agitatedpotato,

Oops my sushi fell on its side and turned into quiche.

agitatedpotato,

Should he? Probably not. Would he do a better job in office than the idealogicaly brain dead choices being ‘weekend at bernies’ed’ by the highest paying lobbyists we’ve had since Citizens United? Absolutely.

I just ask that people realize what I realize, which is it’s an issue with ME that I’m not secure enough to be with a person who I can see having sex with someone else. I cannot control my feelings but I am responsible for them, or at the very least, other people are not responsible for them(at least in this example anyway it’s not as if the of model was having sex with other people AT me.)

Im someone for whom C is a necessity like the person you’re responding too and I think you’re 100% right.

It may not be a nessesarily pathological insecurity, but it absolutely is an insecurity.

If I felt more secure I’d probably be able to deal with it. I don’t think that means im a necessarily insecure person, or am someone for whom insecurity is a clinical problem, but at least comparatively that makes it an insecurity.

You can get depressed and not have depression, you can get insecure and not be an insecure person, heck you can even maintain a healthy amount of anxiety. These are essentially just human traits and there’s no shame in admitting that I have a trait that’s at least a little rooted in insecurity so long as it doesn’t negatively impact my life.

Oh absolutely, I dont feel bad about that. But the feeling I get thinking about being with someone who does that kind of stuff is exactly a feeling of insecurity. It’s fine and normal, same way its normal to have a little anxiety or a little depression. In healthy doses it’s essentially just personality traits, but to me those feeling stem from insecurity. Perhaps it’s even innate and not something to be ‘fixed’ but it still feels like insecurity to me. But I’m realizing that I suppose I can only speak for myself here.

agitatedpotato,

It doesn’t have to. Same with anxiety, alone no one’s going to think the word itself is good, yet a healthy dose of anxiety is simply awareness.

agitatedpotato, (edited )

Thats not what I think it should mean, thats how emotions work. Those feelings stem from insecurity. That’s factual. People say they’re so OCD when they like to be organized, is that what OCD means now?

agitatedpotato,

I think you’re grasping at straws because you don’t want to engage with complex feelings.

agitatedpotato,

You seem to be the only one who doesn’t get it. Good luck with your emotional intelligence though.

agitatedpotato,

Really scaping the bottom of the barrel. Seems to me is synonymous with looks to me. Got anything else or just more dissappontment for your English teacher?

agitatedpotato,

Its all true because to them the left is anyone that they dont like or agree with.

I love ar in flight sims, moving your head to move the camera view across the huge amount of instruments is so nice when youve got hands on the stick and throtle and both feet in the rudder pedals.

agitatedpotato, (edited )

I can make do without the tactile in most places but a good force feedback controller for setting trim would be sooooo nice.

agitatedpotato,

A lot of the sports sub mods I frequent put up a hard fight and many just walked away. The change in those communities has been noticable. Especially since they can no longer use API to import clips as they happen, engagement and content is way down. There used to be highlights for days, just automatically.

agitatedpotato,

Not supporting a game is not a reason to switch to linux, and the more games aren’t supported, the less people are gonna switch. The Linux zeal on this site is comical.

“Haha my OS cant play games that have millions of concurrent daily users each!”

How the year of the Linux gaming PC coming?

agitatedpotato, (edited )

That’s a great argument for the extremely small percentage of gamers who give a damn about that, but just about all of them are already on linux, so if that’s the way forward for linux gaming, congrats it’s at full saturation. This site is wild. Downvotes for pointing out thay not running games thay millions play a day is bad for gaming on the OS. I may as well be talking to Republicans about Biden. You’re zealots.

Go on the legaue and valorant forums see how many of the millions you can convince that Linux security is more important than being able to play with their friends.

agitatedpotato,

League of Legends doesn’t run on console . . .

agitatedpotato,

Lol bold opinion on this site when people are already responding that its good for Linux gaming that it won’t play games that has intrusive anticheat. I’ll admit sure it’s better for security, but to think that’s a good thing for gaming on Linux is hilarious.

agitatedpotato, (edited )

Pro tip, you can not install those games on literally every OS, so even if that’s a feature for you, its one you absolutely do not need linux for.

“Thats the best part of my ti 89 calculator. It doesn’t play Lol Cod or Valorant!”

What a brilliant feature, that calculator was ahead of its time.

agitatedpotato, (edited )

The comment was about valorant, did that one ever work on Linux, if so I wasn’t aware that they figured it out. Didnt seem like a joke, and people are unironocally agreeing with it soooo

agitatedpotato, (edited )

Nowhere did I say that, what I said is most gamers do not care. So what I’m implying is if you want Linux desktop OS to overtake the next highest competitor (which is ‘OS unknown’ btw) you’re going to need to do better. For at least the past 20 years gaming has been a social phenomena more than anything else, and not being able to play games that millions play daily isn’t a brag for linux gaming just because you’re more secure than they are. Unknown OS is ahead of linux on desktop share, not just gaming desktop, all desktop. Linux ranks just below a statistical anomaly and just above chrome os. If that’s fine with you than fine, but if you’re one of the people for whom gaming is a very social thing, then you’re probably never moving to linux at this rate, or at least hope things get better. But apparently I’m the only one unsatisfied with what gaming on linux looks like, and everyone else loves it as is. Welp, if that’s how it is and this is what linux gaming is supposed to be, then it’s defiantly not for me either.

agitatedpotato,

How a computer scientist thinks words should be pronounced is not as convincing an argument as so many here seem to think.

agitatedpotato,

In that case Canadian French should be it’s own language.

Honestly - How much will you sacrifice for a better world?

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals, confront socioeconomic inequality, and ultimately build a better world without significant personal sacrifice: How much are you personally capable and willing to lose? I mean this in the most earnest way possible. Acknowledging the likely possibility of working...

agitatedpotato, (edited )

Less and less as time goes on. Spent far too much of my youth sacrificing hoping a difference would be made only for it to leave me in a materially much worse situation. I should have just stayed in the major that would have gotten me a high paying job making weapons for the military and harming the environment rather than going into a science more designed to help people. If I were going to judge by personal outcomes and no other measure, that was the worst mistake of my life. I wish I could have been happy being part of the problem, because being part of the solution hasn’t helped myself or even materially advanced the solution.

agitatedpotato,

Therapy doesn’t fix any of the most pressing issues I have. I’d wager about 85% or more of my stress is economic or environmental in nature. My big three worries are how am I gonna afford a house by myself, how am i going to be able to retire on little money and without kids, and is the envrioment going to lose the ability to sustain human life while I’m still alive and on nothing more than a fixed income.

I don’t need to journal my thoughts and pretend the outside world doesn’t exist, I need some damn material security in my life.
