Can smokers please just stay home during protests if they can't do without smoking in the crowd. Seriously if you are a person who smokes in groups just like think about other people instead of trying to asphalt everyone's lungs please. Chanting about solidarity and then excluding people with lung conditions is hypocritical and rude. I am extremely sick of coughing a fit and being excluded from groups I want to walk with because of smokers. It's really not that hard to just not or at least move out of the crowd instead of forcing me to.

There is no mention of the fact that the computer is "too old to receive security updates" on the webpage telling you to purchase the computer.

the thing that pisses me off most about school is that the amount of stuff I needed to learn would have taken like 30 minutes total and yet I didn't learn any of it in school

like, how is writing a book report on The Great Gatsby supposed to do anything for me if nobody thought it would be a good idea to give me a one-sentence explanation of what project planning is that my boss at my first job had to give me

as long as graphene keeps supporting this device i'll keep using it, because with a snapdragon 855 performance is not even slightly lacking, it feels genuinely absurd classing this as EOL

i mean maybe i'll make it a longterm project myself, i.e. try replace the flash chip when it gets worn out etc. i keep wanting to get into some kernel dev so maybe helping with backporting fixes to this device's 4.14 tree will be my intro lol

I'm one of those edge cases that thinks encodings & formats are political, bc the act of bounding what and how things should exist just... is... but beyond a few format art pieces I don't know any good way to teach them. do I know anyone that does?

i worry that people will think it's linux's fault when my computer doesn't work when it's actually my fault.

Hi all.

My gf just got shadow-banned from Reddit for doing sex work there (NSFW pictures and commissions of the same), and she really needs to find a safe place online to do that now. I don't know much about that world, but if anyone could help us out that would be really appreciated. ❤️

Got an email from Meetup. They've finally zeroed in on the sort of groups I'd be interested in.

When I was a kid, they made being smart sound like it was the most important quality of a human being. Turns out that was a crock of shit.

it's funny how there are shitloads of cautionary and historical tales about ppl being forced to fight each other to the death (tributes of panem, gladiator, etc), all of whom have basically fascists as the antagonists, and noone would have ever considered turning these into a reality show, bc that's just so bad and terrible and yea don't make the torment nexus.

but then a show of exactly this type comes up, except their fascist antagonists are neolib-painted and have a happy corporate style, and suddenly it is acceptable to turn it into a reality show.

the lesson is that making a story about ppl being murdered "real" is socially acceptable as long as the murderers are neolibs

The problem with having ADHD in this society is that I need accommodations to help me advocate to get the diagnosis to be able to get accommodations with

Especially because they (intentionally??) set the system up in such a way that the people who need it the most have the most difficulty accessing it

Please I literally have an executive function disorder please don't make me do things that require initiative and checking in to make sure I have /actually/ been put on the years-long waitlist

surprised no one's drawn much of a link between the state health and social care has been in in the UK over the past couple decades and the fact all the jobs going unfilled are the ones that require able bodied people
