Retunal… and I FINALLY just recently beat it

I’ve been playing it off and on for about two years now, and it was so satisfying to finally finish the main story

Who’s to say you’re not (I won’t, at the least)?

perfectionist mindset - as one is writing,

I think an “M-Dash (perfectionist mindest— as one is writing,)” would be more appropriate than an “N-Dash” in your statement. No ‘nested’ parentheses needed (unless you’re looking to add non-essential (though insightful) info to your sentence); but the type of… “PAUSE” makes all the difference

If you buy a gift for someone, but they refuse to accept it, who then owns the gift? You do!

Your anger doesn’t upset me, but you’re still the one left holding it and experiencing it

You sound smart enough to figure out how to find some therapy, my friend. You should try and do that for yourself, or work harder at self-control and compassion

Don’t bother typing a long-winded response, I’m moving on. Good luck to you in all of your endeavors!

Reading your comments as I scroll: maybe you added some insight; but your delivery is crass. It makes you seem deliberately elitist… and makes me ignore your “angry” comments. You’ve made the conversation worse by adding to it, without consideration of anything besides your own opinion

And the worst part is you don’t even consider it a personal failing.

Isn’t that ironic.

You can use money from your 401k (stipulations vary) for a down payment on a first home, without the tax penalty (in America at least)

They also help orphaned children find family and aspirations!

What’s wrong with orcas? I mean, it seems like they’re kinda psychotic… but who’s to judge?

Oh, heard that. I’m on 128 on my phone too and they were all disabled

For everyone trying to find the setting— On my android phone, there’s a setting called “data collection”. Mine were already all off, so idk who it affects

Idk what 128 is on a phone, but my galaxy s21 had everything still off. Guess I’ll have to keep an eye on it

Nah, you broke my brain a bit too lol. I had to re-read carefully to try and follow… and I still wasn’t sure by the end

Huh… that made my brain do a few twists. The reference point for distance would be our own galaxy (I assume). So you would think that the furthest one would be the “oldest” due to expansion of the universe… so I would think that you’re correct in your correction?

Unless they meant “older” in the sense of “discovered earlier”? I have no idea anymore, I guess they could argue it either way

Edit: After re-reading it, I think they’re just referring “Younger” and “Older” to how the galaxies appear to us (due to the time it takes light to travel). As in, the newest discovery is “younger” because that’s the age that we can observe it as, by the time the light has reached us. Idk anymore, I know nothing lol

Hey, I’ve seen you commenting around here before!

Except the “ownership” of a U2 album I guess. Was it an “opt-in” situation, or did people just suddenly own a U2 album?

Also… the amount of money I’ve saved by being able to revive old hardware! I haven’t bought a new computer in 11 years. My computer before that (and still working) was a gift in 2006… that bitch is old enough to vote.

I have other computers that people have given to me because they were “just too old,” but for me, it was an upgrade. I revived a windows 98-era HP a few years ago, just so I could use the 9-pin connection to fix my bricked OG Xbox that I was modding.

Granted, I don’t game on PC or require heavy lifting (though I am saving for a personal build, because there’s some hobbies I just can’t do without a good desktop), but for everyday use, I have more than enough.

I currently have 4 “working” computers. Two of them are my main, one still needs to be “reinvigorated” (it’s 18 years old), and one is my server.

I have a 5th desktop that was given to me (because it was too slow/old), and it just recently crapped out on me (either because of windows bullshit, or a bad hdd. But I have my hunches). So it’s about to be revived when I have time.

Hardest part was getting my wife onboard with switching to Linux, instead of buying a new computer. But now she’s getting ready to switch her Mac to Linux because it’s been struggling. And I think she’s starting to realize that a brand-new computer isn’t really “necessary”, if all you’re doing is email, browsing web, and editing docs. Shit, our phones can handle most of that; you don’t need a $1k+ computer for that, or pay for windows software that will barely work on the hardware you have.

So yeah… end rant. Absolutely love how much Linux has breathed new life into my old hardware. Has saved me time and time again, as well as a bunch of money. I definitely need to throw a donation at a distro, cause they have saved me more than just money at this point

I just finished doing a fresh install this morning, because my wifi card wasn’t working. It honestly needed to be done anyway because I was out-of date, but the wifi card finally got me to back-up all my data and do it.

Fresh install, and wifi still won’t even toggle-on. Was about to look for manual install of the driver, and so on and so forth… and then I noticed my folly

Fucking keyboard has a toggle switch to turn the wifi off. Not the worst and glad I didn’t pull my hair out over it, but damn… felt pretty dumb this morning
