I study social study and frequently use papers that are referring to Karl Marx. Or feminist literature from the 70s. Or black literature from the 60s.

Ah, might be my wired humor kicking in. I just found it hilarious to find that T-shirt on Amazon of all things. It's like a Butcher selling Vegan cakes. Amazon is like the Anti-Thesis to Unions, but happy to make a buck selling the line.

It felt like a "discount etsy agitprop" moment to me. Just shows how ridiculous capitalis is, realy.

But than again, I am wired sometimes. My humour doesn't always translate. Oh well.

My first trial (after 2 months) was installing something that was not on the software manger. With installation instructions writen for Arch. That needed Python to work. It stops feeling like windows real quick then :-)

I've used Windows 10 since it's release. I had to reset it twice because I had a virus, which very much was my misstake. Other than that it did just work fine.

I've switched to Mint 2 months ago and I am troubleshooting a lot. Most of that comes from inexpeariance, but the point still stands.

Windows is more or less stable most of the time.

I get this, I have limited time and it realy only works "out of the box" on the surface. Still, so get it's been worth putting in the effort.

I did that 2 moths ago and rarley boot into windows any longer. It's a learning curve for sure, and I'm at the bottom part of it, but it feels nice to expand your knowledge bit by bit.

I don't know about that. What I do is try to listen to why a group thinks a word is offensive.

The thing with "retard" is that it has been used to refer to people with mental disabilities for a very long time. By saying "republicans are retards" you say "rebilocsns are as stupid as people that were born with a mental disability".

Thing is, people with mental disabilities are still people. There are goofy, snarky, nice, some are even quite big assholes. Many can be a lot of fun to interact with. They are just people, even if they are not as intelligent as you or me.

Referring to people as retarded, to me, means setting mentaly disabled people as the baseline for beeing idiots. And I just don't think it's fair to reduce them to something, they had no saying in what so ever. They didn't choose to be born that way and they shouldn't be reduced to just that.

/rant I guess

Total War: Warhammer 3. I play it more or less exclusively with a buddy in multiplayer. Been playing since part 1 came out. I love how the addition of magic and flying creatures changed the Total War formula up, the immense size of the map, the mixture of races.

Rimworld with a couple of hundert mods is still at the top, although I tend to let it rest for some months before I pick it up again.

Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2 are my favourite RPG games.

Used to play Skyrim with a bassilion mods a LOT and love it for the hours of enjoyment, but after so many years I have possibility played enoth of it... But who knows, might feel the itch and spend 48 hours trying to get every mod to run just to stop playing after one hour again at some point.

Loved the Mass Effect Triology. Only did one playtrough, that was intens and great.

Binding of Isaac is still my go to for a quick 30 minutes gaming session when I feel like it. I realy suck at it too, so after 12 years there's still a lot left to do.

Fuck. See, that was easy, no censoring necessarily at all.

As in: Fuck off for using the r-word.
