Looks like the east coast already took them all.

I mean, they’re right, though I wouldn’t use the word “saving”. I’d rather be “saved” from raw, unbridled capitalism.

I felt the same way. Also have a history of depression, your post resonates with me.

The main thing I discovered is the difference between life-giving activities and life-draining activities. As a new parent, I felt guilty that I didn’t have the energy for some hobbies and gravitated to others. Things can be enjoyable but also leave you feeling drained–those are the things that will probably need to be on hold for a while. Once my kids got to school age, my energy levels changed dramatically and I’m now starting to get back into some of those things again.

Parent of 4 and 6 year olds here–short answer, yes. Specifically, around age 4 is when you get better sleep and your kid doesn’t require quite as much supervision. There are challenges at every stage, but 0-5 is the hardest in my opinion. It’s okay to put some things on hold and lower your expectations for that time.

Different torrent clients have options for that. Most will seed indefinitely by default, but some you can set to seed just for a specific amount of time or until you upload a certain percentage of what you download.

The left/right brain thing has never had any scientific backing. We use both hemispheres of our brain for art and logic.

In addition, cursive is no more a form of drawing than block printing is. And it was historically used primarily to speed up writing and make quills last longer. It is often used in calligraphy, but that’s not typically what boomers are ranting about (very few of them know the first thing about calligraphy).

Taking notes by hand does have documented benefits, but I’m not aware of any evidence that cursive is better than block printing (unless speed is a significant concern). And as a millenial who grew up reading and writing both, I can say with certainty that block printing is typically more legible and more consistent across penmanship.

Well well, how the turntables…

Love me some Herb Alpert. Still slaps.

No problem! It’s a valid question. There are labels for what gender you’re attracted to, but they’re less clear in the case of trans and intersex folks. And it’s better to ask than assume!

It’s perfectly valid to have preferences on both presented gender and genitalia. Some people only prefer masculine or feminine presentation but are good with whatever hardware; others care less about presentation but have strong preferences on what a partner is packing. Others care about both, others are good with whatever.

Where someone might need to be tactful is if they prefer someone whose genetalia is opposite of that typically possessed by that gender. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that preference, but trans folks have been fetishized and objectivized in the past, and anyone with those preferences would need to be particularly sensitive to that.

Don’t forget the kidnappings!

This is worse than Harambe.

Didn’t even know there were 4.1 TB of genders.

It’s not. Neither is triple checking. Notice how the alias doesn’t actually run dd? That’s on purpose.

It’s not so crazy these days. In several years of running arch, only once has an update broken anything (and that’s because I was messing around with virtual machines).

They call it disk destroyer for a reason. You gotta alias that shit.

alias dd='echo Did you triple check which device you picked? Of course not, dipshit. Check again'

Linux runs on almost anything these days. I’ve installed Mint on Lenovos, Dells, and HPs without issue (even media keys all worked out of the box). As others have suggested, I’d probably look into used business workstations from the last five years to ensure you’ll get a solid five to ten years out of it.
