  I agree, especially don’t cheap out on the mask, that stuff will fuck up your lungs real good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You know how some medications numbs your emotions... so what happens if you're on those medications and you receive news of a close family member dying, do you like... not have any emotions over it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Personal experience: yes, the medication they put me on when i was suicidal and stayed at a psychiatric ward numbs you emotionally, which would also mean that the emotional response to awful news is very muted. I did not feel nothing, but it’s a bit like the effect of noise cancelling headphones, but for emotions.

  I was not happy about that at that time, but it made functioning and working in therapy a hell of a lot easier compared to the dumpster fire of emotions i had to deal with before that.

  And everyone reacts differently to bad news - damn, when my sister was in an car accident where she got pretty hurt, her first reaction was to laugh her ass off, and then hurling abuse at the medics during the whole ambulance ride.

  Sad that they don’t mail stuff, i’d need a few household items currently, and if they were star trek themed, well that would be awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switching from openSUSE Tumbleweed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would recommend Nobara, which has a Nvidia-specific installation and comes from Glorious Eggroll (the GE in GE-Proton). Bazzite is also a fine choice. Both are based on Fedora.

  I wouldn’t choose Debian for gaming if you can help it - Debian chooses stability instead of gaming as focus, which is fine for servers, but not for your usecase.

  But to be honest, I don’t think openSuse is the reason for your issues - the probability is high that it’s an issue with Proton or the Nvidia drivers. Try posting logfiles!

  But at least they are building a tool to export the rooms into unity which will be available in a week - that is more than most live service games do

  This is also used as nail polish to make children stop chewing nails.

  I actually loved the taste of that stuff - it made it worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the laws aim for social media, so the 2 bit solution should be enough for most legislation. I would propose an “Birthday” field for legislations where an exact date is needed (which shouldn’t be, because it’s allowing every tracker to identify the DoB) and the “2 bits” for the rest. In my country the ages are 16 for drinking beer/voting and 18 for “mature"/hard liquors/tobacco.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I grew up with DOS games - Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Defender of the Crown, Hanse, Strike Commander and Wing Commander, Aces of the Pacific, Flight Simulator 3, Stunts3D, Hot Rod - Those are the games that showed me what unlimited amount of worlds can be inside of a computer. System Shock 1 didn’t hook me (but the remake has), first time playing System Shock 2 and Thief blew my mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am very anti-age-verification laws, because they tend to be pro-identification-laws. But adding a simple field signifying the age of the current user is probably as good as it gets, although i would have preferred a single-bit-solution (of age/not of age) or at max 2 bits (<14, <16, <18, of age). Using this to go after Systemd again is a) not gonna work, because it’s here to stay and b) i am very interested in how others will implement the legal requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German man says american are savages⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That was actually accounted for by the study.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German man says american are savages⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would take that with a grain of salt, since the study here says it only deals with death inside of the hospital (which is what is expected of a system encouraging the individual to flee the expensive place as soon as possible):

  Considering the markedly lower length of stay in U.S. hospitals, it seems likely that more deaths following AMI occur after hospital discharge in the U.S., compared to Germany. This assumption is supported by recent OECD publications, which also report U.S. 30-day AMI mortality based on linked data. This figure was at 9.3% in the year 2020, compared to 4.9% when based on unlinked data. For Germany, national 30-day AMI mortality figures based on linked data are not available to date. In other industrialized countries reporting both figures, the difference between mortality based on unlinked data and mortality based on linked data was not as pronounced as in the U.S.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree on this. I just commented on my AvPD, which makes social contacts … complicated (just look in my comment history).

  I haven’’t been without a partner since i was 18. Im 46 now, and newly out of a relationship (but we had a good run). I never actually tried to flirt with anyone. The only thing i really did is to listen well, make appropriate compliments and give my input. I don’t even look good, I’ve been a fat fuck since childhood and a nerd on top.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been told the same thing from my aunt, which moved into the countryside with her newlywed husband long ago. She only got to get friends after her firstborn got into school - the 8 years until that time were very isolating, even with work contacts.
