This is very true. I was at my retail job and a customer walked up to me while I happened to be leaning on my workstation because my back hurt. The first thing he says to me is, “when I had a fast food job, if there was time to lean, there was time to clean!“ I looked at him, and then I turned around and walked away. He had this stunned look on his face. I walked into the back room To cool off a bit before I walked back onto the floor. It was probably five or eight minutes. When I walked back out, he was still standing there, at my workstation, waiting for me.

I went to lunch.

The Final Cut

A Momentary Lapse of Reason

Can you please post that here publicly so everyone can benefit?

I probably would be too, in your situation.

❤️

Oh my goodness that sucks

I didn’t mean to come off as dismissive regarding your situation, simply to say that this isn’t a new phenomenon on the Internet.

I apologize for any offense caused

I’m very sorry to hear about your health problems, and I only wish you the best.

❤️

Best wishes to you!

This month…

I was gonna say… disgruntled people on the internet have been around probably since before OP was born… the grievances and bitching unleashed on Usenet and IRC back in the day could be legendary. ESP on IRC, where users and entire servers would go to war with each other.

The Internet is pretty incredible now, but it used to be a hell of a lot more fun

Hope you’re doing well! Best wishes!

American healthcare sucks unless you’re rich

There are GUI update facilities. They won’t need to use apt

I’ve installed Pop!_OS on many machines over the years, and my standard process is:

• Install PopOS
  • rare for PopOS, but, depending on specialized hardware (some legacy Nvidia cards), a little driver rejiggering might be called for. Or a weird network printer setup that CUPS doesn’t like.
• sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y apt-fast && sudo apt -y upgrade
  • pee, smoke weed, feed kitty…
• set up my custom zsh/bash profile for the terminal
• enable firewall
• configure SSH and whichever remote management tools I need (I happen to deploy remote machines frequently)
• sudo apt install gnome-tweaks & a few other UI tweaking tools (obviously, this step will no longer exist soon)
• tweak UI/UX
• search through gnome extensions website for extension I want to install. There’s usually a Top 10 or Top 20 gnome extensions list you can google (eg: “best gnome extensions 2024”)
• make sure I have all appropriate media codecs installed and updated.
• set up pip-/pip3-installer.

After that, it’s setting up/configuring whatever software that particular machine needs.

Edit: there’s probably a lot that I’ve skipped/missed, and a lot that others will do along their way through these steps. This is just a basic outline of some of my post-install processes (developed over time), and I hope this answers your question.

Also, you can google for post-install guides for Ubuntu and they’ll largely be applicable to PopOS since it’s based on Ubuntu.

could it be, because, according to this post of yours, you’re a kiddie-fucker?

Here is more credit source

according to who? you, a kiddie fucker?

lmao psychology today is a casual-reading magazine for civilians, not a professional resource, like a psychology dictionary from a professional organization.

Cherry-picking

Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related and similar cases or data that may contradict that position. Cherry picking may be committed intentionally or unintentionally.[2]

stop fucking kids, kiddie fucker

for, like, the fifth time…

first, i don’t believe you’re interested in that, or you wouldn’t be here trying to convince everyone it’s ok to fuck kids. but, also:

Straw man

A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.[1] One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.

ephebophelia cannot exist between two adults since

the definition doesn’t change just because you don’t want to be one

stop fucking kids, kiddie-fucker

The definition that you give is wrong you idiot.

just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it wrong. if you have a more credible source than the American Psychological Association, i’d like to see it. so far, you’ve just cherry-picked some rando definition that doesn’t make you look like the kiddie fucker you are,.

In the OP I clearly say that ephebophilia between two consenting adults is not morally wrong.

this argument is flawed because

ephebophelia cannot exist between two adults since

So do you think a 26 year old man being sexually attracted to a 18 or 19 your woman is not a ephebophile?
