One of the things I've realized over the past couple of days is that when people talk about the economy, they're not always talking about the same thing. When a normal person talks about it, it's things like the cost of goods and housing, when the media and politicians and ultra-wealthy talk about it, they mean rich people's yacht money - and one of the the problems is many people don't realize those aren't the same thing and at this point of our late stage capitalist hellscape both meanings are opposed to each other. Rich people's yacht money is now coming from increasing the cost of things we need to survive.

If Trump dies between now and being sworn in, I might start believing in all of this Jesus and antichrist stuff.

Estrogen is kinda fine, testosterone being a controlled substance makes DIY much more illegal for me.

What direct action will get me the testosterone I need to not kill myself in the event Trump bans all gender affirming care?

Fox just called PA for Trump.

Michigan, and that's where Jordan's werewolf came from too. They're all pretty fantastic. Someone in another thread paired their cat sticker with a Harris Walz cat hat.

In high school, I was in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (I was act 2 open fairy/Peasblossom) and the absolute best part was the play in a play, Wall spoke her lines and flapped off stage like an enormous bat, funniest part of the whole play.

"Athletic fit" jeans are supposed to be designed for guys with thighs and ass. I like the Target brand ones because I need a 28" or 29" inseam and the Target brand shrinks vertically in the wash. I can't buy long sleeve shirts at Target though because those don't shrink to fit my t-rex arms.

You forgot the piano, and the skilled person who is sometimes playing said piano.

Now I want some sour patch kids... Wait, I have sour patch kids because someone stole the bowl off the front porch. Thanks Sunshine and random kleptomaniac kid!

I blame [email protected]'s comment for giving me this idea.

 
 

I have mixed feelings on the pronoun use, but having read some of her autobiographical writing I don't think she would have taken much issue with it. This piece is more focused on her work in computer engineering, so I felt it was appropriate to post here.

 
 
 

I have an HP Stream 11 that I want to use for word processing and some light web browsing - I'm a writer and it's a lightweight laptop to bring to the library or coffee shop to write on. Right now it's got Windows and it's unusable due to lack of hard drive space for updates. Someone had luck with Xubuntu, but it's been a few years and it seems like Xubuntu is no longer trying to be a lightweight distro for use cases like this.

My experience with Linux is very limited - I played around with Peppermint Linux a bit back when it was a Lubuntu fork and I used Ubuntu on the lab computers in college. I can follow instructions to make a live boot and I can do an apt-get (so something Debian-based might be best for compatibility and familiarity) but I mostly have no idea what I'm doing, lol. I used to do DOS gaming as a kid so having to do the occasional thing via command line isn't going to scare me off but I'm not going to pretend to have knowledge I don't. I'm probably going to go with Mint on my gaming laptop next year but I suspect it's not the best choice for my blue bezeled potato (although I might try it anyway).
