I’m highly reclusive, so this happens a lot.

I laughed way harder than I should have. Thanks!

The one that works best for your use case.

I happen to know multiple people who haven’t died.

Oh hell naw, I love to sit back, one hand resting on an arm rest, and just navigating with my mouse. Not that I mind using the keyboard, but I have a strong affinity to the mouse. I know the keyboard is “more efficient”, but I’m just more comfortable pointing at things.

And complete websites implemented in Flash. It is a dark time that I don’t like to talk about. The dreams, the dreams won’t leave me alone though, they still haunt me.

As much as I miss the early Internet, there’s some aspects better left forgotten.

I recently installed Windows 10 after a few years of Linuxing and holy shit, the updater is just bad. I had more fun running Gentoo updates back in early 2000’s. How is Windows updater so slow? How is it so bad at informing the user what’s going on? How is it that every open source package manager I’ve used handles update infinitely better? Microsoft has a lot engineers, what are they doing with their time? Why is it so bad? Like, just, why?

Yes, my migraines are mostly “silent” these days. As a teenager, I just had the headaches without aura, but that changed with age. Nowadays I get all kinds of weird and uncomfortable pro- and postdrome effects, like ocular aura, but rarely pain. I have a family member whose only migraine symptom is a crippling stomach ache. Migraines are super weird.

Well, yes and no. It’s kind of an area you can’t see, but it’s there. Also, it starts as a small dot and them starts expanding/moving. It’s also flashing, kind of like static noise on an old TV. Luckily those things usually last like 15 minutes or so. Still, not a fun experience.

Jesus, that is so gaudy.

I’m a responsible adult, which is why I only grow living plastic plants.

The minimal furniture and a sense of free space are great for my mental health. A cluttered home to me feels like a cluttered mind. I don’t want to live in a cage of excess stuff, much like I don’t want to carry unhealthy mental baggage with me, pulling me down. You may see a sparse room, but I see freedom from sensory fatigue. I see freedom.

Here’s a tip I learned so very long ago: Never shop hungry.

That being said, I’m really careful about what I buy anyway and plan my purchases so that I end up using everything. Fresh foods can still spoil because I didn’t spot a moldy spot, but that’s pretty rare. Dried foods are great.

Honestly I have little good advice to give aside from awareness and planning, since I am by nature perfectionist about my food and budgeting and can’t relate to the meme.

George Orwell wrote about his experiences with those in Down and Out in Paris and London. It’s a decent book and an interesting look at poverty of the day.

“No one else can do the work for you.”

You think you’re scarred? You should see my bu- you know what, I’m not making this joke.

Well shit, I guess I have to re-enact 1 man 1 jar…

Evacuation in my ass? Sounds about right.

Live environments of most distros are not meant for long term use. You will lose all your changes on boot, since they exclusively run on RAM and don’t save anything on the USB.

Now, running from USB can be done, but from my understanding, USB sticks are unreliable in the long term, since they start crapping themselves from frequent write operations. There are distros designed to run from USB, like Puppy Linux, but it does come with caveats. I’d say no, it’s not worth it unless you know exactly what you’re doing and why.
