To be fair. Linux starts of super light, but if used as a general OS it becomes the epitome of bloat.

Linux is like buying a car and just getting only the parking space.
If you want to use your car, first you have to install the door and interior package. Then you get inside and have to install the seat package. But the seat has adjustment levers and uses the gear shifter library because it has levers already defined.
Great now you also have a gear shifter too. But it turns out your transmission doesn’t work on the new version of the library so you have to also install an older package in parallel, so now you have 2 gear shifters, no biggie.
Next up is the steering wheel, it uses the wheels package as a dependency (because both are round and can turn) so now you also have all the wheels. But those are summer tires, you need winter tires. You get the winter tire package but it needs an older version of the rim package. Unlucky for you, the download for the older rim package is unavailable, but you’re in luck. Some guy included that version of rims in his completed but unrelated car project. So you clone his car and rebuild the rim package yourself. You now have a whole extra car, but it’s not yours.

By the time you got your one car ready to go, you have installed the parts for 7427 different cars, 27 complete vehicles and read 593 pages of documentation.

No, but it also does fuck’all for people that already are.

I wish Europe had the equivalent of your Ranger Program, where you can actualy experience the land for what it’s for - sights, history and nature.

PS: Don’t move to Germany, this country will amp up your Depression to the point of suicide.

Interesting read, but I think the conclusion is a bit of a stretch. That’s like saying “A car is pre-configured to roll down a hill, even before you put gas in it.”

More fitting would be to say that the absolute baseline of reactive brain activity is much more primitive than we thought.

True, but at that age people are usually mature enough to know what they want. And what they want surely isn’t an romantically inexperienced, socially inept, depressed loner. And if they do, that’s sort of a red flag in itself.

Roughly your age. All my life. Because I my family was poor and moved around alot so I never had the opportunity to develop passions or intrests and was always lagging behind everyone in life. Now that severe depression has manifested itself as constant part of my life, there is no chance for me to ever have a healthy fulfilling relationship without dragging the other person down with me. So I just stay at arms length with everybody.
Also at my age, if heaven’s forbid there is still somebody who’s also single without kids, then just like me, there’s a good (bad) reason for it.

At least I don’t end up as one of those 40 something year old steering head first into their 3rd divorce. I probably won’t even end up as a 40 something year old, period.

PS: I also thought I hated women, but in reality I hated myself - women were just a constant reminder of that. Realistically, I have so little interaction with women, that I have no real reason to have any opinion on them at all.

Have you ever had to much stuff lying around and you thought to yourself “I should really buy some shelves to stow everything away”? Then you get more shelves and after everything is in its place you’re left with some extra empty shelves. Now will those remain empty? No, they will be an invitation to get more stuff and fill that space up.

Same thing goes for rescources. Doubling the rescources doesn’t mean that life will suddenly thrive and everybody will live happily ever after. In a very short time life would also double and you’ll end up with the same problem but way more crowded.

And how does “doubling the rescources” even work? Snapping half the life away is easy, just turn them into dust. But does doubling the water mean rivers overflow, oceans rise? Hydrogen is a rescource, does every star goes supernova because it suddenly has twice the amout of mass?

Doubling the rescources doesn’t make any sense. In the Marvel universe there is probably at least one species that sees at least one element of the periodic table as a “rescource”. You’d essentially have to double the mass of the entire universe which most likely would result in a universal gravitational collapse.

Also what would the lesson be that life takes away from this? That each time life expands beyond its means somebody will come along and give you more rescources? Thanos wanted to teach life the opposite lesson. That living beyond your means will result in a culling instead of a reward. It was his way of solving greed, even if he could’ve used the stones to eradicate greed directly, he is called the “Mad Titan” for a reason.

Thanos is probably purple be because his armor is golden/yellow and purple/yellow are complimentary colors that look good together. Its probably a design choice to make his character more recognizable.

What they heard was:

“I’m not considering giving any money to your competitors.”

So they were probably happy.

The only thing that trickles down are costs.

Independently, as in not counting the income and support from a partner?
I’d say less than 5%.

All cats are girls and all dogs are boys, duh.

I don’t think retail workers care enough. As long as you know the PIN, there’re shouldn’t be any issues.

Here’s the Plan.

Funnel ridiculous amounts of gold back in time and use the wealth it creates to repair Germanies economy to the point where facism doesn’t develop.
Meanwhile create a secret treasury system that keeps track of all the gold and when the time comes buys as much of it back as possible. Then the bought back gold is used to send it back in time creating a self sufficient solution to the problem.

Hollywood, I take checks and PayPal.

…

Wait that’s just Tennet with extra steps, shit.

No, but apparently I have one of the only WiFi/Bluetooth chip of MediaTek Corps. MT Series that is inexplicably not supported. Most others of that lineup are, just this exact one isn’t.

The MT7902 WiFi/Bluetooth Chip by Mediatek Corp. does not (and probably never will) have any official driver support. There are some unsuccessful community attempts to get it working, but nobody actually managed to pull it off.

G6 Soundcard works for simple pass-through but SBX features aren’t natively enabled, you need a Windows install with Soundblaster Connect to enable the functionality and load the settings into the onboard memory of the card.
Linux “supports” Dolby Atmos but it sound mostly like dogwater if not combined with Atmos mixed audio.

I extremely am.

Look, I’m a freak who loves having nightmares, but that’s beside the point. But the last time I had a dream I didn’t like, it was one where I was being chewed out in front of the whole class for being late to a lab class in college. Actually made me wake up early and start getting my shit together.

I recommend playing them in order, you can Import your save file from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3, carrying over narrative choices you’ve made. Also you get really good (and well earned) starting gear if you import the save.

The first one, while being ultra mega jank has some of the best writing out of any game I evet played. Choices really matter in this game and the game really respects your time for doing your homework whether it be monster hunting or investigations. It has more than the usually bad side, good side choice, characters can die because of your decisions (or even lack of). If you can see past babies first attempt of a combat system, the first Witcher game is amazing.
