that guy, if you look at his profile, is an “anarcho-capitalist.” tells you all you need to know.

I dont think you know how much it means to me to read this in the state I’m in right now. Thank you for writing

It was enabled and for some reason grayed out so I couldn’t disable it. Looked up several solutions and nothing worked so I just updated my bios. That ended up working.

I clicked on the KDE version because it said that would be closer to a classic “desktop” environment, and yes the Nvidia version

I followed every instruction on that page once it happened and still nothing. Even after a full reinstall. I’m worried it might be some bigger, harder-to-fix problem like something with my sound card. See my edit for a better update

I’m on an MSI Thin GF63. I don’t hear MSI laptops get mentioned often when it comes to Linux compatibility so I have no idea if this means I’m simply fucked or if all of my problems will purely be software issues. I’m installing Bazzite right now because I’ve heard it mentioned several times here.

I’ll give this a shot right now and update the post if the issue persists across operating systems.

Yes. Choosing not to vote for the candidate CLOSER to your beliefs is increasing the voting power of all other voters.

People of all ages snore.

I haven’t listened to this band yet but aesthetically and in terms of genre tags it reminds me a lot of The Black Moriah. Blackened thrash from Texas, with a spiritual western theme.

I second this. I was this neurodivergent kid. Finding a therapist who can approach neurodivergence appropriately may mean that the solution isnt instant, but therapy is incredibly worth it for neurodivergent children.

when they say “people who make the deus vult meme their whole personality,” are they not just referring to alt right bros? to my understanding, this was a dogwhistle for a while regarding ones stance on immigration, waxing “nostalgic” about the islamophobia of the crusades

you’ll come to realize that being an anxious person has its problems but also some benefits :)

This is the same kind of anxiety I have. This sounds a lot like OCD or an anxiety disorder. Consider the following: thoughts can not be immoral, actions can be. Your mind is your own playground to do whatever you want in, and if the thought of killing bugs is what comes into your mind, thats merely you experimenting with the idea. It says nothing about your character besides your curiosity. There’s a reason why thoughtcrime has historically been an idea in dystopian novels: our thoughts are not entirely in our control. We can vaguely guide the flow with some willful control, but the river will flow whether we like it or not. Don’t shame yourself for your brain functioning exactly as it should. We have ideas and then we crosscheck those ideas with what our ideal self would be. Your ideal self would disapprove, as evidenced by your concern over this. It is admirable that you clearly care so much for your wellbeing, but the energy is misplaced. The more energy you put into the moral value of these mere thoughts, the more valid they will seem to your brain. Intrusive thoughts are ultimately uncomfortable, but they have no power over you unless you give them it.

note: most people dont give a shit about bugs, me included. the urge to get rid of a bug or other small invertebrate is totally normal. if having these thoughts makes you a murderer… then everyone else is genocidal.

I’m all for this except the pseudoscientific brainwashing bullshit lole

someone PLEASE put this into written word that I can copy and paste

i dont know of a ton of slurs used against the specific concept of being a furry, but because furries overlap with neurodivergence and queerness, the bigots just often revert to their default of calling people fags
