The amount of people celebrating the death of Dick Cheney is shocking.

I thought there'd be more.

It's scary and disorienting, but imo it's worth it.

I can now say anecdotally I have more friends that have tried Linux and are happier on it, than I have friends who went back to Windows.

Most of the people who went back went back for edge cases, weird hardware or that "one game" that has kernel level anticheat and doesn't run on Proton.

I've been investing in my bluray collection again and I can't believe how good 1080p blurays look compared to "UHD streaming" .

This is true, antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infection, not viral.

This is it, full stop. Dogs are individuals and should be treated as such.

I helped raise and home two litters of Staffordshire pups, we kept a rigorous list of the owners that we interviewed and checked the homes once a year to monitor the dogs progression. We made the owners sign a contract stating that if the living standards weren't up to snuff, we could reclaim the dogs. I worked with a fellow who raised Staffies for 30 years. In two litters, we had around a dozen well trained, friendly huggable porkchops. Two litters that had no recorded bites past a few months old (puppys nibble but can be trained), and showed no aggression with other animals. All those pups lived to old age, and passed in happy homes. I've also met too many pitbulls that were beyond any help i had to offer. Damaged dogs damaged by poor parenting.

I know my story is anecdotal, and i don't expect to change minds here, but i cant stand the outrage against such lovable dorks when something like the chihuahua exists.

Well I spent entirely too much time thinking about this. I guess so? Though I'm more of an HE calendar person...

If you're not, try watching Evangelion!

Yes, but also its illegal to kill a goose.

And I'm pretty sure someone told the geese.

I don't think anyone's ever been upset at being in the background , but there have been cases of people trying to get upskirts or taking creep shots. I think that's more what its about.

I get up at 5, but I'm not functional until around 6:30...

I'm not going to lie, that last one is the hardest thing for me.

After years of trades i always loved having a physical thing you can touch and feel at the end of the day. I'm in university for tech, and i'm still struggling with the lack of achievement. I don't often get to see someone use a thing I worked on, so it kinda feels like I spent a lot of time doing nothing.
