Did Poland really not learn its lesson in WW2? Why are they still gravitating heavily (vs other countries) towards fascist leaders? Is there a culture thing going on that I never learned? Is there some socio-economic reason that smarter polish people are leaving Poland or dumber people are going to Poland or maybe not able to leave to better conditions?
This needs studying if we don’t have answers.
I didn’t want a cat because I’m allergic. My wife rescued a cat before we were married because she needed companionship in college for the last year. I just deal with my allergies now, and the cat loves cuddling. What can you do?
Cat tax included.
Anti anxiety/antidepressants did it for me!
In Washington, you have to pay more to get the enhanced license to get real ID. It’s dumb that it’s not on the base ID…
Need For Speed for being anti authority? Honestly, I have been missing a new NFS game. The last one came out in 2022, and the longest wait between them since 1994 was 3 years… Definitely didn’t play them all, but the last two, Heat and Unbound, were surprisingly good.
This is what I was missing from Reddit. Recognizing a prominent user across tons of different communities makes the fediverse feel warm.
Same. I was constantly on Apollo. I loved the dev and how active they were. I got all the fun in jokes and considered it a very nerdy activity to scroll Reddit. Swapped to a new instance after a while, so this account isn’t as old as that.
Now I’m on Voyager and have swapped to Linux, so I guess the hive mind here is strong too!
Just make a live boot drive and try it out! Maybe get a little partition setup. I’ve been running Kubuntu for 3 weeks just fine! I am tech savvy though, but most of the things I needed to be savvy at were only because my PC is also my media server. It was less than 1.5 hours to set up gaming and all my window management options and whatnot. And now everything just works.
Finally swapped to Linux last week and loving it! Kubuntu because I wanted KDE for KZones since I was using FancyZones from PowerToys on Windows. The hardest part was migrating my qBitTorrent, Sonarr/Radarr/Plex because they all point to windows drives. A simple replace in the DB file fixed it, and we’re running smoothly!
Gonna get an auto encode/upload working this weekend, and I’m so excited. I don’t feel held back like windows, and it doesn’t feel like work configuring it, which I was afraid of.
A few hiccups here and there, but I think of it like growing pains that will eventually go away.
Every time my parents or grandparents ask, my wife and I say we won’t be trying until one more year. I think the current value is we need to be 55 years old.
We didn’t even formally classify the fungi kingdom until 1969. We still classified it under plantae kingdom.
I would love DST permanent, but I understand that it’s not great mentally for school kids to get up and go to school in the dark. I would sacrifice that for the next generation to have a better experience.
But really we should start school later.
The Seattle zoo also rejected federal funding with these strings. My wife lost her job because of it. Because it was just for one program and the no-DEI was organization wide…
Apparently the Portland Zoo signed it… No one expected that shit. We both let her parents know that this is because of their vote in another state.

Tech jobs in Seattle go crazy! We make ends meet since we all have some kinda job. Not too crazy since we’re still renting. But eventually we want to be permanent in. Seattle!
Being polyam in Seattle is great. All of my coworkers know I’m poly and just accept it. All the bartenders know too. Makes it easy for them to start the tab.
I’m a James! The third to be precise. My gramps went by Jack, and my dad by James, so I had to go by Jimmy. I still own it to this day. Other fun nicknames I’m occasionally called are Jimbo, Jymbo, Jambers, Jimboree, Jimbob, JimJam, Jombers, Jimothy, and Jammy. It’s fun having a nickname as the name I go by! Nowhere on my documents does it say “Jimmy” but that’s what everyone calls me.
I’m an outlier because I live in a walkable neighborhood in a city. But I have 10 breweries within walking distance around my house. I know the owners by name for 2 of these breweries and the bartenders know me for 4 of them. I think they all know my dog.
I usually go with my wife and/or girlfriend about 2-4 days a week, but it’s still very much a hang out.
We’re also Friday regulars to a semi-close bar every Friday because I won a free beer/week for a year in a $25 raffle!
