Hell ya Cape Breton getterrrrrr!!!

The companies want to make more money, and they have (what they think) a captive audience that will put up with the increase in costs. Pull off the bandaid all at once to maximize the probability that everyone will shrug and take it.

Ya you absolutely deserved to catch flack for that.

You are saying that gender is the same as sex and they’re categorically different things. It’s very easy to learn the difference so if you insist on arguing against facts, you’re damn right people are going to butt against you.

You’re arguing against treating people with kindness by pointing to the fact that they’re a minority. Lmao that’s the definition of a bigot.

What’s the context? Sounds vague.

Small town vibes is exactly how I’d put it haha. I tend to recognize a few posters here and there. Just like at my town’s post office 😂

Cherish it now haha. If this place ever gets a lot more popular, you’ll start seeing all sorts of dumb takes and behaviours again 🤪

The misinfo on Reddit is wild. Just shows people don’t understand federation and how the views of one instances’ moderators doesn’t impact what people can say or do on other instances.

Lmao this was good. You forgot to comb through my post history to see if you can make your comment even more hard-hitting by referencing a personal problem I have that was highlighted in a post or comment from 6 months ago 🤪

It’s like a little trophy or a symbol of validity to some people. You’d see big edits addressing downvoted as if people got personally hit in the head with them.

I don’t blame people though because viscerally, these things are little tokens of “approval” by others at large.

Yay!

Every comment I would make on Reddit seemed to get challenged by someone looking to start a long-winded argument as they were, in fact, the main character of the universe.

I like it here because so far, people are nice. It’s like the first day of high school and everyone just wants to be friends and meet people.

I would take over Elons account and make a lengthy and heartfelt apology to the LGBTQ community and announce that I’m implementing anti hate speech moderation and will be kicking off bigots.

I just wanna watch the whole thing burn personally 🥰

Just a reminder to be super nice to the devs. It’s literally free work for us. The Mlem dev was swamped by nasty people with complaints and ended up dropping off the project due to burnout.

I went to India (New Delhi, Goa, Chennai, Jaipur) as a middle class Canadian.

People hanging off the side of busses, monkeys running around everywhere, open sewage, cows eating garbage on the side of the road, literally everyone staring at me, tons of people following me trying to give me directions to tourist sites, different views on personal space.

Shit was wild.

Ya that was one of the things I’ve tried. I’m going to try disconnecting all my hard drives except for the one I want windows on and buy a brand new usb stick and hope for the best.

Happy to get any input from anyone on this so I do appreciate the offer :)

I have 2 nvme drives that are completely empty and have been formatted and drive partitions deleted several times.

Every time I install windows from a usb key, the installation goes without a hitch up until the installation restart. Then, my motherboard gives me the error: B1InitializeLibrary failed 0xc00000bb.

All the advice online that I can find involves trying to repair the installation using bootrec.exe and fixing mbr and rebuilding bcd. I get weird errors that differ every time when I do this.

The most painful part of this all is that the very first time I installed windows, it all worked perfectly. I fucked it all up when I decided to install Fedora Linux on the second drive. It messed up booting and everything since.

I can install Fedora Linux on any of these two nvme drives and boot to them perfectly without any issues which means this is not a hardware issue. Blaaaahhh. I just wanna use my new Index 😭

I built a desktop for VR, just received my Index in the mail, and have spent the last 3 days desperately trying to install Windows.

Nothing I’ve tried has worked and my computer confidence is shattered lol. I may get high and try again. Maybe my wife helps. She’s great at being calm.

Emojis are another means to express human intent. Don’t mold your personality over what other people might like.

The very presence of authoritarian personality in any random subset of human populations is why we can’t have nice things.

It’s so hard to see from your perspective sometimes. Feels like everything’s a conspiracy haha. But you are 100% correct.

The “them” we feel is the sum of all human outcomes, personified as a discrete organism. Maybe all of humanity is one big mega-organism and thats the “them”.
