Dude, "boring" is what I want from an OS. No surprises. No sudden changes. I'm 40.
As someone considering Win to Mint, why do people keep saying it's basic? What would I be missing? I need the computer for playing games, some hobby media work, internet.
You do you. But it may have an impact on people looking at your profile. As people in this thread write. But on the other hand you might also attract the attention of someone who is more on the same wavelength as you. It's up to you to weigh the pros and cons. Do you want to fit in with the inexpressive, professional corporate tone, or do you want to add a bit of color? You can't please everyone anyway, but it might serve your interests to conform to the expectations of people you DO want to please.
(I'd do it, even though I normally don't use that many emojis. But I know it annoys some people way more than makes sense by any degree so that's a good reason UwU)
Not what I said. I moved my attention to your post instantly. Then I sustained attention to reply.
Ohhhhhhhhh..... I know what you mean and I got shivers from the thought.
Rollercoaster of emotions. I'm imagining how it would actually feel like if there was a sensation of fuzziness. And if magically it wouldn't get clumpy from dirty and oil. In some ways I'd really hate it but I also kinda love that I hate it.
Pussyfooting on ice is understandable tho.
Opinion of an expert is worth more than the opinions of non-experts.
The struggle is real.
You don't know that anyone who responds this way actually thinks this. There are a limited amount of ways to communicate that they're not interested and over-explaining and hedging their niceness would also just backfire. They gave exactly as much explanation as needed. It may come off a bit stiff because the tone is neutral (and they only use "I" sentences - speaking only what they know to be true instead of projecting with "you" sentences).
You may want more validation and that's fine. But nobody owes it to you. You say "they just immediately assume I’m some kind of monster" - but you could be doing the same thing in assuming their motivations when they only speak neutrally.
Not that I ever cared for Punisher but I did read a comic or two as a kid and man.... "Punisher on Disney" sounds so very wrong.
