I should’ve known that. I love raising hope. Can’t believe I don’t remember this scene. Lol

What movie is this? Love them both so much

I prefer mine with rum

I mostly understand all that so far. My main question is why people get upset at folks who refer to it as gnu/Linux? I’ve seen a couple arguments about it on reddit, but I’m not sure how common it is for people to be actually upset, or if it’s more meme arguing. And I also I have no idea if I should say I use Linux or gnu/Linux since I use Fedora. Lol.

Don’t forget “too blessed to be depressed”= I think God will be angry with me if I admit life (read: murica) isn’t perfect

Can someone explain to me why people get upset about it being referred to as gnu+Linux or gnu/Linux? I’m not the most techy person, so maybe I’m missing something obvious, but like, objectively, isn’t it just as much gnu code as Linux?

Again, not super techy, so please explain it to me like I’m the average Facebook aunt.

My brother was born in 81, I was born in 91. It’s weird how we’re both considered 90s kids. Like, why that decade in particular seems so formative for so many. The 00s were my teenage years, and they did inform me as a person a lot, but when I think back on, like, the quintessential elements of my childhood, it’s the late 90s, pre 911. Same for my brother.

I haven’t worked night shift in 8 years, and I’m still tired all day and wake right the fuck at 11. Be careful, the allure of the night is a lasting one.

Night shift security was great for that conundrum

I always bring at least 4. Two for them to top, two for me to top, should we hit it off and have the time.

I generally don’t give a fuck. Lol. I wear what’s comfortable, and I don’t go for any particular aesthetic. But also, I have received plenty of compliments about things like my clothes or shoes, I meant in my comment about my actual physical body. Outside of immediate family (oh You’ve lost weight, et cetera) or sexual partners who enjoy a particular thing, I believe that is the only compliment I’ve ever gotten about a particular physical feature of my body.

A friend’s mom once told me I had beautiful eyes, and I have thought about it ever since. That was 20 years ago. I think it’s the only complimentary I’ve ever had on my physical appearance outside of immediate family. Compliments can feel super awkward to get sometimes, but they really are treasures.

Well, I know what my craft project for the weekend is! I’m gonna be making paw print art with my puppies!

When my cat died we got a plaster cast made of his paw prints, and it’s something very special and dear to us. I’d like to do something like this before tragedy strikes, so it isn’t so tinged with sadness.

Oh damn, that TV guide tip is genius! We used to handwrite on a post it and then cover it with packing tape to kind of laminate it.

My folks were also too cheap/broke to buy blank VHS tapes, so we used to get regular movies at yard sales and cover the little tab area with electrical tape. Lol.

To add on to the other explanations, and explain what, for some reason, no one seems willing to admit, torturing koroks is the number one game activity. The atrocities committed to these poor little golden-poop delivering seedlings is, frankly, appalling, and also great fun. YouTube korok torture for hours of mind-boggling horrors that really make you wonder if the human race is worth saving.

That’s clearly the abandoned love child of a fox and a wnba player.

When we first moved to Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads, VA, my mom almost wrecked the car when she saw a group of black squirrels. We’re not sure why it’s so fun to see them, they’re just squirrels that are black, but it’s always a treat.

I haven’t eaten a blanket in way too long… :/

I have a good friend whose wife drinks borax water every day. They spent just about everything they had on in vitro and lost the baby. I love them to death, and I’d never, ever suggest to them that something they did is why they lost the baby, but sometimes I genuinely wonder if it’s because she drinks borax. To clarify, I did tell them not to drink borax when they started, I’m just saying I wouldn’t specifically point out losing the baby with the borax connection.

I get the inclination to not trust things at face value, to do your own research, et cetera. Especially in the US, we’re bombarded with new meds we’re supposed to “ask our doctor about,” but there’s a pretty thick, fucking mile wide line between researching the meds you take and listening to Becky on tiktok and deciding to drink a literal poison that even the victorians knew probably wasn’t the best for you by the end of their run.

Y’all laugh, but I know how secretly good for me drinking lead-sweetened borax water is!
