fuck it, where do i start? if spending a little bit of my time writing a css sheet results in Google losing market share i'm 1000% down.

chocosoldier ,

not at all, thank you!

chocosoldier ,

look im as stoked as anyone else but that information should really be in a section explaining it in detail further down the page, for Tyson, for Simpson, and even for Trump. Say who he is and what he did that's notable, not what the government did about it. it should say "fraudster" if anything, because that's who he is. i don't think labeling people vaguely as "felons" helps anything, and mostly serves to dehumanize people who have caught charges whether it was justified or not. that's just my two cents.

chocosoldier OP ,

been waiting over a decade, still janky. don't hold your breath.

chocosoldier OP ,

do what? look good while it chokes on itself? because i'd say unity did that even better.

chocosoldier OP ,

it's been the same buggy mess for as long as i've been using linux, always with the promise that the next update will take it from "neat tech demo" to "suitable permenant DE", i'm just really confused why it's the hot shit right now because my experience with the current release was literally identical to the first time i tried it way, way back on maverick meerkat. if i didn't know any better i'd say they changed the version number and nothing else.

chocosoldier OP ,

nobody likes a pedant

chocosoldier OP ,

i usually stick to debian flavors, i haven't had good experiences with arch

chocosoldier OP ,

i've had problems with every version i've installed on every distro i've installed it on since the mid '00s when i started using linux

chocosoldier OP ,

KDE feels like it's stuck in 2007 trying to be like vista

chocosoldier OP ,

see i hear things like this but when i install it's basically the same resource-hungry unstable mess as it was the first time i checked it out over a decade ago. i figured maybe it's me and tried some distros that come with it preinstalled and it's not any different. are you running a supercomputer or what?

chocosoldier OP ,

literally using the point and click interface to customize the layout and run programs normally

chocosoldier OP ,

now it's my turn to go "yeah it's ugly as sin but i've never had a single issue with it".

chocosoldier OP ,

idk man, when the distro has kde out of the box and it's still a dumpster fire from the first boot idk how that's on me

chocosoldier OP ,

nice assumption. i'm a brokeass who typically runs hand-me-down hardware, stable all day.

also that copyright license is hilarious, you know it's the neckbeard equivalent of posting "i do not consent to my data being collected" as your fb status right? or are you going to take a giant company to court for copying your nerd insult from lemmy?

chocosoldier OP ,

integrated intel graphics, actually. some people are poor you know. though back in the day when i had a 390 it failed to impress then as well. what a weird association to make.

chocosoldier OP ,

versatile

sure. idk about "the most", i haven't seen it do anything that other DMs can't do with some tinkering. hell just installing cairo-dock yields a very similar ui experience imo.

usable

i can't agree, my experience is things not staying where i put them, random crashes, layout and themes not "sticking" between logins, and occasionally the entire session crashing - all this from a fresh install on an untinkered-with system, and it's been a consistent experience through the years. maybe you're luckier than i am?

best applications

i never met an application i wanted to run that i couldn't because i had the wrong DE. what are you talking about?

chocosoldier OP ,

that's not special

chocosoldier ,

the "have an app-y day" makes me irrationally angry

chocosoldier ,

she ran out of Earthsea to rip off and she has nothing else

chocosoldier OP ,

cowardice isn't manly

chocosoldier OP ,

i didn't make it, but my read on it was as a critique of male-gendered products go over the top injecting "masculinity" into their branding. they do mention the pink tax ("20% cheaper for no reason!"), i don't know that reactionaries would include something like that. Either way, I agree wholeheartedly that tampons for men who need them should be normalized.

chocosoldier ,

it clicked pretty quickly when i finally went and looked it up online, and played a bit with a standalone browser version i found. the in game explanation just isn't very good.

chocosoldier ,

Terrific advice in this thread, definitely start on flat ground (hell i started off practicing ollies in the grass) and wear helmet/pads (some people might give you shit about these; those people are idiots), BUT:

You absolutely will eat shit from time to time, and you have to accept this and be ready for it. I must have tumbled down the side of the bowl 50 times before I finally dropped in successfully, and it was worth every scrape and bruise.

Someone else said "learn to fall." I'll go one further and say if you have the means to do so then take a judo or parkour class - they will teach you how to minimize injury when you hit the ground.

Also, it's not a terrible idea to walk an area before you skate it, and note large cracks/gaps in the sidewalk, scattered bits of gravel, etc. so it isn't a suprise when/if you run over them.

chocosoldier , (edited )

it's because (in the US at least) the "Skinhead" subculture has been colonized by neo-nazis to such an extent that they're basically synonymous. also falling back on pedantries like "I'm not a nazi because I'm not a member of the german national socialist party" is how nazis try to deflect people calling them out.

edit: just realized you said it was /r/bald... very strange that people on /r/bald would start calling someone a nazi for having a shaved head. i think you got called a nazi for something else, and the content of this comment makes me think they were right.

e2: account is 10 days old, refers to women as "females", and likes to whine about anti-white racism. tag appropriately

e3: a reddit account with the same username exists, but they've had a bot overwrite their comment history with gibberish. can't find shit from them posted to /r/bald, so it looks like that's just an out and out lie. why would you tell on yourself this hard?

chocosoldier OP ,

"MLK envisioned a post-racism society in a speech once and I don't know a single other thing about him, so we should ignore racism entirely and never, ever work to counter it"

chocosoldier OP ,

oh look a full on closet white supremacist. nice, thanks for telling on yourself.

chocosoldier ,

I hope Nightface found his asylum.

chocosoldier ,

switch to my Furoticon (link NSFW!) deck, of course.

chocosoldier ,

i grew up in a rural area where nascar is very popular (i personally never cared for it or paid much attention) and never understood the seemingly irrational hatred some people seemed to have for mr earnheardt, but that one quote makes it all make sense. thanks for clearing that up for me.

chocosoldier ,

my wife would be legit stoked, she loves weird huge creepy crawlies.

chocosoldier ,

right? this is the same type of brain-dead anti-intellectualist strawmanning that you see going around "mom groups" and antivaxx circles, just slightly tweaked. people are reading in their own nuanced criticisms (and those definitely need to be heard) but the meme itself is just "doctor bad".

chocosoldier ,

gatekeeping doesn't feel very punk tho

chocosoldier ,

I don’t really care either way, I just thought it was an amusing point in context.

honestly same

chocosoldier ,

agreed, and it's one i'm perfectly comfortable making, because I've left a bar thinking "wow that was fun i had a good time" exactly zero times, and "jesus h fuckin christ where do they get off charging so much for that swill in this noisy dump". bars are awful as social spaces and need to die.

chocosoldier ,

you're clearly the kind of person we're trying to escape be going to libraries instead of bars

chocosoldier ,

plenty of context to put that together chief, check your comment and the meme you posted it under and... look do really i need to spoonfeed you the very basic line of logic happening there? but if you treat meme comments like serious discussion then i see why you're at the bar and not a party

chocosoldier ,

see in my experience nobody worth interacting with hangs out in bars, so i guess we're pretty done here.

chocosoldier ,

wow you seem to have taken that really personally, almost like you're a sock puppet
