There's a couple new things being worked on; namely, Wayback and Phoenix.

Cognitive behavioral therapy/dialectical behavioral therapy are not the universal cure for everything and they need to stop being treated as such

OK but the point of ChubbyEmu videos isn't "this thing is GOING TO KILL YOU," it's "look at this weird thing that happened and the toxicology behind it,." In fact, he goes out of his way to reassure people that these things aren't likely to happen in the videos where viewers might get anxious, like the cases involving leftovers. There's been a couple videos where he's straight-up said "this was a freak accident."

More generally, the fact that the events aren't likely is part of what can make case studies valuable; i.e. "this sequence of events is highly unlikely to happen again in this specific way, so let's examine it closely and see what we can learn from it."

You're probably right

Reinforcing my belief that you can find someone who holds any opinion it's possible to hold, no matter how dumb it is

Honest to God, I thought a "Librephone" was something that already existed. I think I was thinking of the PinePhone or smth.

Yarvin doesn’t think Trump has the guts to pull off a full fascist nightmare.

It physically pains me to say this, but I think Yarvin is correct here. What IS getting done is bad enough, but he's right that you can't really half-ass a hostile takeover, which is what Trump et al seem to be doing. Yes, they're fucking the US systems up, badly, but they're leaving the structures too intact. They're still bothering with things like court cases and gerrymandering. You don't bother with gerrymandering if you're not planning on still having elections, yknow?

I also think Yarvin is correct that Trump and crew will ultimately fail because of it. That's probably cold comfort to the people who have already lost loved ones, or who are dying or going to die because of this administration (and as a trans person myself, I may well be among that number), but it's not nothing.

I'm petty enough to put stickers over mine.

Last night I had a "back in school" dream, only in this one, the McElroy brothers were helping me cheat on a project. Unsurprisingly, Justin was the most helpful. What weird ones have y'all had?

NVIDIA

Welp, there's your problem. I have an NVIDIA card as well and it's been the source of at least 95% of my Linux headaches.

I've tried a few distros and Linux Mint was definitely the most "just works" for me. Make sure you're using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, regardless of what option you choose. Currently I use SpiralLinux (Debian with a few tweaks) because I really like the BTRFS snapshots and fell in love with KDE during my distro-hopping, but Mint is what I would recommend to the vast majority of people.

Why go to all the trouble of branding yourself as "rational" if you're just going to reinvent religion?

I do the cooking. It's not like my wife is incapable, she's just the breadwinner and it's more fair for me to do most of the house stuff.
