Wasn’t “woke” originally a good term until right wing screechers took it over at an insult? They do that a lot, every time some positive phrase or idea starts to gain traction. Seems intentional.

Oh. Makes sense. To be honest, I really didn’t care enough to bother checking their profile or any other comments. Just saw the response today and wanted to try and offer some sort of olive branch or something. idk

So, let me unpack what happened, from my point of view. I’m not complaining or anything, just pointing out how it seemed from my end.

I made a comment that I personally didn’t like the show because of how many times people around kept saying I was like the main character.

You replied directly to me implying that nerds should like the show because it normalizes dating them. (Which I agree is a good thing.)

I replied to say that doesn’t apply to me, and I’m not sure why it was relevant to my comment.

Finally, you left a comment to call me names.

Do you see how that entire interaction makes no sense from my side of things? I said that I didn’t like a show, and you inserted yourself into the conversation to complain that hot women should want to date me because of the show. Then, when I said that had nothing to do with what I was saying, you insulted me.

So, like, why?

…I don’t want to date women, so I know know how that’s relevant.

“It’s so funny! Sheldon reminds me of you!”

Yeah, never watched it, but heard this enough to hate the show with a passion.

Sitcom of chimps in the big city running a shady laundromat.

For those who don’t know, In the US, the two political parties basically switched sides at one point. I only skimmed, but here’s an article about it:

But I’d rather look at what modern people are doing and saying, than muse about what older generations would have wanted or done.

Glad it’s working! Thanks for the follow-up, for anyone who runs into the same issue in the future.

This won’t help you recover during a freeze or crash, but it may help find the cause…maybe.

Try running Steam from a terminal, and see if the game gives any output when crashing. I’d put the game in window mode so I can see the terminal and the game at the same time, in-case you lose control over the system. See if the terminal shows any errors.

Usually, when my computer starts to freeze up, it’s because the disk IO is saturated. I moved my Steam library to a different drive than my OS, and that hasn’t happened since. The interface really shouldn’t freeze just because the drive is busy, but that’s what I did to fix it. Don’t know if it’s a GNOME 3 problem, a Fedora problem, or something else.

I haven’t bought a printer in years, but had to service a crappy one for work. I’m very interested in this ink bottle refill type of printer. That honestly sounds perfect. Didn’t know it was a thing. Thank you.

I’m sorry, I was going to reply, but my printer had a forced update and then detected an unauthorized cyan cartridge from a third party, shut down, and called the police to arrest me for violating HP’s terms of servitude, er “service”.

No my friend, our overloads have decided that you shouldn’t have control over your desktop either.

“The viewers are mad because of something you did or said, so we’re cancelling your show on our network.”

“Hey everyone on this forum, let’s all dox this person and send anonymous hate mail to their actual home.”

I wonder if newer AI models are going to have to learn what “AI Generated” is supposed to look like, and how ironic it would be it they had to output worse quality in order for people to accept it was AI generated. Maybe “Gen[1/2/3/4]_AI” would be better, like how we have console generations and stuff.

…squeeze your meat?

I guess that does make me happy.

I try to avoid being conspiracy minded, but I can’t help but wonder why. Does the US have some sort of wartime ally obligation or something? Is there a nuclear risk or treat to the other side winning? What is going on?

We might never know.

And for the record, you can criticize a political party or government without thinking the citizens or their cultural identities are bad. It’s maddening that people have to be reminded of this. My country does bad shit, but I don’t think every person I meet is evil.

I never cared for the guy, but I voted for him because it clearly was the better choice at time. It might be all for popularity, but that doesn’t change the fact that his administration has been making some good strides he toward fixing our broken system.

I’ll take good things done with ulterior motives over bad things done for their own sake, every day.

What is a “tankie”? I’ve never heard of that before.

Am missing something about my chosen-on-a-whim instance?
