Uncritical support for this post.

If you can’t butcher your own meat, you’re using the disconnect of letting someone else handle that trauma for you to allow yourself to be complicit in the murder of a being.

Kill it and cut it yourself, or don’t fucking eat it.

Is that a bad thing?

I’m absolutely with you on that. I’ll never say it outright like “Hey friend, you’re trans” but I’ve had the conversation multiple times where I’ve said something along the lines of “Hey that was a super not-cis thing to say/do, do we maybe wanna unpack that?”

The prime dirEGGtive was meant to be broken, but it should be broken tactfully.

Have you considered doing stupid shit and used Bedrock Linux?

It’s great, but it’s still baking

Once upon a time I wanted to start a coffee shop/bookstore back when I lived in Texas. Looked into the laws around starting business and it turns out that to own and operate a business in Texas you must swear fealty to Israel.

Fuck that

Unlauncher changed my life and helped me break my addiction to my phone by using monochrome home screen with no icons so I didn’t get dopamine hits when I looked at my screen to open an app.

Tasker is wonderful for automating tasks

KLWP is great if you want to go full custom with your Homescreen and Lockscreen, allowing you to generate custom interactive live wallpapers which can act as a dashboard or as a launcher

For anyone who lives in Houston Texas or the surrounding area, Space City Weather is a phenomenal no bullshit, no ads, just weather app.

Dualshock 4 is great.

If you’re not gonna use it often and want a cheaper one, the Logitech F710 (wireless version of the f310) is great, just don’t use it for your submarines

Install the DEs manually instead of from metapackages so ,out don’t end up with their entire software suites being installed. Additionally, probably use Debian instead of Ubuntu if you’re gonna be doing stuff like that, less fingers in the pie make for an easier tinkering experience.

I just click allow and close the pop-up lol, haven’t had issues with it blocking me from playing. I use the YouTube Enhancer extension rather than a dedicated blocker, maybe that’s why?

Something something something… All publicity is good publicity

I’m doing a lot better than the last time I participated in a check in thread.

I’ve learned how to be myself as a single adult woman. I’ve been exploring my sexuality, and have been forwarding my sexual liberation by streaming on CB (which has had the side effect of tripling my income and taking my employer’s boot off my neck).

Drinking less, smoking less, learning to have fun alone.

My cat is in need of surgery, which sucks and I can’t afford it, which super sucks, but I’ll make it work, not like I have a choice.

Overall, I’m good, still having a bit of a rough time, still stressed, but good.

Wooo! Fuck yeah! I can’t WAIT to spend $40+ on another unfinished game, I LOVE not even being able to buy dlc to finish a game! This is PERFECT for me, I never beat them anyway, why buy game I won’t play?

Reddit’s recent API changes making it difficult to moderate the communities I was in charge of was the final straw for me. Tbh I’m surprised the racism, transphobia, and rampant sinophobia didn’t scare me away sooner.

I’m digging hexbear and the lemmyverse, y’all are cool as fuck… mostly.

But like, in what universe is that a bad thing?

If I could enjoy meat without involving animal cruelty, I would, steak is delicious but the bitter taste of death not so much.

Tried this a few months ago (I kept a can just to keep) and thought it was disgusting, like cleaning chemicals almost.

Try gparted on a liveUSB, you don’t wanna modify the partitions you’re actively using because it can(read: will) result in data loss.

If you’re willing to spend a little bit of time on it and actually know what’s happening behind the scenes, read the man-pages for fdisk and do it manually from a TTY, but for cereal, use a liveUSB and ffs do NOT mount the filesystems first

Icecat takes too long to compile

Nope

Can’t drink kefir 🎶cause I’m a filthy vegan🎶

I drink lots of kombucha though:)

I’m on an antibiotic round right now for strep, so I’m guessing that’s the issue

Been boycotting Starbucks for years, ever since they showed their workers how little they care by giving them a meditation app instead of reasonable work expectations.

Still can’t believe I wasted 4 years of my life working for that shithouse
