I hate it so freaking much when I’m thrown into nano. I have to quickly exit and fix whatever made that happen.

A wizard.

Once or twice every 4-5 years.

Skin is just a lazy way of seeing “the other”. If we all, worldwide, collectively fucked our way to a uniform pigment, we would just find another way to define “the other”.

I can’t remember the last time I had a t-shirt last a year. Anyway, I was going to suggest adding Borax, but that’s a US thing I guess. Add vinegar to your wash and hang dry. That worked on my gym stuff back when I actually went to the gym a lot.

I fucking hate people in general, and do all I can not to interact with people if I don’t have to. But if I have to talk to someone, I’d rather drive 20 minutes and talk face to face than deal with any type of phone or video interaction. That said, I’d much rather just have a quick chat or email to get the same thing done.

Haha, they are increasing military spending. Showing that reducing the deficit is not the goal at all. They were towing the plane around the flight deck and had some mistake, the tow truck thingy went off the bridge, taking the plane with it. Seems like a design flaw somewhere. Not a big ding to the military, that’s like 0.25% of the available super hornets. Sure is a dumb way to throw a few tens of millions of dollars away, but growing up around the military, I’ve known for decades that the military are great at throwing money out the window.

In my experience, most workers would do at least as good a job in upper management, but the reverse is not true at all.

You worthless bitch

You fickle shit

You will spit on me

You will make me spit

And when the Judas howl, arise

And like the Jesus Jews, you epitomize

I’ll still be here as strong as you

And I’ll walk away in spite of you -bauhaus (Crowds)

It wasn’t too long ago that I did it. Maybe 8-10 years ago. I realized nothing I needed came in the mail, so I just stopped checking. At one point the postman literally just took all the junk mail and dumped it on my front step. I raised holy hell with the post office about littering, after jamming it all back into the outgoing mail. I think the way the postmaster did it, instead of dealing with my assholeness, was just setting my residence to unoccupied in or something along those lines. Spam, of all sorts (aside from Spam musubi) is just a fucking drag. Like all marketing and advertising.

Yeah, it got so bad I was worried I was going to rage on the delivery driver (for what it’s worth, I support the USPS and have not heard a legitimate argument about why it should be stopped. But fucking junk mail. I know it accounts for a chunk of their income, there has got to be a better way. Like making the price of every single piece of junk mail that is delivered to me is $10. Something. Cut out junk mail and only have delivery 4 days a week. Not consecutively.

But yeah, to get back to your question. I talked to the Postmaster at the local Post Office and they had me write and sign a piece of paper saying,“I DON’T WANT THIS SHIT NO MORE!”. The trouble it caused in my life was absolutely dwarfed by the positive of not having to deal with that shit anymore.

USPS got so pissed at me for just leaving my junk mail in the box. I told them over and over I didn’t need trash delivered to my place. In the end, I just stopped all USPS deliveries. I had nothing of importance coming in through the mail.

My mom’s uncle, white Norwegian, was put in a Nazi camp during WWII. History lesson.

The app may be windows only, but it can often help to ask for alternative. And not things like “What can I use in Linux that is the same as <app> under Windows”. More along the lines of “I need to create or do <x>. In Windoze I used <app>, how do I get the same work done under Linux”. Sometimes you don’t have much of a choice, go emulation layer or VM, but often you can find a different path to the same result and once you get used to it, it’s a better solution.

I started using Linux as a liberal arts major in the late '90s. Both my grandparents (RIP) and my parents (partial RIP) kept having issues with Windows on their computers. I was constantly being called to help them with crap. 20+ years ago I asked if I could try something and they didn’t care, as long as it worked. Debian and XFCE. Configured their email, hooked up the printer. Suddenly the service issues went from several times a month to once every 5+ years. And 90% of those issues just was clearing out the printer queue. I have never once understood the LiNuX iS OnlY FoR suPer TeCH NeRDS bullshit.

They own the judicial though.

You aren’t wrong, and I’m not sure why the other person is arguing with you. Seems like that Monty Python sketch about arguing.

.ml is awful, but you’ll find a lot of those knee jerk purity types spread all over the lemmyverse.
