I always wanted children.

I can’t afford one.

I run arch on my main ghetto rig. I like linux, I just want a windows machine too.

What should I look out for as far as those security features?

I specifically want to run the Sims 2 with a 20+ gb mod folder, which idk how well that would work with proton.

 

I worked for a shady evil company, and when they illegally fired me, I never ended up returning a laptop - thinkpad running windoze.

Let’s say I wanted to put Win 8 or similar on it so I can play some video games. What would potentially be barriers to doing this? Said evil company is hopefully going out of business soon, and is a clusterfuck anyway, so they might not end up asking for it back.

What I'm insinuating here is that there is a weird bias/over regulations in labeling vegan products, that is not applied to other products.

Eg - why do businesses get to sell "crab meat" which is not crab but other fishes, and this is not considered misleading? Or "fruit snacks" in the US that are candy and contain no fruit.

But ag wants to control terms like "milk" and not allow things like "oat milk" to be called oat milk. There's been pushes to not allow presenting beef alternatives as beef alternatives.

I’ve seen it argued that “fake meat” is inherently misleading, while if I buy “grapefruit juice” at the store it is likely to be more apple or pear, and there is not really a push to regulate there.

Odd that language around surimi/imitation crab meat tends to be completely unregulated and misleading.

Almost like this is less about informing the costumer, and more about something else…

Same with house centipedes. They are friends, even if they look like something out of a sci fi movie.

Is that really a concern? I’m US-based, so our cops are sadists…

One of my projects is something that I would be willing to be arrested for. That kind of civil disobedience would draw attention to my cause, and it is one that I think most people would be empathetic too - my mission is drawing attention to abuse at a children’s psychiatric facility.

I did have an adventure today - even got chased down by a dog! Feel like a proper crimethinc member.

 

Former strait-laced full time professional normie. As a queer, recent events have broken my brain and I’m ready to start fighting.

Posters seem safe. I’ve heard wheatpasting is a thing? It seems like it would be harder to get in and out that way - the double sided tape someone could load up ahead of time, hit and run. Is the appeal of wheatpasting that it’s natural/cheap?
