  I have a better idea: don’t do that.

  The Dirty One.

  Haven’t you seen the weekly headlines about his “plummeting” poll numbers?? Just ignore the fact that it always “plummets” to the same 42%.

  I like Codeberg better anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'ALL GOT ANY OF THEM HALLOPINERS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, right. Came here to say this. Although of course it’s not the correct word. 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The next time you hear someone say they're just vibing in life without a job, just look at this image.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or they might have broken their back working long hours for 20 years sacrificing to live below their means and build up a big enough stash to be able to vibe for a while and maybe even find something to do that would be meaningful for them and possibly help others. I don’t presume to know anyone else’s history, struggles, or circumstances, and it seems a bit unkind to make assumptions.

  But, probably, yeah. In most cases. I just felt personally attacked because I just left a job I hated, moved to a low cost of living area, massively downsized on housing, and realized I can exist for quite a while without having a job, and can finally try finishing some side projects I never had time for. So, I still work, it’s just that nobody is paying me.

  I got my MBA a couple months before the dot com bubble burst. Tell me about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I live abroad, so I can just ignore the whole stupid thing. 😄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can it take months to get over being laid off?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yah know, I got laid off in 2014 and it still hurts a little.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t had windows for 5 or 6 years when I switched to Mac. But earlier this year I bought a cheap Windows 11 machine because Windows was required for a contract I thought I was going to get (but didn’t). I was going to return it but thought meh it might be nice to have a personal laptop I can play around with. But I was unimpressed with Windows 11 so much that it mostly gathers dust now.

  I’m thinking this is the perfect opportunity to take the plunge into Linux. Has anyone on here used Linux and have any advice?

  Capitalizing on the suffering of others is literally United Health’s entire business model.
