It was a perfect opportunity for Carl Weathers

Nah, I think your brain is just defaulting to social concepts of race which is kind of ironic. It was confusing, but that seems to be the case after all.

But not enjoying the negative traits of my genetic composition and wishing I could substitute them with others is totally fine. If there was a race of humans with wings, you better fucking believe I find that a cool trait to have. They’d be ugly bat-like ones with skin and shit, but the benefits would be too good to pass up. If you want to acknowledge the social concepts of racial inferiority or superiority to the wings, or even subscribe such concepts, that’s all you. But, as you would note in my original comment, these sorts of ideas are silly to me.

And I know what horseshoe theory is. It’s mention makes absolutely no contextual sense, but it is highlighting where some people’s brains disturbingly wander off to. Won’t be dragging me along, though.

Depends where I’d geographically end up. Whatever genetic traits benefit that the most and also what I want to do the most.

For starters, I’d be preferring more melanin, but I still like my northern EU frame for swimming. Hmmm…but I would like longer legs for running. Also more east asian hair for convenience.

Having Nordic height is convenient too, but the weight is rough when falling so African lakes region is good for that.

My spawn point is prob somewhere around the Pacific. Sailing and surfing will be my jam, so if I had to select a preset, probably Tongan sub if Polynesian, but I’d rather.customise.

I dunno, what would you pick?

Yeah, like most everything, it’s a social concept.

…what?

Is there some beautiful autistic mind keeping infographical track of this stuff? My mere lesser brain only just entertained the idea of how interesting that’d be ro see.

I don’t really understand white supremecy from a fundamental level. Like, genetically, we’re pretty crap. If there were racial selection on the character creation screen of life, I wouldn’t have rolled this inferior shit.

It’s really easy and quick to install a distro so you can just test them out. Get three you think you’d like, try em out, you’ll probably like all of them, but you get to pick your fav.

There is no “best”, just “best for you”.

If gaming is your focus and you just want to go into Linux without research, I’d start with Ubuntu or Mint for a couple weeks. If you’re liking it, check out some others, but don’t be surprised if you go back to Ubuntu or Mint simply because you found them easy and working just fine. There’s no wrong choice, just lots of good ones. It is all up to how you like it with no anxiety of making a bad choice 😁

Yeah, that’s so much effort, I’d want to be paid extra for it.

Don’t do drugs, kids.

Well, not this many.

One of the reasons I switched was just being sick of dealing with Windows issues, the time spent troubleshooting, having to constantly tinker. And despite all the users out there, the frequency of hitting a dead end and just having to deal with it was common enough.

So after yet another Windows-fuelled rage and four glasses of wine, “Fuck it! I’ll see what everyone’s raving about…”

An hour later…

Of the many broken bones I’ve had, a snapped femur is one. The damage it did means I’m never walking without a limp or running at nearly the pace I could. All it did was compound above the knee. This is permanent massive life changing damage. That bone absolutely destroys all the critical muscle groups, blood vessels, and massive nervous system that flows down to your lower half.

That explains eruptions in the fermentation stage.

It’s all situational. A skirt is better than both if you’re not doing anything where a seam is needed. But I’d rather hike or swim in something with trunks.

There’s a locked liquor cabinet at my local store. It’s at the back with the wines and cheeses.

Trying to find someone to open it for you is such a mission. And because it only boasts lower end spirits, you feel like such an fiend chasing down a store member who can radio the person with the key, who takes five mins to arrive, just for a bottle of low-mid tier whiskey.

There’s $10 sake in there. On the unlocked shelf next to it you could grab a $60 merlot.

Huh, weird.

Okay, I’m definitely trying again.

Some of my older gear is fine, but an example of something that wasn’t working was my TD-27 V2 on a kit. What module is on yours?

Yeah I have tried it, but didn’t have luck unless I was driverless and that meant losing velocity. Maybe I configured wrong, it was kind of confusing but the internet said it was facing the same issues as me. Mainly this was for Roland stuff.

I was going to just get a laptop for Windows to record onto next to instruments and then transfer, but I’d rather just be able to plug into the DAW.

I grew up surfing in the late-90s early-00s, and we’d always paddle in to go to the same place for lunch. They had a jukebox and we always put on Yellow Submarine simply because one time flicking through someone thought it sounded funny, and turns out the song’s a bit of a joke. The owner hated the ritual, but he knew we’d put on Stairway To Heaven next and leave.

We chose Stairway To Heaven as loosely as we did Yellow Submarine. Never heard it before, but we had heard of it. Those two songs covered scoffing down lunch and then we’d paddle back out for the afternoon session.

This occured for years until we grew up and left town pursuing adult things as newly born adults now out of highschool.

The owner was a great guy. Told us as much as he hates Yellow Submarine, he was going to miss us as much as he loved Stairway To Heaven (along those lines anyway). We never learned each other’s names, but he always gave us shit when we walked in and told us to enjoy our surf when we left. Those two songs and that jukebox remind me of him all these years later and I’m sure they remind him of us punk ass surfer brats.

Getting news off Lemmy is a shit-for-brains idea. It’s 70% bias saturated US politics links. I have no.idea how people keep lapping it up, but I hear that’s the culture of Americans being told what to believe and do based on their feeds.

You can block keywords, though, so if anyone posts any interesting news, you may even get to see it.

Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren’t an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.
