Not hearing the difference is absolutely a thing. I took a university class on the nature of language and I still have clear memories of some of the example videos we watched when we studied the phenomenon. It’s a very “how is this possible” kind of feeling.
Iirc it just depends on the language(s) you spoke while developing. You could probably hear the difference when you were very little.
And unfortunately, some weapons only work on the power. Like insurance hoops and red tape to delay or deny necessary health care.
Mint: come for the ease of installation and use, stay because it’s just Ubuntu and Debian under the hood so it has tons of support, and the terminal is right there if you need to out so some real shit.
I think mine doesn’t roll off the tongue in quite the same way.
Don’t underestimate the value of the “I’m going to wander outside for a couple minutes” break on your well being!
I’m sitting here realizing that my big hobby project of the past few years — a koi pond in my back yard — is essentially a reason to just go outside and chill.
Mint is basically Ubuntu without the controversial bits.
Plus the “lake lovers” should probably be extended over to at least include the city that shares a name with one of those lakes. (Erie, PA)
Gates was the guy nerds were supposed to hate decades ago because Microsoft and billionaire. But that feels fun and innocent compared with today where the billionaires are actively trying to destroy society and ruin people’s lives as opposed to just exploiting them for their labor.
Well yeah. If you’re ready to kill some fool then marijuana-ing once might not be enough.
Marijuana: maybe twice or thrice!
You need your knives, CHECK!
If you want a baby that’s relatively healthy, adoption can be an absolute nightmare. If anybody ever says to adoptive parents that they got their kid the “easy way,” it made them sound profoundly ignorant. It’s one of those life experiences where you learn about a whole shitty world that exists right under the surface that most people are blissfully unaware of. That includes adoption, fostering, child protective services, and all that crap.
The only reason my wife and I have a biological kid is because the adoption process drove us to give it one more try with a new doctor in parallel. If we happened to adopt AND conceive, then fine. Instant family.
But here we are with a 7 year old only child that’s biologically ours, not adopted. We might start fostering in the next few years though.
Well of course they don’t say that. They have negative sounding terms like the old “bleeding heart liberal,” because as every good conservative knows it is weakness and foolishness to give a shit about other people.
I guess today they would just go for woke. It’s short and meaningless, but it started out being used by minorities so again every good conservative knows it’s a bad thing and a killer insult.
Ooh do they offer this in a multi-pack with the “Everything I Don’t Like is Woke (this engine is woke)” book?
Being convinced to give a shit about other people just shows that you’re gullible, to them.
My plan to “do better” in my life involves being very different from him and not striving to be the more rich and powerful shithead that takes his place.
Unfortunately he has similar real-world experience to trump’s: Be a total shitbag and get handsomely rewarded by it in the ways he cares about. I mean why care about being a horrible husband and father when there’s money and fame to be had?
I’m not going to defend Apple against being broken up, but those other companies are on a whole different level when it comes to invasion of privacy.
Hello friend! Have you heard the Minty News?
More like “we” love awesome video game music.
I might have to give that one a try.
My work machine with mint has an Intel iGPU and a discrete nvidia one and things seem pretty good, but I don’t really play games on it.
This is so great to see, and the timing is perfect.
My son already calls the PC Steam, as in “we played game A on Xbox and game B on Steam,” so maybe by the time he has a PC in his room Steam really will run the whole platform.
