And here I was thinking I was still decent at math. I got bamboozled...

D&D players aren't satanists. They're much worse. They're math addicts.

Federal government threatened Telegram and demanded a backdoor a while back, iirc.

Not to mention it actually does happen by birth very rarely. Latent genetic traits can pop up generations later.

So that's what it means to think outside the box. I've always wondered.

My gf still uses the toilet paper roll/dryer sheet trick. The whole apartment smokes, but she likes to be discreet and respectful. She used to also burn incense, but I think the massive amount of incense she's burned during our time together has made me allergic. Every time I'm near one my throat gets narrow, my eyes water, and I can't stop coughing.

About a week ago I forgot my pipe so I took my brother-in-law's knife, dented a beer can, and stuck holes in it. Gen Z can hit that pen all they want, but I'll be the one still getting high when the apocalypse hits. These are not tricks. These are key survival tactics.

The year of the Linux Desktop is closer than we think. Too bad the art of just owning a PC is sort of dying, thanks to GPUs costing just as much as the rest of the parts put together.

I've been trying to get my stepmom to switch over to Mint on her old Dell AIO. I already spun up the live on it to see if it was compatible and it ran flawlessly. She's just afraid to make the jump and I respect that.

Its good to see the younger generations just growing up with Linux readily available and easier than ever to install.

As an average desktop user, I've run into very little pushback on Wayland. Its made huge leaps in a short amount of time.

Yeah, I'm fucking over this clown. Every tech hobby I have is not American made, nor will it ever be, because some materials need to be imported even if they want it to be American made.

We're on a one track train to the dark ages...

Before you own cats: "Oh no, cat claws are scary!"

After you own cats: "Yes, this is day 4 of my baby giving me clawed arm hugs and gnawing on my fingers. Yes, I know I'm bleeding."

I use Krita, Aseprite, and Gimp. I must say, though, I'm loving Gimp 3. Now if we could just push past the proprietary docx plugins bullshit and make odf industry standard...

Edit: Ah, shoot. I forgot Inkscape for vector art. Shame on me... I love Inkscape.

My neighbor has an indoor cat that spends all day getting into the highest spots he can find. This is his hobby. I've watched him get down from on top of the high-hung cupboards and the way he did it... it was like the whole apartment was his planet fitness. They all called him fat, because at first glance, sure you could say that.

He got down to come see me when I first visited and I was 100% sure that I never wanted to mess with this cat. It was like patting a fuzzy wall. He is not fat. Bro is built like a tank. He's literally V shaped. He's survived years with three pitbull dogs that like to chase him and try to use him as a toy. Out of all the animals there, that is the scariest one. That's what happens when your cat uses ALL the protein in that food for gainz.

I pointed this out to one of the neighbors and the look on their faces as they realized I was right.
