Everything has a neurological component to it, because you're a brain thinking about it, right? At least that's what I'm getting from that.

Technically still made by Microsoft, but what about VSCodium?

But vinyl is still inherently lossy, so the argument still applies.

Maybe make the bot not fetch video posts?

Yeah I love these "free" (33.9€ optional) games

They're almost as great as the free (20€/skin) games

"but you can just not buy the skins" sure and people can just not go to the casino and lose their life savings, but that's not how some brains work.

Disagreed. ^/s^

Restarting can be a pain too.

Recently, I decided to install arch linux on an old laptop my sibling gave to me. I'm not new to Linux, I've been running a debian server for a year now and I have tried several VMs with different systems. But this was my first time installing arch without a script, and on bare metal.

Installing arch itself wasn't that much of an issue, but there was a bigger problem: the PC didn't recognize the pendrive for boot in UEFI mode. It seemed to work in the regular boot mode, but I didn't want to use that. I made sure to deactivate safe mode and all the jazz. Sure enough, I could get UEFI boot working.

I install arch, works fine, I reboot. Oops! I didn't install dhcpcd and I don't know how to use network manager! No internet, great!

In my infinite wisdom, instead of trying to get NM to work, I decided to instead chroot back into the system and install dhcpcd. But my surprise when... The boot menu didn't recognize the USB again. I tried switching between UEFI and normal boot modes on the bios and trying again, after all it appeared last time after changing it, right?

"Oh it doesn't appear... Wait, what's this? No boot partition found? Oh crap..."

Turns out, by changing the setting on the BIOS I probably deleted the nvram and with it the boot table settings or whatever they're called. I deleted GRUB.

Alas, as if to repent for my sins, God gave me a nugget of inspiration. I swap the USB drive from the 3.0 port to one of the 2.0 ports on the other side and... It works, first try. The 3.0 port was just old and the connection bad. And I just deleted GRUB for no reason.

Usually, I would've installed everything from scratch again, but with newfound confidence, I managed to chroot into the system and regenerate the boot table or whatever (and install dhcpcd). And it worked! I had a working, bootable system, and an internet connection to download more packages.

I don't know what the moral of the story is I just wanted to share it :)

Okay, real talk, I don't really care what they do to the animals after they're dead, as long as it's hygienic.

The real problem is how they are treated during their lives, and how they're killed. There are farms ranging from pretty bad to "absolutely horrible hellish shit you wouldn't believe" bad.

oh yeah, tell me how disgusting I am for eating a poor little piggy 😳

ChatGPT?

Btw, something that really confused me when I was younger: "98% effectiveness" doesn't mean a condom works 98% of the time, and 2% of the time you can get pregnant.

It actually means that 98% of people that use a condom never get pregnant, and 2% do (over some amount of time I'm guessing? I'm not sure).

It's not an awful take, it's reality. Being dumb is not genetic and this has nothing to do with eugenics.

Also, they didn't say parents don't need to be involved at all. I think the idea is that the children get exposed to other people and ways of thinking and not JUST the things their parents decide for them. Otherwise it'll be indoctrination -better or worse- but the kids won't think for themselves.

For example, I think homeschooling is especially awful because parents just can't teach all the things that being in a classroom will. I don't know why it is legal in the USA, they should just have separate classes for kids with special needs imo, like in Europe.
