My mother in law who’s a staunch Republican told my husband that she shouldn’t have to learn anything new at her age. This is the type of people we’re dealing with. They are willfully and spitefully ignorant.

"Only thing stopping them from sending hired thugs to your house to shake the change out your pockets is the law. "

This is how I feel about ads. Ads are legal psychological warfare with the sole aim of stealing your money.

I recently bought the Cat Quest trilogy. I played the first two on my switch but the third one just came out and Steam did the whole bundle at a discount so I snagged it. Been enjoying replaying the first two before I start on the new one.

I don’t know why this amuses me as much as it does. It’s deliciously ridiculous.

I find this so hard to believe. Like how does anyone live in Virginia and not know where Richmond is? I-95 literally runs through the city cutting it in half. If you can find the interstate you will find Richmond. Source: born and bred Richmonder.

I’m torn about this because I have good mentors but I genuinely want to try to learn how to code and not just have the answers given to me right away. At least I’m only working on volunteer project so being slow isn’t really holding anyone else up.

I had no idea this was a thing. Super interesting, thanks for sharing!

American here. I love the German meme communities if even I don’t always understand the joke. Thanks for letting us know how you guys are doing and I hope everyone lands safely in the new server.

I didn’t even know this was coming. I’m beyond excited.

I’m using mine almost exclusively now. My PS4 is dying and I don’t want a PS5 so I’m currently buying my favorite games from that system in steam. Occasionally I’ll co-op game on the Xbox with my husband and I’ll pick up my switch whenever I get the itch to play animal crossing. But truthfully my vision is getting worse as I get older so the steam deck has become my favorite. My only regret is not getting the version with bigger storage. I haven’t tried streaming games from my PC yet but that’s my only option right now for larger games like Forza.

I agree. The same thing with the words idiot and moron. I find the whole evolution and usage of words to be fascinating.

I really do think about this from time to time as to why we ever even used this word. I grew up the same as you where we all said it and used it as a replacement word for “ass” in situations where cussing wasn’t allowed but you needed a word that hit a bit harder than calling someone stupid. I can’t ever remember a time anyone I knew using it as a slur because someone would beat your ass if you got caught bullying anyone disabled. Now that I know that it is offensive I don’t use it. But for me it’s a bit weird fully relating to the current perception of the word in today’s society because I still have mostly positive memories of goofing off with friends associated with it.

This is good to know. I want to put Mint on my laptop but I do like the look of steamdeck desktop too.

If it makes you feel better I love junk flyers because it’s free bird cage liners for me. And the nicer quality the paper the easier it is to clean up after my birds. I’ve actually had friends save their junk mail for me.

If you can find a copy I would suggest the first Sly Cooper game.

American here, the gas station is our version of the local corner store. Most places you have to drive to get to it but where I live there is one right at the entrance to the neighborhood and lots of adults/kids do walk there. I would sorely miss it if it was gone.

Huh, I knew of the term from car communities (Civics for life) but I never put two and two together when thinking about it being used in the Linux community. TIL thanks.

Something I learned taking college microbiology was that if you reuse towels for drying off make sure one end (like the end with the tag) is dedicated for your bottom half and the other for the top. That way you don’t accidentally get your genital flora in your eyes/face.

Birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off by Teflon and will die. So no Teflon anything in the house.

I have parrots so no telfon anything in my house. Bought two Green Pan ceramic skillets fairly cheap and they are still going strong a decade later. Definitely don’t use metal utensils in them.
