Recently? Her vote in favor of a bullshit definition of antisemitism, and I saw an article yesterday about her pledging to change her ‘rebel ways’ to fit in better with the dem party line (meaning no longer support primary challenges to incumbents)-- and then Pelosi passed her over in favor of another decrepit dinosaur for a spot on the oversight committee.

Yeah, this is pretty much their bit. “Policies aimed at correcting historical trends of racial disparities are racist, actually.” It’s such a stupid argument that I can’t believe anyone makes it in good faith.

Nah. I was optimistic for her at first too, but she’s been a disappointment really. I would say at a minimum she has gotten less radical with time, and votes like the rest of the neoliberals in the party.

For me sometime soon after 40.

Your first gray pube.

Linux Mint Debian Edition. You can use Debian testing repos for more updated packages and kernels if you want. Also, it seems like more and more applications are adopting flatpak anyway.

Sounds like we need 49 more adjustments.

It’s the spot!

And milk of magnesia!

Finding things I can do, and people I can help. Get involved and get organized!

My media setup is on a Linux VPS configured with Swizzin community edition. I tried a bunch of docker-based projects over the years but could never quite get my head around it. A good friend of mine just redid his whole setup with docker tho, so maybe if/when mine breaks I’ll give it another shot.

Damn I’ve been looking for something just like this, but my setup doesn’t use docker.

To enjoy myself. What exactly that means, changes over time.

If it doesn’t work out, at least you’ll know and you can move on. If you don’t do it, you’ll regret it forever.

Homie got way into flat-earth bullshit. We (me and other friends) tried everything from ridicule, indulgence, and finally offering “agree to disagree and stop talking about it”. He went no-contact with all of us, sold his house and left town.

Any problems I’ve had with these apps has usually been solved by reconnecting my VPN.

NewPipe or PipePipe.

I don’t really disagree, but as time goes by, those old ones show their age more and more. I’m using the same one as you for work, and I got a T580 off eBay for personal (replaces my T430s). I don’t know what I’d get if not for used Thinkpads though. One day maybe I can afford/justify one of those boutique Linux laptops.

Edit: I briefly had a T480 and it had problems with the display… apparently widespread.

Newest you can afford. T and P models, or X if you can.

You write well, and you got B’s and C’s in school. This tells me that you’re smarter than you think, but abuse and/or lack of proper support has had an effect on your development and self esteem (which isn’t surprising). You are still at a very young age, when a lot of people are still trying to find their way. I’m not saying any of this to minimize your struggles, but to give you at least a bit of perspective. A lot can change in a year or two when you’re only 23!

For specific advice on resources available to you, it would help people to know at least which country you are in.
