I told the person who sells Raycons to advertise on YouTube and Podcasts back when they were looking for help on advertising and just starting up.

They then did that.

Forgiveness isn't love, it's forgiveness.

People have forgotten that Love is passionate, and you may do terrible things because of it. But it also let's you get through harshness for the love of a greater good.

For example, many might want to murder someone like Putin solely because they hate him.

But some would seek to do it because they love peace and want a better world.

I suppose though it doesn't benefit imperialism to think of things that way, however.

Killing out of hate for others alone tends to only bring suffering later.

Killing out of love of many brings about progressive change.

Everyone thinks love is only passive, forgetting it's also passionate

I'm wondering what I've done wrong with KDE Connect as I could never get it working on any device across 3 different smartphones

I do, as I have no allergies ✨

It's weird people don't.

You literally can't breathe in there, go to deep and you meet a terrible fate just going back up. And as if that wasn't deadly enough, it's filled with creatures that can kill you or look horrific but are harmless, or look derpy but are one of the smartest predators on the planet other than humans.

That said I've been diving and kayaking.

Except being in an apartment designed to retain heat facing the sun that's up nearly all day with no A/C.

But yeah, other than that.

A kidney biopsy tool, except the person who's supposed to get the sample keeps missing and the local anesthetic (lidocaine) is wearing off

The scars still emit pain, and the biopsy sites (I got stabbed with that thing 5 times) hurt more than the actual transplant surgery site itself.

Other than that, cancer if the tumors grow in the right spot.

As someone else said, gout. Definitely gout. In particular, severe gout caused by dehydration from food poisoning.

A 14 gauge needle being stuck all the way through and past your fistula for dialysis. Here's size comparisons:

Note: 14 is 2 sizes bigger than 16.


For non painful things, I'd say a bone biopsy ( this is assuming they gave you the good stuff for pain ). There's something that feels very wrong of feeling your bones being punctured, scraped from the inside, and popped like a champagne bottle.

Squishing a big roach with your barefoot when you didn't know one was hiding in your shoe.

Getting food poisoning from shellfish specifically.

Walking through flood waters, seeing a water moccasin, but not knowing where it is or went.

Thalassophobia.

Why not directly sabotage then?

That's like the time wasting strat but on another level

That's... Definitely not the requirements for Texas at least, or weren't when I left the country years ago. Especially not the college degree part. I think only detectives needed one.

It'd be a shame if you got hired to be armed security and your friends who would treat ICE obviously nicely based off your tone tho just happened to know exactly where and who you're doing security for, and you might just happen to "fall asleep" or something during a certain time you might say outloud totally not as a signal when said friends would politely be sneaking in where you would be "guarding" to give the nice person a handshake.

Just a thought.

On an unrelated note, have you ever heard of this book?

Ocean acidification tipping point, climate change tipping point, rose of wars and fascism, microplastocs - these are just facts of things that are happening. I feel like doom scrolling would be an exaggeration of things that are happening or will happen, not just reading about reality.

 

For those who don't know, a Monkey Paw Wish is when you get your wish granted, but in an unexpected usually negative way.

Example:

  1. I wish human caused global warming would stop.
  2. It does, but because WW3 leads to Nuclear Winter.

The question here though, is what wish would you be willing to take even though it'll get monkey paw'd?

So basically you don't care if the consequences, or would be willing to take the sacrifice for it.

Others can come up with the negative scenarios if they want and the original wisher can decide if it's still worth it

 

It's the simple things really. I've swapped back to Linux as my primary about a year ago, and still I have issues I don't have with Windows.

6 months now, particularly on Linux Mint (Bazzite to its credit hasn't had this issue much) I just can't fit connect to the internet. Linux is the only thing with this issue. By some arcane lucky magic, it somehow fixes itself when I'm fiddling around trying to fix it myself.

Only for the problem to come back next time I boot up my PC on Mint.

I have it connected to a TP link switch, just like other devices. None have the issue, not even a console (Nintendo Switch). Months, fucking months of going through forum posts, articles, social media, and trying out dozens upon dozens of "solutions", both in gui and the terminal - and the problem persists.

Now, I don't think I'm tech savvy exactly, but I'm not tech illiterate either. I understand some simple lines of code, some very basics of networking, etc. I'm patient enough to deal with issues like these for over half a year.

But how the hell is Linux even going to dream of being anywhere near mainstream when one of the most recommended "beginner" distros can't even run a year long without something as simple as the damned internet working???

And it's not just the internet. It's little things that just pop up one day and now you have to solve a puzzle to figure it out. Oh, suddenly you have to print something? Oh, you decided to get a light up keyboard that was on sale? Try to use Steam Link? Get ready to roll the dice on whether it'll take you a weekend to do / use it.

Microsoft is shit. Windows, is shit. Windows 11 is a privacy goddamn nightmare.

But in the end of the day, it just fucking works, those damn bastards ensure that. And even when something doesn't work, it seems, for some unknown reason, most of the online solutions do fix the issue.

Now imagine someone who's less likely to open up a terminal using Linux. They won't. They'll sacrifice their privacy because they might have full time jobs in something not remotely tech related and just wanted to watch some YouTube and don't want to spend the little free time they have fixing their own computer.

What's hilarious is just as I'm finishing this rant, the internet on Mint just magically decided to work again with no issues.

Maybe next time then I'll try yelling at the Linux fairies in my PC to see if they'll do their magic. At this point it's about a valid solution as any other.

I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu
