5 6 7 8 Amerikkka is a fascist state

Me, bottom 10%, making coffee for a paycheck and scavenging my new pair of pants from a dumpster: Yeah, man, you said it.

Oh, hey, we're up to the Enlightened Monarchs phase of the Enlightenment of the 18th century.

I worked in mental health for years. Some of my most interesting patients were also some of the kindest and most compassionate. One lady was convinced that a famous director was her husband, and had (legit, in her record) walked across five states to accept his psychic wedding proposal. When another patient was in crisis, she was the first one to find us and tell us, and if we weren't there right away, she would sit with them and reassure them until we could make it.

And then there was the dude who had scammed nearly a thousand retirees because he could--and having psychotic delusions was just something on the side.

Being mentally ill is not a precursor for evil. However, Kanye seems to have made it his mission.

I've heard this philosophy before, yeah. And honestly, it's why I legit think of Jedi and Dudeists as credible. If some of the wisest writers in our distant history were revealed to actually be a shared pen name for five or six guys, then why is it weird to say that Master Yoda and Uncle Iroh are my favorite philosophers?

He's refused help at every turn. Not even his wife could get through to him. Not his friends, not his family, not his colleagues. None of them could convince him to stay on his meds and stay sane.

Don't mind me, being a casual user since 2014 taking down notes as I'm reading the debates in the comments.

But I finally found out why Steam kept crashing. Snap broke it. I forced it to run as a flatpak, and now it works exactly as intended. Literally what made me finally switch from Ubuntu to Mint.

Didn't expect to see a legend just scrolling here. Thank you for your contributions to computer science.

Yeah, I jumped ship right around the time Win8 came out. 14.04 was an interesting time to start learning. I was obsessed with trimming out bloat, so I used a tool to uninstall orphaned packages. Problem was, it also deleted some dependencies for GNOME.

I had, to quote the most helpful and humorous person in an Ubuntu forum post, "borked it so bad it had to be nuked from orbit."

I have since learned my lesson and learned to be a little bit more careful with the magical responsibilities of sudo.

<I think I still have an old book that cautioned if you configured your refresh rates and monitor settings incorrectly your monitor could catch on fire.> Are you telling me that one dev for X.org could set someone's monitor on fire by fucking with four lines of code?

Jesus Christ, thanks for that, I didn't need to sleep tonight.

American here. Fucking true, brother. You tell 'em!

Queen Liliuokalani deserves to have her name heard. And the US and the Dole Corporation both owe Hawaiians their sovereignty back.

Oh. My god.

SHE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE FRUIT BAT!!! <3 <3 <3

Don't worry, it's a fake. Luckily.

That road, deadass, goes through five war zones. Hell no.

Was a mental health tech at a psych hospital. Ditto this, when it's the nurse's word against yours and the Ombudsman is already overworked and overwhelmed, you're cooked.

I tried to go to bat for my patients so often, but once the nurses and the aides burn out, they stop doing the job because they care and start doing the job because it's a job. I had nurses who told me to overchart patients so their insurance would pay more and they'd stay longer. Shady, shady shit.

Red Flag laws are used to remove guns from Trans, Latino, and Black people in red states too. It's not the solution to gun violence that people think it is. It was a good idea, but it ends up falling to paradox of the false positive and even being weaponized against minorities more often than not. It violates due process as well.

More comprehensive care for people with severe mental health issues and arresting and jailing domestic violence offenders their first time is more effective. Unfortunately, we just defunded public mental health, so...

If all of us flee to Canada, there will be no one left to fight back.

We love you for welcoming those of us who can't stay. But someone has to.

I wish. It would mean that this genocidal freak would feel his sins crawling on his back.

Right. Sure. Keep shilling for daddy Putin, you'll get your promotion for sure if you keep it up.

Fuck you, Russia STARTED this fight. Imperialism and capitalism are the god damn problem, and here you are enabling them both.
