Don’t you forget Linux.

I’ve got one sitting on the doormat as we speak. Winter is over around here, and Bruce Willis is back to work at the ripe old age of 14 or 15, nobody knows.

That bike looks pretty sweet and comfortable AF. And I watched the Top Gear episode on the Reliant Robin, and so I could imagine the front single wheel being super unstable.

Recumbent cycling absolutely appeals to me.

I’m assuming you’re older than me, but I’m on my way to 39. New shoes have really done a lot for some of the aches and pains associated with running, though if the damage is done I think it’s moot.

Yeah, I’m doing nothing but running right now, adjusting my workout, training often. That’s it. When I see a long plateau, then I’ll consider looking to other things, but right now I know there’s room in my purse running training for improvement, so there’s no point in messing around with other shit.

When I swam in high school, 20+ years ago now, we would wear drag suits to practice, because it made sense, make it harder to swim in practice.

They now wear leggings or bodysuits in practice because they determined that swimming with the extra drag negatively effected your stroke, and that it’s better to achieve mechanical perfection through consistent practice.

People study the shit out of this stuff, really takes the fun out of everything.

It is such a non-issue, messing with the clocks. I ruin my sleep plenty on my own, and I’m sure everyone here sits up playing videogames or fucking around on the internet from time to time.

The US’s issue in wars has consistently been “what next?” They are good at getting troops to battlegrounds and securing battlegrounds. They are logistically superior to everyone. The problem becomes the hanging around afterward. And it’s obvious we’re headed there again, considering the administration has all but stated they don’t know what the endgame is.

Thanks dude, came way too far to see someone else say this. Surprised it hasn’t been a NYPost article title already. It’s a rag, but they certainly can use clever wordplay in the titles.

That is crazy, especially considering we’ve got places in the US that do permanent time.

My previous car I did 60 months at 0%. They were offering, I knew I’d drive it that long, so why not.

And for a solid five months I had no car loan to pay!

Nah, remember the final episode when he came out and showed everyone in the audience his face? It was something else, lemme tell you.

Windows works fine.

That’s concerning!

And yet it’s a tale as old as humanity. I sometimes wonder if I’m wrong, because I’m literally not that into anything. The list of things I’d kill for is super small. Shit, I was in the Marines, and halfway through my enlistment I was like what the fuck, and count myself lucky I didn’t have to go to war. At that time, my biggest fear was that I’d have to kill someone because they were going to kill one of my guys, a real head fuck for someone who doesn’t want to kill anyone.

Yeah, killing, just not for me. And I’ve given my opinion online before, and people have talked very cavalier about killing, and I’ve always just imagined it would be the kind of thing that you would never, ever stop thinking about, whether you were justified in doing so or not.

So yeah, to be so into something unproven that you’re willing to kill for it, I kinda envy it. I want to know what that’s like, because I just cannot get my head around it.

It’s funny ain’t it? I know those older Gen Xers said the same shit about me and my generation, and here I am. I try to remind myself that. But sometimes the stupidity of these kids exceeds my abilities.

Preach. Any thread remotely about operating systems turning into a “Fuck windows” Linux cicrclejerk is just annoying as fuck. I’m almost refusing to use Linux just to spite Lemmy.

And I’m well aware I’m a spiteful person, it’s how I’ve survived 38 years, and I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing, it’s worked out just fine!

Yeah, I just have a tough time believing you guys, from my limited experience with Linux, but also from many others here who seem to be Linux users, but can appreciate why others don’t use it. Folks talking about updates bricking peripherals and whatnot. It’s something that has literally never happened to me in the last 30+ years I’ve been Windowsing.

If Linux users could stop being so hyperbolic in their superiority, it might entice me to try it out. Windows isn’t some unusable shit and everyone knows it. It’s had its issues since day one. And to suggest Linux is just this set it and forget it OS is preposterous. Let’s all be real.

Sup, I’m only here to get mad.
