Dharma Curious (he/him)

Mind if I DM?

I’m not the most familiar with the story, so many I’m remembering wrong. But I googled it to make sure before I posted that.

Hey, fellow Tennesseean anarchist. I lived in Erwin for a while, as well as Kingsport. Closer to Knoxville now. Are you still local?

Unicoi county went for Bernie in the 2016 primaries. It’s a very small town that has gone through a lot of shit trying to claw it’s way out of horrendously bad politics in the 80s and prior. Bumpass cove, where I’m sure some of worst damage was, was the site of nuclear waste dumping, and has been the nucleus of a major swing to the left for a lot of people in the area. Right down the road is Johnson City, a very progressive college town. Dumping on the victims of a disaster because their neighbors, or even they, have shitty politics is a shitty thing to do. Maybe those school kids deserve to get shot because their grandpappy is a Republican? Yes, moments like this should be catalysts for change, but victim blaming isn’t the route to take to that.

I live in a semi rural area. My closest grocery store is 10km, but it’s down the interstate, meaning even if I wanted to walk it, I couldn’t. Without using the interstate it’s about 15km.

My closest convenience store is only 7km, but the road i live on is not safe for walking (lots of blind curves, no sidewalks)

My nearest bus stop is 60 kilometers away, in my nearest city.

Nearest library is about 4 km past the convenience store, so 11ish klicks

Nearest train station is give or take 300 kilometers. We don’t really have any train service here.

Straight line distance from me to big Ben, give or take 6,500 kilometers

I’m not a right wing religious conspiracy type, but NGL, that makes my 'OH NOES! MARK OF THE BEAST!" senses all tingly lmao

Depends on what you’re wanting to learn. I’m a fellow tech illiterate noob, but I’ve been off and on with Linux since like 2006. Finally switched full time a few years ago. Honestly, with Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora I’ve found you basically can just set it and forget it, depending on your use case. YouTube has been my best friend whenever I have a problem, normally I type my issue into that before even google. How long have you been using Linux? If you’re still in the distro hopping phase,I suggest trying to swap Desktop environments instead of distros, as it gives you a little experience with the terminal, is well documented on how to do it, and gives you a good idea of what kind of UI you want

That’s all I got, though. I really am pretty illiterate at tech stuff haha

It’d be amazing to have my own little secret abandoned city haha

I think I may have kept this a secret, had my amazing secret enormous underground city to myself, and announced it’s existence in my will.

Anthropology was also my first love, so I probably wouldn’t have done that, but it’s fun to think about lol

Just wiped my phone or I’d find and post a picture, but this looks so much like my dog that died a few years that I legitimately almost started to cry when I saw the picture:(

Fair, but it still tastes like a candle.

Ooh, I might pick up some salmon for them, they’ll like that. We do mackerel sometimes, too. And once or twice we’ve done just ground beef because I forgot to shop until 930 at night and dollar general sells it lol

My mom used to own a grooming shop, and sold jerky for dogs. Two of the groomers there preferred it over jerky for humans, and would routinely be found snacking on it. I’ve tried it, it’s basically just jerky without the pepper. I like the pepper, so I prefer regular jerky. Lol.

We also make our own dog food, though, and it’s basically rice veggies and turkey (sometimes chicken livers). Which is, honestly, something I would totally go to town on, if it were just seasoned a little better

Dog chocolates are so waxy it’s crazy

I’m a caregiver for my mom, so I work in the home. I turned off all notifications. Texts, calls, all of it. If I leave the house, I’ll unmute so I know if she calls me, because she may need actual help with something, but even then, it’s literally just her on Whatsapp that goes through, nothing else.

I’ve never felt like I had a healthier relationship with my phone. I tend to scroll a little too much on Lemmy, watch too many YouTube shorts in the bathroom or while I’m cooking, but other than that, I feel like a normal human again for the first time since ~2010

Thank you for replying so quickly! I’ll email him back and let him know I should be able to get the formatting the same. I really appreciate your advice!

So I just emailed my professor, and he says that I can use fade in if the formatting is the same as final draft, and I buy the license so there’s no watermark. Which sucks, but fuggit it it lets me keep using Linux. Do you know if the formatting is the same? This is only my second ever screenwriting class.

The school pays for final draft, and I am poor. But someone else just showed me fade in was free and works with Linux, so I’m gonna try that out!

Oh shit, this I did not know. I just Googled the price and I guess it only showed the paid version. Sweet! Thank you! If this works, I can officially uninstall Windows! That’s literally the last thing holding me to it. :D
