  • If you think porn and sexuality being normalized is a bad thing, you should reaaaaaaally think hard on your beliefs for a minute.

    Sure, there’s the objectification of both men and women that pornography produces - that is a bad thing, but that’s not solely form porn either. Marketing ads love to objectify people (especially women) for an extra buck or two, and those are practically shoved in our faces openly every single day. Social media is basically just a gallery of this shit too if you’re just looking at whatever garbage the platform feeds you based on trends and what not.

    Porn itself isn’t bad, and sexuality is arguably as important as both intellectual and emotional depth are because we’re humans and we have that primal part of our brains still. Yet in the US, for example, both of those things are worse than, say, a violent film. To me, that is the messed up part here.


  • It’s because they’re redditors, and most likely still use reddit - including ones that were all “iM gOnNa LeAvE rEdDiT” and deleted their account and posts.

    I ended going back to reddit as well with a new account because I still have some niche communities that still go on there, and I don’t really dig using Discord servers for those communities. I also think the fediverse is slowly becoming a worse version of reddit by taking the worst habits of redditors and combining it with (as far as I know, at least) underdeveloped moderation tools.


  • CD-R since it’s better for compatibility and I actually had issues with RW in the past where I could only burn a CD once and not be able to rewrite on it. I was burning them as audio CDs for car use at the time.

    Nowadays? Rip ‘em and slap them onto an external drive (maybe even onto the cloud if you wanna go that far), then toss out or donate the CD so you don’t have to lug that shit around. I’d rather buy the vinyl if it’s an album I really like.




  • As somebody who’s dual-booting Windows and Mint on an older laptop and saw battery life improvement in Linux… are you sure the battery isn’t just bad? I could use the laptop for hours before going to 50% on Mint while on Windows I could go maybe 2 hours before going to 50%.

    EDIT: Should clarify, actually curious about the battery life on OP’s end and not trying to be a Linux snob. Wondering if maybe OP should look into a battery replacement if that’s a possibility since I know some batteries suck.






  • Believe it or not, most of us don’t actually need to shower every day. If you’re not doing a lot of physical work or don’t work in a place with a lot of grime, you can honestly get away with showering less often. Technically the same goes for deodorant but I wouldn’t go a day without it lol.

    I personally shower once every day, but I don’t shampoo my hair nor use body wash all over my body every day. I’ll usually use conditioner only for my hair and I will regularly wash my pits, feet, privates, butt, and ears with body wash, but I only really use shampoo and use body wash everywhere like twice a week or so. I also apply deodorant every day. No comments about bad smells from everybody including a people who will straight-up comment on stuff like that, and I’ve actually got a lot of compliments about my hair :)
