  • The gender-bigotry comes from the “what man needs to mark 28 days?” There’s snark behind the comment, and it’s unnecessary. That said, a woman could be just as likely as a man to mark moon phases. But saying “man” doesn’t mean “male” when talking about us as a species from my understanding. Seems like a broader term to use which includes the entirety of the homo-whatevers.

    I’m just some guy here and am not educated in this stuff, though!



  • Mint was my first used, was straightforward and easy to get going. Still use mint.

    I’ve always read it doesn’t really matter what distro you choose, just to pick one you like. That’s confusing to a noob because they don’t know why they should or shouldn’t like a specific one.

    Mint is very simple to setup and works very much like a windows PC by default. Can even set it up to work like a Mac if you want to.




  • I get what you’re saying, but it’s not a black and white situation. Drugs and porn are not the same category. One will have life-changing effects, the other usually won’t.

    Plus, parents have the ability to mostly control a child’s access to inappropriate content, as well as tobacco shops.

    It applies in the real world and the Internet on a case by case basis depending on the inherent dangers of the content.




  • Responsibility for access to adult content needs to fall to the parents of minors, not the companies. I’m so exhausted seeing parents responsibilities being shirked and placed onto other entities/people.

    My son, 7, gets so upset with me and my wife because we are so unfair, because we don’t let him do/watch/play things his friends do. He’s 7, he doesn’t need to be playing Call of Duty, he doesn’t need to be watching inappropriate content, he doesn’t need access to TikTok, and so on. I’m forcing my kid to be alienated from his friends because the other parents are allowing children to access things they should not be accessing.

    I’m getting all worked up on my soap box, sorry. That wasn’t necessary.




  • You’re exactly right. I didn’t read the article yet, but you can build a to do list app in a handful of minutes if you know your way around. I’m still green as a coder, but have been through dozens of tutorials, one of which was a simple to do list in JavaScript. I managed to complete it in about an hour. Seeing that someone thinks it takes weeks to do, that makes me wonder about them.


  • I have been in the same boat. I have no friends, but a wife and kid. Life sucks a big one, especially work and the work-life balance, and finances, etc.

    The only thing that helps me is medicine. I’m on a cocktail of Dextroamphetamine for ADD, Lamotrigine for Bipolar Disorder, and Propranolol for anxiety. I’m still far from 100%, but I’m in the more positive side of the fence.

    Talking about problems can help a lot of people, and that’s great to have a therapist, but it doesn’t work for me. Talking about stuff doesn’t change my circumstances, neither does my mindset. Definitely discuss issues with a doctor and medicate. Nothing else has helped me deal with the shit in life.
