Not quite. I grew up with a lot of racism that took time to undo and is still ongoing.

But that didn’t impact my kiddo directly as they’re not targetted by racism.

However, I found out that I’m adhd due to my kid being diagnosed, and I was out as queer before them. So we have intersections in common that we’ve both been working through at the same time.

Exist as a trans person

Yep! Though now that I’ve seen that, I’ll use Data’s preferred pronunciation when talking about the character

Nope. Definitely don’t say it like that!

I don’t know, because I have no idea how the Star Trek character says it…

We still don’t know…

CachyOS, because I wanted something arch based due to the archi wiki and rolling releases.

My media boxes run Ubuntu, but that will change when they get rebuilt/replaced at some point, most likely to Debian

That’s not mental overload, it’s the opposite. It’s a job without mental stimulation, boring, repetitive and requires very little cognitive processing. And people doing jobs like that seek stimulation to escape perpetual boredom.

Give that guy a job that didn’t bore him to tears, and the picture would have been very different.

As I said, it’s always about hitting a threshold, and boredom is a threshold. And if an employer cares about quality, rather than the appearance of quality, they’d have designed that job differently.

I don’t often go to concerts, but when I do, I fly to New Zealand to see Bryan Adams and relive my teenage years

That’s not laziness, that’s looking after yourself and your own needs, and prioritising that over non urgent chores.

At some point, the balance changes, and you do the stuff.

And if the balance doesn’t change, and you always put it off, even when you shouldn’t be, there’s something going on behind it.

There’s no such thing as “lazy”. It’s always, always, always a word used to make someone feel guilty for hitting a personal limit or threshold.

Even if you want to work on those thresholds and improve them, you can achieve that without framing yourself as fundamentally selfish and uncaring.

That appears to be hardware, not a distro

Nothing. It will always be worth it

I deleted my account before the reddit exodus, when it became clear to me they were heading the way of all centralised social media

Are you mounting a FAT32 disk by any chance?

TIL, hiking to Mordor can be dangerous :P

New Zealand. The whole country feels like a national park especially the south island. However, you would need to rent a car to get to and between a lot of places.

I’d just re-install Windows over the top of the fucked up install normally. It was a bit easier to recover from, and a bit harder to fuck up
