Dharma Curious (he/him)

Ahh, yes. That makes total sense. British Spanglish coders. It was right in front of my face the whole time

Is an init script just a very British version or systemd? As in “it’s systemd, init?”

I know the one you’re talking about. Can’t find the video, but it’s one of the ones of the kiwi dude who reads Tumblr posts. Great concept, honestly

I won’t have enough money to order one for another 2 or 3 weeks at least, potentially 2 months from now. Any idea if they’ll have them at that point, or is this a limited time thing? I’m not the most up to date with these things, but I have decided I want one for when I dock the deck

Someone else already replied well, but I wanted to add that we’re not entirely homogenous, either. Southern US culture still has multigenerational homes as a normal thing. It isn’t the majority, but nobody really bats an eye in the South or Appalachia if you live in a home (or on piece of property with multiple dwellings) with your parents, grandparents, some cousins, an aunt or two, and that dude you brought over to dinner once that moved in at 14 when your parents found out his parents were shitty to him.

When I was much younger, I was once 14 horny in one day. I had callouses.

I promise I’ll learn about dinosaurs one day, but in the meantime I’m too invested in my anime porn

Ahhhhh. I am not an aficionado of such things, and was unfamiliar

Peter? Peter help!

One of my favorite things in life is using Latin or Greek plurals on words that it makes absolutely no sense to use them on, and do not follow the rules of any language naturally involved.

I had steak and potati for dinner last night. Just one steak, though, I cannot eat multiple steakices

Nah, no lady bugs or whatever the Japanese beetle that has replaced them in the US is called in my home.

Lived in TN for since 09, and when those things find a way in it’s awful. They have crawled into my ears while sleeping (they bite, did you know? I didn’t. Ow.), they have eaten through window screens, chewed a hole in the drywall, and done general havoc. There was a mostly unused room where I found about 1000 or more of then hanging in a corner. The mass was so large I genuinely thought it was some kind of hornets nest or something.

I want to believe

Straight up. I love my weird little Adderall-fueled space Hobbit. He rocks. And that episode where he dies and then worries about the afterlife? One of my favorites during my first run!

I thought (probably wrong, not a historian) that it was disease that spread faster than the Europeans that brought it? As in, first contact happened, and then basically the continent died before any real settlement action could begin because of the diseases first contact brought?

I’ve learned that waxing (sugaring, actually) hits the exact same mechanism in my brain as SI, without leaving scars, and leaves me with nice smooth skin that’s well exfoliated. Only problem is that I’m a guy, and people think it’s weird that I sugar my entire body. But OMG, the relief. I intentionally don’t do everything at once, so that I can sugar at least once a week if I want to, so I’ve always got that as an outlet.

Damn! Fellow Homeschooled Abeka-refugee, and a fellow Christian anarchist‽ Well met! In fairness, my religion’s all over the place, but Christian anarchism is a big part of it.

I was homeschooled my entire childhood. My mom was a Christian. Not a crazy zealot, just a woman with faith. Initially, my school books were through a Christian curriculum program (I believe abeka books, iirc). One of my textbooks had this module on dinosaurs, with little pictures of humans in leopard print look clothes picking berries while a brontosaurus walked by in the background. My mom, ever the fantastic mother, immediately tossed those pieces of garbage and got me on the state curriculum that the public schools used. Took her forever to get it. Initially, when she called the state to ask how to get those resources she was told to stick with abeka, and was offered several other insane religious options before they finally relented. From then on, even though we lived in Virginia, my school standard came out of California, and I had to take end of year tests that aligned with the state of California. I got a great education, and because Mama let me basically choose what hours of the day I did my schoolwork in, I didn’t really need to take summers off. Ended up finishing 12th grade at 14 years old. I am so thankful that she realized how bad those books were, and fought to make sure, even as a single mother working well over full time, that her kids got a good education. My brother and I both placed highest in the state when we took our final exams, in everything but math.
