I don’t think you understand my point.

Let’s break this down by making up a hypothetical sexual history for the woman in question:

Guy 1 - Committed relationship, waited 3 months

Guy 2 - Casual fling, no waiting

Guy 3 - Committed relationship, waited 2 date

Guy 4 - Casual relationship, no waiting

Guy 5 - Hookup, no waiting

If, now that she’s seeing guy 6, she magically decides it’s time to be responsible and wait for a while. Any guy that has self respect isn’t going to tolerate that. Why is this new guy so different than than the previous ones? Why does she make him wait, but none of the previous men?

Anyone is going to figure that she is 1. Not attracted to him and is settling down after having fun to secure stability, or 2. Has cognitive dissonance about her past. A guy not accepting that and being skeptical of her intentions or level of honesty is fully justified.

And for the record, I apply my principles evenly between men and women. Casual sex is disgusting and a long sexual history is a sign of impulsive, irresponsible behavior or placing no value on your body or relationships. Man or woman.

Men don’t go for that because she didn’t make previous guys wait until marriage.

Making rules for those you “settle” for that did not previously apply is egregious hypocrisy.

I recommend arch to a first time user…once. because he said he wanted to have Linux as a new hobby of sorts. Everyone else I recommend Pop! Or Fedora most of the time.

Tried to use Manjaro at some point. What a horrible distribution.

Socialism is when people use tools to help complete a task?

When I inevitably move away from Google, YouTube will be the last thing that remains. I use it a lot, and there is absolutely no sufficient replacement.

If Hitler enjoyed eating pretzels, am I no longer allowed to enjoy a pretzel without being a Nazi?

What a pants on head stupid take.

I’ve never understood the popularity of FFDP. “War is the Answer” is their best album by a heavy margin and it’s just… Fine? Like it’s listenable, I can listen to it without being bored. At the end of the day it makes me wish I was listening to Avenged Sevenfold, Shinedown, or Killswitch Engage.

But the rest of their music is unbelievably boring. Their covers of other people’s music is their best work, probably because they can’t write interesting music.

In the case of movies like the Star Wars sequels, because the directors and producers sniff their own farts and don’t realize their movies are terrible.

Fedora KDE. Just be sure to enable 3rd party repos (very easy and quick job, just a google search away).

KDE. I don’t have to change anything (other than taskbars on all monitors rather than just the main one) for an experience I like. Everything just works. Wayland support is best in class.

I don’t like gnome’s workflow and it takes COSMIC level customization for me to like it. And technical issues are common for me. Namely windows constantly spawning off screen and delayed reactions.

XFCE’s default layout is absolutely horrible and there’s no Wayland support. Mint XFCE’s implementation is good though.

Cinnamon, in my experience, is buggy and has similar technical problems to gnome.

I’ve used i3wm and it’s okay, but I would never use it on my main desktop. Takes a certain kind of workflow.

I’ve messed with AwesomeWM and can say it’s very ok.

LXDE/LXQT are obsolete. Not old school, obsolete. And in the case of QT, there’s absolutely no reason to use it when XFCE has the same ram usage anyway.

I haven’t used any other desktops other than these.

We don’t have sufficient political will to use the sun. This hopefully provides an alternative.

Thanks for doing what you do.

“Dividing the community” lol. Anti-work is a horrible name.

I’ve already paid with my data.

Want me to pay for a service (something I’m happy to do)? No ads and no selling of my data.

And no one uses it. The last time I used mumble was over a decade ago and its use was short lived.

Java is a hilariously bad platform for games.

Piracy is always good

It’s absolutely not. Use archinstall. The hardest part is preparing for breakages when you update.

Mint is considered the new standard for “it just works”, but I had nothing but problems on my desktop with mint.
