  • I wish it was the year of Linux, and they get 90%+ market share overnight when Gabe Newell announces you can play Half Life 3 exclusively on Steam OS, which includes in-game copies of The Winds of Winter, Doors of Stone, an English translation of Mother 3, and footage of 10 seasons of Firefly that had secretly been produced in private for Gabe.

    The downside is they start the enshittification process immediately. The DRMs get worse, then the ads come, and finally the lawsuits and psyops on distros that treat us well and give us options.


  • I had a similar experience in the last year. They basically try to trick you into paying. They know exactly what they are doing too.

    This one time a few years ago I literally went in for a check up (first time all year) to find I had a completely new doctor assigned to me. And I couldn’t even make this shit up if I tried. The new doctor was not in my network, they did not inform me during my visit, and he tried to get me to do shit (upcharge) that fortunately I outright refused the entire time we spoke.

    When the bill came they tried to charge me out of network prices, and I basically fought them for six months saying that it was a surprise bill until they finally gave up. I don’t plan on ever going back to that office again in my life.



  • While misconduct may have occurred here I have to mention that these rooms are highly important to the safety of these kids.

    At special needs schools you can find many individuals who are having a bad day, and they can be incredibly violent to themselves and those around them. I personally know dozens of women who have come home from work with cuts, bruises, sprains and even broken limbs over the years. And these are people who were all professionally trained to hold the children in a very specific manor to both restrain and not harm them at the same time.

    That doesn’t make it okay to do the things described here, but once it becomes politicized, you can find people who know nothing about the situation making it way worse for everyone.

    An example of an obvious problem here: no one should ever be locked in these rooms, and an aide should always be watching them until they have calmed down from their outburst. The fact that locks even exist on those doors was just a ticking time bomb for something bad to happen to a child.


  • You’re human. You’re not even the 1000th person I’ve spoken to on the internet, nor the 1st I’ve met in real life that have asked these questions.

    As Lauchs said, physical activity is the closest thing. Start with a hike to a mountaintop or swimming if you’re able to. If you aren’t able to do those types of things, perhaps try something less demanding such as table tennis or a jog through a park.

    If you continue to be curious about sex, and are open to the idea, consider paying for it. As long as you are safe and wear protection their is no shame in it despite the societal stigma. You might learn something about yourself, despite the lack of physical sensation.



  • If you read the manual for your microwave you’ll learn a lot about what it is capable of. My Panasonic microwave not only has a sensor cook mode for popcorn, but you can specify the weight of the bag and you can even add or subtract 10-30 seconds to dial it in prior to starting.

    I recommend microwaves that have inverters in them, as well as moisture sensors.
