An amethyst crystal I found in my (gravel) driveway a full 4 years after moving in. It’s a good 8 inches/20cm long, and shaped like a tear drop. It’s amazing and I love it.

You and I would get along I feel.

Southern US, heard police horse but racehorse is more common. But my family’s was always “gotta piss like a pregnant woman” and “gotta piss so bad my back teeth are floating”

One from my childhood in the south, would occasionally hear the adults say “my ___ hurts worse than a whore’s knees on nickel blowjob day”

Thank you! I’ll start looking into it!

Maybe you can answer one for me, too. I’m not a coder or really great with computers. I use Linux because of the philosophy behind it/political reasons, and because I really love the look and feel of Gnome, and it has just about everything I need. I dual boot Windows in case my college has some program I absolutely have to have, and I’m too dumb to figure out virtual machines and wine.

Do you think Linux phones are ever going to be a viable option for someone like me? I use my phone for browsing Lemmy, gps, streaming/YouTube, audiobooks, et cetera. I don’t have a lot of niche use cases, but I also don’t have a lot of understanding on how to do certain things myself. I can use a terminal if I can copy/paste or have a guide.

I started using Linux in 2008. A friend of mine on an old forum showed me wubi and helped me get set up. When he went AWOL and stopped posting, I went on some Ubuntu forum and asked for help with a problem I was having (WiFi had stopped working randomly). Those people tore me apart and spit on my bloodied corpse. It was brutal. Apparently, I was a disgusting moron for using wubi instead of replacing windows (on my netbook with no disc drive) entirely. It was insane. I’ve since discovered that I’d just found a particularly toxic group by chance, and that most of the community is actually very kind. But at the time, it was genuinely hurtful. I not only stopped asking for help for a long time, I stopped learning about Linux and computers in general because I felt like it was something I’d never understand, I was clearly too stupid to get it.

As a religious person, I will absolutely sleep with your partner while you’re stuck in traffic.

I love a nap. I’m always sleepy, and if you’re stuck in traffic and I’m bored, imma be sleepin.

Question. I am a computer dumb. Is this scary for me? Lol.

10 years ago me and my mom worked jobs from home. I did CenturyLink (phone company) and HSN and QVC. She did dish network, directv and Eddie Bauer. It was easier then to find wfh jobs than it is now. Then it was unusual, but no stigma. Now it’s like you’re an evil clown bent on molesting the village’s sheep if you even suggest it. -_-

God, thank you so much for asking this. It’s been driving me insane, and I didn’t even consider that I could be a togglable feature!

Same. I can’t pick a genre or artist, much one one particular song. I have songs that are meaningful to me, songs I rock out to, songs I relax to, songs I drive to… I could never pick just one, or even just 20. Lol.

Not just a bot attack, but apparently they think we’re not only dumb enough to fall for a bot attack, but so dumb they can just spell out what they’re doing and we can’t even figure out how to screen shot and translate…

I’m not sure if that show had it or not, did you get slimed? My ultimate goal in childhood was to get nickelodeon slimed.

Ahh, thank you. Haha

Gonna just have to admit I do not know what that means. Lol.

Witch/wizard. 100%

One of the main characters in a story in writing is a huldra. Are you Scandinavian, or the only other American that knows wtf they are? Lol

Are you in college, or do you have a friend who is? Often you can sign in through your college’s library for access.

I never read them when I was super young, so I’m mostly well adjusted. Haha. First time was when I was 16, got stoned at a buddy’s place and the power went out. He took a nap, and I read Visser. Lemme tell you, that’s one helluvan introduction to the series.
