I kinda want them here so they can be exposed to leftist ideas and become thigh-high wearing, Linux using furries.

But that's probably just me huffing hopium

Agreed, this particular type of person I can at least feel empathy for. Feeling the system has failed and deciding that someone who will blow it all up is better than someone who will maintain the status quo.

I feel that people like your brother are in the minority though and most of Trump's voters like his policies, and so I completely blame them, but that's just my gut feeling, I don't have stats or studies.

Fair. I've spent most my life working with the neurodivergent community, so even IRL I know some very intelligent people need a bit of help with implied meaning. I know I've had my fair share of "woosh" moments

I've found online that /s is almost always needed. May take a bit from the joke but also, clarifies for everyone that you are not actually being an asshole when you can't visibly roll your eyes and use the proper "sarcasm inflection"

In the waters around coral reefs I've always noticed a constant clicking/scraping nose. I was told as a kid that's the sound of the coral polyps but I never really looked into it. Grew up snorkeling a whole lot in my home country and that was the first thing your post made me think of.

Yeah, I remember getting a newer laptop in my late teens and having this moment of "I don't have time to make a snack..." For better and for worse the wait times we used to fill with little comforts just went poof

Hitting the power button on the family computer then putting together a snack while the computer fully boots.

Mom too busy edging to reply properly

 

If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

 

Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?

Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.

 

I can't stop laughing but I also have no friends who read Stormlight to share this with 😭

 

Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.

In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

 

Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.

I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.

Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.
