This is a really good perspective too!

It is indeed!

I would abolish toilets without bidets. You would be legally required to have a bidet in all bathrooms, private and public. Worldwide!

They’re all great, I lol’d

It’s always easier said than done!

All my life, I’ve watched the US slide. But it’s crazy it’s falling apart right now. Seems surreal for some reason.

I care about Americans and America. There are many good people, who care about me, and us. They deserve to thrive in a secure, prosperous country. I don’t want to discount a nation just because of the idiots.

I love the African philosophy of ubuntu: ‘I am who I am, because of who we all are’

Looks like Kim Jong Un in his profile pic

I can tell the future based on what color of shirt I wear. If I wear a white shirt, I know I will probably eat spaghetti or pizza that day.

It’s funny but it hurts

Think of how much more efficient things will run! /s

Sometimes my mind goes dark places like nihilism, but deep down I think we should all be nice to each other.

Windows = Honda Civic Linux = Fixer-Upper Porsche

I really like this analogy! Makes me want to try again. I think I need a dedicated machine that will ONLY be for Linux, so I can build some troubleshooting ability and learn how to set up all the things I need. I really want that Linux Porsche lifestyle!!

I’ve tried to switch to Linux multiple times since 2008. Usually Ubuntu. I’ve even tried Linux Mint. I can never commit to the switch, I always get buggy behavior, crashes, hardware incompatibility, lack of apps (FL Studio, Adobe, WeChat for PC, etc). There are also dozens of tiny issues, like the sensitivity of the mouse/scroll wheel that feels different from Windows, even after adjusting the relevant settings. Also, for volume adjusting, the volume slider doesn’t make a sound when you change the volume level, unlike on Windows. How is it that not a single Linux distro includes this functionality? I am totally comfortable working in a Terminal if I have to, but every time I follow a terminal walkthrough I get errors; I search the error messages online and I get reading threads talking about bugs that are a decade old, there is never a solution. I am so jealous of people who can immerse themselves in Linux, I just can’t do it. I need my stuff to work out of the box, and for 15 years and many attempts to switch, it has never been the case. I can’t tell if I’m not smart enough, or I just rely too heavily on proprietary software, or I don’t want to dedicate the time to manually fixing problems with terminal commands and scripts.
