Hey no problem, aren’t we all. That is an incredible username by the way.

Why would you take that away from my comment? I meant Rastafari is derived from Christianity and uses cannabis in groundings which is the closest parallel to the sacrament in other Christian sects.

Isn’t that basically Rastafari?

Debian, on servers and a desktop. I spent a long time using Ubuntu so I’m used to APT and Debian is suitably lightweight for my not amazing hardware. I also like the non rolling nature of it.

Yea when I said that I excel at Excel I was somewhat exaggerating, much as I have at every job interview I’ve ever had. It’s become something of a reflex these days. But as someone else has said I think that particular issue is just down to Excel being crap.

Excel, it wouldn’t be useful but I’d still be great at it.

Can we admit how completely fucked we are? Donald Trump is destroying the American economy and the American empire.

You. How fucked you are. Also if you believe in “the American empire” maybe you should be.

My country banned smoking in all public indoor spaces almost 20 years ago. As a smoker at the time I thought it was ridiculous, felt that my rights were being violated and thought it would never last. The quality of life improvement it made is massive. Today I vape rather than smoke but wouldn’t dream of doing either indoors or being where someone else is. It was 100% the right move. Not quite the same thing but you sometimes can’t really understand the benefits of an alternative to the status quo, even if you understand it logically.

Been 20 years exactly almost for an actual “concert”, like just seeing one or two bands. Travelling to a venue is expensive for me as I live in the middle of nowhere. Plus I don’t really have anyone to go with. I go to local gigs with my brother and his girlfriend once every month or two. They travel all over for concerts but I think I’d feel like a third wheel if I went with them, though I might tag along if it turns out they’re seeing a band I really want to at some point.

I went to some festivals in 2023, it feels easier to justify the cost of travel to see a bunch of bands over a whole weekend. Was actually going to go on my own but my brother came with before he got with his gf. Might actually do one on my own next year. Rebellion in Blackpool is great and indoors which is a big plus in the UK.

That would annoy me. I’m staying in a hotel at the moment where the TV can’t be turned off at the mains so the standby light is always on which is annoying the hell out of me.

A whole generation is going to get great at facial contour make up so they can watch porn.

Sorry to hear that. I also lost a friend to addiction who’s experiences with older men in her formative years were unfortunately quite negative, which sent her down the addiction spiral and made her seek out more experiences with older men. Those experiences and the addiction both, I believe, ultimately stemmed from her father’s actions. His own addiction and abusive, neglectful behaviour being a result of trauma in his early life. I can’t speak to your friend’s past of course but I imagine men and substances filled a hole in her own life likely left by a similar generational trauma and abuse cycle.

Girls I was at school with used to get picked up by guys in cars when they were like 12 and 13 so those guys were at least 17. At 17 I wouldn’t have wanted to hang out with a 12 or 13 year old girl.

I didn’t mean from the antenna me hartie 🏴‍☠️

There is no dab rig…

My TV already has a free TV button, it’s the on button.

What did the karma coins actually do? Never understood that part of Reddit.

Nowadays, everybody wanna talk like they got somethin’ to say

But nothin’ comes out when they move their lips Just a bunch of gibberish

And motherfuckers act like they forgot about beans

The spez protests led to a lot of people sharing alternatives on Reddit and when I heard there was an open source alternative, checked it out and saw posts about Linux and beans I knew I’d never go back.
