  • Unfortunately the “horror” that is windows persists almost as much as the horror of Linux. Which is a bunch of fanbois crowing about their distro without any explanation at all. But why do they do this? Because that’s how they got into it, and that’s how the people that got them into it got into it.

    Which fucking distro should I use?
    - Well, really it’s just preference.

    Then I choose arch.
    - Uh, wrong try again lol.

    Fair enough, Which fucking distro should I use?
    - Well, really it’s whatever works for you.

    Okay, I didn’t like the feel of that one.
    - Well, you were using the wrong desktop environment.

    😐😑😤😠… …Which fucking desktop environment should I use?
    - Well, really it’s just preference.

    🤬. 🤬🤬, 🤬. 🤬.
    - Look clearly you don’t know what you’re doing just use Ubuntu, or Kubuntu, or Lubuntu, or Xubuntu, or Fubuntu, or Poobuntu, or Schmubuntu. And with cinnamon obvi.

    Well how do I know? The site for each one uses the exact same bloviated claims. They’re all feature rich, and lightweight, and extended support, etc. Do I have to install them all to find out?
    - Yes but that’s impossible. So just use mine, it works.

    Until it doesn’t. Then you need to hit up Linux self help forums, to get help from Linux bros, who are the most detestable group of unhelpful, impatient, and pretentious neckbeards imaginable. “Did you try searching first?” “Just use our discord!” “Just use [my fucking distro!]”

    😖🤯👺

    Ugh, I’m so burned out on trying freecad, getting nowhere, nothing is straightforward or intuitive, watching hours of tutorials doing nothing you want to do with it, spending hours trying to figure it out, best attempt ever was not much more than a few basic shapes…

    Fuck autodesk all day, every day, but here’s fusion:

    • create parameters with the giant fucking f(x) button
    • create sketch with parameters by selecting literally any sketch function
    • extrude from sketch and modify body and faces
    • rinse and motherfucking repeat

    Until freecad can claim to at the very least offer an equally simple workflow, no thanks. I’d rather use blender.



  • I grew up with sisters. They were tricksters and knew that I would spend hours playing with their Barbie dolls on the empty promise to come into the woods and throw rocks at things. So their Barbie dolls always ended up marrying deformed ken. It was the only way I could cope with those dreadfully dull things. Folding his face over was my go-to move. My sisters hated that. Now he’s our VP. And I hate it. When I had enough I would put my thumb under kens chin and pop his head off like I was flipping a coin. Now I just flick my thumb at a screen when I see his dumb face on it. The mental imagery is euphoric enough to cope these days.

    👍 Couch fucker




  • Not only that, but they stuck to the corporate response on nearly every single question. They almost never went off script and it was just so fucking obvious and robotic. And for me, Tim’s complete lack of consideration for truth and evidence on its face and in a vacuum was nothing less than trumpian. In RL, I lie about being an OIF Veteran. At first it was shame, guilt, and self destructive tendencies but I’ve been to a LOT of therapy and I’m living better. But during that time I realized that there were others who would speak a bit more “freely” about things they may have done. If they assume you know nothing about the military then they can say whatever they want. Hearing someone mince words about their service is fairly common and IMHO - innocuous. It’s a nothing burger of exaggeration. Had Tim just admitted what was clearly on video and just said, “I was using more colorful language to affect the crowd, my bad.” I would have honestly commended him.

    Instead, they lied. About the most mundane shit imaginable.
