Numbers can be fun if you play with them a bit. We may not always agree but I'll be your friend if you ever need one.

So I kept getting infections down there. This would usually occur due to hygiene. Now before you write me off as a basement dwelling Reddit moderator, the issue only occurred when I would have long layovers at the airport or would go for a weekend camping trip where I couldn’t properly wash myself down there to the fullest extent.

The worst one was finally from a 72 hour delay where I was stuck in the airport. After that infection I had enough and asked the doctor why this was such a big problem for me. He recommended due to the frequency of the issue to have it removed. I have not had infection down there since the operation, despite my activity or plans.

I’m in my mid 40’s so you can’t just group people together and just say “that’s the way it was”. It wasn’t for me and I’m in that age group.

Thank you and I’m glad you found my humor acceptable. Conversation was getting a little glum 😅

As someone who medically needed one as an adult. I both appreciate my parents for not doing it to me as a child and have the horrible perspective of how painful this actually is.

You’re a monster if you do this to a baby. I barely survived it as a full grown man.

Linux Mint is like the most stable Windows 10 out there. It’s easy to download new software, it’s GUI is extremely customizable and it has a “it just works” magic to it I can’t really explain. Every issue I’ve encountered was solvable albeit after lengthy reading.

If you’re brand new to Linux you can download it to a USB, boot to it from bios (disable secure boot if needed) and test it out without installing it. I’d say give it a shot if you got some free time and you’re curious.

That’s fair. It’s an out of the box, easy to understand distro. The fact you would get a user to even consider trying Linux is a huge ask. Making it as straight forward as possible is extremely important for a user experiencing Linux for the very first time.

If they get hung up on this process they will quit and go back to windows because they are afraid of something they don’t quite understand yet. Linux Mint is the right solution because of its ease of setup, ease of use and deployment of familiar elements Windows users will understand even if they are labeled slightly different.

I get it but I picked Mint not only for my recommendation to new users but the platform I advocate the most for on my YouTube channel. For anyone who isn’t computer savvy there isn’t a more straightforward and easy to use distro. If we want to grow the Linux community we have to be open to users with extremely limited knowledge regarding computing in general.

This does mean hand holding people through a setup even if there is a guide available. That’s my goal with my channel. To spread FOSS awareness and to show people how easy it is to make the switch to an overall better computer experience.

It’s on almost every book. I thought it was just standard marketing copy at this point.

My first attempt had me pressing a foot against the stall door while I used my arms for balance against the walls 😅

In Taiwan they color the doors or just put a man/woman sign on the door. They will still use mandarin but it’s easy for people like me to figure it out.

They also get bonus points for being extremely handicapped friendly with their bathrooms. Better than a lot of places I’ve used in the US as far as privacy and accessibility are concerned.

They also label the outside stall doors with western and eastern style toilet signs so you can pick the one you want without peeking into every stall like a weirdo.

From my perspective it’s weird watching lemmy users constantly talk about lemmy like you all live in a private house. I’m from kBin but most of my subs are beehaw and lemmy.

The entire point of all of this is to find the best communities for you. The same idea should be discussed across various forums because forcing a community into one place allows for power hungry people to become moderators who censor and control the community. It also usually becomes an echo chamber as new opinions get squashed by popular ones.

I agree there might be better ways to organize everything but I think the first best step is to get everyone to realize that this isn’t a “us or them” or a “lemmy or kBin”. It’s more like I’m logged in through AOL and you’re logged in through EarthLink. Now we get to browse all this stuff in these shared spaces.

I always assume it’s the new guys or gals that are doing it.

That’s actually a good idea.

Unless I’m drunk I usually make the same capitalization error in my password on the same character every time. So it’s easy to delete that one character and hit enter.

You can achieve a similar result by using a metal butt plug.

Ah, nothing like a good afternoon existential crisis to really set you up for a good nights sleep 😅

I just want to exist for awhile. No demands, no stress, no desire for food or water, no life or death. Just exist for awhile in my own little universe devoid of time.

I’m sure it doesn’t work that way and I’d get bored of it eventually but I wonder what it would be like to have that level of freedom, if only for a few moments.

NumbersCanBeFun,

It won’t but I still appreciate the thoughts. Thanks op.

I knew an extremely functional alcoholic like that once. Dude was a beast with computers and coding but he would rip through two to three Natty Daddy’s a night. Super smart but I just can’t believe he can consume so much every night and function like a normal human being the next day. Apparently he would write and fix code while drinking. Kind of seems like a recipe for disaster but sure enough, he gets it done and done right.

I tried what he did once and nursed a hangover for the better part of a day.

It depends if it’s in good taste. I consider the image above “low hanging fruit” 😅

I hate “dumb pot head” jokes. Some of the smartest electrical engineers I’ve ever worked with all smoke copious amounts of weed. One of them says he does math better when he is stoned. I didn’t believe him until we starting flinging random math problems at him after a dab hit. I do not question his authority on the subject any longer.

This is making a huge assumption that he existed in the first place. Not sure about you guys but I can’t recall the last time an angel just descended upon us to unleash his wisdom. Pretty sure they were just high as fuck back then and wrote whatever nonsense they could come to with.
