You made perfect sense, and this post was overwhelmingly upvoted.

Chill out.

Next time:

“Was this ai-written?”

“No, I wrote this.”

"Cool, I like sailing too.

Comfortable and appropriate.

Cool.

Creative endeavors are where it’s at.

Peace and love, friend.

That’s cool. You can still work when you want to, I do.

Do you build?

I rarely receive that response, and I think when I have it’s exclusively from someone who builds houses or something like that.

There are tons of ways, teaching English overseas, trick out an RV and add solar, digital nomad, it really depends on the interests of the person.

The nice thing is that many options take almost no training or prep time.

They’re right there to take advantage of.

What do you mean you wouldn’t want to have that lifestyle, traveling or not working?

A conspiracy is a plan carried out by a group, usually clandestinely and usually to the detriment of others, and they are very common (fake electors scheme, Northwoods, sea spray).

But most people “don’t believe” in conspiracies, which means they 1) don’t believe in people making plans and carrying them out, and they 2) don’t believe in objective, historical fact.

To live in the world and refuse to acknowledge how it operates and how other people operate must be very confusing.

Pppfff heck yeah.

Pretty good example is my lifestyle.

I travel perpetually. I saved money for several years, invested it, budget the interest, and don’t work unless I want to.

For years, when my lifestyle comes up, people often say something like “I wish I could do that” or “I’ve always wanted to travel”. After I say “you definitely can”, they ask me how they can do it.

When I explain how simple and cheap it is to work less/travel, they 1) get angry or 2) dismissive.

Their stated goals haven’t changed, they still claim to want to travel and stop working, but after hearing that they can do it at any point, they shut down or say “well, maybe one day…”, which means that after years of living a lifestyle they’re dissatisfied with, they’re going to choose to continue their confining lifestyle.

Usually in real life they insist they “could never”, but online they seem more comfortable condemning any quick or simple solution to working too much and being depressed/poor/trapped in their life.

Other travelers I meet say the same thing, that they can only travel for a limited time, but the allienation is more stark with people who I know more personally.

I’ll go traveling, and each time I visit old friends hear the same “wow, what, how?”, then “must be nice” and “I could never” stuff I’ve heard year after a year from the same people.

I haven’t brought up my lifestyle on my own initiative in years because I’ve experienced over and over how upset people become when they realize that they can take control of their lives at any point and are choosing not to.

Books before, still books.

“They may not be “significant”, but you have political commentators thinking it would be for the best”.

Yup. Insignificant performing pundits.

Still insignificant.

Trump stumbles over his words or says nonsense, was an absolute s***show of a president who constantly lied.

Biden stumbles over his words or says nonsense, has been a great president and has done what he said he was going to do.

The Democrats do not need anybody better, Biden is achieving all of his policy aims that are in line with progressives in the United States

If you want to see somebody tap dancing, go to Broadway.

As far as the administration of the country goes, Biden is doing a very good job developing and supporting civil rights, the environment, sustainable technology and the economy.

Many people who didn’t watch the debate, don’t regularly watch his public appearances and read internet comments feel the same way you do.

Calls for biden to step down are not significant in the real world, they are baseless epithets repeated on the internet by anonymous strangers or established conservatives.

The concerns of people are being addressed, any claims to the contrary are not based in fact.

“what’s he going to be like in his mid-80s”

Not as important to holding the office of the President as people are misapprehending. Biden’s not a car salesman, he is administering a country, and he’s good at it. He can wear polka dot bow ties for all I care. FDR was in a wheelchair and often couldn’t speak at all.

Anyone who believes there’s any reason to replace Biden as the presidential candidate at this point is either allowing themself to be fooled by internet trolls or is a troll themselves.

Maybe.

“With essentially just those two control inputs an incredible variety and complexity of movements is possible”

“If you have ever met sailors, they probably are really intense…”

“For a long sailboat that have a consequently big turning radius”

There are so many bizarre yet precise turns of phrase repeating themselves that it’s difficult for me to see them typing this all out.

Are you going off the two five-second clips that are being repeated everywhere or the entire debate?

For an event that means so little substantively, “pretty well” is a good metric.

If you walk through a manure mister and look pretty well at the end of it, you’re good.

Also, he has regular public performances before and after that event, if you watch any of those, he’s fine.

4 years of effective administration is more significant testament to biden’s ability to lead than standing on stage next to an idiot for 90 minutes.

Rad, thanks

Did you type all of that out?

That is a lot.

Is that AI generated?

I don’t get it, if it’s free why is it 5.99?

Nope

I dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu, it was super easy to do years ago with a YouTube walkthrough, I’m sure there are even better ones now.

I’d recommend just finding one that makes sense to you and following that step by step, it’s a very straightforward process.

I’m not sure about secure boot, I had to disable mine.

I have a single SSD drive and have had zero problems switching between Windows and Linux for years.

Backing up your hard drive is the only precaution you need that I know about.

I can access Windows from my Lennox installation, and have transferred files from Windows to Linux, and I haven’t seen any problems. So anecdotally, I don’t think you’ll have any trouble with them being on the same drive.

Cool, thanks.

That’s the way, I usually vote independent.

This time, though, Biden is doing everything I was looking for from the green party so yeah, I’m good this round.

Do you have a single issue that you’re voting on , or is it just independent on principle regardless of the issues?

Absolutely absurd.

He’s been doing a great job for 4 years, standing next to dumps, who can’t string two sentences together, and being asked palatable questions that basically mean nothing, I think he did pretty well for an 81-year-old.

Also, biden’s a great president, they don’t need anyone better.
