I’ll ban you, but let me just say this before I do it. Fuck you, and I hope you step on a rusty nail.

I’m in academia, so being a little quirky is almost the norm. But whenever I meet new people, and they get to know me, this is exactly their reaction lol.

Look, I’m one of those ADHD folks who are pretty successful in their career despite all the mental issues.

Let me tell you, it still kinda sucks. Every day is a struggle. Even though it always works out in the end for me, the process is the punishment.

Yes, but that shouldn’t have anything to do with downtime. This is exactly what happens when you install something from source à la any -git package from AUR. It’s slower than installing binaries, but downtime is a completely different issue. Am I missing something?

Most people don’t. Social media makes it seem like they do, but most people’s lives are at least somewhat messy.

Man, I hate that guy’s comments with a passion.

No it doesn’t. If I say I’m melting on a hot day, I’m not trying to minimize the suffering of burn victims. It’s just comparison.

Yeah, if you want me to hear your endless bitching, you at least need to invite me for drinks (or potluck, if you don’t drink) sometimes. Even then, I might just offer some advice every once in a while. A little bit of tough love is sometimes necessary.

This just reeks of right wing anti-intellectualism. People actually offering solutions are vilified because they’re sometimes rude or annoying. Grow up, and learn to ignore people you want to ignore. Not everyone will bow down to your whims. You wanna complain, fine, some will respond with solutions. If you don’t want that, ignore them. It’s not very hard.

You may wanna contact Guinness world records. It’s gonna be a while.

Yeah, as long as there’s an infinite number of people willing to move, it’ll work.

Uhh, that’s kind of the definition of showing off? (It’s fine, I’m not complaining. But let’s call it what it is.)

Congrats

Yeah, snapper just works better with btrfs in my experience, but timeshift is fine too.

Arch is great for gaming. Also, if you’re familiar with how Linux works, Arch pretty much gets out of your way. Just have btrfs with snapper for rolling back any mistakes. (Although, I’ve only had to do that once in the last 5 years or so on Arch. And I was trying to replace the graphics driver, so kinda on me.)

Yeah, the Indian communities can often be very toxic. We definitely have a fascism problem. Hell, our government is several steps ahead of the US in this regard.

I’ve never understood the love for Ruby. The language doesn’t do anything special from what I can tell, and the most well known Ruby dude DHH is a huge piece of shit. (You don’t even need to know about his racist remarks to dislike him. Just watch him talk about anything, he has that Sam Altman dead reptile energy.)

No one’s stopping you. It’s only a problem when this is forced on people. Some of us don’t need to go to work for any of that.

Dozens!
