I was feeling like shit last month. I decided a few months ago to stop taking my anti-depressants thinking it would be best to change my thinking patterns, and while it did work for a bit, last month I felt like crap seemingly out of nowhere initially, but then that spiraled into feeling unappreciated by people.

Not gonna delve into them, but you think some really dark thoughts when you feel alone and as though you mean nothing to people. I sent an old friend from my hometown a message in the latter half of the month before, and didn't get a response, so I simply sent a message asking if we were still friends, thinking it wouldn't be worth bothering. I hadn't talked to this guy in ages, why would he say yes after all this radio silence I've been giving?

But no, this guy responded immediately, hyped up to hear from me again, saying of course we were still friends. It's been slow working things up again, but that just comes with schedule conflicts and not living in the same city, but that was an instant mood changer after nearly two weeks of it being in freefall.

Helped me start putting more focus on giving myself accurate self-assessment. Been writing down times I felt appreciated by others for reference for when I feel like that again so I can nip those thoughts in the bud next time.

Compliments dried lentils at Safeway and Sobeys should be Canadian if you want the dried ones. Pretty sure Bulk Barn also sources their lentils domestically.

For canned, Unico comes to mind, but I'd assume Compliments would also be Canadian. I'd check other brands since while I'd imagine them to be the same case, some might also be imported from China or India.

If you let mayonnaise or peanut butter sit on it a bit, it should remove adhesives unless it's stupid old. It's worked for me with everything up until it comes to removing adhesive that's been sitting around since 1985 or whatever.

Sharing your music in a fedi community, only to get downvotes on it.

Like genuinely, if you're the type of person to downvote other people sharing music they like, you're just a jackass. I'll never understand the logic people have doing that instead of just ignoring what they don't like.

Frustrates me even when it's just a single person doing it.

Love the ethereal vocals.

 

This question is mainly targeted to women, but anybody is free to answer.

I was browsing somewhere, either here or Reddit, and came across a post that was mocking the types that demand too much from a woman's physical appearance. I was reading through the comments, and while I can't remember the exact phrasing from the one that caught my eye, it more or less read something like this:

"'she must be skinny, have an hourglass figure, like anime, know how to cook and take care of the home, want kids, and be good in bed' meanwhile he's just a guy"

Likely clearly I can tell that this isn't targeting me specifically since I can tell these are gross and entitled demands, but the phrase "just a guy" really has me wondering what that exactly means. It's so vague, and as someone who's trying to sort out what stands out to people in the dating scene, I do worry about being "just a guy".

What does being "just a guy" encompass, and what is it that differentiates a guy from that? I'm personally trying to work on myself a bit more, but I still fear that possibility of never standing out to someone.

Looks neat, will consider it. I don't do a crazy amount of gaming though as I don't do anything AAA or such.

I currently have an Nvidia 1060 Ti, and was mainly using KDE save for Mint and whatever it was I had with Manjaro. Too long back to remember for the latter. Think the GPU in the previous comp was exact same model, either that or a 1080 Ti.

Not huge into Cinnamon (I think that's Mint's default desktop environment). No idea why people hate on Windows 10 in terms of the layout of the desktop environment because it's just about perfect for me. KDE was like the layout of Windows 10 if it was outright perfect. Kubuntu was incredible as a starter after the mess I had with Manjaro, which was so long ago I can't even remember what happened there.

KDE for me is an absolute necessity in a distro in terms of desktop environment. Remember having it with Debian.

Been meaning to replace my GPU with an equivalent by AMD. Only thing keeping me back is cost, and knowing if an AMD equivalent would be compatible with my motherboard.

Probably had start of last year or end of 2023. Memory is fuzzy admittedly.

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Hey all,

I used to use Linux for a few years. Distro-hopped a bit, used Manjaro, Kubuntu, Mint, and Debian. I want to go back, but what I want is stability. I want to be able to do my regular day-to-day tasks without any sacrifices to my regular performance and stability on Windows 10.

Using Linux, I had the following issues:

  • Manjaro - for a first-timer, I think the problems here were pretty self-explanatory

  • Kubuntu - worked like a charm, up until I needed to update to the latest version, which it refused to do no matter what I did, causing me to swap to Mint. Reinstalled at a later date only for the entire distro to crash every so often with simple tasks like minimising and maximising windows, opening browser tabs, etc.

  • Mint - worked, but disliked the layout, swapped to Debian

  • Debian - Most in line with values, but could not for the life of me figure out how to install the Nvidia drivers. I reinstalled the distro multiple times after following the official tutorial to install the drivers to a tee... which would brick the distro entirely each time. Also had same issue with simple tasks like minimising and maximising windows, navigating browser tabs, etc. crashing my system.

I want to enjoy Linux, but I also want basic functionality. For all the crap I rightfully give Windows, it's never crashed on me, whereas with the two distros I mainly used, it would crash probably once or twice a day. I'm not a AAA gamer, and I don't feel it's a hard ask to play a game like osu! without constant stuttering when it runs effortlessly on Windows.

I went back to Windows because I simply couldn't deal with the issues anymore, I had to get a whole new computer and I feel that the constant issues with stability I had and needing to constantly manually turn the power on and off because of the crashes, and reinstalling distros for mundane reasons wore out my SSD much sooner than it should have.

If anybody can help me find something that I can be confident in to simply work without major issues, I would greatly appreciate it. I feel trapped, I want to ditch Windows, but also don't want to deal with those nonstop issues all over again.

This makes sense though? The consumer pays for the tariffs, not the U.S.. The price increase on U.S.-imported groceries from tariffs will be removed, making prices come down to how they were before we placed tariffs on them.
