Because he specifically argued in his divorce that he suffers cognitive impairment and therefore he projects less future earnings. So he himself basically argued he is not smart enough to earn even as much as the average guy.

So in his own words, he has a cognitive impairment that will not go away. Now either you trust his advice (which assumes it’s good advice, and kinda goes against him saying under oath he will have cognitive impairment) or you think he was saying the truth under oath and now his advice is not worth too much.

Basically you have to decide which version of his you wanna trust. And if I have to decide between “he is dumb” or “he lied under oath”, I know one thing for sure - and that is to be very skeptical of anything he says.

Have a hard time believing our fellow lemmings voted for the trumpet, so it’s not really on them.

Damn COD out here making 3 games per generation meanwhile Warframe still being brought to new consoles after 15y

Have you considered that most people like an accurate reflection of how people think about your opinion? They don’t want you to shut up, they want you to understand your opinion is unpopular and confront you with that.

There’s a big difference between an opinion that’s unpopular and an opinion that’s actively damaging or inciting. One is worth a discussion, the other is actively stifling discussion in various ways.

I don’t think I agree if I read this correctly. I’ll specific as to how I understand it.

If I have opinion a, and that’s the majority opinion, and any other opinion gets censored, I think I’m fine with that. Hard disagree. I wanna expose myself to nuance and other opinions. Of course there’s a time and place when people hate you for nuance and specific opinions but censorship implies a legal framework and enforcement. Sure, there’s a lot of majority opinions I hold but I don’t want other opinions to get censored or punished on most topics. I wanna hear and learn new things.

Example of something I want censorship on: if someone just repeats NS dog whistles in a clear attempt to instigate, I think it might be good to censored them / punish them in some way. Not in a murderer way, but in a “do you know what you’re saying and can you grasp what it means?” way.

Example of something I don’t want censorship on: opinions political or societal systems. In fact I love discussing different ones, what they bring to the table, how they worked in practice and how they are bad so we can tweak them. On fact I invite people to tell me how capitalism itself is awesome, so we can discuss what we feel needs to be part of a healthy society and maybe we come up with novel ideas.

I guess if you wanna say “there’s some censorship that’s good” I might actually agree but that’s way more of a narrow statement than what you’re saying here.

So Bing Bong ended with a bang?

I apologize profusely for my bad taste in humor.

True

To add to the last point, for an inexperienced user (like me) pacman works almost exactly the same.

Just replace sudo apt install banana with sudo pacman -S banana

And replace sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade with sudo pacman -Syu

Edit: apparently the “-y” switch is a bad idea

I thought I had but I might try this again because if everything does work I’ll move in a heartbeat.

I use AI quite a bit for when I have to deal with something again that doesn’t have a simple documentation or stack overflow / reddit thread, and I know all too well I will never need agentic anything.

The one most useful AI for coding is supermaven, which is literally just auto complete plus but it doesn’t just do things, it works like any other tab completion.

Pretty sure no software dev at windows has ever really given these things a proper workout and still found them essential. Windows is really out here advertising Linux.

So true

I tried but there’s so many things that I need to be able to turn from bad to good in just a few clicks, and that’s basically irreplaceable for me rn.

I tried reaper and even if I learned it more thoroughly it would still result in 3x the time on every single process in song production, mix & master and that’s unacceptable for me.

Heard a lot about bitwig and that would probably be my preferred alternative but that unfortunately still leaves the issue of third party Plugins.

I’ve been trying to find a way to do this properly for quite a while now but I have yet to find a way to do this that’s sustainable long term.

Not trying to talk down your suggestions because I genuinely think they could work for others, just adding more information to why that’s unfortunately not enough for me to switch completely.

Btw for my servers and backup notebooks I already use lots of Linux. Anything not main driver kinda works perfectly with Linux and most of all it keeps on working when I need it. In fact I suspect my hardware will give in before the os and or software will pose any issues.

The more I look into trump the more I see someone with no introspection, incredibly low emotional intelligence and an extreme need for attention and acceptance. He is being profoundly primal in his goals but he goes to extreme lengths to preserve a way to them. This is why I completely agree with you. His goal is incredibly primitive: to keep being the center of attention. He knows he can’t keep all his avenues open because he is losing “loyalty” and supporters; in government but also in his voting populus. His goal will never be to specifically kill Americans but he sure as hell doesn’t mind risking their lives for other goals, and he will grip and claw to preserve as much power in government as he can, using basically every tactic under the sun.

At least that’s what I expect from him and that perfectly lines up with your overall feeling. It fucking sucks to see what we’re in for, but sometimes it’s nice to see how predictable he can be and sometimes knowing what will happen is better than absolute chaos, even when what will happen is generally bad.

Honestly right now there’s no way to use 90% of the industry standard audio plugins and most popular DAWs on Linux. FL Studio and Ableton do work on Linux but very unstable and as long as they’re not stable you can kinda skip the latency talk, because stability is quintessential. You are bound to native plugins and as long as alternatives are way harder to use and take longer to learn configure, there’s a massive overhead, not even talking about the ones that genuinely do not work even with wine and or winetricks, bottle, etc…

The same goes for video and photo editing as well as post effects. Although I have to admit you genuinely have more options and some setups even though not much more stable to technically work already.

Games are also annoying but I just don’t play valorant or battlefield 6 or any other games that are kind of incompatible by design, so if that was the only thing I could manage.

And lastly (but everyone knows), office compatibility is still an issue because sometimes I need to do something in Microsoft office to ensure it still works when I send it over.

Honestly the real deal breaker for me is the first paragraph. I currently mix & master a band and produce music by myself, with friends and do small audio jobs for other people. Gimme an environment I don’t have to pour another decade into and I’ll switch. In it’s current state I will not place a bet that if I give it my all things will still work when I need them to and that’s the bare minimum.

I mean romance is all feels and feels are hormones and hormones are science or something

Idk my mom always said something about ornithology and melittology.

Roblox is so fucked up, this would at least be “some” hurdle. It’s the worst way to go about it, but at this point it’s better than nothing. I just hope this will not become standard. You know, for privacy reasons.

I could see that water being “neutral” on taste for most people is probably evolutionary. But I’m just speculating.

I thought we were over this tough guy talk already.

You can live a depressing life where you tell yourself any emotion towards your current situation is not to be shown otherwise you are weak and you need to be strong.

Or you can also accept that life is complex, feelings are valid, we are social creatures, real mental health means being vulnerable and the strongest people are the ones that can be vulnerable.

You are complaining because people are vulnerable. You know what? That’s the most respectable shit, to talk about deep fears and strong feelings on camera, while those people know there’s some easily irritable people like you out there who “can’t stand the weak”.

I had so many opportunities in my life to become numb, choose to suck it up, never talk about things, maybe become violent or insane, but the hardest and most sensible choice was always to be vulnerable, and everyone who doesn’t have the guts to choose that is a different kind of weak. And because I am not like you I don’t hate weak people, I listen to them, I learn from them and help them improve likewise.

TL;DR that is one of the most ignorant takes I’ve heard in a while.

I mean it depends on what you wanna do.

Of course if you goal is to make money, drawing comics might be a very tedious way, but if you do it for fun (which I assume) then just do it.

As some people here have mentioned there might be better ways to go about your creation process regarding language, but make it fun first, and then you’ll gladly adapt to make it digestible (at least in my experience).

That’s why “influencer” was always so bizarre to me. They do influence, but kind of like everyone else that’s got a broader reach. Musicians, authors, politicians, and artists of all kinds influence. Even your own family and friends influence.

So technically I am an influencer. Just not to such a big degree.

And that also means everything that is ever recorded in any format will “manipulate” people. I mean hell, the Bible does that to an absurd degree. And if that’s good or bad is kind of just up for everyone to decide themselves.
