We get in a fight at a tripple crossroads. He dies. Then I go back to his kingdom and marry his wife. Little did I know she was my mother and he was my father...

My coworkers had a hard time picking resturaunts, so I started recommending McDonald's for work parties, and then everyone else started chiming in with actually good ideas.

What are some things you wish you had known when switching to Linux? by Cwilliams in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Don't just "deal with it". Windows has brainwashed people into thinking that there is only one way to do a thing.
