  • Alright Putin. You want us to believe you? Show up to the meeting first. You’ll be totally naked. Zelenskyy will be fully clothed.

    Why?

    Because it shows the world that Putin has no power in these negotiations. If he truely wants the war to end, he could have done so at any time by simply leaving Ukraine territory. Now that Ukraine is fighting inside russian territory, and there are over 1 million russian casualties, and their military has been crippled, suddenly NOW he wants to claim the war should end.

    Yeah, just give back Crimea, and all gained Ukraine territory. And just to teach you a lession, all russian territory claimed by Ukaine in the war is now part if Ukraine.

    Or we could continue.






  • you can almost use it entirely without the CLI

    The word “almost” is doing some heavy lifting there. Linux is still a “terminal culture”.

    I spent 6 hours last night trying to figure out how to make a usb boot drive from ZorinOS.

    Step 1 ‐ install BalenaEtcher.

    I never figured out step 1. It’s not in the software store.

    I downloaded the zip, and then had no idea what to do with it.

    I watched a youtube video on what to do with the zip, and in his video he had one file in the zip. I had about 20 files, and a couple folders. And I didn’t have the file he used.

    Eventually I found an APPimg file, and it installed Balena Etcher. But it wouldn’t launch after being installed.

    Then I heard of some other way, starting with a Z. You can put multiple ISOs on it, and choose at boot.

    So I downloaded ReactOS, 3 different versions of Mint, pop_os, and zaphrite os. The only one that booted was pop_os. Which I didn’t much care for, but at least it booted.

    Spent 5 hours on that, and still have no idea how to use ZorinOS to make a usb boot disk that actually works.

    In windows, you download an exe file for balena etcher, click it, probably go through 12 different screens of install, but then it works.



  • I like this reply, because even though it’s an opinion, it’s a self realized opinion. It’s not trying to push opinions as facts. It gives insight to this persons taste, which if everybody did this, you’d get an idea of who likes what, and why. That would give you an idea of how different things are percieved.

    I feel like the sidelined family members on family fued.

    “Good answer! Good answer!”







  • I feel like men sometimes look at women as “there’s my fuckhole”, and I feel like women sometimes look at men as “there’s my validation”.

    In both cases, the person is wrong for thinking of the other gender as being there exclusively to fill the role that they’ve cast for the other.

    I’ve dated women where I wasn’t me. I was “the boyfriend”. A role that literally any male could have played. Because who I was didn’t matter. My personality wasn’t being considered. My needs and wants and goals weren’t given any thought because to these women, none of that mattered. I was there exclusively to fill the role of validating her insecurities that she is able to find someone, anyone, to love her.

    On the flip side of that, I have in decades gone by been guilty of fucking a girl, simply because she let me. Where I realized our personalities didn’t mesh. We weren’t going to last long term. So just shut the fuck up as I fuck you in the ass.

    The one major difference, is that in my ex’s case, she was lying to herself that I mattered. So therefore she was also lying to me, because she was trying to convince herself that we were a match.

    Whereas I tried to date the girl I eventually just fucked. But after a month, I realized our personalities did not mesh. So I was upfront. She was free to leave, or free to be bend over and be treated like a human sex doll.

    Although I can’t say all guys will be honest if they’re just using you for sex.

    The point is, you need to ask yourself if you want “a boyfriend” or if you want to start dating (insert person’s name here) because (person) makes you happy when you’re around them.

    And watch out for guys just using you for sex. If you’re fine with it, it can be a lot of fun. You’re free to try out kinks judgement free without long term consequence.

    But if you’re NOT fine with casual sex, you need to know that’s what it is.


  • Never heard of that name before, so I googled it. Holy shit. Guys, if you haven’t heard of Rachel Dolezal, google it. It is a WILD read.

    It reminds me of this local wrestling character. “Malcolm Farrakhan”. A combination of the names Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. Played by a 90lbs 5’2 white guy, who surrounded himself with a group of big muscular black guys. One of which you might remember from WWE in The Nexus as “Micheal Tarver”.

    Well, Malcolm Farrakhan was as white as could be, which was the whole joke. He didn’t do blackface (thank god), but his whole schtick was screaming “I AM A VERY LIGHT SHADE OF BLACK!!! I HAVE BLACK HERRITAGE!!!” meanwhile the crowd laughs at the absurdity, as a group of 4-5 black guys all act like they fully believe him.

    Wrestling is weird, and not meant to be taken seriously.

    But this Rachel Dolezal essentially did the exact same thing a decade later, except in real life. Just less cartoonish about it.

    Which is pretty fucked up.
