Unrelated, but we have a near identical feed

I use foot, it’s very bare bones, but I’m using zellig to get all the QoL features I could want!

If I may project a little, I think the commenter is pointing to language that’s been cropping up essentially calling big name republicans traitors for endorsing Kamala. While you’re more than allowed to interpret what they said literally, I read it has intentionally a bit hyperbolic to make the point that a huge portion of the Republican Party will literally blindly follow him, even if the party leaders are starting to flake.

Just remember, rewording this statement:

If big name Republicans aren’t going to vote for him, why are you assuming all other Republicans will?

To the version that would exemplify your interpretation:

If big name Republicans are going to vote for him, why are you assuming all other Republicans will?

Still creates an equally bold, and hyperbolic claim. Sometimes people use words like “all” and don’t really mean every last person. I blame the English language, not the people taking words literally, for misunderstandings like this.

Just remember, especially with politics, people often hype up language a bit, it makes statements carry more oomph, and can help keep supporters excited for whatever movement they are supporting.

You might already have something picked out, but for potential future reader I’m reviving this thread a little to add another good word for the Healthy Rips vapes. In an effort to deep, deep, clean (I’m talking definitely voiding any warranty type deep) my old piece I killed the power button. Even though I had a few issues with the design of the vape, I ordered a new one with little hesitation as I liked the first more than anything else I’ve tried. Plus, it lasted me 5+ years and way exceeded my expectations for price compared to how much “material” was put through it in its lifetime.

When I got the new one I was pleasantly surprised they in the years since buying the original, almost all of my design issues were addressed and I’d now recommend the vape even more so.

Agreed! Great work!! The shadow behind her looking like the other bombs as well as her having horns. Excellent touch.

Yeah, I was running it through Tailscale too. I’m definitely closer to a newbie than I am a self hosting vet, so there’s likely some fault of mine that made things not run so well.

Yeah I had my eye on this a few months back when I was looking for a FOSS windows Remote Desktop alternative. Between the security issues, and generally struggle to get it working well, I eventually went to a sunshine/moonlight combo for shockingly high performance screen sharing that can even handle basic gaming if need be.

I’ve worked on one of these that sails off the coast of New England. It was a passenger boat that would do week long cruises. Long, tough hours, but the view from the office each morning was unbeatable.

I took degoogling as an opportunity to review and purge a lot of accounts and actually hold myself to going through the GDPR data removal requests and all that. I refreshed passwords and emails of accounts I actually wanted to keep, and pretty much ditched the rest. If the account never made it into my password manager in the first place it clearly wasn’t very important, so it can bounce around cyberspace forever I guess.

I’ve stopped playing since Microsoft copilot was announced and I fully ditched windows, but I held on until the final raid because of the gun play, nostalgia, and the representation present in both the studio and the game. I grew up with the Marathon games, and the early Halo series. The DNA of those games is still there and I can’t help but love it. I’ve been chasing a single player experience that gets even close to Destiny’s feel for so long. The System Shock remake is getting close, but I would love a PvE only game from Bungie. For a long time (read pre-Sony-buyout) Bungie was also a sort of hold out for various minority representations I try to support. The studio’s media showed an employee base that is diverse and they often did a good job pushing back against players saying any sort of agenda was being pushed just for including diversity in the game. This made them a company I was much more willing to throw money at, compared to say, activision/blizzard. That sentiment as largely faded for me as the studio had been turned into a “for the shareholders” cow Sony can milk.

If I had a nickel for every time I went through puberty, I’d have 2 nickels. That’s not much, buts it’s interesting it happened twice.

Well great work! I hope to see more!

Thanks for all the info! Very helpful. I love that it’s a whole camera not just an open scanner!

This is incredible!! Could you describe the process? Are you just repositioning your hands as the scanner head moves? I’d love try to screen print that or something. The gradients are super delicate, and it almost looks like a pixel sort effect. Just all around very cool.

I Saw the TV Glow, I was just talking about not liking that I’ve been desensitized to it a bit.

Just trying to play CoD with THE BOYS back home!! That and running their onlyfans pages. Come on, let them have their fun!

Dreams of Code on YouTube has a video for a full start to finish arch install specifically including full disk encryption. While my computer is far from “slow” it’s also nothing crazy, and other than adding a second password to my bootup process, the decrypting really doesn’t take long.

Yeah I suppose, I think there’s a certain visual associated with it that gear plays a part of. Like big wall harness, TCPros, and chalk bucket clipped in the front, trying to top out some boulder that ends on a jug or something.

I read that as “guy liner” at first.

In rock climbing we use “Gumby” no clue why.

EDIT: I’d like to clarify I agree about the gatekeeping this reinforces and this really doesn’t get used often, and if anything it sees more use among friends for silly reasons, like missing a Velcro on a shoe or something. Like I said I don’t know the origin because I don’t really engage with the “joke” that much.

I’ve got a mod list sitting about waiting for a New Vegas replay. Just some light stuff to make it feel like it holds up more today. What a good game.

I’ve been playing the System Shock remake, and it’s been a dream!! It could be a tad more hand holdy, particularly with actually presenting the story, but it’s very true to the style at the time, leaving you to just explore an “abandoned” space ship to figure out what happened. It feels very Bioshock, meets Metroid, meets Marathon, meets Alien Isolation.

Metro 2033, and I’m fairly confident the 2 sequels, has also been running very smoothly. I plan to do a full play through of all 3 games having played the first 2 zones of metro exodus years ago and falling in love with the world building. Something I realized I was missing in a lot of games was full voice acting. If there are captions/words/subtitles on the screen someone is saying them out loud. I guess in world words like posters and such no, obviously not, but even the “loading screen” are these lovely journal/map moments, reminiscent of travel transitions in old films. They come with a fully voice acted paragraph to make it not feel like a loading screen at all, but a transition in the “film” or chapters of the game. This makes sense being based on books. The story is just given to you so well, while also allowing enough freedom to make it feel like you are an active part.

100% agree with Celeste!!! Go crack your egg and climb a mountain!! Lol

Confirmed running on Linux under proton. I started replaying it just the other week. Struggled to get back into it for a second time, but not because it’s a bad game, I’m just a very different person from the one that got a lot from that story. Would absolutely recommend the game.

I appreciate it!! I realize it’s a pretty niche request, made mostly selfishly, but it’s very fun for me!!

I’ve hit a point where I’ll ask staff for their Venmo and pay them directly if I really feel compelled to support them for quality service. Particularly at a lot of bars or clubs I do this. I don’t really drink much, so I’ll often go whole nights just getting waters from a bartender and then ask them for their Venmo so I can still tip them for all the free water. I’m also generally willing to tip well at local small businesses where half the time I know the people working there.

I have one, but I don’t have any sort of routine with it. I’ve used it here and there if I want to sort of extend the working time of shaving my face. Let’s say I’ve got a night out, maybe spending the night somewhere other than home, and I want to still have a smooth-ish face the next morning, then I’ll use it.

I’ve been really enjoying Shapez2 after getting back into Factorio in preparation for the Shapez2 release. In the end very similar, but I’d say Shapez is like creative mode of factorio and doesn’t have any blatant colonialism lol.

This is really random, but could you go back to omitting the title of the game from the title of the post? I’m possibly the only one, but guessing the game before looking at the post text has become a sort of daily game for me.

Lmaooo!! The tits on my chest say I’ve got my “babe” card I think. Cringe doesn’t exist and I won’t get into the irony of you mansplaining the sexist history of the word “babe” to a gal. My “response” was that you’re being unnecessarily inflammatory without being constructive. The post did not make me feel bad because I’m confident in my support of my community both local and global. I am in fact doing what my means allow for as many people as possible as I believe many of the people on this app are. Maybe these memes are a cry for help because you are actually self conscious of not having done more for your various communities and you now exist largely alone, both in person and in digital spaces. But that’s a whole different discussion for your therapist.

Welcome to the library, you been read.

Lmao Muted

Babe you’re seriously missing the point. I think the vast majority of people here are aware there’s a genocide happening. I’d say plenty have done their best to directly support those affected according to our means. The “stopping genocide” is happening in other places, and you’re invited, if you can look past the unnecessarily inflammatory memes.

At a point this is barely a discussion of politics and social issues, and just your delivery being, to be frank, mid. You’re just posting stuff designed to make people feel bad for taking care of as many people as they can, both at home and the world over. We’re all on board, now let’s talk and organize and go DO, not repost weird backwards right wing talking points.

Seriously I’m not trying to start T, but I can’t help but feel there’s a disconnect in the memes you’re posting, and the takes you’re having in the comments. To me this meme, and others you have posted, seem to try to catch progressives, dems, leftists, whatever demographic, in this sort of gotcha that is the same gotcha that actual right wing actors are trying to use to push potential voters for Harris to vote third party or not at all. Does voting for Harris still make us complicit in genocide. Yeah, sure, probably, but putting Trump in office makes us all a whole lot more than complicit. I think we are in agreement. Genocide bad. Trump bad. Trump make genocide worse. Harris not great. But Harris better for US and probably for Palestine in the long term.

Idk, maybe consider shifting your posting away from right wing “gotchas” to things that actually get people discussing the issues rather than trying to make them feel bad for feeling trapped in the two party system and maybe accidentally pushing them away from participating in the political process. Seems like it’s bringing heat your way from commenters, and honestly, the whole “I’m just being devils advocate because someone has to be” is just making you a blah person to interact with no matter how you plan to vote, who you support where, and which issues are deal breakers for you. Tbh we aren’t really in a position to be picky.

I was just recommended a video about this game earlier today. I had already opened this thread, but had not read everything yet. I’m taking it as a sign. Terrafirmacraft is one of my fav Minecraft modpacks, and Vintage Story looked to lean into what TFC was trying to do to Minecraft. Cheers for the recommendation!!

Tidal power generators seem like a no brainer!!

Oh damn. Okay, realizing that a lot of my “pickiness” with clothes was actually a ‘tism thing opened a lot of doors, but also turned into a bit of a rollercoaster. I started my transition at the same time as it really clicked I was neurodivergent so my desires to explore fashion I felt I had been robbed of clashed with my sensory stuff.

I prefer tighter under-things, not going into detail why, but hopefully y’all can piece it together. Most of my shirts are 100% cotton, mostly looser and cropped shorter because I’ve got a tiny torso. I hate it when I feel like a shirt is sticking around my hips and has to pull itself up when I lean/twist. So loose flowy tops generally, unless I’m going for a specific fashion moment. This extends to bras. Usually softer “t-shirt” bras, but I can put up with something less comfortable so long as I look particularly good in it and I’m not wearing it for a full day.

Pants have been a journey. I used to get really bad eczema on the backs of my knees, so for a long time I only wore shorts. Year round, rain, shine, snow. Jeans in particular were a real struggle as a kid. I grew out of my eczema, so I’ve forced myself to at least try a lot of the pants I hated as a kid again. This made me discover the wonderful world of second hand jeans. The big reason I couldn’t handle jeans as a kid was I would be trying new, un-broken in, jeans, and they are just waaaaayyyyy too scratchy.

Outer layers. Idk, so long as my base is comfy, I use outer layers as fashion opportunities.

Oh v necks or at least relaxed neck line shirts only. Normal t-shirt neck lines feel like I’m being choked, and not in the fun way.

I got long winded, I think that’s most of the specifics I usually deal with.

I also want to get into this!! I’m over six foot, and like 75% legs now that I wear my pants in the right spot. Buying pants is quite literally impossible on a bad day, and compromising on a good day. I do have a few YouTube creators for making your own underwear, but I’ll have to track them down later. Please remind me if I haven’t done that in like a day or so. The one I’m thinking of does mostly lingerie, but she might have videos of more basics further back in her catalogue.

I also have a pair of those and I like them. You kind of need to adjust your expectations and realize the specific use case. Hi-Fi they are not, but the point is to leave your ears open to the sounds of your environment and in that they excel. Would recommend.

THE SOUNDTRACK IS SO GOOD!! After seeing the movie the first time I just dragged the whole thing into my playlist. That quote in particular is a fav of mine as well!

I know 5 trans masc people. Though I think only one of them is binary trans. 2 of them are into tech though, and all of them are quite nerdy. In fact I know fewer femmes, including myself, than I know mascs, and I’m the only cliche, techy, arch Linux installing, trans femme of that group.

Worse, but I think a big part of that has been giving myself the space to have those sensory response moments, and just like understanding myself better, being more patient with myself, stuff like that.
