Punched a Nazi.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Experienced certain death if you do not make a choice in seconds. Not, "My gosh! I might get punched in the face!" scared, I mean, "Figure this out or you're dying, right this instant."

It's nice to have a preview of your personal extinction, and it's really nice knowing you will do your best at that time.

tl;dr: Saved my own life twice, maybe three times.

been homeless

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Pooped with the bathroom door open.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

My dog needs to know I'm ok so I watch him poop and he watches me poop 🙃

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

Moments I have truly known I was alive:

  • Using the restroom after chopping chillies but before washing my hands

  • Hearing my boss say "Can I talk to you in my office...?"

  • Seeing the jerk who swerved around me doing three times the speed limit get stopped by a cop

  • Playing with a kitten I had just adopted

[–] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 49 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Died. Otherwise you're still living.

Masturbated at work in an empty bathroom stall.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Gotten truly and utterly lost without a communication device. Especially powerful if you are in a foreign country where you don't speak the language and/or are alone. Nothing quite like it.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago

Ok that must truly have been an experience. I'd put it on the same level as being homeless (happened to me for a night).

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Truly living life on the edge I can see

[–] Rooskie91 3 points 1 day ago

Ironically, my laptop has never truly died until I tried this. /s

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My man, I have been trying. Been trying to dual boot since I still need windows for work but I cannot for the life of me get Grub to work. It shows up in the install terminal, but after I reset it immediately disappears as a boot option from my and Linux. I've been racking my brain for days and no solution online works. The closest I got was getting to the Grub terminal, but it still couldn't boot into arch.

Meanwhile my laptop is dual booting with no problems whatsoever after doing basically the exact same thing. It doesn't make any sense

[–] Almrond@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Fine, I'll be the guy. Sounds like grub-install isn't writing the configuration to the right place. My first check would be what grub config is being used, then work on replacing that with the one generated by grub-install.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That's what everyone was saying online but no solutions have worked. Since I can't boot into Arch I've been having to go through the install USB to get anything done so it's been super tedious. My next idea was going to try a different boot loader if I can't get it to work.

[–] Almrond@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Well, I would start by booting from the GRUB command line. Using the install media can work to fix the system, but this is getting into chroot territory and there is no reason to believe the system isn't working. Just not booting. Much simpler to use the grub rescue terminal to force a boot, then run all of the grub goodness from there. Basically, if it boots from the disk in rescue it guarantees grub/efi is mounted where it needs to be, from there grub-install on its own should just work. Also, make sure the config you are feeding grub-install is set to output a boot option. When in doubt use the default config, it should work fine.

Newborns always seem kind of unhappy about the transition, though.

[–] Kraiden@kbin.earth 4 points 1 day ago

I mean, yeah! They didn't sign up for this shit!

Stillbirth is the exception. I was about to comment "until you've had a pulse while breathing air".

It was a tragic day when I grew up and could no longer see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

[–] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

Buzz Aldrin went to the moon, and only then did he understand why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

...taken a good dump

[–] forty2@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

...had someone rifle balls at you, as hard as they can, off of a bat or racquet. Something about facing it down and letting your instinctual reactions take over is viscerally primal.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Ooh absolutely. The primal feelings of being attacked are truly a part of human existence that many people (thankfully) don't ever experience in their life.

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

... until you have seen a subartic tundra lemmings' smile 😋

You've fought past the fear and anxiety; then become so comfortable that you don't seem to remember that fear.

I was definitely on one end of that at some point

[–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So (cis) men will never truly have lived? What about people who don't want children?
