So, 5400 RPM drive is out. I'm just gonna wipe my SSD and put it on there because, in my own words, if I don't like it, "Arch isn't *that* hard to install."

Currently installing with Qubes on a spare hard drive. I'm hoping that, along with its virtualization thing being secure, it actually makes for a decent Linux gaming experience thanks to a combo of low-level windows VM + discrete GPU passthrough while the OS keeps using the integrated graphics. But, we'll see. I'm setting it up on a spare 5400 RPM hard drive, so setup is slow.

Love seeing people talk about Trump getting voted out as if:
a) an election is guaranteed to happen,
b) said election won't just be a repeat of 2016,
c) Trump will actually just leave office and his rabid fanbase won't cause problems, and
d) Trump getting voted out will solve anything

Whee, thunderstorm!

I like thunderstorms.

Remember that the fascist will have no qualms killing you, directly or indirectly.

i guess for an example, me and other nd ppl have talked b4 about how "reply guy" stuff really freaked us out bc we were scared that's what we were doing and no one told us. this is a pretty widely held anxiety among particularly adhd/autistic ppl (who info dump) yet the popular response to it is usually along the lines of "you're just privileged ppl trying to use ur mental health as a defense for being shitty" or "how dare you imply nd ppl can't learn social cues"

"missing social cues" doesn't always mean "didn't get the lewd joke or whatever". sometimes it's not realizing you were hurting your friends feelings. sometimes it's talking over someone because you're really excited. sometimes it's not realizing the topic at hand is making someone really uncomfortable

Leave it to parts of the fediverse that likely don't even know I exist to take a joke and ram it so far into the ground I want to shoot the next person I see even vaguely reference it.

There's also step 3a and 4a plus optional 2a: remember you have no idea how to work with any of those techniques because you haven't had to use them since you took cal II, a class you barely paid attention to
