Needing to feel superior is meaningless. Feeling just in your distro decisions is something you can only give to yourself when you are honest. If I need to shame your decisions based on your needs, I know I am doing something wrong and I need to distro hop. I should feel self sufficient in my choices, and so should you. I encourage your distro usage and hope you master it enough to suit your needs.
"But I want to support those little poor billionares, who's going to look after their livehood and ethical buisness?"
The more you pay for big brands, whatever product you buy, be it clothes, food, or any form of knowledge, the more you drive up the sales, the more you reinforce the idea that money is a tool only a few chosen are rightful of having, just like the riches and the labour of the many. (Buy from local producers as much as you can)
Ironically enough, pirating makes people more aware of what it consumes, what labor is and mostly to get to support creators directly for what they put out. You can't steal from corporations, you only get back the unpaid /underpaid labour of many. Quality content and effort should be rewarded, so please support/help your creators in any way you can.
I'm confused, do you automatically get to be in posession of books that have ass pics in them once you live in Ohio? I'm moving there if that's the case lmao
"Oil? Under that trolley? I can pillage golden resources from a land that doesn't belong to me, get away with it and even be praised for killing innocents in the name of profit and destroy public transit? STRIKE IT CRAIG"
I mean it's either that or screaming to let out my problems. Running is more evironmentally friendly and it helps me to not get out of breath in my day to day stuff. It stops me from curling up in a ball dreading life, so yea.
No worries(my reply time is even worse as you can see), thank you for the reply. It feels unreal how far the distance between stuff is, I didn't think it was that crazy, but the more I learn about this, the more I'm happy I don't have to deal with this. My only question is how driving fatigue is avoided. And regarding motorcycles, I feel you on that. I personally wouldn't ride one here because of potholes and unsafe traffic.
But in all seriousness, I get that having space is bliss, but it's torture to have to drive everywhere.
I think a lot of people here who are not into tech in a non-professional capacity are into "nerd" stuff as a hobby. Including me. I don't know if I count, but I'm looking forward into working in tech, kinda terified because I run the chance of getting my hobby jaded.
Yes, the gnomes in my garden that I posed near for my profile picture are real and will judge your soul. Consider those who suffer, for when they suffer, so do you.
Truer words have never been spoken. Nic(h)e porn, nic(h)e hobbies. It's time to rebuild here. Also it still blows my mind to hear about the amount of money people used to throw on customizible avatars & awards( 3k, like how tf do you even live at this point)
Again, I'm sorry you have to deal with a lot right now, I wish I could help you.
I forgot to add in my original comment to do "the list". Add to it little by little over time some aspects that stuck with you from the former relationship(if it is not too painful). This is a tool to use for self reflection and to not idealise the former partner(s), it's useful when I think about reaching out.
For me it's easier in a way, the relationship that ended sucked, but my mind often recalls what I wanted it to be instead of what it was. Recalling and seeing what went down is crucial for me, because it lets me know how I acted in certain situations and allows me to take responsibility for my actions(and if I don't like them, to see their root and try to look at it with compassion and patience instead of shame and frustration-still a work in progress for me right now).
While looking forward is scary, there is always something waiting. I thought I would never be worthy of peace or acceotance after I ended a previous relationship, and then the last one happened, which was good when it started.
Give yourself time and care, to grieve and recharge. Breakups are exhausting. (Sorry for the long post)
I'm rooting for you, and please don't hesitate to reach out whenever you can, I'm looking forward to an update.
I was the same way, but people do seriously undermine the severity of sun damage. It caught me off track when I had severe sun damage, as I didn't expect fever and being woken up by my skin burning and blending into the bed sheets in the middle of the night.
