Its only bad once it takes the form of Communism/socialism.

Lol.

Thats a air muffin paw. Someone wants loves.

I was pointing out how its less practical than the normal tazers which they still don’t use. The idea of it sounds dangerous to the user too.

The taser gun is the ultimate form. But I agree with your sentiment about less shooting the better.

I guess the point I want to drive home is this taser gloves thing likely costs 300 thousand dollars for a single glove and is funded by tax payer dollars, and its going to be just a toy they bring out to torture people for fun, and otherwise foregotten. They’re still going to pull their guns out first and foremost, and when its slow they’ll abuse their drones and gloves for fun.

Ideally we wouldn’t give them anymore money, my critisim was more a joke but I was trying to point out how the system is so backwards I can imagine a scenario where this was proposed instead of making the ice agents sit through one more paid class with at least the bare minimum a guide on how not to shoot people immediately.

Just the idea of shock gloves sounds like some kind of nepobaby invention where they got a gurillian dollar defense contract to develop a new nonlethal weapon, instead of actually training ICE members to not kill people.

And the person who invented it didnt even know what to make so they did a pintrest style mood board with chatgpt and uploaded all their punisher fan art, tactical gear edc posts and it spat out this idea.

Like what was even wrong with the taser gun? Why do you need it in your gloves? Just sounds like the dumbest most punisher fanfic turbo virgin idea. Like the guys who go to jail for impersonating a police officer and stolen valor at the same time invented it.

You can just use a different distro and benifit off all the work that went into developing steam by using the open source tools they threw money at or directly helped along.

I can pirate games, buy from gog, use a different distro, run the game through lutris/bottles with proton ge, and never open steam, yet they still kind of help bring the community there.

Sense the steam deck came out there have been so many github projects for linux and gaming just due to the fact people feel like they are apart of the community. Steam tinkers launcher has been amazing and I wish I had that 8 years ago when I barely knew how to make a wineprefix.

And that shits happening all over again and we are going to get a lot of improvements with fex, and waydroid with the soon release of the steam frame. Fex and waydroid will be crutial for someone trying to fork android, or make a Linux based arch64 os. The work is already benifiting lots of people. Sadly gamesir seems to be the only one taking advantage of this and they’re rather shitty of a company.

Say what you will of steam being a monopoly, and still being a evil corperation I’m all for it. But the world is not so black and white and sometimes you gotta side with the bad guys because at this moment it benifits you more. At any time steam can start forcing digital ID to play mature games, or start doing weird shit.

I can’t say the same for companies like nvidia or epic who are now trying to weasle in. Who are completely closed source and don’t have anything that directly helps the community at large. Steam at least gives you the tools to make your own open source steam deck/steam machine competitor because if despite all odds you make a popular consolex most people are still going to end up putting steam on it. That dynamic can change at any moment, but in the now I’m allowed to pick my favorite corperation and willfully ignore a lot of glaring issues, because to me the benifit outways the down sides. If I’m going to get fucked I at least want it to be comfortable, maybe missionary with some mutual kissing. I don’t want someone just raw dogging me doggy style rough, and I don’t think it’s that wrong to have a preference.

Despite all the criticism against them that I agree with I still personally like then and click in their videos every now and then.

What I appreciate the most is the are constantly pushing Linux often even if they are misguided, and they have a large audience of rather normal people.

I do think they are positively contributing to linuxs growth, and helps normalize devices like the steam deck.

We need more casual stupid users for Linux to ever hit the year of the desktop.

Theres a github program that let’s you download your Spotify music as a list that you can concert into a YouTube playlist, then you just download the YouTube videos as mp3’s.

A lot the music I listen to isnt even on Spotify but that YouTube video I found 10+ years ago still is.

I just don’t want to be reminded of my past stupidity, and anything you feel “connected” with someone or something to the point of tattooing it on yourself its usually coming from a place of pure emotion or a thing of faith.

Also I don’t want to help the corniner identify my corpse. When I go out I want to be known as “pressumed dead.”

Its like three posts in the past two days mainly because I am surprises you are here too. Don’t flatter yourself too much.

Madthumbs I’m pretty sure just uses ai to summarize things for him. He slips a lot, he had me going for a while but he straight up lied about having used proton to some user, the user told him madthumbs his experience with proton which is what more accurate to what I remembered when steam deck was released. madthumbs then said something like “huh I remember the experience being subjective, but my ai agreed with what you said!” And then just fucked off completely disregarding what he said before.

He heavily uses ai for his posts too. I mean maybe he is legit and knows what hes talking about but every once and a while it feels like he slips up and I’m unsure. Because a lot of what he says is just basic arguments gemeni will bring up if you ask it “how do I shit on Linux fans” and a lot of stuff he mentions is out dated too. I don’t know.

Sometimes its also just fun to pretend hes Tim Sweeny getting angry drunk alone in his compound in the shittiest part of the prison belt in the united States. And this is what he does in his free time when not furiously masterbaiting to the thought of gabens penis.

A list of what places are active or worth while would be nice too.

Some places can have a lower population and are harder to find but still post kind of regularly.

I was surprised to know he existed here too not just on reddit.

He comes off as one of those guys who are against “male genital mutilation”

Like sure man some times you bring up a solid point, but you’re also being a weirdo by making it your life mission. Also no one asked to you put fake blood on your crotch and march around in public to be made fun of, but there you are doing it. You brought it up a notch for no real reason. Yet no ones reading them, no one cares yet he marches down the street proud in his weird world.

What I don’t understand is when you get to the point of making your own subreddit where you only talk to yourself, how do you stay motivated? Like I cant imagine what their goals are, or what they think is going to happen. The only coclusion I can come to is linus fucked his mom when he was a kid, and walked in on it.

Sounds like that chatgpt device they are trying to put in your house.

He always got wet food with free feeding dry food. But we started watering it down now days just to make sure.

We dont fully know what cause the blockage, it could be litter, stress, food, etc.

The vet never told us specifically what could of caused it because she had no way to know. We assumed it was the meat snacks we gave him because that was one of the few variables that made sense to us that the vet listed. Could of even been the food brands we where feeding him at the time, could be the dusty litter.

Regardless we didn’t risk any variable and changed to his prescription diet, the litter, and the works and we havent had a issue sense. I still think it was the meat but honestly could of been the liter, or various other things. Certainly not going to start testing to prove my hypothesis.

Also he’s 5-6 years old with 4 of those years with us. From those years before the bladder blockage yeah I would say he was a normal healthy cat with no issues before that. Most of the time you don’t get a cat with preexisting conditions, you just end up with a cat and you presume its healthy until proven otherwise. He could of had this before but it took a long time for the issue to surface.

Its more common than I thought. The vet said it effects 1/10 male cats, and more and more it seems to be a issue these days. Our vet says its the cat food everyone gets these days doesnt help.

And I know the person wasn’t calling me out directly, I didn’t make a single comment until I read that one and decided to reply. I was more pointing out how this does happen and I would say is something to be concerned about, and how I see that same concern in a few other comments. Those are warnings of experience, and I wouldnt of known that if I haven’t gone through the same thing.

Listen man I just don’t want someone to feel like I did. We had to drive 2 hours at mid night to the nearest emergency vet and they had to keep him there for two days. I had to do sidejobs every weekend to pay off the bill. Thankfully they didn’t start charging interest until maybe a year after and we got it payed off before that no problem.

What makes it worse is cats dont show pain. My wife did not seemed concerned what so ever that he wouldnt get out of bed for the whole day, and was really dismissive when I pointed out he acts like he doesnt want to sit down or lay down. It wasn’t until I googled the symptoms said its deadly before she decided maybe it was serious. I just dont think most people “get” cats, or are expecting them to communicate to you like a dog.

Everytime I show my wife a new youtuber I found, some how the video she/I choose happens to be the only video on their channel where they talk about how big of a Christian they are or make it all about god out of no where.

She jokes about how I’m some secret christian because its happened maybe 3-4 times until recently it happened with her showing me a video.

It probably doesnt help I share some interests in weird hippy stuff like homesteading and recycling so some times that crosses over with the religious types who run some kind of farm.

Not even hating. Literally only gave my male cat two bites of perschuto and he got a bladder blockage.

Was painful, he almost died, and it costed 6 grand. We didn’t have pet insurance then so that was a lesson I did not forget.

I seen my cat in intense pain and almost die, I am almost slightly offended you would call me a hater for trying to warn another person of what could happen. If anyone doesnt know yes over salty foods and fatty foods are bad for cats, especially male cats. You can call someone a hater for sounding passionate but I think you should understand where that passion comes from, and its a one of concern. Its not someone telling you what to do, it’s someone warning you.
