Jackie's Fridge

“Gender confusion?” You mean like the kid who can’t ask anyone in his life why he’s attracted to boys and not girls? Or the kid who constantly feels like she’s in a stolen, ill-fitting body and scares herself every time she looks in the mirror and a boy stares back?

You’d think books would be a sensible, non-judgemental way to find answers without painting a target on your back.

But that’s the real point of all this, isn’t it?

So what exactly does he do that’s worth $300,000/hr? Or let’s say he works 10 hours a day, 7 days a week for the whole year (and you know he does not), $190,000/hr?

Yup. The one thing I tell Linux-curious friends is that you will install the distro of your choice, spend a week and a half on random forums digging up random commands to get everything working properly, and then you should be good.

Is Chicago pizza not just lasagna with crust?

Literally ask someone which switch it is. Then ask them what idiot wired them up that way

Utopia Must Fall is a delightful Missile Command style game that finally runs on the Deck (it didn’t when I bought it). Lots of old school fun.

If you’re not averse to writing & getting creative, there are some interesting ideas on this list. There are also a lot of creators publishing solo physical tabletop RPGs on itch.io and it’s always fun supporting indie game developers

I also have to use it for work. I don’t know if it’s Adobe, or Windows 11, or a toxic combination of both, but not a single day goes by where I can just create without things randomly breaking. Illustrator stops letting me drag with the direct selection tool. Premiere switches to hotkeys as I’m typing text. InDesign…actually InDesign has been behaving.

But literally all the other Adobe apps will break AS I’M USING THEM - like, an action I’ve literally just done suddenly doesn’t work or glitches out. A couple weeks ago Premiere and Photoshop would literally crash on open. The day before they were both fine.

I have Gimp, Inkscape, and KdenLive installed just in case.

Maybe Canada, but the US is ruining them too

I’d love to say I solved that for myself by not having kids, but I just found other sources of stress.

Seriously. USA is like the generic video game starter character before anyone’s had a chance to customise it and level up. At all. And I say that as someone who lives here.

Yes, yes, yes, of course he will, and I think the new outrage is that he is literally only disclosing the stuff he gets caught on, which begs the question, exactly how deep does his corruption run - not to mention the other “justices” (ahemcoughALITOcough)

Women raising their voices makes Pence wet himself in fear (or possibly joy) so that’s probably not a good metric.

Another vote for the T480. I have a T480s running Mint and it’s been lovely. No driver issues and for office/light media creation/consumption it seems to work without a hitch.

Same, but I always read it in Nandor’s voice from What We Do in the Shadows

Yeah he tried getting into business but when that didn’t work out he started yelling at clouds.

The Former Guy. He was in Home Alone, starred in some reality show and sold steaks for a while.

Exactly - I started noticing prideful ignorance in the early 2010s. People around me made bad choices and would not be corrected. Their ignorance was just as valid as someone else’s actual knowledge. That’s when, strengthened by their own baseless pride, their shame disappeared. I’m not saying shame is good, but when it’s the only thing keeping the deplorables in check, maybe a little of it helps.

It used to be that I’m general, horrible people realised they were horrible and at least went through the motions of being decent. They were like cockroaches scurrying for the shadows when you turned on the light. Now they’re like a cat peeing on your bed - they pause long enough to lock eyes with you, then continue peeing.

Speaking optimistically, at least now we know exactly who they are.
