As does I googled Chromium
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 1 day ago:
It blocks the first number.
I just block all numbers not in my contact list using SpamBlocker.
- Comment on The word Chav is still being used by British people, when it's derogatory shorthand for working class lads and it's not even subtle... 1 day ago:
Yawn.
You and this again? Grow up
- Comment on Gen Z says finding love is too expensive 3 days ago:
Either that title is crap or people are confused.
- Comment on If you could use a Rube Goldberg like contraption on any task you find extremely strenuous, what would it be? 3 days ago:
You can’t do anything, she has to choose to make changes.
As someone struggling with this for decades, I see what she’s doing. BTDT.
For me it’s always been if something gets moved it may as well not exist. She is struggling to do the work necessary to produce an organized result, because (in the moment) folding laundry is more overwhelming.
There’s a book I highly recommend called ADHD and Adults (I forget the author), that’s really insightful about how ADHD manifests differently I adults than children. While looking for that book I found this page and the one titled Dirty Laundry gave me a chuckle given this post.
Also check out How to ADHD on YouTube. For anyone who’s just starting to understand ADHD, she does a good job helping people see it from a better perspective.
As a partner of someone with ADHD who’s developed coping strategies, helping her is a tall order. She has to want to work on something, it has to promise big rewards for small change, and she has to really want to do it. That’s a lot for someone with ADHD.

Well, yea, here you are acting like you’re special for leaving reddit.
Get lost.

Oh it’s mean, but siblings are like wolves, we gotta toughen each other up.

Rough crowd.
Are you one of my siblings? I feel so at home.
- Comment on I tore my meniscus, and the American healthcare system conditioned me to ignore it until today. I move to my new apartment tomorrow. 6 days ago:
There’s no American Healthcare System - there are numerous medical systems, insurance approaches, etc.
I say this as someone who’s used numerous healthcare insurance models.
The worst are HMO. Those are the kind of systems most people rail about.
If you have PPO insurance, getting something addressed is much easier as those doctors are independent and not beholden to a bureaucratic system, so can operate as scientists, not party-line holders.
- Comment on Would it be offensive for me to wear bonnets as a white person? 1 week ago:
What?
- Comment on AI-generated stories rated better quality than human-written ones, study finds 1 week ago:
AI text can be very hard or nearly impossible to deteft from human generated, at times, depending in the model used.
It’s rather surprising.
- Comment on Could machines develop consciousness just like we did? 1 week ago:
Define consciousness.
- Comment on How do I make the most out of a mediocre laptop? 2 weeks ago:
Uggh, yea, you’re in a tough spot. I wouldn’t try running that stuff under Wine - it would be really painful and probably end up as bad an experience as just using Windows.
- Comment on Someone tell me this is AI. I can't believe there are people like this out there... 2 weeks ago:
Idiots
- Comment on Anon orders a martini 2 weeks ago:
Shaking makes it colder (in my experience) and done well can produce this nice, very fine, ice crystal/frosty layer on top.
I like a nice ice-cold gin martini - this works well with the juniper in gin.
- Comment on Hey jackass, this is why trucks with large tires are supposed to have mud flaps. 2 weeks ago:
No, it isn’t.
Cops just don’t enforce it
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 2 weeks ago:
Yes.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 2 weeks ago:
And what you know is so wrong, lol.
Mobile Himes or Manufactured Homes are built in shops, but even with those the interiors can be vastly different.
Interior design is a thing, which makes every house different inside.
And the type of house in Home Alone definitely isn’t a manufactured home or even one built in a development where there are only 3 models, but a very old, custom-built house.
- Comment on I know it's ridiculous to say, but why don't women from the continent of Africa date black American men? 2 weeks ago:
There’s no stupid questions, then there’s beyond stupid.
“What color is a yellow card”
- Comment on Do americans living in Red States really despise american living in Blue States? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, entire states think one way.
Apparently there are stupid questions.
- Comment on I know it's ridiculous to say, but why don't women from the continent of Africa date black American men? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe an IQ test too?
- Comment on I know it's ridiculous to say, but why don't women from the continent of Africa date black American men? 2 weeks ago:
They don’t?
Is there a study of this that I missed?
- Comment on Why Everyone Hates PETA (it's astroturfing) 2 weeks ago:
I hate peta because they’re hypocritical pet-stealing and murdering assholes.
- Comment on How do I make the most out of a mediocre laptop? 2 weeks ago:
Others have recommended Linux, and for such a machine I generally agree with them.
The question is how do you intend to use this machine? Are there any Windows-based apps that are critical for you? That will help drive this decision.
Even of there are, you may be better off running those apps under Wine (if possible), and switching to Linux equivalents as much as you can.
Tell us how you intend to use this machine, any apps you currently use. Then we can recommend OSS equivalents.
- Comment on How do I make the most out of a mediocre laptop? 2 weeks ago:
This is an excellent use-case for Linux - low spec machine.
Swap is generally decently setup in Windows by default these days. Manually configuring now doesn’t gain much, like it did prior to about Windows 7.

Women scream in real life too - every woman is different.

Because it’s not sex, so you’re not excited, blood flow hasn’t increased, natural lubrication hasn’t increased, muscles haven’t relaxed naturally.
- Comment on How Come Latin Didn't Spread in the Middle East as Much as it did in Europe? 3 weeks ago:
Lots of great comments in here (I’ve really enjoyed it all, so great question!)
If you decide to dig in a little deeper, there’s a great podcast called The History English Podcast by Kevin Stroud.
While it’s the history of English, since you can’t separate English from Latin (plus the other P.I.E languages) nor from history itself, he ends up covering a lot of general history and languages.
