I'm basically watching 3 "bad guys" beat on each other. You can't be sure who you want to cheer on, or complain about more than the other. It's a strange feeling, to be sure.

Something something square Something something tanks

I'll look into Mint. I need something that will work well with games (I've been a gamer my whole life) and OBS for my streams.

And not retired yet. Just old.

Isn't Linux part of this as well?

And that mon ami, is why I'm even considering going back to Linux. I will admit one reason I'm hesitant is that I'm a senior citizen now (fuck it feels weird to actually say that out loud), and I'm concerned about how well I can learn a new operating system. Mind you, they say mental challenges help keep the brain young :D

My big issue was that every time I wanted to use software that wasn't native to Linux it could take up to two weeks of forum hunting, Google searches, and just plain hair tearing to find out how to do something.

Getting Eve Online to run wound up requiring a font install and deleting the in-game music folder. Not the things you expect an average or even better than average user to know or expect to do.

And that is just one of the instances that stick in my memory

Absofuckinglutely not.

And I say this as a dedicated Windows user who spent a year on Ubuntu Linux a decade ago and hated it. Windows does this, and sign me up for penguin lessons.

The Krishna temple in Burnaby used to have a wonderful vegan restaurant. Absolutely amazing food.

I mean... it is.

Looking at this directly from a viewpoint of what is "natural" for the human body, being vegan is unnatural.

Being an omnivore is. Our entire digestive system is such that the natural diet of the human body is an omnivorous one and it does best when treated as such. And that means a small amount of animal fats, proteins, trace minerals, and amino acids in one's diet.

I'm not going to argue morals or ethics, because that wasn't what the post was about. It's what's about what is "natural."

Yes, you may disagree with me. Strenuously, and just know that I respect you and hope that you and yours have an excellent day wherever you happen to be on this flaming cannonball of a planet we call home.

Also, as I know from experience, they do very little against blunt force from behind.

Can you imagine how it would be if PP had won?
