“But just wait, try buying a house as a single working class person! Not fucking happening! Try again once you marry someone who also works 40 hours and you might have a chance! But you might need to rent out one of the bedrooms to some poor single sap! Hahaha!” - the system
Capitalism abhors a single man. I feel like my no kids and 3 money lifestyle is basically discriminated against nowadays.
I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do....
From my small sample size experience as a customer service rep for an internet and cable TV company, California customers are some of the most obnoxious ever. People in LA seem like some of the angriest people ever. The slightest inconvenience and it’s like you killed their fucking dog.
Sad to say, but it taught me that no matter how online and detached from reality a social situation is, it’s still governed by social norms. You will still be hated by others. Fat? You win be hated by people who don’t understand how you became fat. Gay? You will be judged for being different. Neurodivergent? God help you. And if you don’t believe in that God? There’s others like you in that respect that will make your look awful. Expect to be judged. Everywhere. Anywhere.
Reddit taught me that humanity is full of terrible people and you can’t escape them.
Not OP, but yes and no. I work as customer service/tech support. We get abused by customers harshly every day. Work from home, for me, was great at first, but the isolation combined with the daily abuse or other trauma (worked in telephone porting for a while, and old people who can’t keep their phone numbers or have to be with no phone service for a while get legit traumatized, and I felt I was causing it) caused me to become depressed, overeat, develop a heavy alcohol habit, and basically not move around much. I gained 100 pounds from 2019-2022. I am still struggling to lose it.
RTO for me was not a thing I wanted to do, but I needed to.
Also, I am thankfully no longer answering phone calls anymore, just taking chats. People are still assholes, but they cannot yell at you or use their voice to emotionally manipulate you.
Zipper cases. These are thin pillowcases that close with a zipper. You then put the normal pillowcase over the zippercase.
Why? Because it extends the life of your pillow. A normal pillowcase can slide while sleeping, etc… which can cause your face, hair, head, body, and all the oil it produces to get on the pillow itself. With the zippercase, you have a second line of defense to keep the pillow fresh.
Sure, you can clean the pillow, or run it through a gentle cycle in the wash, but it is way better to just avoid that. Let the double layer of protection do most of the work and absorb that body oil.
Change case 1 or 2 times weekly, change/wash zippercase weekly. Your pillow will stay fresh and clean and much more pleasant for longer, for a minimal amount of added work of putting that second case on.

That doesn’t make the PC, network, and connection belong to the employees. You’re making ideological leaps that are not in tune with the reality of the situation. Obviously the company can’t exist without employees. That doesn’t matter in this situation. Fact, a company run by capitalists. Fact, I am paid a wage. Fact, my wage is what I agreed to take as payment for my labor. Fact, this PC I use to perform my duties IS NOT FUCKING MINE.
According to these new numbers from Valve, the Linux customer base is up to 1.96%, or a 0.52% jump over June! That’s a huge jump with normally just moving 0.1% or so in either direction most months… It’s also near an all-time high on a percentage basis going back to the early days of Steam on Linux when it had around a 2%...
Does kernel anti cheat really help anything, though? I’m curious about it. Like, how much worse would cheating be without it? I play Apex on Linux. It runs EAC and yes, there are some cheaters but it’s not that bad from what I can tell.

Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as “Ethical Piracy” and I would like to hear your concepts of it....
Still deep in Tears of the Kingdom, but I am close to 100% of shrines and light roots. Have not even tried fighting Ganon yet, but with my power level it shouldn’t be that tough. Gonna finish it this week and then hop back to Final Fantasy 16, which I binge played release weekend and got over 50% through according to the PS5 progress indicator.
The GOAT of factory games, and not just because it’s from the same studio that made Goat Simulator, or that you can purchase a boom box in game and make it play Goat Music.
Sonarr destroyed my one piece folder by renaming things incorrectly. Also sites like the TV db and anidb mislabel season numbers on a lot of anime lately. So my beef is mostly anime based and against the databases that sonarr uses, not sonarr itself.
I have tried and was, the first time, turned down and told I was incorrect. When the next season came out for the same show, I submitted again for correction and got zero response. Similar for another show where the show’s single season that had a break had its second half called “season 2” (happens a ton lately, infuriating), I also got no response. And that’s TV db. Don’t get me started on anidb later. They fucking divided the two halves of that show as well, but not into two seasons… INTO TWO SHOWS. So now the second half of the single season of “Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury” on anidb is a whole other show entry and is named “Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury (2023)” - fucking maddening. And applications like Plex rely on those kinds of databases for sorting things. And naming things. And similarly, sonarr uses them for renaming your files to fit the format you set up. And it’s also not 100% smart on some stuff. Sure, “one_piece_207.avi”, let me rename you as One Piece - S02E07.avi that will be fabulous.
I understand you want to defend something that you enjoy. That is fine. The program completely misinterpreted the filenames as they were with absolute numbering and erroneously assigned incorrect filenames, such as making episode 201 into S02E01. I set the format and trusted it to uniformly rename. It failed at that. You can still enjoy it. I’ve found an app called Filebot that seems to do better interpretation and allow more freedom. I’ve mostly gone back to manually managing things, though. I also found some features in sonarr to be a bit obtuse. Since it’s renaming files, it has to keep the original file to seed the torrent. That’s completely understandable but I wish there was a way to have it wait until ratio/time limit before renaming. It would save hard drive space to allow that.
You can still enjoy sonarr. The databases it pulls info from are also part of the problem as I detailed in another response here. For me, it is not ideal.
Correct, and there were ways in place that was supposed to allow sonarr to understand absolute numbering, similar to another agent plugin I use for Plex that gives it that understanding. The file formatting for sonarr can even include {absolute} for this use case. I was numbering these files, hoping to rename them with episode titles plus the {absolute} as well as S{season00}E{episode00} (can’t recall the exact code), but anyway… Despite everyone in this thread calling me an idiot, I know I made no error other than not backing up first.
