I mostly understand all that so far. My main question is why people get upset at folks who refer to it as gnu/Linux? I’ve seen a couple arguments about it on reddit, but I’m not sure how common it is for people to be actually upset, or if it’s more meme arguing. And I also I have no idea if I should say I use Linux or gnu/Linux since I use Fedora. Lol.

Don’t forget “too blessed to be depressed”= I think God will be angry with me if I admit life (read: murica) isn’t perfect

Can someone explain to me why people get upset about it being referred to as gnu+Linux or gnu/Linux? I’m not the most techy person, so maybe I’m missing something obvious, but like, objectively, isn’t it just as much gnu code as Linux?

Again, not super techy, so please explain it to me like I’m the average Facebook aunt.

I love Nigel and marmalade so much. I didn’t think I’d like it at first, but it’s my favorite shorts series

relevant Nigel and Marmalade

My brother was born in 81, I was born in 91. It’s weird how we’re both considered 90s kids. Like, why that decade in particular seems so formative for so many. The 00s were my teenage years, and they did inform me as a person a lot, but when I think back on, like, the quintessential elements of my childhood, it’s the late 90s, pre 911. Same for my brother.

I haven’t worked night shift in 8 years, and I’m still tired all day and wake right the fuck at 11. Be careful, the allure of the night is a lasting one.

Night shift security was great for that conundrum

I generally don’t give a fuck. Lol. I wear what’s comfortable, and I don’t go for any particular aesthetic. But also, I have received plenty of compliments about things like my clothes or shoes, I meant in my comment about my actual physical body. Outside of immediate family (oh You’ve lost weight, et cetera) or sexual partners who enjoy a particular thing, I believe that is the only compliment I’ve ever gotten about a particular physical feature of my body.

A friend’s mom once told me I had beautiful eyes, and I have thought about it ever since. That was 20 years ago. I think it’s the only complimentary I’ve ever had on my physical appearance outside of immediate family. Compliments can feel super awkward to get sometimes, but they really are treasures.

Ahh, okay. Yeah, I’ve slept on twins and twin xls most of my life and I’m familiar with the sheet stretch, I just didn’t realize colleges didn’t differentiate when they told kids what they had.

I would also like to know to why

Okay, I always knew they were big, but I never would have thought Appa was accurately sized

They should try making coffee at home instead of ordering it out.

Well, I know what my craft project for the weekend is! I’m gonna be making paw print art with my puppies!

When my cat died we got a plaster cast made of his paw prints, and it’s something very special and dear to us. I’d like to do something like this before tragedy strikes, so it isn’t so tinged with sadness.

This reads so much funnier if you imagine they’re talking about president Garfield

It was pretty great. I got paid (barely lol) for sitting on my ass and playing video games. I only wish I had had the foresight to use that time to go to college online instead of PlayStation or embroidery taking up the time.

I used to host a d&d game, and since I love to cook, would normally make a meal beforehand for everyone to enjoy before we play. One week we made flatbread, homemade hummus, toom, and a bunch of other things in a similar vein.

Only one friend ate the toom with me. Everyone left around 10pm. At 11pm he and his fiance were knocking on our door. She said he had to sleep over tonight because the garlic stink was just too much. Lmao.

We stayed up most of the night eating more garlic. Lmao

You’re right, careless mistake on my part.
