The secret service would kill you if it was Trump. I don't think it's a worthwhile trade, the old guy's going to die soon anyways. His life is not worth more than yours.

Plus violence is what they want so they can really start telling the military to do things.

I agree with the sentiment though. I think they both deserve to be executed.

Trump should have been executed for treason in 2021.

I mean anything made of real materials that aren't plastics and fiberboard is luxurious to me. So yes I would consider a floor or a countertop made of actual stone luxurious.

I have been keeping up with my dishes lately more than I ever have in my life. It came about in kind of a weird way for me. My dishwasher broke and I suddenly had to hand wash all my dishes. I knew it was going to be a major problem so I made a goal. I decided I was going to make sure I washed every dish every night before I went to bed so they would never stack up to be a nightmare. Eventually my apartment manager got around to replacing my dishwasher and now I have kept up with doing dishes every evening only it's a lot easier with a dishwasher.

Now I run the dishwasher almost every night, unless it's really empty then I just leave it. Every morning I unload it while my coffee is brewing.

To some people this might not seem like a big deal, and to others it might seem impossible to keep up this routine. To me it has been a big improvement to my quality of life. If I feel like cooking something I always have a kitchen that is in a state that will allow me to do that and it always feels so good.

As a handheld gaming device it looks pretty terrible compared to other options. I could see myself getting one if it was a phone and it was cheap enough. I think the experience might be better than using the tiny bluetooth controller I keep on my keychain. I wonder if it has shoulder buttons. The photos don't show that side of the device.

Figure out what's wrong with my car. Taking it to a shop is probably too expensive and figuring it out myself is too daunting of a task. It sometimes dies when I'm slowing to a stop, and I have to put it in park and restart it. Sometimes it's hard to start and then the tachometer stays at zero even though the engine is running.

My username. If you enter urata as your name when you play Castlevania III for NES you start with the mage character (Sypha Belnades) available from the start.

Also iddqd for god mode and idkfa for all weapons in DOOM because that game was way too hard when I was a kid.

I prefer the Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys that's one nice fkn kitty right there style of holding a cat up in the air.

It's aesthetically kinda cool I guess but I lost interest when I realized it's literally just a skin around a keyboard. I thought he was going to just use the keyboard's insides and shell as a starting point. His buttons are pressing other buttons underneath.

I like Austin Plowers and Plowabunga a lot, but I think Meltin' John is my favorite.

So you could say your full name is notspookypippithediddlydo or nspptdd. That looks like it could be a *nix daemon.

What about you pip? My first thought was the main character of Kid Icarus.

Mine is a cheat code for Castlevania III on NES. Which is, I believe, the name of one of the developers of the game.

I like nicknames that are short and have no real meaning that just kind of sound like they could be a name.

When I was a kid in the 90s I had a PC that came with Windows 3.1 and it had QBasic. I messed around with it a lot. I spent a lot of time reading the built-in documentation.

I remember making a random password generator, a text-based blackjack game, and some "screensavers" that were basically just drawing a bunch of stuff on the screen and then scrolling it off the top by printing blank lines.

It took quite a bit of time to do that pretty basic stuff, so it's really not a surprise to me that most people aren't making computer programs today. Most of anything an average person could hope to program has already been done and made available for free.

I like how the path curves behind the bench after the bench goes up like people are choosing not to walk in front of people sitting on the bench.

I do not. I don't feel awkward necessarily just sitting there doing nothing but I also tend to avoid situations where I am like that because I do get bored and impatient fairly easily. I also just don't like phones. I don't do much with mine other than the things I find very useful like calls, text messaging and maps. I much prefer my PC whenever possible.

I'm American, and I'm 40. I didn't have a mobile phone until I was like 19 and didn't have a smartphone until I was probably about 28 or something.

I understand why people would feel awkward without their phones for sure. Especially if that's what they are used to. I used to smoke cigarettes and I remember kinda feeling silly just standing there not smoking after I quit.

I'm not really sure how the upsides of immutable distros work. I've been using linux for a long time and I'm not an expert but I've learned bits of things here and there.

I recently bought a steamdeck and it's running an immutable distro. I don't really know how to use software that's installed via flatpak because it's weird.

I have a game installed that runs badly (unplayable for me) through proton. I can launch it through q4wine if I switch the steamdeck into "desktop mode" and it runs much better.

If it wasn't an immutable distro I could pretty easily make a shell script that launches the game through wine. Then I could add that shell script as a non steam game and it would (I think) run well, and I'd be able to launch it from the non desktop side of steam OS that is a lot more streamlined.

There is something comforting to me about immutable distros though.

I feel like I don't remember half the shit I have installed on my computers. If I wanted to start cutting things out I don't know where I'd start. But with flatpaks I get the sense I could probably just wipe anything I don't use out of the flatpak directory and I probably wouldn't break anything.

The first thing that jumped to my mind was Half Life 2. The facial expressions on the characters, and the physics of objects in the game world.
