  • My mom put herself through nursing school by working at a nursing home. Once I was an adult she opened up about some of the stuff she saw, she said there was so much sex that they joked about installing a hose in the hall so they could separate patients when they caught them. When I asked her why they didn’t just look the other way and let them have their fun she said they actually did but the administrator was a hardcore Catholic and told them they were to separate them as soon as they were caught.

    2001, Dre’s album drops, nobody has it yet. In walks the kid who has a T1 line and a 5 disc CD copier with a spindle of discs. He sits down in homeroom, puts the spindle on his desk and says Dre’s new album five bucks right here.

    He sold out before the end of the day, made a good amount of cash, and was racking it in for months getting people albums that they requested because none of us could get it work with our slow connection. Of course when the two competing ISPs upgraded their networks later that year, he lost the majority of his business, but for a few months he was our pirate savior.

    I found Ubuntu to be a bit to foreign when transitioning from Windows, it was actually the first distro I tried. It has more of an old school Mac feel to me, and I just couldn’t get used to it. I get what you’re saying about the guides though, I do still get Ubuntu forums a lot when I forget to add + Linux Mint on the end of my searches.

    For me it was Ubuntu, then back to windows for a while, then ZoronOS for a while, then finally settling on Mint. I’ve tried a few other distros over the years but I keep coming back to Mint.

    Linux Mint, as someone who switched about 10 years ago it’s what I always recommend. I tried several distros, but mint has been my daily driver for the last 9 years.

    Also it’s set up similarly to Win 7, so it’s far more intuitive for a Windows user. And Mint seems to have the best documentation and community when you can’t figure something out.

    *And before anyone says anything, I’m speaking of the Debian based distros, I know REHL has some distros that also have great documentation and communities, I’m just a Debian guy so that’s what I’m comfortable speaking to.

    And this is why I stopped dating, after a series of emotionally abusive relationships I decided to take some time off to figure out why I keep being attracted to toxic women. I’ve been single for just over 10 years and I don’t have an answer but I have found comfort in being single.




  • The Dems don’t just need “brawlers” but they also need people willing to get dirty. If you know pro wrestling, Eddie Guerrero at one time had a gimmick that included the slogan “I lie, I cheat, I steal” that is the mindset democratic operatives have to get into and party members have to at least accept, if they want any chance of beating the GOP.

    The Dems don’t seem to understand that there is no bottom for how low the GOP will go, and that means they are going to have to get dirty and do and say things that will haunt them, but it will be for the good of the entire country and if they truly care about democracy and this country they will fall on that sword and dive head first into that mud pit.
