  • There’s nobody else to blame. This is straight up a deficiency problem and it’s obviously baked in from the get.

    If you went to Reddit and assholes told you that you needed to kill yourself to be resurrected and make everyone’s dicks four inches longer and you did, there wouldnt be backlash against Reddit to make people be nicer. Is there a problem where people cannot always get the support they deserve for psychological issues? Sure. At the same time, extreme psychosis and insufficient mental faculties are not things that society is obliged to protect you from: if you play too much frogger then walk into traffic and die, it’s your fault, there’s nobody else TO blame. Frogger isn’t real life and chatGPT isn’t a life coach.








  • You’ve got two things going on:

    1. If you are trying to switch, a virtual machine is a bad way to start and it’s the hard way. What you really want is to use Rufus or something (easy Google) to make you a bootable USB and you just boot in and play around. It MAY require you to change boot order in BIOS if you plug it in and reboot and nothing happens, but that’s an easy fix
    2. You want to ask for help. You only get “beat up” if it looks like you did nothing first and you are asking people to do it for you. Pretty much every place you go if you can say, “I want to do X, it doesn’t work so I tried Y and Z.” Nobody will say shit to you. Also, on Lemmy if you say you’re new, people like me and the other guy who replied will probably offer to just DM us directly (which for me you can).






  • Go reread. I never called anyone “dumb as shit”, just the comments. Rude? Sure I’ll own that though.

    I’m pretty sure you left more comments than one on what I wrote. Your commentary sure has the feel of “pretty worked up” but I won’t pretend to be a psychologist and tell you it’s a sign of mental illness: that’s a thing that’s reserved for real assholes on the Internet.

    Edit: Yeah I left 4 comments in one chain and you got me twice. Seems like you have the same kind of itch to comment when the mood strikes. If you’ve got an excuse I’m sure I’ll hear about it.


  • I had a few bourbons last night and over-commented to be sure. Mea culpa. I spent quite a lot of time learning to make clear ice and I had to navigate all of this BS to get to the easy solution.

    As a critique of your comment, I didn’t resort to ad hominem I was talking about the comments themselves.

    At the same time, there’s a little bit of pot and kettle action going on here which is not lost on me.

    Have a great day.
