  I mean things used to make more “sense” time and energy wise when you were able to have one parent work and one parent stay home. But it’s just not really financially feasible nowadays. The people I know with kids are absolutely fucking drowning right now trying to both work and take care of the home life. I feel bad for them but there’s not much I can do about it. It’s not my family.

  I don’t blame them. I hate working out but I do it anyway. Also I love junk food. What am I really doing

  I am amused but I also don’t really think I get it. Am I dumb

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another treasure stolen from us⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I always have. The PS2 only fits 2 cards. Did you only ever have 2 cards? If you had more than 2 then where did you put the rest?

  So far I’ve tried Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Pop OS. Although I only briefly tried Pop OS. Didn’t stick around long enough to see if it would have issues as well. There were other issues with that one that I can’t quite remember…I think it was that often the OS would decide not to boot. Something about a weird compatibility issue with the BIOS or something.

  The basic mouse features work, stupid. It’s the gesture features that don’t work, stupid. No one has come up with good support for anything other than basic mouse features on Linux, stupid.

  Like I said, my computer no longer has BSODs in Windows after some settings I changed.

  I do remember when I first got the laptop, it was frustrating because it would BSOD with relative frequency. I was very frustrated with the manufacturer…because the laptop would always pass hardware benchmark tests and the BSODs were random, so they refused to look at it under warranty.

  I don’t think I have ever tried that particular set of texts before, though. I tried googling it…is it the one by Pass Mark? If so, I’ll check it out, thanks.

  Re: hanging in Linux…no, the system would completely freeze up and never recover until I manually powered down the system. Interestingly, I found some other users stating that they had this issue with Firefox because of some resources issue or something. So I planned to try to switch to Chrome, but got frustrated with the features mouse not being compatible anyway. So I left it at that.

  Wouldn’t surprise me, but the point was that it’s fixable in Windows but not the Linux distro I have tried.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plug and play essentially means “it just works”. Like as simple as plugging in a USB mouse and using it. When something isn’t plug and play, it means it takes a bit of fiddling with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t get the more elaborate functions of my common Logitech mouse to work properly. And Linux systems like to cause my computer to periodically hang for some reason. In Windows, it used to BSOD, and I managed to fix the issue in Windows but it seems impossible for me to fix in Linux because of how vague of an issue it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in a similar boat. My computer meets all of the other requirements like TPM and whatnot, yet they are arbitrarily deciding that my processor is too old. And for some reason you can walk into your local computer store and buy a laptop with the shittiest processor and other specs possible that somehow runs Windows 11. Just because the processor on the new shitbox was manufactured more recently. Ridiculous.

  You’d think that every place should do this, but for whatever reason a lot of them do weird shit like in the OP. Not sure why that is. Maybe they are afraid of the characters running too long or something like that for people with long names?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Basic courtesy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk. I put my cart back but I have heard an occasional decent argument why someone wouldn’t.

  One of the biggest ones is a single parent shopping alone with one or multiple very small children. I get that ideally the cart corral probably isn’t super far away, but leaving small kids alone for even a short period of time must be nerve wracking and not always safe depending on the area and climate.

  I meant I’d rather eat alone!!! Dunno wtf happened there!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eaten’ on the roof⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I might be more comfortable eating with a giant stuffed mascot as opposed to eating alone.

  It’s simple, really. There’s something about falling back asleep in the morning that feels so incredibly amazing. I swear it’s like some sort of drug or intoxicant. But simply waking up later without snoozing doesn’t give me a pleasurable feeling.
