I've spent a lot of time on both windows and a bit less on Linux and I can firmly say I've spent far more time troubleshooting on Linux than on Windows.

Windows tends to give me bullshit like audio crackling or nvidia's stupid fucking software. With Linux the issues tend to be far more drastic, such as UI problems with every window, or misconfigured packages fucking with the entire OS, or an entire operating system just not functioning correctly with my hardware.

A lot of this I could fix by not being such an idiot by how I use Linux, but in my defense at the time I didn't know best practices for using Linux as a general user, and a lot of internet guides sure didn't explain the dangers of what I was doing. Meanwhile, I've never fucked myself enough to need to reinstall windows by reading online guides.

I'm glad I stuck with Linux long enough that it's what I always put on my laptops no matter what, but man I would not want to put that on others, especially people with working lives.

I say this over and over again, but I'm going to say it again. I disagree firmly with the second point because there is such a lead and usability and ease of use for popular commercial software such as Microsoft office and Adobe software. It's available in so many languages, it has so much functionality, and yes, both surpass FOSS solutions by a wide margin in functionality.

If you don't need Excel, I think Linux and libre office might work fine for a lot of people, but there are still gaps in usability and accessibility. I don't really see the same for anything Adobe does in the Linux space however.

Linux is like 90% of the way there, but these are people with jobs and families and shit. You can't expect them to spend time having to overextend themselves with technology.

Plex is better at looking up show names, has an easier UI to set up more complicated stuff like hardware acceleration, has better clients across a variety of platforms... the only reason I'm using Jellyfin over Plex at this point is because I anticipate Plex shitting the bed. If you're on Plex, there's no reason to swap from it, and honestly if you're comparing the two as a newbie, Plex is still a much easier option.

You say the first paragraph is if I don't agree with the idea that you shouldn't have sex with people who are considerably dumber than you. It's generally a little icky if you have sex with someone who is mentally deficient.

You can't really solve the problem of isekai protagonist not being able to have sex. But when you can't have sex, it doesn't give free license to have sex with children.

The thing that makes pedophilia wrong isn't the body types- its the inherent mental advantage and power you have over others with it, alongside the potential harm it can do to a person's growth. I will admit that it's diminished by him being in a child's body that has no authority over her. But it's still not right. I posit that yes, he shouldn't have sex with someone until he's an adult, and that Roxy is a far better match for his true age than the children he would perv on.

You don't have to fuck. It's great and good for your mental, but it's not more valuable than not being a pedophile.

I acknowledge the crudeness helps attract attention to the series, but it still does not make it right.

I will be a "mouth breather", as you say, and posit that the problem isn't his perversion, but the series inability to fully grasp the wrongness of it, and acknowledge that. You don't need some fairy tale with a moral, but it is troubling when it doesn't seem like the creators would have a problem with an adult passing as a kid having sex with kids.

Yeah enjoying the show really does require being slow boiled on garbage anime, like the old tale about the frog and a boiling pot that isn't true.

It's very gross! It also felt like a perfect summation of who he was as a person, though I'm sure that wasn't the intended message that's a creators sought to portray. He nearly held back like he should have and wanted to avoid doing so because he feared she was making a mistake, which she was!

I'm curious why you feel that way. I absolutely adored the ending of the first season- felt like a perfectly human misunderstanding between Rudy and the princess.

The cringe barrier is definitely hard for me to get through. There's a lot of good anime with very dumb moments that I struggle to move forward in.

 

It's actually a really big election year for us in Ohio. We're voting on legalizing abortion and weed in the state, which is insane for an "off-year" election. What's even more crazy is that both look likely to pass.

Who is having trouble finding a hotel room in New York City? It's expensive, but everything is expensive there.
