  • Fuck yeah I did, but only if I pull up to a McMansion with a larger order and get no tip.

    Section 8 no tip? I get it.

    McMansion large tip? Thanks have a nice night.

    McMansion no tip? I’ll remember you and shake your soda next time. Probably stop at the store for snacks and a pack of heaters on the way too.

    Idfc how much you order or if you’re 1 or 15 people, or anything else like that, but rich stingy cunts get judged.

    (Also if you order and immediately hop in the shower making me stand there knocking for 5min when I show up, I’m mad and think you’re dumb. Just shower after you eat or before you call ffs, I have two other runs in the car getting cold because you thought you were slick.)


  • Used the terminal yesterday to search my piracy drive full of movies and shit in a directory structure, find any duplicate files by size/md5, and then it piped the results into my terminal editor of choice where I commented out the lines corresponding to files to delete, then it deleted them for me. Saved a couple hundred gb, and idk how to do it through a gui (besides the insurmountable task of clicking through all those folders.)

    Not only that, but turned out I had a bunch of dups in my image folder too that I wasn’t prepared to deal with right then, so in vim I just :/folder and n n n n repeatedly to get to the next relevant entries, made it even faster.

    Took maybe 5min (not counting wait time, I ran it, made dinner, and came back and it was ready for me.)

    Now, I’m going to peek at that forgotten picture folder in the GUI because I have NO idea what’s going on there and it’ll be helpful for me to get eyes on it instead of reading filenames, so I do use that too, for me it isn’t all or nothing, it’s both, some things are just better CLI and some are actually better GUI, and some can be either depending on how I feel today.




  • Hey I have a quick question I haven’t been able to find the answer to regarding nnn, if you don’t mind.

    So, I have nnn and the plugins set up as normal, however I need to run some of those plugins as root. If I sudo nnn, my plugins don’t transfer, so I put the plugin files in root’s .config and the line in root’s .bashrc, but I can’t figure out how to do the source ~/.bashrc command part for root’s .bashrc.

    If I source /root/.bashrc it says permission denied, if I run it with sudo it says sudo: source: command not found.

    You wouldn’t happen to have been down this road before, would you?



  • I find sometimes the gui takes a while to manipulate say 300 folders. Like if I want to move all the mp4 files from a folder structure into another directory but leave everything else you can use something like

    find /path/to/piracy/directory/ -name '*.mp4' -exec cp -r {} /path/to/piracy/storage/ \;
    

    And it’ll send em on over.

    And I didn’t remember that command, I had it in a script, so to find it to post here I just typed:

    cat ~/Documents/scripts/scriptname/
    

    And hit enter, and it gave me the info in the file. Tbh it was even easier than that, with tab completion I just had to type:

    cat Doc[tab]/sc[tab]/sc[tab]

    But back to the piracy, then to delete everything left over from that first script (like .nfo files) just

    cd ~/piracy/directory/
    rm -r *
    exit
    

    And will remove everything instantly.

    To make it easier you can make a script with the first command, even chain it with the same for avi etc, and you could probably have it auto clean the source directory afterwards, but I like to do that manually. You can also (in most piracy programs) tell it to run a script on complete, so you could have that all automated by that process (if you don’t store them in an external drive like me.) And you can get way fancier with it too, I’m very much still learning, there’s way more that can be done pretty easily. I do still use the GUI sometimes too though and for some stuff it is easier, it’s definitely not an all or nothing thing, both is better!

    Also I’m totally not a pirate that was just an example…cough cough.



  • Moving files, deleting files, text editing, converting files, stuff like btop, a lot really.

    When I started I watched a few “linux cli tutorial” and “bash basics” or “bash for beginners” type videos on youtube and followed along in my terminal like a class, pausing when needed. That’s all it took for me to be off to the races learning more because of just how easy it is to do a lot of stuff, and I still learn more all the time.

    Couple tips (really some of this applies regardless of cli or gui):

    • Keep offsite back-ups, just in case. Worst case scenario you reinstall and replace your files.

    • Be careful with sudo but otherwise you’ll be fine. That’s not to say don’t use sudo just be mindful.

    • Learn just the basics at first and then learn more as you go and get more comfortable, I kinda use the unix philosophy for it here and only learn it if I need it, most often.

    • You can save semi-commonly used commands to a txt file and reference it later, really helps for stuff you only use every now and again. There’s also the history command and ctrl+r but I still find the file useful.

    It really isn’t as hard as it had looked before I started, and I use it constantly now.


  • Sometimes you get your heart broken by who you thought was “the one” and it becomes hard to trust it again because “these are the same feelings as last time and look how that turned out.” Even if you want to, there can be a “fool me once” element to it that isn’t so easy to shake.

    And for me personally so far it’s that everyone seems to expect me to fall in love within a month and marry them within a couple years. Bruh I’m slow at that shit sorry idfk what to tell you and the more you pressure me the less likely it’ll ever happen because it’ll push me the other way.







  • As you’ve accurately identified, they can’t. Best they have is say “nooo you can’t” and hope sites comply out of pure fear. Even if they could, VPN.

    They also completely bungled prohibition, drug prohibition, and the states with restrictive gun laws are bungling that. And women from the anti abortion states can still get out of state abortions.

    Bans don’t actually work, especially when there’s already an abundance and the banned thing in question is easy to produce.


  • You can find videos of archers having fun at a range, why does that not cause school archings? You can find videos of drunk ass axe throwers having fun at axe throwing places, does axe culture inspire school axings? Fun doesn’t cause crime, the crime is caused by deep socioeconomic issues that can’t be solved by stopping fun. And fun != irresponsible without your painting it as “fun causes school shootings” especially when you differentiate it from stupidity yourself.

    Your study doesn’t actually account for the fact that most school shooters, being unable to legally purchase firearms, steal them from their parents, and therefore it’s more likely by default that their parents are “gun culture” people by virtue of owning guns. That still doesn’t mean their kids stealing their guns to commit murder is “gun culture.” Causation != correlation and such.

    Your second study basically says “the more guns around the higher likelihood someone can steal one.” Sure, but places with more permissive alcohol laws also have more drunk drivers, should we ban alcohol?


  • If you ever talked to anyone actually “in the gun culture” (a phrase that is still laughable to me as if it were a real thing), you’d learn safety is paramount, that they are not toys. This is what you’re saying is responsible for school shootings because they’re treating them like toys? Sure lol. Another example of the basic safety rules from a guy responsible for school shootings, clearly you can hear him saying “play with them wantonly” right there, huh? How bout this guy? Clearly, “gun culture” doesn’t treat guns as toys. Instigram dumbshits are not “gun culture,” the gentleman responding to them here, well, again gun culture isn’t really a thing like you seem to think but he’s as close as we’ll get just like all the other safety advocates in these links.

    You gonna blame KMFDM next, or?


  • “Gun culture” and “kids committing crimes” are two separate things. “Gun culture” (if you can even call it that) is IDPA, USPSA, Cowboy Action, skeet (haha), trap, hunting, historical collections, non-historical collections, and defense. Not murdering unarmed kids in a school with a stolen or illegally purchased gun. Incel culture maybe but not “gun culture.”

    This is like saying “car culture” is running over grandmas while drunk driving, rather than cosmetic/performance mods, racing, antique car shows full of Chevy Bel-Airs and Novas, muscle cars, etc. It’s not. “Alcoholic culture” maybe but not “car culture.”

    Maybe you should take that step back.
