bro, what do you think tithing is?

Use a Linux LiveUSB. Sometimes it works. They’re dead simple to set up, too.

Edit: I’d appreciate an explanation for all these downvotes, given that this was literally how I got around the nannyware in high school.

It’s surprisingly effective resistance, given that undoing fascism begins with education.

Honestly, oat milk just meshes so well with the flavor profile of coffee. It depends on what drink you’re making, but in my experience, unless you’re making a caramel macchiato or a properly foamy cappuccino, oat milk lattes are perfect as they are.

Depends on the where and why.

In the Netherlands because you think it’s inadequate? No, the public education system there is exceptional, this is objectively the wrong position.

In the Deep South in the US because you feel the education system is inadequate, racist, corrupted by christofascism, and designed for failure? Based, there are plenty of good homeschool co-ops for parents with the same gripes.

In the Deep South because you think it isn’t loony enough and you want your kid to be a raging lunatic like you? Go fuck yourself. Seriously. Stop having children.

Free Ireland!

Cult upbringing aside, I had a good and loving family. They were genuinely doing the best with what they knew. I’ll never fault them for that.

All my real damage came from being an adult, in a world that was radically more dangerous and difficult than my sheltered upbringing prepared me for. And that damage is cumulative. We just gather more of it as we survive more shit through the decades.

This was brilliantly and very humorously explained.

One day, we’re going to outgrow ourselves. One day, we’re going to set aside our stupid petty squabbles, and we’re going to hope for something more.

I want to see us reach the stars, because I think one day we’ll be able to handle what the galaxy throws at us.

I was looking up stuff about Linux DAWs today, and I found this. I don’t know if you already know about it or not, but maybe it’ll be helpful to you.

I’ve never seen Bladerunner. But why would I flip the poor thing on its back in the first place? It’s just a tortoise, what the hell did the poor thing ever do to me?

Secret handshakes and codewords from movies I know the real one has never seen.

Ace enby lesbian here. I generally feel the same way. I’m attracted to femininity, equipment really doesn’t factor into how I feel about a woman. Or about femme-presenting people in general. I just think girls are pretty.

As a person with some pretty serious mental health issues, this is hilarious. I’m stealing it.

Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. If there was ever a voice of love and peace, it was a giant of a man with a giant’s heart. If I could bring one musician back from the dead, it would be the Hawaiian avatar of humankind’s best qualities.

But there may be a worthy successor to his voice.

I’ve been meaning to ask, what complaints do you have with open source DAWs? I know a lot of VST plugins just refuse to work in other programs, but what specifically do you miss the most?

Darkstone (1999) - Good game for a Diablo clone.

Debian-flavored Linux - My only complaints are hardware compatibility-related, and that is primarily because Nvidia and Intel both suck Microsoft’s floppy disk.

Krita, Gimp, Blender - Never needed another art program. Adobe can eat my paintbrush.

LibreOffice - I would literally have this over MSOffice any and every day of the week.

VLC - It just frickin’ works. And it’s good at its job. It plays anything!
