I once knew a guy named Harry Hooker

How come? I’ve been out of the open source loop recently

Question that might sound dumb.

Were they actually this vibrant back then or were they made more vibrant to make up for limitations of a CRT?

You must not be outside then

In the communities where this music is popular, there are definitely a lot of classic songs coming out that aren’t just background noise, and they actually turn up the clubs.

To people outside of these communities it might seem like they only survive 5 years, but if you’re inside you’ll recognize patterns in songs that keep coming up and that people listen to the most. That’s what really makes them classics, not just random people on Lemmy deeming them as such.

Bad bunny, El Alfa, Tokischa, Chucky73, RaiwAlejandro, and Daddy Yankee have all been relasing songs that the community will remember for a long time and deem classics. Reggaeton is going through a second, smaller, golden age and it will be remembered.

Your comment sounds a bit racist ngl

I didn’t know this. Do you like it?

Simple ≠ intuitive

For better or for worse, the widespread methods are not at all similar to the methods sometimes used in Linux. It’s just a fact that most people are accustomed to different ways

The same MFs on here that rush to tell someone that Linux is easy and intuitive are the same ones that can’t keep a small talk conversation for more than 5 mins, a social activity that humans have been doing for thousands of years.

My words might be a little broad, harsh, and even hurtful, but just a reminder that not all of us are good at learning the same things.

We didn’t all come out of the womb knowing how to socialize or use Linux, but if we look back far enough, we can all relate to the struggles it takes to learn something new, and how much it sucks when someone treats you like you’re stupid just because things sometimes don’t click

I have a couple from the a warehouse job I worked at when I was 16. That place was wild lmao

• Fired from unplugging security cameras to charge his phone
• 30yo man harassing a 17yo girl
• That man’s wife fighting the 17yo girl for “flirting” with her husband even though she wasn’t
• Got on top of some shelves and took a nap. These shelves are really tall and you need a lift to get on top of them

These weren’t on their first day, but I thought they are worth mentioning

• Racing during lunch in the parking lot
• 10+ person brawl in the parking lot over a guy stealing another guy’s girlfriend
• A guy left his keys in his car so another guy just broke the window. He said he thought it was funny and that he got the bit from a movie, tv, or comedian or something
• A couple people got caught taking lunch on top of the shelves in a corner because the lunchroom was too loud. They also had a bed up there made up bubble wrap and yoga mats
• Going full speed into a door with a forklift while the forks were fully lifted
• Doing BMX tricks off the truck dock. I think people were riding skateboards off it too but I can’t remember 100%

That’s all the entertaining ones I can think of right now lol

It really is difficult. I feel for people who have had food addiction since chikdhood. Or any othet unhealthy habit

Hmm I think that for a lot of people, it wasn’t a choice to get fat. I know a lot of kids who are already obese and they aren’t even in their teens.

However, I do think it’s a choice once you’ve realized it and have the ability to actually do something about it.

Kinda related but unrelated: it irks me when someone comments how easy it is for me to be skinny, bc it isn’t. As a previously underweight person, I think gaining and losing weight are just as hard. I had to control my diet, work out, and have a lot of self control to not lose the habits I was building. I folded and stagnated a lot, and yeah it was demotivating but I still had to make a choice to keep going.

I loved Darkwood and Soccer Kids looks like fun. I will probably try it out later tonight. The art style reminds me of fifa street

This is a me problem, but it makes me cringe when someone has to explicitly write out who they are onto a sign.

I feel like that should be shown and not said. To me, it feel ingenuous when it’s written onto a sign

I agree most of the time, but when I have to sign a sympathy card at work for someone i barely know, what the hell am i supposed to say?

I can’t change the work culture so i just say something generic like that most of the time lol

Btw I’m not even religious

Do you by chance have a link to the article? I relate to your comment a lot so I might be in a similar situation

Not only that, but it slows down discussion and more niche/focused topics are often missed

This is a little outdated, but this spreadsheet has a lot of good stores. I would also check out /r/fashionreps and search for unbranded. Might find some cool stores.

Same. There is a certain comfort I get from adult animated shows I can’t get from anything else lol

I definitely felt that. It’s demotivating to feel like you’re being looked down upon for trying to learn an OS that they themselves promote so much

I tried installing Zorin amd Pop_OS on my laptop, but the mousepad gestures, bluetooth, speakers, and a bunch of other small things didn’t work.

I just don’t have the time to tinker with it. I have an hour or two of free time a day and it’s hard to convince myself to spend it trying to get linux to work whenever I have windows that just works.

Plus, i found that people just weren’t helpful. Unlike some people, i didn’t come out of the womb knowing how linux works. I did research and fixed what i could, but some things i could’t fix. People were rude, condesending, and just not helpful whenever i would ask a question

Just not worth it for me at this moment

Bitwarden and firefox

I sont use it but blender is another one
