So yeah, we will all be old one day. But that doesn’t mean we’re all destined to be sad old narcissists.

Right! Of course not! My point is that in this case, age isn’t the problem, it’s still just narcissistic power hungry jerks voting. They just so happen to curse us with their longevity.

So taking voting rights away for all after a certain age wouldn’t serve us, but if overall we keep voting in altruistic ways, we can still do a lot of good into our later years.

If you mean they shouldn’t be in office calling the shots for us at that age though, I TOTALLY agree.

I think more people will trend against that with time, and we will kill the “you lean more right with age” myth once and for all. :)

Wishing you a long and prosperous life, BTW. <3

I’ve heard rumors that some of those troops have witnessed the outside world and are already deserting lol.

I would agree, although a human with an AK is still a human with an AK. Even unskilled, undertrained, under supplied infantry should be taken seriously because they’re still a large number of bodies that can pull triggers.

I’m pretty sure they also thought he’d get spanked relatively quickly, and backpeddle within like a year after he lost enough war criminals and starving peasants who participated in his “special military operation”.

And it’s still going.

We really would be foolish at this point to make any more “It’s unlikely that…” assertions at this point… It’s all out crazy town now.

I see what you’re getting at, but we need to be careful here as we’ll be 70 too at some point.

Under that precedent, gen-Alpha conservicans would likely unanimously vote to have us all thrown into the sea to save on healthcare costs or something. Lmao

I legit wouldn’t be surprised at this point if Qanon was right, but it was just another case of their own ilk blaming others for what they’re already doing.

The entire party is “weird” at this point and refuse to die whilst leading incredibly unhealthy lives. Who’s to say they aren’t up to occult dark-ritual weirdness, mad science, and siphoning lifeforce from kidnapped youth around the world?

(Yes I’m being satirical but also if it had any truth to it, it would TOTALLY be THESE GUYS doing it and blaming it on “the others” amirite?)

I mean, he’s right in one way, you certainly ought to be able to talk about who you are voting for without fear.

Absolutely. And if you can’t, you’re in the wrong marriage. If women were free to leave Republican husbands without fear of harm, red-cap affiliation would be a more telling demographic for social isolation and lonliness than it already is.

Crazy I was about to say the same thing!

Hugely influential in turning the GOP from “Side of politics we can debate and respectfully disagree with” to “Completely unhinged violent movement based on panic, hatred, and intellectual brain rot.”

He’s basically described like some bygone disaster and yet he’s still kickin’. Holy crap.

There’s a cozy spot in whatever hell right next to Kissinger for this vile beast. Another spot beside it waiting to be filled is likely labeled “Murdoch.”

We’ve had a GE fridge that’s probably older than about 10 years. But you know, it’s complicated enough that it feels like it’s made to fail at some point.

Well, stuff stopped cooling but all the lights were on and everything else worked. It was really weird. We were thinking it might be a dead compressor or something. Crap, do we need a new fridge?

Nope! What basically amounts to a glorified computer fan with a fancier proprietary plug does all the work of distributing that cold air through the rest of the unit.

The proprietary plug is totally so they can sell it for $45, of course. Lol anyway, works like new!

Also get a dust mask and vacuum + blow out the back of your refrigerators, people. They get grooooss!!!

You’ve hear of fever dreams but this here buddy had a freezer dream.

HOW DID I KNOW 😂

This is definitely a thing!!

We’re using Linux so we just assume it’s some highly technical issue right off the bat lol. This has caught me a few times. 😂

Once I manually deleted a snapshot folder because I didn’t see it listed, and thought it was “orphaned” and just taking up space. :D

“SUDO THAT SUCKER!!” 👉

OS says “Okie dokie boss.”

Suddenly none of my commands are working.

Turns out I deleted the currently mounted active snapshot . Safe to say it was reinstall time.

Don’t go manually touching system files, folks. 😂

I used to dual-boot and use my Win10 for gaming.

But in the middle of Vermintide 2 I kept getting BAD BSoDs seemingly at random! None of the typical steps seemed to help. Probably something NVIDIA related I dunno.

I was gonna “refresh this system” and all Windows told me after “We’re getting this ready.” was: “Can’t. Dunno why. Sorry.”

But hey, switching over to my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed install made the game play really smooth, and no crashes! And soon, I discovered it ran all my other games just fine or even better as well!

I haven’t touched that Win10 install in ages, and will probably drop it in favor of VMing it really soon.

The only real holdout is that my VR headset is WMR. That really sucks. :(

That is painful. It’ll work SO WELL on a bunch of systems but sometimes someone has a particular config that’ll throw monkey-wrenches all over. It always feels like the most rotten luck being on the other end of that huh? :(

“Linux users are elitist jerks”

Elitist jerks are elitist jerks. Ever talked to a stuck-up Windows I.T admin? The constant scoffing is unreal.

What about people rich (or financially goofy) enough to obsess with Apple products?

I think most community people regardless of OS just wanna be helpful and enthusiastic. (I like the word “enthusiast” haha) You’ll always find elitists around topics that involve learning skills and mastery.

I dunno, I’m just happy sometimes people care here when I enthusiastically ramble to them about all their Linux-y choices they can solve problems with lol. We’re not all like that.

Jerks just stick out more. Don’t let them tint your opinion of an entire community. I managed to even enjoy ranked League of Legends for a short while because I didn’t assume everyone was out to attack my ego with theirs.

Hope you have an awesome one and let us know if we can help you with anything. :)

Absolutely. It feels like there’d be relevant data to trace it back to them somehow, even though these types can be obsessively good at covering their tracks. There will be slip-ups somewhere.

“But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my, family, in your head, in your head, they are fighting, with their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns, in your head, they are crying.”

Really bummed your experience has been like that! :(

In my humble experience, I’ve gotten almost everything new and old to run via Steam, or my GoG games to run via Heroic. Vermintide 2, Metro: Exodus, Enter the Gungeon, X-COM 2, BattleTech, MechWarrior 5, I even got old stuff like Sims 2 working flawlessly via Bottles.

Trying to install stuff like you would on Windows by running installers manually seems to not be so great though…could that have been it perhaps?

Using front-ends that manage Proton / WINE for you makes the process so much easier.

I ditched Windows entirely because Vermintide kept BSODing my Win10 install, and it wouldn’t even let me “refresh” the OS. Fully doing work and play on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed these days and the only thing I’m REALLY missing is VR.

Or in his verbiage:

“SAD.”
