Not today! Ha. Excellent write up, ty. That does seem awfully plausible and pragmatic in an awful sort of way.
It makes you wonder about the Carthagenians and Druids. Both religions the Romans persecuted heavily. Makes you wonder if the accusations of child sacrifice and ritualistic cannablisim was ancient propaganda or if there was some truth in it. Cause they were pretty tolerant* to just about everyone else.
*Tolerant by ancient conquering slave owning rampaging army standards.
Nothing to add, just appreciate the write up! Informative AF
That's a sleeper of a show! Steve Buscemi is in it, who seems a gem as well.
Ten years in moving equipment, freight, and yes the odd mobile home. Not to mention an all American white trash upbringing.
And here's your dolly!
They get a dolly to put those houses on. They absolutely do not sit on tires when they're in parks. Even cheap retreads are too expensive to be leaving under houses.
Poor kitty!
Poor kitty!
Lol Indiana sucks donkey dick.
Sentience and the knowledge of it. We know automobiles and meat production are killing this planet. A raccoon does not.
I know you're getting down voted to hell but I agree. People are losing sight of just how shitty Hamas is. This is exactly what they wanted, they care even less about their own peoples lives, happy to use them as human shields. A hundred thousand martyrs. Fucking embarrassing to be human sometimes.
Remember when is the lowest form of conversation!
With a keen mind like that, you could be president of something!
I switched to Linux mint. No ragrets. It takes a bit of fiddling and a teensie bit of a learning curve. But it's way easier than Microsofts endless deluge of shit.
I'm excited at your dearth of excitement! Enjoy the off time!
My brother is coming tomorrow! We're gonna hang for a day then go north and hang with the rest of the fam. So exited, haven't seen him for a year!
I have a new religion!
Prometheus didn't gift us fire and cognition. Lies. We are Prometheus's curse on the universe. Nothing more than a plague on the gods creation, concocted for some slight we can never understand. The sum of us, brought into being, then tossed into the void and forgotten. To spread like an oil stain across creation.
I think that's what a lot of people miss is the trade/political aspect of schism. While I'm sure millions held genuine beliefs, it's hard to understate the economic reality of the church in those days. Huge land holdings, an ancient web of power and obligations reaching into every life, every transaction, every political appointment. When it became conceivable to break with this system, it was broken. This breaking was Consequential. Hence the centuries of warfare and strife. It's all about that money honey.
Mint is up and running!
Thank you all who reached out, it really was awesome.
Was super easy, even my Nvidia cards driver was basically automated. Haven't played anything yet but I'm sure I'll be fine.
I opened up the command thingy a couple of times just to get some settings how I wanted them, but could have gotten by without it.
The biggest stumbling block for me personally was getting the thumb drive in order, then the hardware to boot from it. First you gotta use a thing called Rufus to format the drive correctly, not sure how or why, but you do.
And then I couldn't get my laptop to load bios no matter what key/s I mashed at restart, but searching " advanced startup options" in settings brought me to a menu to reboot from my (now correctly formatted) USB drive.
The rest drove itself. Still some stuff to figure out with it but it's doable. Very polished and user friendly.Thank you all again so much!
Need a good resource to learn linux
I just fucking can't with windows anymore. I'd preach about it but I imagine you've heard it all. I have minimal computer expertise.
I use my PC mainly for streaming, downloading torrent files who's copyright you don't need to worry about, and light gaming. Usually just messing with New Vegas mods.
If someone knows of a good YouTube channel or guide or something written for andelder millennial caveman I would be grateful.
Edit: after having been recommended mint OS and giving it a quick Google, I got this! I haven't fucked with anything linux scince the early aughts. And holy shit has that come a ways. Guess I remembered back and got a little intimidated. Mint is downloading now. As a small f.u. I booted up edge to do it. Ty you beautiful people!

Sorry to flood y'all with photos of the same cat. I have time on my hands for a bit and have been posting daily. If you guys get sick of it let me know and I'll cool it.
This is Miss Caligula, we call her calie or just kitty for the most part. I found her as a stray kitten a few years ago. She's the most social cat, will go on walks with you and involve herself with most activities. I swear sometimes she understands English.
Great mouser, horrible birder (thank God). I know there's a lot of good reasons to keep cats indoors but she was not having it. We try to keep her collar on when she's outside. Such a good kitty

First survey of the bird feeder/breakfast supervision. Such a helpful kitty.
