No. I just got tired of dealing with virtual machines. I would’ve hoped that Wine by now would’ve allowed and accepted more 16-bit applications than just stopping at 32-bit.

lol and they tried getting them back.

no chance.

Would you know if this works for 16-bit games? Like, I’d love to play the Hasbro cereal box games again. Yahtzee, Wheel of Fortune and all them. If so, that alone may just get me to join Linux Mint.

I’ve seen an awful lot of bodycam videos to agree. I feel bad for the ones that have to shoot somebody. I’ve even seen some bodycam footage where cops do breakdown after shooting someone. They’re really wishing things never had to go that way, but did because some very crazy people do crazy things or decide to suicide by cop.

I have seen some people in some of my jobs where they desired to be in middle-management, to swear that they wouldn’t be the uptight asshole boss to everyone. The sad reality is, is that management wants to train you to be an unreasonable hardass on people. If they feel you’re too lax, then you’re not going to make it. Which is fucking telling of itself with why management of all levels is so hated.

Any governmental position really. It all sounds incredibly unstable with all of the news with federal wages and benefits. Unless you’re an actual politician, life as federal worker must be incredibly stressful.

Took Intel way too long to finally discontinue that shitty Celeron line.

If you’re communicative with your landlord and ask about some things, usually they will let some things slide provided you help patch up things you might have drilled a hole into a wall for before you leave.

The problem is just doing it anyways and expecting it to be okay.

Look at this guy here, thinking we’re in pre-2008 times.

Life is all about planning and strategizing. If you’re not thinking ahead, more importantly, not thinking through on some things, you’ll always be struggling to figure it out.

The first mistake you’re doing is asking for advice in general. Because you’re not thinking deep in yourself in what matters to you and what you want to achieve from those things.

It should never even be questioned. Pedophilia will never be okay. Children cannot reasonably consent and if anyone thinks they do, don’t care to know what ‘grooming’ is or probably is a groomer to make a child believe that.

You’re a bit out of date on that one.

Because you’re thinking when he said that in 2006. It took until 2019 that he changed his perspective. Now granted that’s quite a time gap between 2006 and 2019 in believing pedophilia is okay. But he seems to have changed his tune on that. And people did make it known to him.

I don’t really look down at anyone for renting an apartment. Owning a house (lol) can have its challenges. I saw everything my father has been through when he was a homeowner. He now owns his home after paying off the mortgage 24 years later. He last told me he was saving up to deal with the chimney. How much is that? North of 5k ~ 15k. Yeah, no thanks.

There is no way I would be able to survive as a homeowner. Sure, the privacy is great and having to do everything you want without anyone complaining and getting in your face about it, is grand. But to me it is just one trade off.

In an apartment, you don’t have to do your own maintenance and maintenance is always on the house. You don’t have to really worry a lot about some things if you truly feel you can’t wing it as a homeowner. I accept that I’m going to be apartment hopping for the rest of my life and with a very soured relationship with my father, there’s no chance I’m getting his home willed to me, not that I’d want it anyways.

The only thing I would want mandated for all apartments to have, is to have all walls completely as close to being sound-proofed as possible. That way, nobody is at eachother’s throats over noise.

So you can block them. Karma points on the fediverse practically mean nothing as it does not borrow the functionality as they would on Reddit where if you’re downvoted enough times, you will be prevented from posting as frequently. I guess some people, 3 years later, did not get the memo still when they think it’s so rebellious and cool to parade downvotes on someone. It just makes you look petty and childish, really.

I was told, to my face by management, that my peace was to be valued. Everyone’s peace was to be valued.

Maybe someone doesn’t want to wear their headsets all of the time in a place they pay a lot of money for. You’re making it sound like there is no control for anything and just let it be. But someone probably hasn’t told you that, if it can be helped, it should be helped.

Yeah, same too.

I hate the fuck out of advertising and marketing. There’s no way I’d last even an hour, having someone tell me to go out and get people to buy products. Products and services that might not have been very well worth the money, but it has to be someone’s job to convince another to buy it anyways. You become the very thing you absolutely loathe.

His dumbfuck son will try for office.

My tastes have only slightly inched a direction, but nothing outwardly. A lot of my tastes are considered vanilla as hell.

You’re going to have to do what I did and just leap off of FB for your own sake. If nobody wants to follow you or reach out elsewhere, then it’s their loss.

Sure, there are fediverse versions of FB out there, but they’ve yet to gain ground yet steadily are. But, people are going to be glued to what they use the most and people are stubborn so it’s a matter of you jump or stay.

And it becomes a tediously straining experience.

Assholes. All of the people from the instances mentioned, tend to have assholes who’re prone to run up to you to be snarky. They also are probably behind downvote parades, not like downvoting has a meaning in the fediverse, but if you’re looking for some measurement based on what’s said, that’s going to throw it off.
