Fuck right off, my life sucks enough. My precious little dog is my one ray of sunshine in my life, he’s always happy to see me and never fails to bring a smile to my face. Dogs are just the best, idk how anyone could possibly not like them, it just doesn’t compute for me.

AmosBurton_ThatGuy , 2 days ago

Dogs are the best, I’ll never understand how people can dislike them.

AmosBurton_ThatGuy , 2 days ago

Yeah that’s completely fair, there are valid reasons for not liking dogs, I’m just being a bit hyperbolic.

I hate discord as much as the next lemming, but it’s meant to be a quick chat style service, so lack of proper spelling and punctuation doesn’t bother me like it does on most other social media. As long as the information you get from others is correct, who cares about the spelling tbh.

AmosBurton_ThatGuy OP , 3 days ago

Thank you very much for the detailed response, it’s very helpful! Browsing through the discover store is actually fun, like the good old days of checking out random programs on windows before everything went to shit.

Thanks again, it’s much appreciated!

AmosBurton_ThatGuy OP , 3 days ago

Thanks for the link, I should’ve browsed there before asking my questions, lots of good info there.

Thank you!

AmosBurton_ThatGuy OP , 3 days ago

Absolute rookie mistake by me to not go to the source for information first, that’s my bad. Thanks for the link!

AmosBurton_ThatGuy OP , 3 days ago

Thank you, I’ll look into that and see if that works for me!

Yes I’m trying to install the Plex media server app so that I don’t have to boot back into windows whenever I or my family wants to use Plex. I don’t have a dedicated server so I just install it on my main pc. Still haven’t figured out how to get it installed tbh, any help on that front would be much appreciated!

AmosBurton_ThatGuy OP , 2 days ago

I’m perfectly fine with that, in fact I’d like to learn more about how to use the terminal in detail cause I find it fun. Part of why I switched to Linux is because I’m bored of Windows, among many other issues it has these days. Learning a new OS is fun, I’m enjoying my time with Linux so far.

You’re the 2nd person to bring up my choice of Bazzite, I don’t have much installed yet so I’m open to switching to another distro if that’ll make things easier for what I want my system to do. I almost installed Endeavour OS but ended up going with Bazzite because I’ve heard that Arch distros can be a pain to keep up, but I’m speaking out of ignorance, I still know barely anything about Linux.

Basically I want something at least somewhat stable for a Linux noob, but I don’t want something like Ubuntu or Linux mint, I’d prefer a more “intermediate” distro over a beginner one like the previously mentioned distros. Building Arch from scratch is a bit much for me for example, but I don’t want it overly simplified either. What would you recommend for a distro?

AmosBurton_ThatGuy OP , 2 days ago (edited 2 days ago)

I’m kinda mixed on it so far, I feel like I should’ve gone with something like Endeavour OS or something similar. Using a more commonly used distro would simplify troubleshooting and provide a bigger user base to siphon information from. I don’t have any problems with Bazzite but I’m kinda feeling like I’m missing out by not using something a bit more complex tbh.

I’ve read about rpm-ostree and my impression is I’d rather not use it to install anything if I can avoid it, which also feeds into my desire to use a different distro.

Bazzite comes pre-installed with distrobox and boxbuddy, I’ll need to put more effort into learning how to use it. I’ve read up on the basics of it but I haven’t yet put in the effort to fully understand that program.

I’ll check out that video, thank you for the link. I also wanted to say that you’ve been a massive help and I greatly appreciate all of your help that you’ve provided me! Thank you!

AmosBurton_ThatGuy OP , 2 days ago

That’s very useful information, I’ll try that when I’m back at my pc. Thank you!

Infinite poop.

You sit on the toilet to poop, but the poop never stops coming out of your butt. You have to start flushing the toilet every two minutes to keep up. You try to pinch your butt closed but that makes your insides hurt. The poop accelerates. You call 911. The paramedics call for doctors. The doctors call for specialists. The story trends on Twitter. You turn down talk show appearances. Your septic tank fails. People form a cult. Your toilet is finished. Volunteers arrive with buckets and shovels. You are completely used to the smell.

The poop accelerates. You are moved to a stepladder with a hole in the top step. The poop accelerates. The shovelers abandon the buckets and shovel directly out the window. The poop accelerates. A candlelight vigil forms around your house. One of the workers falls over and can’t free himself. The poop accelerates. A priest knocks over the stepladder and tackles you out the window. You land in the pile. The poop accelerates.

The force now propels you forward and upward. Vigil goers grab at your legs. The poop ignites from their candles. The Facebook live event hits 1 million viewers. The poop accelerates. You are 30 feet in the air. The fire engulfs the vigil and your house. 60 feet. The poop accelerates. The torrent underneath you is deafening. 5 million Facebook live viewers. You try to close up shop but your butthole disintegrated long ago. 120 feet up. Your house explodes. The poop accelerates. 1000 feet. You are now tracked on radar. You try to change your angle of ascent but you should have thought of that way earlier.

The poop accelerates. 4,000 feet. NORAD upgrades to DEFCON 3. Concentric circles of fire engulf your city. The poop accelerates. You have broken the sound barrier. 30,000 feet. You no longer take in enough oxygen to sustain consciousness. 60,000 feet. CNN is reporting on all the world records you’ve broken. 200,000 feet. You are no longer alive. The poop accelerates. Your body disintegrates but your poop contrail remains. NASA can no longer track you. You break the light-speed barrier and we can no longer bear witness.

The poop accelerates. Forever.

What is my purpose?

AmosBurton_ThatGuy , 16 days ago

So what you’re saying is, I need to dip myself in egg and then get fried? Will that finally get my parents to be proud of me?

Buddy, your account is 10 hours old and all you’ve contributed is negativity. I’m not surprised you can’t get laid, your attitude is bad and you seem like an unpleasant person based off the tone of your comments.

Nobody likes someone that’s perpetually angry. Buddy’s advice to you basically boiled down to “be yourself and be a genuinely kind person” and you just straight up dismiss it as “faking it”. If you have to fake being nice then you should get some help.

AmosBurton_ThatGuy , 17 days ago (edited 17 days ago)

Just wanted to say that both of your replies are great comments, they’re both useful and positive, love seeing comments like yours. They’re well thought out replies!

People like you help to give me back some of my faith in humanity.

Ten forward is a good example, the big posters in c/risa got fed up with the mods and made ten forward on Lemmy.world. Now I almost never see risa anymore but ten forward is always on the front page.

AmosBurton_ThatGuy , 21 days ago

Yep like the account sootius in this thread, 3 month old account and 90% of the comments are just defending hexbear. Buddy really has nothing better to do with their time apparently, pathetic.

I watched all of clone wars shortly after season 7 came out and loved it. Quite a few boring episodes (if you see jar jar just skip the episode) but the good ones are amazing and outnumber the bad. I was in my mid 20s at the time.

AmosBurton_ThatGuy , 27 days ago

As much as I would love if you guys did that, practically guaranteed you’d all be fucked in some way because “rules for thee not for me”

Can’t be having filthy peasants disturbing the very hard working politicians and local rich people 🙄

God I hate how the world works.

Jesus. Anything over 20c is too much for me. I can’t even fathom what 50c feels like and I hope I never have to experience that.

Edit: Does this show as a gif for anyone else? I’m using sync and that just shows a static picture unless I click on it.

AmosBurton_ThatGuy , 27 days ago

Huh interesting, it shows up as a gif when I send it as a text, guess I’ll have to upload gifs to a 3rd party website next time.

My bad.

Yeah, we in Canada aren’t having the greatest time unless you already own a house or are very well off already. No working class person is gonna be buying a house without god tier credit and skimping on everything as much as possible and even then itll be insanely hard. Rent? Went from 1800 for an old but well maintained 3 bedroom in 2017 in a nice neighbourhood to 3 fucking grand for a run down shit hole 3 bedroom in a sketchy neighbourhood with a slum lord. That was mid 2022. Shits only gotten worse since then.

Where I live you basically have only 3 options for work. Minimum wage like grocery stores, fast food etc(which are 90% TFWs cause nO oNe WaNtS tO wOrK). Government jobs for people with an education. Construction/camp jobs if you want more than minimum wage without a degree, but your old age is gonna be worse than it already is due to trading your body for a higher wage.

I’m all for good people coming here, but make sure you know what you’re getting into first. It’s fucking expensive to live here unless you wanna live in a shit hole small town (which has its own hidden expenses that eat into the savings on rent)

Even if we don’t cause our own extinction, the sun is getting hotter as it ages and in approximately 1 billion years it will have gotten hot enough to render Earth uninhabitable for life as we know it.

Then, 3-4 billion years after that, it’ll finish the job by most likely swallowing up 3 of the inner planets when it reaches the red giant phase of its life. Even the corpse of Earth will die.

Where’s the line? Should normal people also not be able to have German Shepard’s since they’re also dangerous if not raised properly? I had a GS in the past and she was one of the best dogs I’ve ever had, amazing and funny personality and insanely loveable. But that’s because she was brought up in a house where she was treated right and raised right.

Blame the dumbass owners not the dogs themselves ffs. Just because you or someone else is scared of certain dogs doesn’t mean they should be blanket banned for everyone.

I mean, the post you’re replying to was obviously sarcastic when I read it, even before I got to the edit. Blows my mind how many people can’t see that and need to have their hands held with an /s 🙄

AmosBurton_ThatGuy , 1 month ago

I mean I get that but this post is obviously sarcasm. Use your fucking head dumbass its not that fucking hard.

God damn people are stupid as fuck.

IMO early Nickleback up to about the early/mid 2000s was awesome, I still listen to their older stuff once in a while. Someday is their best song IMO and its from the late 90s (I think?)

Because the neighbours with nothing better to do vote in every single election and are therefore more important to not piss off. Fuck NIMBYs.

Fallout 4 kind of in a weird place where it’s simultaneously a bad Fallout game and arguably the best Bethesda game.

Thank you

That’s how I’ve described fallout 4 since it first came out. Nice to see someone else had the same thought. It’s a great game and I’ve put a ton of time into it and I play through it every 2 years at most.

But it’s really not a great fallout game. The game overall is excellent but it feels the least fallout-y, to me at least.
