As someone who lived there for decades, nah its Midwest alright. Columbus is way more like Chicago than Philly, though it’s similar to both. I’ll accept Pittsburgh as Midwestern if they want

3.2% on a gaming hardware survey is fucking insane stats for Linux though. Three years ago that wouldn’t have been believable.

Left libertarianism is great and serves as an effective counterbalance to many issues. Right libertarianism is often foolish at best and rarely includes the freedom to do things like live your life as you please

Yeah I worry about the number of men who are growing up to be real weenies who really want to get laid but have no idea how to talk to people they’re attracted to or build a relationship. That’s bad, unlike asexual men who merely don’t find anyone attractive.

Holy shit that’s hilariously bad

I don’t have independence, I have a wife instead. Could I be independent of her? Sure, but we really would rather that not be needed.

If it’s a work device it contains no privacy

Oh shit that first link is exactly something I’ve wanted for years. I’ve been linuxing from gui for a while and would like to know more, especially as I fuck around with my home server

Ain’t that the truth. We were supposed to be better than this and we were supposed to be improving

Because I look at my country and what it’s done and feel insufficient for my failure to keep it from doing stupid and evil things.

Also the European and Canadian frustration with America and Americans is understandable, but it has an impact especially when you still think highly of those places and their people.

Vienna or Vienna with the eiffel tower though? And can’t sleep on Sydney, Canada, and Nancouver

Why wouldn’t they be?

A private business keeps accusing you of operating a meth lab using city water, now they get to sue the city water provider for not cutting you off. That’s basically what this is

Yes, kings who couldn’t pay their debts lost the ability to finance the ability to project force. Sure you can discharge your debts, but eventually the money lenders stop lending. Money is a representation of value and must correlate to the price of labor and goods, otherwise the army starts asking why they don’t have the ability to buy food. A monarch or two can get away with it by kicking the can down the road, but lenders are in the business of making safe bets.

Idk what it means in the UK, but over in America it would mean your guardian angel is kinda hood.

More. Francafrique will likely continue linguistically diverging from French. South Africa, Malaysia, and Scotland are diverging from English/American English. Spanish continues separating into parts.

So yeah maybe they won’t have separated enough to be separate languages yet that soon, but the European imperial languages don’t have the empires that kept them together

Yeah reading your comments in here, idk how you wouldn’t. You sound like you have deep seated self esteem issues especially pertaining to your adhd. I’d even hazard a guess and say you likely have trauma relating to it and how people have responded to it in you. You aren’t alone in this, and I’m calling it out because I’ve struggled with both of these things my entire adult life.

So believe me when I assure you that you cannot resent yourself enough to be better. If it worked it would have worked by now. ADHD is tricky, and you have to learn to be cunning towards it. Charging at the executive dysfunction head on just results in tiring yourself out and resenting yourself further because you couldn’t do what neutotypicals can.

You have a disability, and from the sounds of it you’ve gone a long time without getting much support for it. You’ll probably never function as well as neurotypicals would like, and some of the tasks you’ve described are ones that I struggle with too (my wife and I will ask each other to remind us to do a thing for a 20% chance either remembers). But there is hope for you as a functioning adult and even hope for you to have a happy and mutually satisfying marriage, whether or not your current marriage can be salvaged. But it begins with you pursuing treatment, help, and new strategies not because your wife deserves or needs it, but because you deserve the ability to function better.

Oh I interpreted an tone of sarcasm/indignance

Not according to the US federal government. Biden was in the process of rescheduling but the current guy stopped that. Iirc it was expected to be schedule 3 afterwards

Morphine is schedule 2, as are meth, heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine.

No it doesn’t make sense
