Well then you’re not protected from the bathroom skunks!

Well. Right now, putin is in an unwinable war. He CAN’T win given his lack of superior quality war machines and materials. His lack of combat experienced military personel, and his lack of air defenses. They’re losing literal thousands of personel (mostly soldiers) every single day.

If putin loses, he dies. He will be forcefully removed from his position and executed. He knows this. The united states knows this. Everybody in the situation knows this. Which is why for a very long time, nobody would allow Ukraine to use their weapons deep into russia in an effort to curb escalation. Because back against the wall, with no other possibility for winning the war, putin is going to eventually use nukes. He’s going to use nukes when it’s a situation of “fuck it, I’m going to die anyways. Nuke em.”

And as each day passes, russia gets further and further into a state of permanent national destability. This war is going to harm them for generations. Even before the war, they hadn’t replenished their population to pre-WWII levels. This is on-par with that. That should give you an idea of how badly this is going to damage their next 40 years. Hundreds of thousands of young men all dead. And eventually, russia will run out of men to send to the war. That’s when putin pushes the button. He’s going to nuke Ukraine. Probably Kiev. And it will happen before this war is over. Unlike hitler just killing himself and his wife, putin is going to try to take everybody down with him. Because that’s how big his ego is.

Only question is…does he ONLY fire at Kiev? Does he just go balls out and nuke everybody instead? Scorched earth kind of thing.

Only time will tell. If we live to tell the tale.

Do you ever worry that somebody could just forcefully grab you, unzip your pants and forcefully stuff hundreds of angry snakes into your pants? Or that you’re going to pull back your shower curtain one day, and there’s going to be a bear in your shower? Or that one day all the countries will just nuke each other for funsies?

I often worry about things that don’t makes sense. Like the one time my ex girlfriend was eating ice cream, and I wondered if one day she might give birth to a moose.

Can’t confirm. World is dark. Life is pain.

Pretty sure Japan wouldn’t agree with that last point…

I’ve been trying to understand linux that way for 10 years. The problem is the tutorials will say “do this and this, and this, and this”. I’ll get maybe 30% through the tutorial, and get an error. But the tutorial didn’t account for an error. So I google the error, and find 10 different pages all telling me to do 10 different things.

But in doing 7 of those things, I screw 3 more things up because I don’t know what those things did. Or I did them wrong. And now I have 8 problems instead of 1.

Sometimes you just need a human teacher who knows what they’re doing. It’s like learning to cook, but not having taste buds. You can be told to add salt, but if you don’t know what salt does, or why you’re adding it, you might add too much, or not enough, or at the wrong time. But if a human teacher can explain what you’re doing, and what it does, and why it does that, THEN you might learn.

Because nobody understands everything, but our individual areas of expertise vary from person to person. So you seek help on the things that confuse you.

There have been some helpful people in this thread. You’re not one of them. Instead you’re displaying the same attributes that take the most open and free operating system, and give it the reputation as being closed gated.

It would be like a mechanic rolling his eyes at you for not knowing how to replace a muffler, or change your own oil.

As others said, use a pre built distro + DE environment, especially if you don’t really know what you do. Another thing that I’d recommend: a distro that be backed up easily. So you can tinker and start over, if necessary.

homer simpson voice Ooooooo! Expain how!

Hopefully, if I keep my installation small, and my game roms on a different partition, I can just stick a USB stick in, and backup before I do anything stupid. Then if I break it, I can reflash the first partition from my USB backup, and my rom files partition won’t be affected, since they were never the problem.

I have not, but if I have issues when I get home from work, those will be the places to check first!

:D

I wish the Lemmy search could search inside your brain. When I get home, I’m going to try this. And assuming it doesn’t give me 50 million errors (or…even 1 error, as I don’t know what I’m doing), then this seems like a really easy thing to do. Now if something goes wrong…then I’m screwed. Most other people who use linux would be like “Oh, yeah, error 5227. Simple error. You just have to configure the combobulator, and process the hexagonal diagrams!”

And I would be like “…do what now?”

But as long as it’s just one simple copy/paste line in terminal…I SHOULD be fine…unless I’m not.

A danger of being decentralized is losing all of your momentum.

NINTENDO SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO BUY RARE, AND I’M STILL NOT OK WITH IT!!!

Also…has anyone seen the 5th Jiggy piece? I’m looking for the 5th Jiggy piece!

I can see the logic behind switch, but I’d argue game boy is a portable only system. Whereas the switch is a hybrid.

I have no idea what your logic is with steamdeck.

Well this is unsettling…

I personally grew up on red/blue, but I’m sure those will be too primitive for her.

Does she have a DS?

Does she have a Nintendo Switch?

Have you tried minecraft? My 12 year old niece loves minecraft.

Also, pokemon. My niece loved it when she was younger.

I can’t speak for German work culture, but in America, you absolutely will get lazy workers in office jobs.

It’s like 99:1 ratio of lazy workers to working workers. Unless you’re on 3rd shift. Then you’re the only one there.
