I don’t know how old are y’all but I wasn’t 16 that long ago. Teens can be stupid and everything but if it wasn’t for me having a personal device with no parental oversight I would have had a very very hard time figuring out my bisexuality and stepping away from toxic Christian dogma

Last time I used unity full time was 3 years ago on an old hp, couldn’t run gnome for some reason and I was very noo in Linux at the time so I installed Ubuntu 16 and upgraded it to 18. The aesthetic was very windows 7. It was alright but I prefer gnome
Back in the day I was heavily invested in microsofts ecosystem,Until they killed windows phone. At the time it really hurt cause I loved the platform after that I grew resentful if Microsoft. My uncle gave my sister an old laptop and she gave it to me for uni, the thing. Didn’t even run windows 10 right so i tried Ubuntu on it and it worked perfectly. I used that laptop until it died. Then I installed Ubuntu on an external hard drive and booted it on my unis pcs. Then my sister gave me her dell latitude and I installed ubuntu on it and have loved every single second of it

Home alone 2 and gta 4 are the reasons I feel nostalgia whenever I see pictures of NYC. I’m not even from the US and I was a 1 year old the last time I was in New York so I remember nothing
Growing up I always saw kids in American shows/movies enj it so I assumed it was delicious. I was 10 when the finally began selling it here, my parents were also curious so they bought enough for 5 people. IT TASTES LIKE VOMIT. My parents never bought it again. 12 years later my sister bought it again because she didn’t remember the taste and I gave a try again because I thought maybe just maybe I would like it better since my tastes hace changed, AND IT STILL TASTES LIKE VOMIT. so we ended up making our own with real cheese and pasta and it was actually cheaper than the boxed crap
For me it was “buy high quality pillow” because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was … ok. Like it’s a fine pillow but my sleeping haven’t improved really, it’s basically the same. So I was disapointed :(...
I’ve always been curious, because I’m not fond of underwear, but I don’t know how people make it work. Wouldn’t you have to wash the trousers every single day? How else would you keep them fresh? Do you use special deodorant for the area or panty liners on the trousers?...

Aspirin for random headaches, a small sunscreen bottle to reapply throughout the day (I live in Ecuador at 3k altitude, skin cancer is a real concern), a charger with a usb c cable, a micro b cable, a mini b cable and a lightning cable cause you never know. A Bluetooth gamepad for my phone to play gamecube games when in have some time to kill. Scotch tape, silicone glue. Usb c otg, micro usb otg. An external 500gb hard drive, a waterproof poncho because I alwayd misplace umbrellas. A powebank, 2l bottle of water for the whole day. Those are some of the things I always carry on my backpack
I used to use my sister’s old ipod touch 4 when my phone had only 64gb of storage. My phone now has 256 + a 128 gb SD card so I can fit all my music library there now
I’ve often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?
Its not a series, just a standalone book but I would love to see a stop motion movie of the magnum opus. It’s a book that was written by the makers of a stop motion short called the maker. I would love to see what they could do with a proper budget
I’m writing this as someone who has mostly lived in the US and Canada.

I don’t remember being told that santa existed, growing in a deeply religious family christmas was always about Jesus. Now I’m an atheist so I guess 16-18 when I found out it’s actually a pagan festival that the romans ductaped Christianity to it
