Quotes from their profile include:
"JD Vance said he was Making the Story up so as a Free Thinking Republican I need to wait until Fox News tells me what to think!"
And
"Who CARES about the Founders? The ONLY time they Matter is after a bunch of Kindergarteners get MASSACRED by a Gunman!"
In the comment they're saying:
"Republicans: I want IDs for for voting!!!!!1!!1
Also republicans: NO, NOT THOSE IDs, ONLY THAT KEEP PEOPLE FROM VOTING!!!!!!! 🤬"
It really only makes any sense that way. And their comment history is nothing but sarcastically mocking conservatives.
In this case it was very confusingly worded, but it really only makes sense when you read it as ape-ing the hypocrisy of Republican demands for voter IDs, except when they enable voter participation instead of limiting it.
Edit: restructured/reordered for clarity.

As much as I enjoy using GNOME as a software project and am excited about their design direction as a UI/UX nerd who loves open source stuff, I REALLY hope the new person they find can encourage them to move in a direction that involves playing well with others more often.
It's very frustrating how many projects or groups in the open source/free software world seem incapable of being prosocial, facilitating healthy community involvement, and NOT being antagonistic towards projects and people with different goals, priorities, or perspectives.

Your username is fitting.

Engaging with other people on this small platform makes it feel less empty. There aren't many people here, so I go out of my way to talk to people instead of just interacting with the number beside their comment or post.

Huh, interesting. I thought it was with respect to the development of the frontol lobe and your ability to evaluate risk vs reward, I must have sort of mixed "facts" I learned at some point

Kids are told to stay away because THC, like most drugs, impacts brain development 😅
Once you're 25 your brain is generally considered fully developed. The closer you get to that point the less of an issue it is, but kids shouldn't be smoking weed all the time, it can impair your brain's development.
Edit: there are corrections below regarding the age 25 as a brain development breakpoint

I've been basically one-tricking dreadwringer, either version
Other than that I've really enjoyed a lot of other aoe weapons like explo, range blaster (though I'm very out of practice on it right now 😅), rapid pro deco, and wellstring.
Sometimes I've played some slosher or tri-slosher, but I've never gotten totally comfortable on them at my normal rank, I've just practiced them with friends in open, or when rank is reset

Bro, your literal entire comment history is attacking people for not sharing your political compass alignment. Get offline. Do something that makes you happy. That shit ain't good for your head, and you can't fight the good fight when you're emotionally unwell and too wrapped up in your own anger to engage with anyone through anything other than insults and attacks.
Hope you have a decent day. Take care

I err on the side of respecting boundaries no matter what unless I'm prepared to sacrifice the relationship because I think helping them in ways they aren't accepting of is necessary. And even then there are ways I think it's okay to do that, and ways I don't, but it's very contextutal.

I probably will at some point, it's a shame though cause every once in a while something really fun or charming comes out of the greentext communities or reddit or lemmy. I don't meant to condemn folks for their choice or preferences, just express that I can't relate to them
Hope you have a good one :)

It's on the front page pretty often, as it seems like one of the larger communities
I'll probably end up blocking it as the other reply mentioned, but I don't usually like doing that. It's also a bummer cause occasionally something really lovely gets produced by 4chan, you just have to wade through a lot of bleakness before you find it, it would seem
I don't mean to disparage others their choice or preferences, just expressing I don't really understand them
Hope you have a good one :)

Hello, I broke my laptop about a week ago and could use a hand figuring out the best approach for recovering the files when my new laptop arrives The laptop was running fedora and would have used whatever encryption option is default in the fedora installer (The laptop required a password before it'd fininish booting so I'm pretty confident it was encrypted), which I believe would be LUKS? If I understand correctly the ssd is a socketed sata drive, so I figured I'd buy a sata drive enclosure when I get my new laptop that'd let me plug it in via USB I have the password I needed to boot when the device was working, if I get a sata enclosure can I access the files? Any input, guidance, thoughts or suggestions are appreciated :)
I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how grille height is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality.
I don't totally belong in this community as I rather like cars & motorcycles (but not how dependent our society is on them), but I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how the height of the front bumper/grille is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality and I felt it'd be a good fit for the community :) Even as more of a car enthusiast, it's very frustrating how regulations intended to improve emissions have inadvertently resulted in basically every car on the road being a towering murder-behemoth that isn't actually even practical for their "intended" purposes (Speaking about trucks and SUVs since in my mind at least they're supposed to be utility vehicles for getting stuff done. Truck beds are the same size, but far harder to reach/see into, and get stuff out off for really no benefit whatsoever, and also have crap visibility) I'm sure the way he voices certain things will be frustrating to some folks in this community, and thats fair- I think there's still merit to the way he's trying to push for a single small change that'd make a really big impact on safety (assuming legislators are willing to bite the bullet and actually do something for once). I try to be an ally to the ideas of making society less car-dependent even coming from a different perspective, and I hope y'all can see the value of folks in the enthusiast world as allies to the cause even if we don't share perspectives on everything. (For context, Fortnine is a motorcycling YouTube channel, and is as such obviously run by folks who love and care about motorcycling) Hopefully this knowledge being more commonplace and widely discussed can more quickly result in legislation that makes cars far safer for pedestrians and cyclists Hope y'all have a good day :) Edit: added some context regarding Fortnine that intended to include but initially forgot
I've been learning how to build a team comp with my team lately and it occurred to me that the notes I'm taking may be helpful for others as well! Here are the two most helpful videos I've watched on the subject- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALSO WATCHING THESE VIDEOS IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THIS SUBJECT! There are really helpful things explained in the first two videos that won't be covered in this post A primer on weapon roles before you think about building a team comp: [What Am I Doing? Part 1: Weapon Roles (Squidschool on YouTube)](https://youtu.be/mAQKecopAtQ?si=l8U4b3mqWM9ZdR_d) And a video on actually putting together a team comp, and going through the process for an example team: [A Simple Guide to Low Level Team Building (Bebrop on YouTube)](https://youtu.be/Zb0OMeiR_fQ?si=bjx-4wZ9kwWpuhk-) And here's some additional viewing, but it's contents are mostly covered by the rest of this post (the video goes through all the considerations by which to evaluate a team comp or how well weapons work together) Still helpful though! [Weapon Compositions (Squid School on YouTube)](https://youtu.be/JCwzw5QmJxc?si=JsiNDnDbwMPlmRF3) #Here are my notes on relevant considerations for building a team comp and evaluating synergy. This list is intended to be useful for evaluating *both* individual weapons and what they bring to the table, and also an entire comp and whether it has any big holes or oversights: ==================================== - Speed - Damage combos between weapons, sub weapons, and specials (mostly relevant for chip damage and aoe weapons) - Ability to frontline/push in - Viability for each role (the weapon roles video by squid school is important for evaluating this) - Special (how valuable it is), Special output/ability to get special quickly - Entry tools, displacement - Ability to paint - Need for paint in order to succeed (ambush weapons) - Ability to paint safely (paint at range, potentially via bombs) - Lethal bomb - Range/ability to threaten long range weapons - Ability to answer strong meta picks on enemy team (I think this is a harder question right now due to zooka and cooler having few counters. Brella is a strong matchup into all the splatter shots and other similar shooters in the meta, bubbler is strong into zooka, blasters and long range weapons are strong into inkjet, vacuum can be strong into trizooka and inkjet) - Maps: does this weapon/comp need certain maps to be viable? Is it really strong on certain kinds of maps? - SPLAT ZONES: reefslider, tristrike, bombs, burst paint, rain, vacuum, paint output, entry tools (lockout is very prevalent) - TOWER CONTROL: blasters & sloshers, reefslider(kinda), big bubbler, booyah bomb (might get one-shot by zooka?), tristrike, kracken, suction bomb, killer wail?, inkjet - CLAMS: speed, cooler, vacuum, kracken, beakons?, paint, strong frontline slaying and skirmishing - RAINMAKER: Cooler (insanely strong in literally every mode 😅), vacuum, object damage & bombs, toxic mist (kinda), speed ==================================== #EXAMPLE: I'm gonna go through an example for vanilla slosher since thats what I've been maining. ###• Speed: GOOD. Maybe the fastest of the AOE (area of effect) weapons ### • Damage combos between weapons, sub weapons, and specials: GOOD/VERY GOOD (ideally you'd go through relevant combos with other potential weapons in your comp here, but I don't know the exact damage values right offhand and wouldn't wanna go through any possible combo anyway) but splat bomb and the main weapon can both do chip damage potentially combo-ing with wave, blaster/range blaster, 52 gal, zooka indirect, super chump, tristringer, etc. ###• Ability to frontline/push in GOOD/VERY GOOD ###• Viability for each role **SKIRMISHER:** VERY GOOD **SLAYER:** GOOD **SUPPORT:** OKAY/POOR. Poor paint but can poke with bombs, not a *super* high value special except in zones and tower control **ANCHOR:** POOR. Has *some* amount of range to keep enemies away, and poking with splat bomb can help, but can't paint to deny approach, and has poor range compared to a proper backline, and can only threaten a fast kill time when you combo with your splat bomb, so you can still get rushed down while trying to give safe jumps to your teammates ###• Special (how valuable it is), Special output/ability to get special quickly: OKAY. Special is only super valuable in certain modes, special output isn't amazing I don't think ###• Entry tools, displacement: OKAY. Tristrike is an okay-ish entry tool on zones, and tower control where people clump up, and sometimes clams. If the map is cramped it can be a better entry tool there as well ###• Ability to paint POOR. Bomb and special help, but is just outclassed by so many other midline/frontline weapons ###• Need for paint in order to succeed (ambush weapons): DOESN'T NEED MUCH HELP with paint in order to contribute ###• Ability to paint safely (paint at range, potentially via bombs) OKAY. Splat bomb and the little bit of range the main has help contest space the enemies want ###• Lethal bomb GOOD on TC, VERY GOOD on everything else ###• Range/ability to threaten long range weapons: OKAY. Splat bomb and tristrike help it here ###• Ability to answer strong meta picks on enemy team: Has a better matchup into fast mid/close range shooters w/cooler than most aoe weapons, but other than that there's not really anything special in terms of matchup into the meta ###• Maps: OKAY on any map. Can be GOOD/VERY GOOD on maps with a lot of cover, ledges and verticality. ###• Splat Zones: GOOD. Valuable special, bomb for burst paint, but the main weapon has poor paint and burst paint ###• Tower Control: GOOD. Valuable special, main and sub that can threaten tower(but not as well as suction bomb or blasters) ###• Clams: GOOD/VERY GOOD. Very good speed and ability to push up, frontline, skirmish and get kills, but special is medium value ###• RAINMAKER: GOOD. Main weapon has poor object damage, but bomb and special can both help. Special has medium value. But it has very good speed and ability to push up, frontline, skirmish and find kills. #TAKEAWAYS Overall, slosher is a very good all around weapon, and it makes sense that its a top tier in the current meta. It can play fast, has a lethal bomb, and its special can be very valuable for certain modes. In order to build a team around slosher, the other weapons probably need to help with: paint for map control, safe paint at a distance, slaying, ability to threaten backline targets, and ideally other weapons would contribute high value specials that can get picks (zooka, inkjet), and/or work as an entry tool (tentamissles, rain, probably others). Slosher would synergize best with other weapons that can play a fast, or at least at a medium speed of play, and can do chip damage. Once you understand the considerations for the weapons in your weapon pool (and the weapon pools of your teammates), you can go through the process explained in the team comp building video to try and assemble a comp out of the options you have. This list can then be useful again in reviewing strong points and weak points of the comp you're considering. Full disclaimer- I'm a fairly low level player, but I wanted to share what I'm learning and organize it into something that might be helpful to others. Largely just as a learning exercise for myself :) #splatoon #splatoon3 #splatoonfedi #competitive #comp

A bowl of somewhat lazy tomato based curry made with stew beef and served with jasmine rice, some toasted naan with garlic honey butter, and garnished with some cilantro :) (Somewhat lazy because I cheated making the "sauce", using a jar of curry sauce in addition to the aromatics I fried up, supplemented with a bunch of additional spices)

From the website linked: In June 2022, City of Durham’s Community Safety Department launched the HEART program to offer the care that Durham residents need when we’re experiencing nonviolent mental health crises or quality of life concerns. They offer crisis call diversion, care navigation, and community response. During the pilot phase HEART workers have delivered aid, supplies, community resources, and much more to community members who look just like you and me, in over 6200 responses, taking an average of 5.47 minutes to arrive at the scene.
