LOL Mike Tysons bare ass.
I was at a Buffalo Wild Wings early enough before the fight that I saw it, the place was full and the whole place cheered when we saw the cake.
Also, the entire place emptied as soon as the fight ended.

I’m sorry y’all, every time I try to do something significant to improve my life, life comes by and kicks my teeth in.
I started a full stack bootcamp a few months ago, now I should probably spend my time working, saving money and going through paperwork hell to reclaim citizenship in an EU country and getting the fuck out (I definitely can, I just don’t want to go into detail). Maybe I’ll try to do uni in Ireland in a few years?

pretend whatever game in question you’re thinking of is handled with the utmost care by your favourite devs and they absolutely nail it.
Crash Team Racing. :(

Most of us just use a stall. But the shake it off and stick it back in your underwear move is the move with these things, and it’s about as gross as when the cis guys do it, lol.
- Comment on Blessica Blimpson 3 weeks ago:
I think that kid (probably fictitious) would get bullied regardless, Blimpson is an extremely unfortunate last name. To the best of my memory, Jessica Simpson was never that cringe, it’s less of a problem… or it would be if Blessica wasn’t an awful name.

Standing to pee is a learned skill. Trans guys who buy a stand to pee device are all recommended to practice in the shower first.

They already ruined pineapple decor, now you’re telling me they also stole kitschy lawn flamingos? Noo, I like my tacky lawn flamingos.

By the standards of US and Canadian politics, yeah we’re to the left of center. But “center” has been dragged to the right so far that it’s prompting this whole argument. The Overton window had shifted so far that liberalism - which, in a current context, supports relatively unregulated capitalism and trickle down economics - there’s a whole swath of political ideologies that’s basically nonexistent within our modern day electoral politics. I’m somewhere in the anarchist range and choose to engage with electoral politics - if they chose to participate within the context of a FPTP voting system with two options, we’d find ourselves voting for the same candidate despite our likely highly differing political beliefs. In many countries that left wing is less smashed, the range of political discourse is much wider.
Shit just works is to the left side of, but comfortably within, the current Canadian Overton window. In a global sense, the instance is kinda to the right, in the same way that Bernie Sanders is moderate by western European standards.

Well, he’s been (falsely) rumored to have died in the war in Ukraine, so he clearly didn’t die from the incident.

It’s unclear who the “they” are that Greene is referring to in this scenario.
It might be Democrats, or maybe it’s the same people running the space lasers. Or does she maybe think those are the same groups? Or… you know what, I think I’m happier not knowing how her tiny mind works.

Steam is actually pretty decent, by company standards.

Beat me to it. I had a sex wax car air freshener for a while, common enough in Florida but I’m sure it confused people here in Minnesota.

- Comment on Keeping it retro, even when it comes to downloading your C64 games. | Tom's Hardware 2 months ago:
Based on my experience with a modded 3ds, many people are willing to spend a few extra minutes on transferring data if they can avoid annoyances with juggling physical media. Unless there’s a common USB mod for the C64, propping your phone up to your C64 for a few minutes might have some appeal from a convenience perspective.

Got an extra USB stick and an old laptop kicking around you’re okay with wiping? Ideally 4GB RAM but 2GB would be okay. Start with Linux Mint and follow their installation guide - verifying the ISO image in Windows is probably the toughest part.
Or make absolutely certain you’re on the official Mint website, torrent it and don’t bother checking, I’m not your mother. “Who the f**k checks those anyway?” (Mint hasn’t been hacked since, but it’s part of why they’re pushing verifying, they know that their users have been targeted before. Also if something goes wrong with the download the install will fail and you’ll waste more time than if you just checked.)
If you don’t have a spare computer, a live USB can let you try Linux without making changes to your computer, but it’s going to be slow - a proper install is going to be a much nicer experience. If you’re okay without persistence (ie you can’t change anything or install additional programs for the next time you boot into it), just follow the Linux Mint website’s installation guide and stop before the actual install step. For persistence, try this method instead, but you really don’t want to use it long term, USB sticks aren’t designed for this.
Once you’ve tried it live and you think you like the desktop environment, but if you’re not sure you’re ready to fully commit, if your computer has an extra slot for an SSD you could buy a second one and dual boot, that’s what I did. (Dual booting on the same drive is doable but more of a headache, and even on a different drive Windows doesn’t always play nicely.)
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
Bazzite, it’s based on immutable Fedora. But it made sense for my use case because it’s one of the more consistent at working out of the box with Nvidia graphics cards and I wanted the gaming stuff, but Plasma should be more or less the same everywhere. I’m not sure which version of Plasma it’s running but Bazzite is generally pretty up to date with everything but I can’t check right now.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
Windows 10 is being supported until next October, you’ve got more than a month. That said, I’ve been on Linux for just over a month and I’m so much happier with it. I really like KDE Plasma as a desktop environment. I made the leap because I was unhappy with Windows, but at this point I genuinely prefer Linux.
