  It’s responses like these that people reference when arguing against gender rights. It’s a pedantic point that just makes people think you’re acting like a douche.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do other female mammals smell like fish down there or is that exclusive to women?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can smell someone’s vagina, including your own, while standing, you should get that checked out. Perfume is not used to mask any smells, it’s to add smell as an accessory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sending someone LLM output in response to a question they ask is the intellectual equivalent of sending an unsolicited dick pic.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The only time it’s been kind of relevant in my dealings is the Arch wiki, because it really is a solid resource. However, sometimes my issue is a specific one and I need more than general information on a process. RTFM ruins communities when someone is looking for support. It’s just an entitled response to someone asking for help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally don’t believe emojis should exist in professional documents. I’m not a hiring manager, but if I saw an application with emojis, I would think it wasn’t taken seriously, and would probably not even give it a full read.

  When there is text with emojis, it makes it hard to read for me. My brain stops to interpret what’s going on and it breaks my flow and concentration on the text.

  This is my opinion entirely, and it looks like some others would accept emojis, but just know there are people like me out there, and others that are worse. I don’t think that emojis will elevate your chances of success, but are more likely to hurt them if anything. It depends on your risk tolerance and necessity to get a new job

  I was a subscriber from DVD rentals up until they blocked password sharing and raised their prices for the umpteenth time. They’re not Amazon bad, but they’re dead to me. They will never see another penny from me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Here it is normal. Most of us do recognize that it shouldn’t be though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still true in that the bill can go back and forth between the hospital and insurance and change.

  I had a surgery about 5 years ago that started at about $45k, and every couple of days got the bill would change as things started getting picked up by insurance. Eventually it got down to just over $4k. I waited about a month and then still had to call insurance because my annual out of pocket was capped at $2k and they didn’t take that into account. Eventually it ended right around $1500.

  This was all through the MyChart app, so it more it less does live updating after the initial bill is sent, opposed to a paper bill. Now I always wait about a month to pay any medical bills just to be sure, because if you over pay, you have to fight to get it back from insurance.

  Speed and bandwidth correlate but aren’t the same. Bandwidth is the amount of data that can pass through a medium and speed is the transmission rate. If you have a gig connection and one device, you can get close to gig speeds. If you have the same gig connection with 1000 devices saturating the medium, you aren’t likely to get gig speeds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am surprised that no one has started selling shell headphones for sleeping.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shells have edges, but I’ve never seen one that’s sharp. I think this shower thought more implies the shells are stored off you face and there’s a buffer between skin and shell, butt one could also get shells large enough to go over the ear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am surprised that no one has started selling shell headphones for sleeping.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, that would be the opposite. The noise captured and muddled in the shell is what gives the effect of hearing the ocean. Lose your ears and you remove some of that echo chamber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am surprised that no one has started selling shell headphones for sleeping.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still works but the sound quality is shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they different shapes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I took a trip to Tahiti a couple years back, which is a French territory. Baguettes everywhere. Fellows sold sandwiches with baguettes as the bun. French toast was day old baguettes and phenomenal. Sometimes you just ate baguettes and saw people riding their mopeds with a bag of baguettes. It’s versatile and great.

  Reaper is native Linux support too. I’m very very much a novice in audio production, but using yabridge you can import most plugin models as well. I don’t know that getting something like neural DSP is possible, at least stable though.

  You fasted for half a day, and then ate shit food of no substance. Eat something that has nutrients in it, eat more calories, and if need be, shorten the gap between meals.

  My mother told me a story about how once my uncle was in school and the teacher told him to go out and cut a switch, which is just a thin stick good for whipping with. He cried, went out and got one, came back, and it turned out it was for someone else. This would have been the 60s or 70s maybe. My mom also mentioned that the typing (typewriter) teacher would smack fingers with a ruler when mistakes were made. This was a public school.

  So yea, definitely a real thing that happened.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably that too, but specifically the ability to spin up a private space to communicate with people for things like video games. Anyone that’s using it as their means of customer service is an idiot.

  Apparently I struck a chord with my post, so I’m curious what is better than discord, and free that made my statement controversial?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord in discussions of going Public Trading, economics expert discusses how that might change things⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the best at what it does, but had been getting shitty in the way you described. However, it’s free and they have to support it somehow. I’ll put up with the nitro pushing and understand that’s my cost of doing business. If they go public, I’ll probably actively start looking for an alternative, because that always kills a product and it will for sure mean “AI” will be forced into it.

  I want to reenforce the other response you got with yes to all of you questions. I use steam and discord daily on my Linux install. I don’t use blender, but as mentioned is was developed for Linux, so should have no issues. If you have an old laptop or something around, try flashing on a distro and give it a whirl. Otherwise you may be able to get something dirt cheap on Craigslist if you want to have a lengthy try without configuring a dual boot, running off the install drive, or nuking your current setup.

  I went all in on mine fairly blind and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in a couple of years. Go with something more stable if you’re hesitant or not well versed in computers and terminal. I went Arch because I wanted to force myself to learn more about how Linux is built and operates. It took me a full day to get loaded to a desktop mostly reading the wiki and deciding what items I wanted and how I wanted them configured. Linux 10 years ago is so different from the current versions, so if you’ve tried it before with issue, forget that experience and treat it as a first time experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof yea. I can see how that’s missed. Knowing it’s there, I kind of like the minimalist design. Not ideal for a new user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s weird, and sticks you had that experience. I should take a step back and say that I haven’t used a lot of different districts, including Debian. What I have experienced though, was either a star menu like button either in the bottom left, to left, or a floating dock.

  I went full in on Arch when I made my permanent switch a couple of years back to make myself really learn more rather than just plug and play. That may be skewing my perspective some. However, I did throw mint on an old laptop that I have to my brother, and I was shocked that everything was exactly ready to go after install. Libre office, browser, other useful tools, updates, etc. I spent more time verifying things than configuring them and just passed it off.

  I know that at least when I install kde in Arch, there are a few different build options from fully loaded to no extra apps. Perhaps with Debian there is a similar selection and you grabbed something stripped down rather than fully loaded? I’m not sure, but it’s good to hear this stuff to check my ignorance when discussing this with people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t truly understand things like this. Most DE’s are similar enough to Windows that anyone who’s spent a minute on a computer should be able to intuitively get to a web browser to surf the web. That’s what most people do. Word processing and the likes is tough since most are ingrained in Office, but something like (pukes in mouth) Google sheets is decently popular and good enough for most people.

  If you give most someone a computer with a browser and auto updates, they’ll be able to do almost everything they are already doing on Windows with minimal thought.

  There are exceptions, but those people suck at Windows already, so it’s a moot point. If you can’t find the start menu in Windows, it doesn’t matter what OS you’re using.

  As everyone has said, bad idea. But I honestly don’t think it will work, at least not well. I grew up with wood burners and enjoyed many open fireplaces, but the majority of your smoke is just going to go up the flu and out the chimney. There are poor choices you could make to mitigate that loss, but they’re just that, poor choices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, but the money has to come from somewhere. Athletes generate the money they are paid, and they generate a lot so they get paid accordingly.

  I don’t think that we are equating profit generated as value. It’s just a fact that athletes make lots of money because they generate it.

  I think that what should happen is that the organizations/teams that are making billions should be taxed higher or something equivalent and those funds should go to under paid professionals like teachers. But, I don’t think that athletes should make less because there’s enough extra profits that both can exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Athletes that have spent thousands of hours training their whole lives to be the some of best in the world at their craft, generate billions of dollars doing their job. Why shouldn’t they get paid well from that pool of billions?

  Teachers, nurses, etc should get paid more, but their professions don’t generate the same kind of revenue as the entertainment industry, so that money has to come from some other source, like the government.
