I do not. This is like the core of ADHD executive dysfunction. Stuff only happens in last minute panic mode. Meds help some. Anti-anxiety meds help some too. But I got through college by, frankly, just getting better at doing stuff at the last minute. Same thing that keeps me going in the corporate world.

(The pomodoro technique mentioned by another poster is also good though. It’s not a perfect solution, but in some situations it has helped me get started on something to know “I’m not committing to finishing this, I’m committing to working on it for 25 minutes. Surely I can handle suffering for 25 minutes”)

I do feel yeet has a timelessness to it, due to the onomatopoeia-ness/ying-yang synergy with yoink

Holy shit

Or 375 billion/month, given the month scale in the above image

USians spent 4.5 TRILLION dollars on healthcare in 2022.

Personally, if the NAS is up and running, I’d migrate the home directory and anything else important from the desktop to that, and intend to network host those folders; set aside the 1TB, install the 2 TB, and do a fresh install and see if I can still get to everything happily.

Alternatively–if you want to preserve stuff locally–new drive in an enclosure, attach to desktop, boot from an install USB, fresh install to 2TB, reboot from 2TB, mount 1TB, migrate data, install 2TB. I don’t think there should be a UUID problem doing that, but even if there was you could still boot from the install stick and try manually fix it

THIS OBVIOUSLY ISN’T MEANT FOR YOU.

Ok boomer.

If that’s “no” to the first part, you’re simply not a leftist. If that’s “no” to the second part, welcome to team violence.

Do you wish to stop capitalism? Do you think the bourgeoisie will willingly give up their cushy lives and positions of power?

Coraline is pretty intense.

A quote from Neil Gaiman about his editor’s daughter, who served as the book’s first audience

I told her, “You know, we kind of have you to thank for all this, because you weren’t scared by it.” And she said, “Actually, I was terrified. But I wanted to know what happened next. I knew if I let anybody know I was scared, I wouldn’t find out.”

Because propaganda works

complains about capitalism

Is this communism?

It’s brutal. It also just kind of becomes normal, eventually. Do what you can to protect your hearing going forward to prevent it from getting worse. Good luck.

Makerspaces? Maybe just hang around at bars near your local conference/convention center?

Just a big “fuck you” to entropy. Yes please.

No?

Ha, and judging by the avatar you play video games with trains too! I adore Satisfactory

Mechanical adept here too. I am very good at holding and manipulating 3d objects in my brain, so I can kinda always just tell how something goes together to work.

We love our lizardfolk comrades!
