Diogenes stands ready to pluck away the feathers of hypocrisy

Then, suddenly, Diogenes appears, plucks every feather from the duck, shoves it into the faces of those sitting on the bench, screams 'This is no bird, behold, a man!', laughs manically, shits in the duck pond, runs away.

Fellow autist here, though I don't think I have adhd:

I was once where you are now.

It can be done.

Entirely unironically:

Believe in yourself, don't be too stubborn or proud, but also don't let the haters get you down, ... and as Johnny Cash once said, "know when to walk away, know when to run."

Even more sad, its more of an apsirationally, i see myself as a rich business person, oriented propoganda.

Its for wannabes and the low to mid level management crowd, small business owners who like to pretend they understand economics beyond 'underpay my workers'.

WSJ readers are basically the people who watch SqwuakBox and Jim Cramer...

Actually clever rich people may read the WSJ from time to time, but they're gonna be spending more time reading esoteric industry specific journals, following the actual appearances and conferences of the people who the WSJ writes about, to make actual investment and business strategies with.

Oops, I assumed you were Gen Z or A!

Uh, uh,... radical, tubular, or something, lol.

... Groovy?

lol.

Yeah, there's a lot of fairly age specific lingo in all age brackets... and its possible the 'mad hops' phrasing also had a regional component that I just never noticed due to not travelling to many other parts of the US as a kid?

Uh yeah, maybe its a bit outdated of slang now, but ... 'you've got hops' is basically 'you can jump high'.

Hops is ... I guess just older, 90s/00s, Millenial slang for 'jumping ability/prowess/skill', something like that.

'Mad hops' meaning like... how you'd say 'she's got mad skills', its meant as a uh, positive compliment, its an adjective basically meaning 'impressive' or 'unbelievable'.

I was gonna say this too.

Bazzite is functional, has helpful utilities pre built in, and is pretty idiot proof for the average user, as compared to many other linux distros.

99% of it 'just works'.

Use Bazaar, install flatpak, other useful stuff is pre-installed, use them, if you wanna do something fancier, documentation exists and is pretty good.

Beyond that, for the truly tech illiterate, you just need to make the icons and DE look the same as what they're used to, and then grandma will probably be able to figure it out... I think you can fairly easily do this with a good number of linux distros, and there are some that are just designed around this concept.
