Laptops have soul

I've got a 23-year-old netbook that slowly perished under the weight of windows. I've got some lightweight Linux distro on it and its absolutely fucking fine.

I resurrected it specifically to use as a digital reference guide for electronics, and to program my new Arduino. It can even barely load Firefox (exclusive) OR play videos!

Tldr is: Buy old electronics. Use better software.

Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.

Reply in thread

Holy Hell! The twists! (spoilers) I couldn't believe when an Ubuntu mod said "if we let you say you're queer, we would also have to let people say they hate you and want you dead." I was even more shocked when they were acting appropriately- Nazis are a protected class at Ubuntu (this is only a little hyperbolic and also that's all the spoilers)

I've never heard a GM actively try to shut players up. Usually its the opposite lol. Unless something like "My character sings [sentence]" works, I don't think I would be able to participate.

I am guessing the idea is to induce terror in the holder such that, if they did not intend to hold a vial of Co 60, they would not mess with it further. It conveys the appropriate level of danger, if not an appropriate set of handling instructions.

Edit: So I looked it up and I misunderstood: if you can read that (especially by the blue glow) then its rapidly killing you. I really don't understand how dangerous some radiation is lmao.

The point isn't "a lot of women dont react to hot men" but "you do not need to be very physically strong-looking to get a girlfriend."

I've seen a person I found very attractive before, I'm sure. That doesn't mean I'm only going to date that person.

That being said, sure, being physically attractive makes you more attractive. No argument here or from the meme.
