Lol, Titicaca. Will never not produce a chuckle from me.

I never got the all the hate for imagine dragons. They're not the best, but they're hardly offensive. They've got a couple of songs I don't mind. It's not like they're creed.

The band wookie foot. They're notorious for having the worst sort of obnoxious, dirtbag hippy fan base. Think unwashed, larcenous, and somehow still smug with the holier than thou attitude. Partying with them is like partying in vegas. One night is fun, anything past that is just a slow descent into hell.

Diplo is some douchbag dj. Think eurotrash party music.

I'd like medicare for all, a 50% reduction in military spending, and for the wealthy to pay taxes and be held accountable. Please and thank you.

Screen shot from Google maps just now.

Same also. I pretty much cut out beef. I eat mostly chicken now. But I've been expanding my vegetarian recipes, I go full veg a few days a week now.

That doesn't get a lot of snow.

Same. I hadn't realized how much capitalism and bot driven BS had creeped into reddit. Twas like a breath of fresh air.

Then again I did install Linux on my computer shortly after joining lemmy, so maybe I'm a sucker for y'all's propaganda too.

I feel this. I was kicked out my beautiful, affordable, nicely located brownstone apartment so the corporation masquerading as a hospital could build a parking ramp. Mind you they already had about three city blocks of parking lot they could have transitioned into a ramps.

Fuck em all. I hope they get incurable ass cancer.

The choosening.

 

Ohh ya baby!

 

I stand with the otters

 

Like they could cool their shit, and desalinate water with the waste heat. Provide water to dry areas. Like Baja or Texas. Bonus points if they could run off renewables. Seems like a win win

 

Ripped from PaulDrye@lemmings.world no idea who the original artist was. They are talented AF though!

 

10 of the last 10 years were the hottest on record. It's time. I know so many people that will give lip service to the environment and then think nothing of taking multiple flights per year on the flimsiest of pretexts.

And as all too often happens, people go to poorer countries where they get waited on hand and foot, and then act like they're doing some giant favor to the locals. All too often these tourist sights end up being an unmitigated natural disaster, not to mention locking the locals out of their own back yard.

And then they'll turn around and claim they're "helping the local economy" trying to justify it. It's colonialism by another name. If they paid fair wages to the workers these vacations would become much more expensive, perhaps prohibitively so.

And wtf is wrong with you, you can't relax in your own region? Gonna cook the planet because you can't be happy and relax in your own hemisphere. Y'all need to chill it with the air travel!

 

Thank you all who reached out, it really was awesome.

Was super easy, even my Nvidia cards driver was basically automated. Haven't played anything yet but I'm sure I'll be fine.

I opened up the command thingy a couple of times just to get some settings how I wanted them, but could have gotten by without it.

The biggest stumbling block for me personally was getting the thumb drive in order, then the hardware to boot from it. First you gotta use a thing called Rufus to format the drive correctly, not sure how or why, but you do.

And then I couldn't get my laptop to load bios no matter what key/s I mashed at restart, but searching " advanced startup options" in settings brought me to a menu to reboot from my (now correctly formatted) USB drive.

The rest drove itself. Still some stuff to figure out with it but it's doable. Very polished and user friendly.Thank you all again so much!

I just fucking can't with windows anymore. I'd preach about it but I imagine you've heard it all. I have minimal computer expertise.

I use my PC mainly for streaming, downloading torrent files who's copyright you don't need to worry about, and light gaming. Usually just messing with New Vegas mods.

If someone knows of a good YouTube channel or guide or something written for andelder millennial caveman I would be grateful.

Edit: after having been recommended mint OS and giving it a quick Google, I got this! I haven't fucked with anything linux scince the early aughts. And holy shit has that come a ways. Guess I remembered back and got a little intimidated. Mint is downloading now. As a small f.u. I booted up edge to do it. Ty you beautiful people!
