  • Third time’s a charm.

    It’s wild to me how difficult switching can be when so many devices come with Linux and people don’t even think about it.

    The Steamdeck is more stable than any windows gaming PC I’ve had; Android phones are rock solid, less prone to issues than a PC; Chromebooks work forever without getting malware, and receive updates for more than a decade; but try to DIY it and you’re in the fire swamp of driver issues.

    Have you tried Mint? It usually just works. Atomic distros are also looking pretty promising, they’re so stable and recoverable.



  • I think it has more to do with my sense of humor than my opinions. Some people can’t laugh at things they find objectionable. Some people struggle to find humor in certain situations.

    Funny is not an intrinsic property of a bit, it’s subjective. There are people who hardly laugh at anything. Funny is in the laugh of the beholder.


  • That is emphatically not what I said.

    I was just sharing my experience since it informed the way I interpreted the joke. I think it makes sense for her to talk about using a vibrator with partners since that’s probably something she has experienced.

    Casting this joke as ‘male feelings being ridiculed’ is so strange. She’s talking about her own feelings, making light of the expectations her partners have set.

    It’s not bigoted or mean spirited. The joke is fine.




  • It’s funny because some guys get mad about a woman using a vibrator, but would be thrilled to give LeBron an assist.

    They have no problem being cooperative in some settings, but in the bedroom feel like it’s a solo performance.

    It’s especially funny because sex, of all things, is basically defined by the cooperative nature; you aren’t there to win points, you’re just trying to have a good time.

    So in summary, it’s funny because it reverses expectations; the imaginary partner like cooperating in a competitive scenario, but gets competitive in a cooperative one.
