Personally, these are the reasons I try to stick with just stuff people post of themselves because they like to. That generally means i only see pics and short videos, but that’s all fine to me.

Some may be advertising their only fans, so there’s some minor guilt like only taking free samples, but still feels better than worrying about the industry in general.

Joke is flying over my head. Which age group shits poorly?

It’s more a comment on the current American interpretation of Jesus, especially those on billboards etc. There’s no real abortion hatred in the Bible either; people usually just use the scripture about god knowing them in the womb, despite a supposed abortion remedy being in the Bible, or Exodus 21:22-24 where the baby dying is only a fine but any damage to the pregnant woman is repaid in kind (eye for eye, tooth for tooth, death for death).

Hmm, the only time I learned about false cognates was when learning high school Spanish, so I assumed it meant two words that sound similar in different languages but have different meanings, rather than homonyms in the same language.

Example: embarrassed and embarazado

Looking the above example up for spelling, I see it’s called a false friend, and perhaps I misunderstood false cognate (from here https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#false_cognate ) :

false cognate
A word in a language that bears a phonetic and semantic resemblance to a word in another or the same language but is not etymologically related to it and thus not a true cognate. Examples include English day/Portuguese dia, German Feuer/French feu (both meaning “fire”), Malay dua/Sanskrit द्व (dva) (both meaning “two”), and English dog/Mbabaram dog. Compare false friend.

false friend
A word in a language that bears a phonetic resemblance to a word in another language, often because of a common etymology, but has a different meaning. Examples include English parent/Portuguese parente (“relative”) and English embarrassed/Spanish embarazada (“pregnant”). Compare false cognate.

Wait… I remember this from a webcomic… but can’t remember which…

Ex police officer arrested (though not prosecuted, still held for more than a month) because he quoted Trump after Charlie Kirk got involved with a projectile.

Dogs can also rip out throats, but the actual occurrences are rare. I think that’s what they’re saying. Deer definitely can do it too, which you said in another post is that your understanding is that Kangaroos are more violent. Which, are they? Or is that just your impression of a foreign animal you’ve only heard newsworthy stuff about as opposed to animals you regularly encounter in your home country?

Well, they often think they are.

Closer to $12 at current exchange, and a cursory search suggests some popular magazines are 1500yen per issue, so doesn’t actually seem that off.

At the moment biking, but i wouldn’t say that stops booboo. I’ve flipped over the bike twice, each time damaging a different wrist (first one was when bike was new and a part wasn’t as tight as it needed to be, so handlebars gave way braking down a hill. Second time anyway overly friendly dog leapt at me. As I lay on the ground it came over and licked me).

I generally still heal kinda well nowadays though, so first wrist is back to normal and second is like 90%, only pain when specific weight and angles are involved.

I want to get back into bouldering too, but that can also give injuries.

I’ve wanted the buds, so no phone and just the XL is very disappointing. I might buy it if I have extra cash and the price is right, but I’m kinds fine with my current over the ear headphones. Good ear buds or the phone itself is far more in my interest.

I hadn’t looked up what she looked like. Isn’t that Misa from Death Note, mentally ill homicidal stalker?

Then he whispers “keikaku doori…”

Some do until they don’t. I was a pretty devout convinced JW into my 30s, with the few doubts I had (I never hated gay people, but still bought the “it’s not a sin to be gay, it’s a sin to act on it” line) being suppressed by my assuming God knew better than me or that since God made the earth he gets to make the rules.

I also enjoyed science but kept brainwashing myself to allow for science and the creation belief (not young earth, maybe dinosaurs were just a preparatory stage, maybe God guided evolution, etc), but eventually a joke on Futurama mocked the moving goalposts of missing link arguments and it kinda broke the floodgates.

This man is experiencing personal issues that affect him directly, which makes it harder to rationalize away. It’s how some people leave stuff like religion: a bad thing happens to them personally and God in no way helps, so the doubts start breaking through the stubbornness.

Man, people out here just lying what they feel like before doing a basic search. I have dumb ideas in my head from time to time too, but I look em up to see if I didn’t just hear something wrong first.

I do have an edge there as I’m actually pretty technically inclined (I do tech support for living, and at the risk of sounding like touting my own horn, I’m high up the escalation path for my company). So partitions and stuff are common things I work with, and this isn’t nearly my first brush with Linux. It’s just more getting games and a bunch of small unique software working is somewhat different from working with business servers where you have either stricter policies on what gets installed or vendor backup if necessary.

Still, much of my actual work involves solving issues by looking up errors and symptoms, so figuring out the issues here aren’t that hard for me either. While I do appreciate the GUI making it an easy switch from Windows, I’m no stranger to CLI either and feel quite comfortable using it, and documentation for a lot of what I’ve messed with so far has been pretty easy to find and follow.

As for my plans, I’ll probably eventually limit NTFS to one 1tb drive, or maybe do what you said and repetition it down to maybe 500gb, and hopefully most of what I do will be in Linux. I am the type to force myself to learn by force, so I haven’t actually booted back into Windows except for an issue where I couldn’t delete the NTFS partition from Linux. And I’ll probably hardly boot into Windows going forward either.

I joined that group today, but it wasn’t necessarily this support thing. I hated Windows update most of the time anyway. Mostly I just needed to buy a new SSD so I could dual boot, which will allow me to transition at my own pace while getting comfortable. I bought a cheap 500gb Saturday.

The other issue is my version of decision paralysis on choosing a distro, which generally is paralysis up until I suddenly just bite the bullet. I went with Nobara since it looked easiest to support my hardware and get into my games quickly.

So far I’ve gotten FFXIV, Warframe, and Enshouded running the way I want, and am slowly downloading my other current games. I have to keep a 200mpbs download limit because I’m working too. I also wiped one of my 2tb drives that mostly had games I was planning to play soon or just started playing to make it exFAT. I’ll probably eventually convert the others but may need to buy another 2tb drive for transfers if needed.

Update: exFAT gave me issues with another game so I ended up just making it a btrfs drive.

There are 3 colors on the avocado parts, a deeper green, a lighter yellowish green, and a light brownish part, which is consistent with avocado cuts and oxidization.

Definitely avocado; cucumber doesn’t have that color gradient but avocados do.

That happened once!
