I mean, if we’re talking release order, then Return of the Jedi did get a sequel! It was called The Phantom Menace and ahh

Ahahaha hahahahahahahaha. I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I almost made it through with a straight face.

The “AI” garbage on the horizon finally did it for me. I’ve been using Windows for 30-some-odd years (and DOS before that) and it always had a quirk or two but it mostly just worked, and that was enough for me. Hell, I even jumped on Win 11 when it was still in Insider Preview, just because I wanted the latest. And despite everyone always complaining about 11, for the most part, it did for me as Windows has always done - it just worked, so if it ain’t broke, why fix it?

Not that I hated Linux, I just always seemed to have an excuse. “Oh, the last time I tried to install it I was stuck at a CLI” sure, almost 20 years ago. “Well, I’m a huge gamer and Linux just doesn’t have the support”, “Man, KDE Plasma on the Steam Deck runs great and looks a lot like a fresh Windows install… ahhh, it’d be such a pain to migrate though.”

Anyway, I set up Arch on a “dual boot” partition a couple weeks ago I say “dual boot” because I haven’t booted into Windows in a week. Feels good, man. I should have done it sooner.

I will say though, if any other potential Windows refugees are reading… Migrate your Steam library to an ext4/btrfs/other Linux partition. You can successfully mount your Windows NTFS partitions. You might even be able to get them to mount as read/write. You might even be able to get Steam to read the directories! But it’s not worth the headache, and in my experience it’s a lot easier to get Windows to mount a btrfs partition. My Windows install is the last NTFS partition on my system, and I’ll keep it around for a while in case I run into something that just won’t play nice with Linux, but that’s it.

Undertale had this. It allowed you to reload the older save and undo what you did, but it kept a second, hidden save file that you couldn’t easily erase.

Come play my game, I’ll test ya!

I saw this take in that thread too, and I have to say it seems to be the more plausible of the two. Someone told him that he was basically guaranteed the presidency in that moment, and now it’s all slipping away from him. He’s trying to go back to the moment where he was sure he’d won.

Of course, it could also be trauma. Who can say? If he even knows for sure (and I personally doubt if he has that level of self awareness), he’ll take it to his grave.

I’ve been saying for years now that every politician with an R after their name needs to be removed from government. Then, the existing Democrat party can logically splinter into its own progressive/moderate/conservative divisions (I might not agree with Democratic conservatives, but at least they’re not completely insane and can be reasoned with).

What a hopeful thought, that the Republicans might finally do this to themselves. I hope you’re right.

HONK if you HONK

I will HONK HONK

He’s made both, actually!

James is great.

I get it. It’s one of the most innocuous “attacks” you could make against someone, but it also seems like stuff that other people would find harmless is what really gets under his skin. Like, call him a fascist, a criminal, manipulated by the Russians (all of which are true) and he just makes that stupid, constipated grin and his base eats it up.

Talk about how weirdly tiny his hands are, though, and he’ll make sure to run into you personally on the street, once a week, for the rest of his sad life, to show you that, actually, his hands are perfectly normal. Larger than average, even. His ego can’t handle being considered strange or abnormal in any way.

So the idea is the “does she look tired to you” (credit to Doctor Who) attack. Something quiet, innocuous, maybe even whispered to someone else, that is almost guaranteed to make him rip out his hair plugs. Can’t effectively parrot Russian propaganda if you’re having a meltdown about people calling you weird. Maybe it’ll be the thing that finally short-circuits his hateful black heart.

I’d be willing to bet that’s the only part of his brain left that’s intact.

Close - he’s Scottish.

Nobody else was doing it, so I looked it up. Artist is YanaFian and this is apparently their OC named Yana.

For the out-of-the-loop: this is a reference to a Breaking Bad comic with Gus Fring and Walter White. I suppose it could be looked at as a commentary about how businesses shamelessly pander to LBGTQ+ folks during the month of June, but at its heart it’s really just a dumb shitpost that was drawn exponentially better than the source material.

For real though, I love how the artist attempted to emulate Gus’s smirk and it makes Maru look demented. No, really. I love that. 10/10, no notes.

That’s interesting! I’ve only ever seen it as slang for boy and/or butt pussy. I will fully admit that you’re correct in that these terms tend to fall along the heteronormative gender divide and I try to keep these explanations as gender neutral as possible (though there’s only so much you can do with “boy pussy”), so I’ll keep that in mind for the future. Thank you.

Disclaimer: this isn’t really my thing, so I have kind of an outsider’s understanding and may be incorrect. I’m sure someone will be happy to correct me if I’m wrong about something.

Ok, let’s break this down a little. First of all: boy pussy, or “bussy”, is not an actual biological orifice that exists, as you may have guessed. Rather, it’s a slang term meant to convey the metaphorical sexual concept that a male asshole - usually belonging to a sub/bottom or twink (but the term can apply to anyone willing) - has become an erogenous zone, possibly (depending on usage in dirty talk) that it will never again fulfill any other purpose.

Naturally, since it is a BOY pussy, it’s not something that you would find on a woman, so the man in this story, while having sex with his wife, let slip that he was fantasizing about having sex with someone else. This does not seem to be her issue, as she mentions that they are at least somewhat in an open relationship and so him having sex with another woman would not be out of the question. However, she seems to take offense at the idea that he is fantasizing about having sex with another man, which is not something they would presumably have discussed prior to opening their relationship.

Hope this clears things up a little. Cheers!

Do you remember the last time you were talking to someone for more than a couple minutes? Maybe they were explaining something to you, or telling you a story. You might try to remember what they said later - you can’t hear it, but your brain kind of recreates the sensation of having been spoken to even though your ears aren’t receiving those sounds.

That’s what having an inner voice is like (to me, anyway) - it’s remembering a conversation that you never actually had.

No, parrots are BIRDS. Honest mistake.

No, that’s potage. You’re thinking of a mixture, often of incongruous elements.

I had originally written that, but I went and looked it up and it actually is “this”. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
