  • I mean, herbert intended spice to be a metaphor for oil and the fremen are arab/muslim-coded for a reason. It's just that thisbsame conflict has been going on a long time.

  • It's really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new

    Bonus points for looking into how to optimize your partition structure, but it'd be fine to just let it do its thing. Also like... I guess you should probably make sure your audio and video cards are supported, but they like 98% are

  • 你好，来自小米的小林同志！我看到了你在罗布乐思上发出的请求，但认为并不令人满意。因此，我已在《企鹅俱乐部》上提出了自己的反提案。请在您方便时尽快予以审阅。你的头像和习近平同志一样帅。我期待与您合作。

  • Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing

  • Hell yeah. I was considering a C5, but saw people online saying ads are present on LG.

    I use shield anyway, but I will probably just follow your advice and set default input to the shield

  • Children who grew up teaching themselves because nobody had time to teach them often become adults who are extraordinarily competent and quietly resentful

    Jump

  • Yeah that was me as a kid. 1-2 siblings, parents worked 7am-6pm or later, and mom travelled a lot for work. I did all my own stuff starting at ~6yo, cooking/cleaning/laundry by 8yo, caring for my baby siblings starting at 11yo (including overnight childcare).

    I don't resent anyone for it (no cope, I think my childhood was good overall). Parents both started from absolutely zero and became very successful. Both parents were loving and supportive. But I definitely am left with the feeling that if I can't handle something, someone else will either do it incompetently or not think to do it at all.

    That attitude has not yielded lots of friends or the support I probably need. People assume I don't need anything and I don't know how to ask.

    My parents were both raised the same way and also turned out that way.

  • ~100mg - 300mg/day. That is 1 cup of coffee (espresso-based drink) to 3 max.

    I try to limit myself to 1 now unless I am really tired or am having trouble focusing/thinking clearly. I was up to 2-3 every day, but it was messing with my anxiety more than I realized at first.

  • Can I share over usenet without having to port forward? My ISP doesn't allow port forwarding. I've been able to download from usenet, but don't really want to if I can't also share.

  • James Talarico wins Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas

    Jump

  • Again, I was ignoring policy in that comment.

    I believe Talarico's policies/positions and alignments (especially regarding Israel as Crockett is AIPAC funded & trans rights) are better.

  • James Talarico wins Democratic primary for US Senate in Texas

    Jump

  • It's part of it, of course. He's more "electable" (cough hhhwhite).

    But there's a lot to dislike about Jasmine Crockett for this particular race without even getting into policy - just campaign strategy.

    Her strategy is to energize dem voters in Texas at the expense of angering conservatives and "moderates". She's good at that, and has been vocally slapping down Republican politicians on the hill for a while now. That will all be used against her by the Republican opposition in this race. They will use her viral clips in smear campaigns to energize Republican voters to save their state from the woke angry black lady - that is a message that will land great with their base and even with many "moderates/undecideds". There's a reason the republican party has backed her campaign, and it isn't because they think she can win. It's about race and gender, but also messaging.

    Talarico is much more mild mannered and has a strategy of winning over Republican voters. That is not usually a winning strategy. But in Texas when many people want an alternative to Trump & cronies that shares their christian values? It's got a real shot. People are fucking stupid and care more about messaging than actual politics. He's got the messaging that will appeal to them. He's a seminarian. He looks like a choir boy. He is fucking great at rhetoric. He is electable for more reasons than just race.

  • Joe Biden warns that Donald Trump will try to ‘steal’ midterm elections

    Jump

  • At least it can be contested then. It will get more support from people. If they're going to rig it (hack machines, miscount votes), nothing can be done. But if they're just trying to weasel they're way into disenfranchising people, they can be beaten with turnout - and all the republican redistricting (gerrymandering) efforts have razor thin margins, lots of opportunities to flip seats and districts in elections leading up to the big one.

  • Vote hard enough that they legitimately lose, so that the correct course of action is more justified

    It already is, of course, but a large majority needs to agree

  • No evidence behind RFK Jr’s claim keto diet can cure schizophrenia, experts say

  • No evidence behind RFK Jr’s claim keto diet can cure schizophrenia, experts say

    Jump

  • Even beyond like actual facts and evidence proving this wrong, I have one fundamental question for all these nutcases making wild claims about diet: why the fuck would X diet do Y thing?

    Like what about eating more meat and fat & being in ketosis could possibly have any effect on schizophrenia, of all things.

    It doesn't even make sense on any basic level. Could there theoretically be some counterintuitive thing that would cause an effect? Maybe, sure. But come on - these wacky claims don't even pass the sniff test.
