No suggestion other than to listen to some Zorba!

Hey now, it alleviates depression, it doesn’t cure Britain.
I’ve been saying for a while that it really feels like media literacy has gone down significantly. I read some opinions or takeaways on a movie and the responses I see can be so confusing, like how someone could possibly come to their conclusion. It could be a movie about fire engulfing everything and they’d be like, “wow, wind sure does destroy a lot of stuff!”, for some reason.
To some extent I get it, I make pretty distant connections myself pretty often, though I generally acknowledge that it wasn’t the intended read of the work but an interpretation of it. Using the fire example above, wind blows fire around, so the wind is destructive too. Sure, that’s great.
So I don’t mind people having these opinions, even if I would have disagreed with them. What bugs me is just how goddamn certain and adamant people get about it, without being facetious about it. If after viewing you genuinely believe that wind is the root cause of the issues, and not all the examples from the source material showing that it’s fire… I just don’t know what to tell you.
Of course, this isn’t for things like meme, or like I said interpretations of the work. If a bunch of people all independently see it and come to similar conclusions, that’s a byproduct of the work. Also similarly, if one person says a theory and everybody likes it, that’s also a bit different to me, though it can be a little annoying if it’s ran without any other thoughts. Not many things have just a single read to it, so it seems limiting to permanently categorize it. There’s also plenty of cases where the work itself does a very poor job getting its point across, probably like this comment right here (sorry, I have a headache).
All in all, in general I’m fine with the whacky opinions that might not be based in the work or even in reality. It gets frustrating when the person is so adamant that their interpretation is the one definitive read and any alternative is dismissed, because it stifles discussion.
Sad to not see more comments about The Subtle Knife. This is a great meme for that concept!
The Subtle Knife is definitely so sharp that it cuts through dimensions, so I think it would cut atoms.
So really that just means it’s not inaccurate, it’s just a very specific, fictional knife!
I also want to include turkeys even though they’re not included in the image. Turkeys like running down hills, since they’re perfect runways for takeoff. Then they land in lower-hanging sturdy branches.
It’s quite cute.
Color change, eh? Sounds like B+W makes displays more energy efficient, that should be significant!

Ahh so it’s still never been confirmed then. The Aether2x event and the Reddit third-party event happened relatively close together, so I never got closure.
Sad that the emulation community has such a prevalent amount of vocal people who go around expectantly harassing developers. Such a large part of the community seems so nice and wholesome, but there is a significant portion that is also extremely vile and consistently ruins it for the rest of us.
Edit: Oh, and thank you for responding.
Linux isn’t for you. Trust me, as someone who doesn’t really like using Linux all that much.
If you stick with it, pick one. Stick with it. Use its documentation, not online forums.
You can’t use online forums because CLI on how to do things varies from distro to distro. So a command for Ubuntu is useless somewhere else, most of the time.
That results in following guides and having it stop working part way through. You will never get anywhere like this. When you eventually do get somewhere, you’re going to take some time away, or you’re going to break something on accident. Then you’ll have to set it all up again and likely will have lost some data if you weren’t careful.
I built a server PC for Plex and a few other programs, after a number of years running various temporary projects, like Raspberry Pi servers I felt semi-confident. It was going for about 7 months and now it is stuck in a grub menu and if I am able to get into the desktop everything is fucked up anyway.
Tl;Dr, you are having issues because you went with the most complicated distros. Run some normal ones like Mint in Virtual Machines, get a feel for the process to install a program – 1) manually, 2) from the “Linux store” (package manager) 3) from GitHub.
Anything else is just asking for a frustration headache
Iirc - Duckstation dev is the same one who did Aether2x right?
I’m sure.its a bit of that too, but I do feel like the ultimate reason is still, “well why are you taking time off to do something that isn’t only benefitting you?”
basically the same mindset that created this culture is what developed compensation for our time, as opposed to just taking the loss for the day to do a good thing.
I could not believe it, but I’m choosing to… Believe it.
Possible prequel to His.
Yup. Lighthearted through perseverance
Damn right! Damn hell ass right!
You lack the cultural lens of America. About half of our country governs from the perspective of “why should I?” with the most negative and self-preserving mindset possible.
Why should I pay for others healthcare, even if it means they pay for mine? Why should I donate my blood if it doesn’t benefit me?
Solve that problem by giving you $25-100 for your “donations”
Did you see Borderlands, Killer’s Game, or any of the Rebel Moon variations?
Yeah but what your dad didn’t talk about was how the generational connection to the meme has been slowly bled out by social media companies, replacing genuine nostalgia for manufactured social humor.
That is to say, boomers felt more connected to their memes than they did to ours, and more than we did to ours.
Likewise, we have more connection to the memes of our youth than Gen Z supposedly will/does to their memes.
And of course, it’s a bunch of B.S. because how do you quantify nostalgic connection! We didn’t watch Skibidi toilet, so how could we call upon it’s nostalgia the same way that we do for F7U12 or Trollolol?
The only thing I could potentially agree with about my own claims here are that there is a small shift in the amount of relevance of each generations cultural memehood, where as each newer generation comes, there is more and more content to draw from. Not only do current generations have Mario and Sonic memes, they also have Skibidi and social memes, so I could see there being a bit of a “limit” on how possible it is to like all of the memes equally.
Basically, in 20 years, will Skibidi be looked back at as fondly as Rage comics? Honestly, probably. But how about all of the other 49,000 memes?
The best meme survives, so what will be nostalgic for Gen Z?
Maybe this will be the first time we get a conclusion. Or, wait, even better! It can lead into Constantine 3!
The piece of data and the data overall suggest that…
Over categorization is a lie that only causes more problems. Stop the forcing of categorizing things. Just let things exist.
