It's a strange day when I'm cheering for the DODGERS!!!

Something bad. Is it something bad? I bet it was something bad.

Why is this NFSW?

I really don't have anything to add that the other commenters said already. I just want to echo what they've said and let that message be heard even louder that this guy is a creep, and a piece of shit.

How is it different than Lutris?

I'm running ZorinOS on an SSD.

Imagine being a confederate soldier, and then watching the assasination of MLKjr. Seeing everything change over the coarse of 200 years. Remembering that the confederacy only lasted for 4 years.

Then imagine seeing people in OHIO with a confederate flag. C'mon Ohio. You're not the south. You share a border with Canada. You weren't part of this. Why are you choosing to be trash?

HA! Jokes on them! I'm running a budget dell PC from 10 years ago! The PC itself is slower than any delays they cause! I'm talkin' 3-5 minutes to load each video. Sometimes the whole PC freezes, and you need to unplug it. Sometimes the browser crashes right at the end, so you gotta relaunch the browser, and then wait 20 minutes for all the tabs to populate. Then you gotta end task on all the individual windows. Then you gotta reload just the tab you're looking at, and THEN you can wait 5 minutes again.

You think I'm even going to notice your 10 second delay?

you can almost use it entirely without the CLI

The word "almost" is doing some heavy lifting there. Linux is still a "terminal culture".

I spent 6 hours last night trying to figure out how to make a usb boot drive from ZorinOS.

Step 1 ‐ install BalenaEtcher.

I never figured out step 1. It's not in the software store.

I downloaded the zip, and then had no idea what to do with it.

I watched a youtube video on what to do with the zip, and in his video he had one file in the zip. I had about 20 files, and a couple folders. And I didn't have the file he used.

Eventually I found an APPimg file, and it installed Balena Etcher. But it wouldn't launch after being installed.

Then I heard of some other way, starting with a Z. You can put multiple ISOs on it, and choose at boot.

So I downloaded ReactOS, 3 different versions of Mint, pop_os, and zaphrite os. The only one that booted was pop_os. Which I didn't much care for, but at least it booted.

Spent 5 hours on that, and still have no idea how to use ZorinOS to make a usb boot disk that actually works.

In windows, you download an exe file for balena etcher, click it, probably go through 12 different screens of install, but then it works.

Flatpaks get hate? I know snap gets hate, and I get why, but flatpaks? What's wrong with flatpaks?

I like this reply, because even though it's an opinion, it's a self realized opinion. It's not trying to push opinions as facts. It gives insight to this persons taste, which if everybody did this, you'd get an idea of who likes what, and why. That would give you an idea of how different things are percieved.

I feel like the sidelined family members on family fued.

"Good answer! Good answer!"

.....see, I see the /s, but without that, I'd have legitimately thought that was another option.

All you gotta do is reply back "I do not support America. I support Saudi Arabia's takeover of America."

See, they won't see you as a terrorist, because despite having direct involvement in 9/11, and despite having a direct role in 99% of American businesses, America still see's Saudi Arabia as an ally. I've been baffled by that for decades, but, they do.

Now if you'd have used Iran as the example, you'd be locked up.

I also don't understand our allegiance to Israel at this point.

Daily reminder, Jimmy Carter willingly sold his peanut farm because his morality told him of his own viewpoints that it may be seen as unfair for a President to own business interests while serving the most important role of government. Which in his mind may come off as corrupt.

We now have a president who see's his name as a brand. That's where we've gone.

I feel like men sometimes look at women as "there's my fuckhole", and I feel like women sometimes look at men as "there's my validation".

In both cases, the person is wrong for thinking of the other gender as being there exclusively to fill the role that they've cast for the other.

I've dated women where I wasn't me. I was "the boyfriend". A role that literally any male could have played. Because who I was didn't matter. My personality wasn't being considered. My needs and wants and goals weren't given any thought because to these women, none of that mattered. I was there exclusively to fill the role of validating her insecurities that she is able to find someone, anyone, to love her.

On the flip side of that, I have in decades gone by been guilty of fucking a girl, simply because she let me. Where I realized our personalities didn't mesh. We weren't going to last long term. So just shut the fuck up as I fuck you in the ass.

The one major difference, is that in my ex's case, she was lying to herself that I mattered. So therefore she was also lying to me, because she was trying to convince herself that we were a match.

Whereas I tried to date the girl I eventually just fucked. But after a month, I realized our personalities did not mesh. So I was upfront. She was free to leave, or free to be bend over and be treated like a human sex doll.

Although I can't say all guys will be honest if they're just using you for sex.

The point is, you need to ask yourself if you want "a boyfriend" or if you want to start dating (insert person's name here) because (person) makes you happy when you're around them.

And watch out for guys just using you for sex. If you're fine with it, it can be a lot of fun. You're free to try out kinks judgement free without long term consequence.

But if you're NOT fine with casual sex, you need to know that's what it is.

42 gallon jar of baconaise, magic the gathering common cards, and a box of matches!

I don't think I need to go on.

No.

You think I don't notice??? I say outloud "I WANT TO BUY CATFOOD!!!" and then suddenly later that week, by pure coincidence, at the supermarket, there just "happens" to be a whole isle of various pet foods??? Yeah. I think not! That whole scheme is just an alien scheme to get me to adopt that french cat who follows me around town speaking french all day! I tried telling him! MR CAT! I DON'T SPEAK YOUR FRENCH LANGUAGE!!! YOU NEED TO BEFRIEND A TRANSLATOR TO TALK TO ME!!! NO HABLAH ESPENOL!!!"

But there he is. Every day, just trying to talk to me like "J'ai un chat dans mon pantalon".

And you're trying to tell me this cat is just a natural wild animal? This is the work of aliens for sure! Otherwise this cat would walk to Quebec Canada where they tolerate that kind of frenchness.

What? You think cats give a shit about our borders, and passports??? Bitch, have you met a cat???

Never heard of that name before, so I googled it. Holy shit. Guys, if you haven't heard of Rachel Dolezal, google it. It is a WILD read.

It reminds me of this local wrestling character. "Malcolm Farrakhan". A combination of the names Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. Played by a 90lbs 5'2 white guy, who surrounded himself with a group of big muscular black guys. One of which you might remember from WWE in The Nexus as "Micheal Tarver".

Well, Malcolm Farrakhan was as white as could be, which was the whole joke. He didn't do blackface (thank god), but his whole schtick was screaming "I AM A VERY LIGHT SHADE OF BLACK!!! I HAVE BLACK HERRITAGE!!!" meanwhile the crowd laughs at the absurdity, as a group of 4-5 black guys all act like they fully believe him.

Wrestling is weird, and not meant to be taken seriously.

But this Rachel Dolezal essentially did the exact same thing a decade later, except in real life. Just less cartoonish about it.

Which is pretty fucked up.

Wrong sub.
