  • I’m increasingly critical of my parents beating the shit out of me as a child and then saying that it hurt them more than it hurt me. I found that I had negative reactions to when my body slammed against the wall and was skeptical that I would survive when I then fell four feet onto my stomach, smashing my favorite toy car and briefly passing out.

    A poll finds 35% of me approves of the way I’ve turned out, while 57% of me disapproves of having been beaten and thrown around as a child. Negative ratings of my upbringing are up from 49% before I started writing this comment.

    We are living in a fucking abusive nightmare and, while I get that it’s important to track sentiment if we want to change hearts and minds, but why the media still talking about this shit like it’s perfectly normal??

    the way Musk is handling his job in the Trump administration

    Fucking seriously??? “Handling his job”??? What job role is he filling?! What’s his official capacity??!! He’s not doing “his job,” he’s partaking in a dictatorial coup. Last I checked, “Data Destroying Deporter” wasn’t a governmental job title, so quit talking about it like it is!

    Ask the right questions! I want to see a poll with what percentage of Americans are aware that Elon’s cronies got access to the nuclear codes, threatened other employees, are destroying every means of funding for our nation’s elderly and most vulnerable, and are building centralized databases to create a Big Brother government with zero accountability. After that, tell me how many people approve.





  • Just from the handful of OSs I’ve tried, I’d suggest Ubuntu desktop again.

    As for docker, I’d say to get docker and docker compose setup. Once you’re running in docker compose, adding machines is often as simple as editing some markup in a text editor.

    But my final suggestion is to crawl before you walk before you run. Start slow in the terminal. Instead of using your file explorer, navigate directories using the terminal and then open the directory you need into the file explorer using the terminal.

    Want a new file? Use touch. Want a new directory? Use mkdir. Eventually, it’ll become annoying to open a file from your explorer when you could just open it from the terminal. Then, you’ll get annoyed with text editors and want to reduce your context switches by using vim.

    Also, --help is your best friend when trying to figure out commands. You got this! Feel free to send me a message if you wanna chat and have any questions when you’re ready to start dipping your toes. I’m far from an expert, but I’ve made some progress of my own and eventually we might learn a thing or two together.








  • This is one of the things I’ve hated most about this country for as long as I can remember. “Poor” is worse than “dead.” Not just because of the stigmas American society places on destitution, but because money equals value.

    In the United States you have to be able to afford dignity. If you’ve got enough money when you die, you can die with dignity. But when you’re poor, you’re forced to live without dignity and are made to die without dignity.

    A dead person with money is still a person. But a poor person, living or dead, is a lazy drug-addicted insect.
