Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • What's the worst part about getting older that young people don't know about?

    Jump

  • The weight of experience.

    The heartbreaks, failures, disappointments, and losses you experience in your youth accrue and do permanent damage over time. Also, everything you loved in your youth will be unrecognizably different or gone completely within 20-30 years. (Which is why I recommend people get in the habit of journaling.)

    Also, you won't digest food as well as you age and your digestion's going to get weird.

  • It's an interesting point.

    I would assume, personally, given that the Biden admin and Trump I admin were staffed with actual serious people, that there were more guardrails and oversight and Alex Karp had to be better behaved in his business operations. The billionaires, however, are running the asylum now, and there are absolutely no guardrails.

    In 10-20 years, when Donald is gone and people feel safe to write books about what's actually happening right now, it's going to make for interesting and enlightening reading.

    My ASUS handles any gaming needs that my Acer can't, and my Acer has Linux and handles everything else.

    Sony can eat my whole ass with the price gouging.

  • TIL about the 'Red Lady of Paviland' a 33k-34k old skeleton covered in ochre and one of the oldest examples of a ceremonial burial

    Jump

  • Also, the Red Lady has since been found to be a young man and not a lady. The assumption was made that the skeleton was of a woman due to some of the objects found with it, which were assumed to be bodily decorations.

  • It's not bad. Feels very familiar and I've found a few people who got very creative with it.

  • WinRAR releases new update and says it’s thanks to people finally paying

  • For me personally about 30% of my video game library, which don't function even with the various compatibility tools.

    But when I started my YouTube channel I was using Openshot, which does not work on Linux, or at least it didn't for me. My old Lenovo Legion was largely incompatible with Linux too, as I tried a dual-boot with two different distros and still had to debug it all the time. (Thankfully not a problem on the Acer that replaced it.)

    Linux is great, but it's not yet compatible with everything.

  • What's one book everyone should read at least once in their lifetime?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah. Thank you for sharing.

    I've heard of those two as well, but even so, there's a lot written about in the book that I never learned, even through the earning of my bachelors degree, which is why I'm always quick to recommend that people read it.

  • I'm glad you can have a Windows-free existence.

    Some things just don't function well on Linux, but there are lots of us who are 99% Linux and don't use Windows unless we have to.

  • Price hikes pushing consumers to abandon their favorite brands

    Jump

  • Facts.

    I quit drinking soda this month because the off-brand soda I like inexplicably stop being sold by every store in the area, probably due to the Iran War, and RC Cola, Pepsi, and Coke all cost the same gouged prices. I could just take the price gouging and buy them anyway, but I'd rather quit consuming it out of spite.

    That it's healthier is just a side bonus.

    City Council here apparently really, really don't want to get reelected.
