wombatula,

“Years away” is also a phrase, honestly it could easily be either and it takes more of a stretch to read it like you did than as a mistake.

wombatula,

Rattlesnake in the wild, thanks to an insane ex-military Scout leader I had that was trying to prove a point to us (his Scout troop).

It was actually a lot better than I expected, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a number of (hopefully) obvious reasons.

wombatula,

It’s the Sacred Timeline!

wombatula,

Controversial? You are literally the first person I’ve ever heard say that.

wombatula,

What about TNG: Encounter At Farpoint aka the first appearance of Q?

Among field troops in Vietnam it became common knowledge that ingestion of a small amount of C-4 would produce a “high” similar to that of ethanol.[23][21] Others would ingest C-4, commonly obtained from a Claymore mine, to induce temporary illness in the hope of being sent on sick leave

wombatula,

No it’s from an El-P song! @4:18

Uh… you know he was a Canadian right?

James Montgomery Doohan (/ˈduːən/; March 3, 1920 – July 20, 2005) was a Canadian actor and author, best known for his role as Montgomery “Scotty” Scott in the television and film series Star Trek. Doohan’s characterization of the Scottish chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise was one of the most recognizable elements in the Star Trek franchise, and inspired many fans to pursue careers in engineering and other technical fields.[1] He also made contributions behind the scenes, such as the initial development of the Klingon and Vulcan languages. Prior to his acting career, Doohan served in the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division.

wombatula,

As a Canadian, with the preface that some of my best friends are Americans and I mean this with all due love and respect, we see you as the Ferengi not the Klingons.

wombatula,

Yes clearly there is nothing inbetween American Conservative (extreme far right) and Commie. You got it, there are two flavours of politics, commies and 'muricans.

wombatula,

Thanks! I should note, I did use Ubuntu for a few years quite a while ago, so not quite a beginner but still gonna have to relearn a lot of things.

wombatula,

The entire point of this post is I want to leave windows, I am sick and tired of microsoft spyware and bloatware slowing my already old computer down, and Windows 10 will not be supported for much longer.

Seriously why do you think I even brought up switching to linux if I wasn’t trying to leave windows?

wombatula,

Yeah, I’ve tried, and it doesn’t help. Also that does nothing for the fact that they are going to stop supporting Win10 sooner than later, and since my computer won’t run Win11 that means losing all security. Not to mention the microsoft using my data for nefarious reasons, constantly adding new bloatware garbage, and harvesting my data to use to train their AI.

I am done with windows, I am done with microsoft, and why am I having to explain my reasons and motivations for this in the Linux lemmy of all places? Do you work for microsoft or something???

wombatula, (edited )

Lots, mostly older ones.

Edit

Why downvote? Am I supposed to give a list of every game I play? What does it matter to you?

wombatula,

Literally why are you even here? I am not interested in your bullshit, I am done with windows, and I don’t understand why the fuck you seem to feel the need to argue with me and disrespect me. Microsoft doesn’t care about any petition, linux works fine for every game I play, and you are being an aggressive douche to me in your Microsoft dick sucking fanboyism.

Go find a better hobby, you should be blocked from this sub for being such a troll.

wombatula,

Look, this is gonna sound rude and maybe it is, but I am not a fucking moron and I know that’s how it works. I specifically stated that I have used linux in the past, and I can easily google any specific game and find out if it does or doesn’t work.

I was asking what distro is best for people to give current opinions on the subject, not because I cannot google very basic cut and dry info. I appreciate that you are trying to help but I am not about to sit here for hours typing the name of every game I might be interested in playing, so that someone else can read it and check it for me, were you about to spend your entire night checking games I listed for me? Of course you weren’t, and the entire idea of either of us doing that is insane.

With all due respect, if you have any opinion on which distro is currently the best for gaming feel free to share it, don’t waste both our times with useless basic linux info that I already knew about.

wombatula,

Wtf is “atompunk” and why does every single sci fi genre have to be called somethingpunk now? Cyberpunk had a reason to be called that, I really don’t see the reasoning behind every other somethingpunk moniker.

wombatula,

Yeah I am gonna be honest, I am pretty much over this “trend” thing, the quality of memes has gone downhill. I’d prefer less memes of better quality than logging into Risa and having to figure out why some random side character is suddenly the punchline to every joke.

Hell even my friend that doesn’t visit the site but I link them choice memes was immediately bored of the trends, and they only saw a small segment of what I felt were the best ones, and they’re the biggest Star Trek fan I know.

wombatula,

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaffer_tape

No, it’s duct tape. If you bought gaffer tape that looks like the tape in the image, it was mislabeled or misadvertised, gaffer tape is made of different material and is not usually shiny, because light reflection would not be a good thing for what it is used for.

wombatula,

Meanwhile you miss out on the glory that is Poutine, most Maple desserts, Tortiere, Butter Tarts, Back Bacon (AKA Canadian Bacon), California Rolls (yes I know, but they are Canadian actually), Nanaimo Bars, Caesars,PEANUT BUTTER (No, it wasn’t George Washington Carver, he made a type of peanut butter after it was already invented), Chinese Buffets, and Coffee Crisps.

wombatula,

I have never met a person (that wasn’t chronically online) in real life that cares about Pineapple Pizza, it’s a silly internet meme.

wombatula,

What a rude thing to say, so nobody is allowed to hold an opinion that you disagree with? Or share their experience if it doesn’t agree with yours? Do you not see how hypocritical your statement is, or how needlessly hostile it was presented?

wombatula,

Related, Japan does some horrific things too.

wombatula,

My entire life I have met hundreds of people that don’t mind pineapple pizza, I have been to dozens of school, work, and social functions where there was pineapple pizza, and nobody has ever complained. Literally decades of people eating it without complaining, or not eating it but also not complaining.

I never heard a single human being mention it until it became an internet meme, and the only people that have ever mentioned it IRL were chronically online individuals.

But sure it’s me not knowing enough people, what a fucking rude and condescending thing to say.

wombatula,

More likely you surround yourself with petty people who complain about minor things, and chronically online trolls who think their le epic memes are reality. Can you imagine complaining about what other people eat? What does it matter to you, how egotistical are you that you want to complain that other people eat pineapple on pizza, what a childish thing to do.

Also bonus points for hypocritically saying my experience can’t be real, while yours is objective reality. No, you are just from a region or social group that has abandoned civility and politeness, and cannot possibly fathom anyone disagreeing with them without being rude and condescending to them.

Blocked, go kick rocks kid.

wombatula,

There’s probably an XKCD about that.

wombatula,

Haha good stuff ty.

wombatula,

Kobold Loon, sounds fun.

wombatula,

What does that have to do with the Geneva conventions?

wombatula,

Also don’t forget the good old Shotgun / Trenchgun, which was seen as an unfair weapon in trench warfare as there was no answer to it in close range and tight corridors.

Germany literally banned the use of them, Germany.

wombatula,

I love how most of the comments in this thread completely ignore the context of the post, and instead are “Canada bad!” posts that seem to delight in bringing up every horrible thing the country ever did.

wombatula,

Yes this is definitely all of Canada doing this, not a corporation.

Do you say things like this when a company from your home country invests in a troubled region? Is it their government and peoples that you hold at fault? Or is this a problem with capitalism, and you have some motive to disparage Canada as a whole for the actions of a few rich assholes that the average Canadian would gladly have arrested for these actions?

What is your motive here, exactly?

wombatula,

Compared to the US which is loudly doing bad things constantly.

wombatula,

lemm.ee/comment/5632652

This seems to be the only comment chain that actually explains it, the rest of this post is mostly Americans bringing up every crime and misdeed that Canada has ever participated in or even is connected to.

Sorry you got downvoted for bringing up the point of the original post, which was the title and linked image, everyone else on their hate parade and is too busy.

wombatula,

No there was one, literally one comment chain.

lemm.ee/comment/5632652

The rest is mostly Americans screaming about Canada to make themselves feel better about themselves.

wombatula,

Don’t dodge the question.

wombatula, (edited )

Are you insane? “you canadians” lmao, yes I went to Africa myself and attacked these people, what country are you from exactly? Are you personally responsible for every thing every company of your country ever did?

What. Is. Your. Motive? Stop dodging the question, why are you attempting to defame the entire country of Canada and all its citizens?

edit LMAO judging by your post history about American politics, you’re American aren’t you, how the fuck do you sit there and judge Canada for the actions of one corporation, your entire countries corporate history is drenched in international blood, what a fucking hypocrite.

wombatula,

I love how the other races don’t trust Humans, because we are always in “mating season” and they lose their minds during theirs, so assume we are always loopy because of ours.

wombatula,

Dunno I smelled it right off, also the fact this user seems to be posting various worf-based prompts that look nothing like worf at all.

Like literally just “X worf” was their AI prompt, this is low effort AF

wombatula,

This image smells like AI art a bit, dunno maybe I am wrong.

wombatula,

Let’s fucking goooooooo, gamers!

wombatula,

Ah that explains it, ty.

wombatula,

I mean, Pierre being a shittier more out of date version of the American right wing is pretty on brand for him. People say he’s a President’s Choice brand Trump, but that’s unfair, he’s more of a Great Value brand DeSantis really.

wombatula,

BAH GOD IT’S SOCIALISM FROM BEHIND WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!

wombatula,

Yeah I legit wonder if this person even saw Digital Circus, I think this is a reference to some other show or manga or something where a character kind of looks like her.
