I like them as an option, there are some programs like Bottles or specific game launchers that work under flatpak better than the versions available via native package manager (with Bottles in particular, you can use various built-in sandbox features via flatpak which makes things a bit more secure), but it's also a bit of a pain because it's an additional package manager you have to update separately now, or tweak if things go wrong.
I mean, even this kind of argument doesn't really work in reality. We already live in "hell on earth", and via electorialism usually two choices are given: the progressive "nothing ever happens" option (so your socdems, democrats, you'll be lucky to get a good policy or two but no real change to the status quo) or "literally hitler" option, maybe some parties that stand in the middle of the spectrum if the country is "advanced" enough.
In other words, via electorialism you can either preserve the hell on earth or make it worse, and the process of voting legitimizes this status quo as it's what "people have decided" rather than who the ruling class cast as candidates, who had the most money and media influence for campaigning.
It's important to see electorialism for what it truly is.
Fitgirl is a repacker, not a cracker so this really depends what kind of a release is it, so you'd have to test by yourself.
It should work when it comes to launching the game, I've done it before in the past. But in theory, it's unlikely to work with achievements given how cracks tend to overwrite the steam api dll files and hooks, likely disabling achievements in the process as part of the crack.
Something you could try is to copy the steam dll files like steam_api64.dll from the original copy on steam to the cracked one and see if that does the trick.
I was told that I was smart and great at school, that I'd get some cool job like working in a lab, but those are just platitudes when you're unable to get disciplined or function consistently at your max.
And honestly, so far in my life I feel its been a blessing in disguise - while I did go for education in a specific field, graduated and failed to get a job, working simpler uneducated jobs does give a degree of freedom. You can take up odd jobs, work in a factory or in a shop if you want - whatever doesn't require a specific degree and can switch between these jobs when you kinda feel like it going for jack-of-all-trades type of build, while if you got a well-paying specialization then it's what you're pushed to be stuck doing for the rest of your life.
Maybe that's secretly my brain coming up with cope, but experiencing new things constantly for lower pay > high pay specialized work you're doing forever.
BG3 is pretty good for that to be honest - good character customization, there's a learning curve to be sure so its not a power fantasy until you get past that.
Showering only every 2 weeks during summer back when I was living in a peasantoid lodge where getting water and a bath/shower ready is a major pain in the ass.
Same - and it's weird to see so many leftists immediately jump to unconditional support for Hamas, who are literally a reactionary, religious fundamentalist force and who have done horrible things towards Palestinian people.
Armed resistance to Israel does not negate its evils or its reactionary internal role.
I was germophobic my entire life up until like a year or two ago where I kinda got over it and stopped giving a shit, but I'm still incredibly paranoid about food expiration, even when the best before day hasn't been reached as is 1-2 days away.
Had that exact same thing for the longest time, was essentially forced to do all-dayers if I went to sleep too late one night as from that point onward, I wouldn't be able to fall asleep any earlier which sucked. Granted, most of the issue was caused by me having poor self control, no real sleep set-in-stone sleep schedule or anything like it (except when school or work required it).
However, I did manage to fix it by making a very simple change, and that is to wake up at the exact same time every single day and do not sleep in. No sleeping in (you can lay in for like 30 mins if you want but avoid closing your eyes or just play music to prevent falling asleep), no "not setting your alarm clock at the weekend to sleep longer", just choose a single time to base your life on and wake up at that time every single day no matter what (in my case it's 6 am).
Now, I don't know your brain chemistry or whatever but for me it worked almost instantaneously.
