@Cornelia Watford Are you a professor at Hogwarts?

The use of euphemisms. Feigned or superficial modesty/humility. Feeling the collective need to tiptoe around one's intentions. Not saying what one means. Being indirect. Sleeping with clothes on.

@Natasha Tori Maru Noooooooo... I guess I was asking for it.

Yeah. Rocking Morrowind with 600+ mods.

Let's keep the proselytizing going:

@kavaris Sorry, your parts 1 and 2. Felt like ramblings directed at no one. That's OK, though. Just wondering.

You might have Secure Boot enabled. I'd turn it off. Firefox is an alternative, too. Some sort of screen dimming capability should be built into your desktop environment. And it really depends - if it's something like Mint, it should be pretty straightforward. Of course, expecting it to work exactly like Windows is going to create unrealistic expectations. Becoming familiar with the package manager and with basic terminal commands can be pretty useful. Otherwise, we can always consult Claude.

María kart?

Assuming that other species experience emotions, or experience them like we do. Projecting them onto other animals. Categorizing humans as outside of the 'animal' and 'ape' labels. This form of natural arrogance. Any cultural assumption - for better or for worse.

Adiós: to-God, or "towards God."

Showing him who the real alpha is.

Is thinking about doing something, or talking about it, the same activity as doing it? The action is what shows that intention was present. Oftentimes we confuse desiring something with having intended to carry it out.

Can probably find some on Teal Swan. Cults can also look comparatively normal and mellow; no need for extravagant, crazy stuff.

Pleasure.

@kavaris Your writing above feels scattered. What are you trying to say, and why? Who are you writing for?

I wasn't referring to that, but it's fine by me.

You can also just use it on your personal computer, and dual-boot. If you desperately rely on Adobe software, kernel-level anticheat games, Microsoft Office, or any other platform-specific program, then Linux likely isn't for you - unless you're willing to adapt to arguably worse alternatives (depending on the app). For many, the benefits outweigh the costs. But this isn't always the case. You can also just set up a Windows virtual machine on Linux.

Long-term is the real game.

Jesus died for our sins. And thank God for that. Some people are pretty fucked up.

Agree - it doesn't define our value, even though socially it seems like it does. It does seem that way in the eyes of others, and so to us too, in a way. The notion of success is also largely culture-dependent. Success is generally regarded as having lots of money and being famous, in our culture. There seems to be a certain insecurity behind it, especially when it comes to social recognition, which we all seem to crave. Defined in a more grounded way, success is simply achieving the results you set out to accomplish. This can take many forms. Maybe you'd like to live in a hut in the woods, cultivating your own land, meditating and reading. That is your vision of success. But social recognition runs deep in all of this. What is the significance of your success if others don't know about it? Imagine if our notion of success were discovering what's true. That'd be something. But there's no value in that, so it isn't pursued. Ramana would be the epitome of success.

An easy assumption to make is that language is the symbols, gestures, and words themselves. If we were to ask something like 'Where is language found?', we'd be hard-pressed to pinpoint exactly its location.

Yes, the learning alone is worth it for many, depending on your needs. And there are also plug-and-play options.

That's what she said?

I use Cachy, which is Arch-based. It's working great. Yeah, not much time or desire to tinker with it, although I do have vanilla Arch installed on a VM with Hyprland and stuff. Debian-based distros tend to be more reliable, stable, easier to maintain. Gentoo is for the real, hardcore nerds, I've heard.
