  • I started using Linux in 2008. A friend of mine on an old forum showed me wubi and helped me get set up. When he went AWOL and stopped posting, I went on some Ubuntu forum and asked for help with a problem I was having (WiFi had stopped working randomly). Those people tore me apart and spit on my bloodied corpse. It was brutal. Apparently, I was a disgusting moron for using wubi instead of replacing windows (on my netbook with no disc drive) entirely. It was insane. I’ve since discovered that I’d just found a particularly toxic group by chance, and that most of the community is actually very kind. But at the time, it was genuinely hurtful. I not only stopped asking for help for a long time, I stopped learning about Linux and computers in general because I felt like it was something I’d never understand, I was clearly too stupid to get it.










  • Y’know, I genuinely thought I was gonna be the weirdest one here, but now I’m not so sure. There’s at least competition.

    My two favorite foods:

    “Tuna” casserole that is refrigerator cold. Tuna in quotes because I rarely ever actually add the tuna. It’s just egg noodles, cheese, cream of mushroom soup, normally with broccoli or peas in it.

    Ramen Noodle Garbage Bowl: ramen noodles, drained, with cheese, mustard, curry, smoked paprika, blackened kielbasa/smoked sausage, and diced fresh tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes. Often has other random ingredients. Add just enough boiling water to get everything to mix well.
