I love her so much you guys
you don't understand
Shinto's "head god" was Izanagi, who was very much a man.
But there were plenty of very powerful feminine gods anyway. And Izanagi was the head in more a 'fathered the others' way than anything.
I feel like neighborhoods not having local small-scale stores is a uniquely American problem.
Here in Brazil every neighborhood is expected to have at least one grocery store, one convenience store, one pharmacy, one bakery, and one gas station. And most of them have a lot more than that, and a dozen other businesses.
Like sure, you have to drive to the city center to get to the big shops and you'll generally have more options if you do, but still.
The exception is like. Specific developments built by and for wealthy people who want to Live Away From The Poors ™️ in a tropical imitation of American Suburbia. But THOSE people are there by choice.
What makes a bootlicker is that they continue to lick the boot even when it isn't paying off in the slightest.
But you are right, there is no longer any reward for participating in society. The wealthy have forgotten fear.
Life under Capitalism was better while there was a sizable Communist bloc on the other side of the world. The fear that the commoners might wake up and make their voices heard by force of violence resulted in all manner of concessions. Unions were stronger, public services were estabilished, workers' rights were signed into law. Then the Soviets showed weakness in the eighties, and the Capitalist class was quick to invent Neoliberalism and begin the slow but assured gutting of all those concessions. While manufacturing consent through the media and convincing people that this was what they actually wanted.
Now we see the end result.
As for what to do about it, I don't fucking know either. Because the only thing that is known to work would require a mass movement of a size that I don't think even can be achieved nowadays. Society is too fragmented. People are too propagandised.
I have basically embraced doomer hedonism. Life will not get better, so I make a point to just enjoy myself as much as possible, I have no intention of breeding more slaves for their flesh-mill, and I personally hope to die young. (to a definition of young anyway, I'm this close to being legally considered 'middle aged')
Yes and no
I know how to turn it off on KDE Plasma Wayland which is the DE I use. Different WMs and DEs will do it differently. X11 will do it differently. I'm sure it can be done, I just have no idea how.
With the controller connected, Plasma-Wayland reports the touchpad as like. A laptop touchpad. So you can shut it off by just going into its settings programme and turning it off like you would a laptop touchpad.
.... Unless of course you ARE using a laptop, at which point that would possibly turn off both your laptop's actual touchpad as well as the one in the DS4.
The real uplifting news is bootlickers getting kicked in their metaphorical shins in the comment section.
I just use a Dualshock 4
It like.
Works. Linux games and Emulators recognise it as a generic SDL-compatible controller 99.9% of the time (and for that .1% there's ds4drv in emulate-xpad mode). And Windows games on Proton use Steam Input which is not just functional, it even works with things like the motion sensors and shit.
Not much else I can say to it. It never gave me Bluetooth problems (and I use a generic bluetooth USB adaptor from China), its battery lasts long enough to not bother me, and it never shut off during a cutscene.
The rat-killing grabby feet, often concealed inside the fluff dimension.
That's adorable
I love Linux because it's good for everyone -- Even insufferably annoying internet personalities who are also somewhere between 'carelessly edgy' and 'actually a fascist'. 💩💩💩💩💩
Perhaps, but our laws ban people who are in trouble with the law™️ from running for office at all.
Bolsonaro literally cannot be president again until he is formally and officially cleared of all charges, which -- Yeah, will take a while. Even if he does get away with it (tbh he might. For all my blustering I have very little faith in someone from the ruling caste ever experiencing consequences--), he definitely won't in time for the next election.
But I like ye olde butcherede englische.
