Lost_My_Mind

I just had an amazing idea, that I need in my life.

William Shatner needs to perform a spoken word rendition of "Pants on the ground", in the spirit of "Rocketman".

Let's crowdfund this, and make it happen.

It's Tim's fault. It's all Tim's fault.

Blame Tim.

Something going wrong in your life?

Blame Tim.

What did Tim do? Something, I imagine. He's always the one who did it.

Blame Tim.

What happened that Tim is responsible for in your life? Did he forget to buy milk and left the empty carton in the fridge? Did he forget to take the trash out on Wednesday? Did he kill your wife and blame it on the cat? The cat isn't to blame. Tim is to blame.

How do I know?

Look. You're not getting it. We're blaming Tim today, ok?

It's all Tim's fault.

So about 10-15 years ago they closed Lakewood hospital and tore it down.

Now it's just a big grass feild, with no signs of future building, but it's all blocked off with fences.

Why?

If you're not going to do anything with the land, put in some swingsets, and monkey bars. Make it a small little park for the kids. Maybe put some bushes in, some picnic tables.

The land isn't flat, or else it would be a great place to play football games.

Why let the land just be abandoned but blocked off?

"Tonight on QUEEF WATCH! We take a look at various queefs across the city, and ask bartenders if they can identify their patrons by the sound of their queef!

"That was Laura."

"That was Britney."

"That was Abby."

"And later on the show, we'll be interviewing three generations of women. A woman, a daughter, and a grand daughter to find out which generation has the superior queef!"

"Wouldn't all of them be daughters though? Every woman is SOMEBODIES daughter..."

"Well, yeah, but I said it like that so you got a sense of the generations"

"Yeah, I get that, but it's still a weird thing to say. It distracts more than it attracts."

"That was Amber."

I told my friend that my dad got 3 DUI's. Which surprised him. My friend didn't know you could get that many DUI's. He asked "So how does he get around?". So I told him "Well, he lives in Florida, so he drives."

So what you do is you stand on the side of the road, in a cardboard box/lemonaid stand, and it's painted with a sign that says "Join cult here".

Then you go on to tell everyone who's interested in joining that you'd be interested in taking over their daily autonomy, so that you may control what they think, what they do, when they pee, when they sleep, you control their wallet, you control their sex life, their love life, their marriage, everything. You control every aspect of their life, and all they have to do is obey and worship.

Then you hand them a clipboard with an application and a pen on a chain.

At no point do you try to deceive them. You openly tell them that your intentions are to abuse them, take their money, and have them worship false idols, namely you, while you take advantage of them and their family for the rest of their lives. Which if history has taught us anything, will probably end in a mass suicide in some sort of religious ritual.

Then just amass an army of people who joined for whatever reason. What could go wrong?

This video was originally created in 2021, but was released on youtube on June 21st 2025. Within 8 hours of this being released, The United States bombs Iran. So this video will not cover any thing more recent than 2021, and certainly not the recent stuff. Still though, it does do a great job of documenting and explaining how we got to the point we're at now.

I learned a lot from this video. Also, not mentioned in this video, but was mentioned in the comments, is that the oil company discussed in the 1940s that the British controlled that started this whole mess? Later renamed themselves British Petroleum. Yeah. THAT BP. They're still around. This all started because of them.

Sponsered by Tyson chicken. And Mike Tyson punches Neil every time he makes a point. But Neil defends Pluto not being a planet anymore after every point he makes.

C'mon Adult Swim! Greenlight this idea! It wouldn't be the first time you had Mike Tyson on a crazy ass show on your network!

These 18TB drives I have (two of them) are both fine. If I put in my Windows 7 hard drive, windows mounts just fine.

But on my Linux Mint iso usb boot stick, and on my rescuezilla usb boot stick, both sticks refuse to mount these usb drives.

They worked until last night, when my main OS crashed, and won't boot at all now. Luckily I made a backup last night using rescuezilla before I updated.

Which doesn't do me much good when the backup is 600gb, and I don't have a usb stick that big to transfer to, and rescuezilla isn't mounting my hard drives it's saved on.

What do I do?

For a creature that's known for their fashion choices of wearing a white sheet, you'd think there would be more racist ghosts.

They come from a time when it was socially acceptable to be openly racist. Plus, if you go back about 1000 years or so, it was socially acceptable to just murder entire villages because your people didn't like their people.

But anytime you see a ghost, it's always like "oooOOOooooOOOO!! I HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS ON EARTH!!!"

Like, seriously??? Why would a ghost give a fuck if his finances weren't paid before they died?

And, can we talk about ghostbusters for a second? That one judge was like "Oooh, those are the famous criminals that were brothers! I sent them to death row"

But meanwhile they look NOTHING like humans. But somehow he instantly recognizes them. Are we led to believe they looked like ghoulish monsters when they were alive?

And the librarian looks like a human corpse. So, still human, but, like, after her body has been dead a few weeks. Are we to believe she died, and then her spirit stayed inside her rotting corpse of a body and THEN became a ghost, and retained it's final form?

Either way......never seen a racist ghost. Which I think has to be statistically impossible.

So, I'm not that understanding of linux. But I guess I can't call myself "new" anymore. I've been using linux since December. Although to be fair, I'm barely ever home. "Using" linux at this point mostly consists of opening firefox, and watching youtube.

I know "sudo" is "super user" "apt" is some kind of repository command, and then you type "install (program)"

But I've really taken to flatpack. I hate hate HATE the terminal. All I ever do is screw things up in there. I don't know what I'm doing. I just follow commands. "Just copy/paste this exact set of text". And then I have an error.

It's kind of like knowing 4x4=16. And all you do is memorize that line, as opposed to knowing that 4x4 is the same as 4+4+4+4. And knowing what 4 is. If you memorized 4x4=16, but get presented with 4x4-2, and you don't understand the core concept of numbers, you wouldn't know how to adjust 16 to 14, and know WHY it's 14. I'm just copy/pasting someone elses instructions.

sudo apt get firefox && -z, -r, -☆, -$, randop, redo, up.

That's probably complete jibberish in terminal, but it helps you (the experienced linux user) understand how terminal feels/looks to me. If I had a problem, and troubleshooting told me to copy/paste that to solve my problem, I would. That to me looks as legitimate as any other jibberish that would actually work.

Ok. Rant aside, lets start a civil war in here! I've been using ZorinOS, and I kind of like it. HOWEVER, I did spend a considerable amount of time tweaking it. It's finally how I want it, so I'm not messing with it. So I've never experienced KDE. I've only experienced GNOME. And quite honestly I don't know what that means. I know it has to do with the desktop environment.....but I don't know what would be different if I used another desktop environment.

But that brings me to a question I was told you just can't ask the linux community without blood being shed.

What's better? KDE? Or GNOME?

Anyone else remember around 1993/1994 when everyone made bread? It was like a little trend.

Then it happened again during the pandemic. That made sense. Everyone was home all day with nothing to do. But I liked the 1990s trend more. Probably because the world wasn't also in the midst of an unstopable pandemic.
