i can still remember the end of february, 2021. wife and i were doing our own things; i turned to her and mentioned that i hadnt heard anything government related for about a month.
we both were pleasantly surprised about how much we missed it being super boring with no daily scandal/law being broken.
it will be nice to notice that feeling again in ~feb 2029. i am looking forward to it.
“we havent tried anything and we’re all out of ideas” :p
the best kind of art is art you interact with. if this art is for the public, then allow the public to have it.
privacywalled. whats the scoop?
Stoat will never win unless the animal kingdom gets ranked choice voting!
(ty, cgp grey, for making the best videos on this)
i havent had the chance to try stoat yet because most of my friends refuse to leave discord, but i heard of Stoat (used to he called Revolt, but i think there was a trademark conflict) a while back and have wanted to try it out.
that is great! terminal use is not for everyone, so i only recommend using it if people feel comfortable with it or think it can save them time (and during troubleshooting, but im usually helping at that point).
my wife diesnt like using the terminal and has successfully gone without using it (minus me setting things up for her in the first few months), and that has given me a lot mire confidence in recommending linux to those that just want to use a computer and want it to “just work”
they get kubuntu or fedora with ~3 months of support from me. it can sometimes take 6 months if the person doesnt really use their computer often, tho.
mario was more expensive than baseball grape, so i smelled like baseball grape.
RATM was really good when i was growing up; i really enjoyed the music, and it felt like it made me a rebellious kid.
now that i am an adult, those old songs hit pretty hard; i love their music because its true.
i can remember dressing up as Hans & Franz (an old SNL skit) with one of my good friends long ago. it was a great costume idea because it was sweatpants + swearshirt with pillows for insulation 👍
i made a joke about the tylenol-autism thing to my wife when this first started getting some press, “i guess J&J didnt bribe trump with enough money…”
i see now that it wasn’t a joke, just too soon to say it for realsies.
underflow
so the government of alabama is now a murderer. stay classy, AL.
im so glad i started wearing glasses in high school. i had no idea my vision was bad, but i saw this in the car when my parents were driving. i thought this was normal.
i always wondered if my vision would be as good as theirs when i got older because they could read the street signs. i did not own a smart.
just kicked off borderlands 3 over the weekend (it was a freebie on epic a while back).
i can see where they were trying to take the series, but i think they need a “back-to-basics” moment; there were a few decisions that really detract from the ability to be immersed.
(ux)the skill tree system has changed in a way that makes upgrading confusing to the point that i dont even use my special ability (it spawns a mech)
(ui)there are multiple advertisements for DLC that are always on your minimap and block your view of POIs - they look like questgivers
(bug)sometimes fast travel works and sometimes it doesnt (and sometimes it does but doesnt let you travel unless you close and reopen the map)
these 3 issues make it really difficult to enjoy a gaming session without being reminded that i need to spend more money so this convoluted system wont be fixed.
3 days in and i give it a meh 5/10; it seems like the budget was too big.
like when an escalator breaks; its just stairs now.
(rip mitch)
you will get weirdly excited about a new vacuum you love and tell everyone about its features.
