl. It's a lightweight terminal tool that handles logging and accessing your journal entries and has an encryption option built in. Through the config, you can use whatever text editor you want. I'm using vim because I hate myself!

    As for the experience, it really takes some time to get used to. When I first started, I found myself "faking it" for lack of a better word. I wasn't actually writing what I was feeling, I was writing what I'd want someone else to read if they found it. After a while, that became less of the norm and I started treating it like a pen pal that I never heard back from. It lets me kind of put things into perspective and really dig into why I think I'm feeling what I'm feeling. Writing that you're mad won't make you not mad. Writing what made you mad, why you think it bothers you, etc. Won't really make you not mad. The latter helps you understand what's going on better and then you can work on regulating yourself from there

  • I do. Not as often as I'd like sometimes. I treat it like I'm writing a letter to someone who doesn't exist. It helps me vent whatever I've been struggling with, or take some pride in the things that have gone right for me. I feel weird talking about stuff like that with friends and family, so this gives me an empty void to talk into without worry of judgement. I started doing it a while ago after going through some therapy and it's been the one thing that's actually helped post-therapy. My journal lives in a Linux partition on my main PC through an encrypted file that has a different password than any I use elsewhere. No one that has access to that computer can navigate how I have Linux set up, nor would they know how to go through the terminal to decrypt the file. These protections are in place to ensure that no one sees anything they shouldn't. If you do journal, I recommend taking similar precautions, but I'm also not mentally well and paranoid to boot, so grain of salt and all that
