I think it's weird that a 21-23-year-old dating an older person is really weird and inappropriate..

Honestly, often for younger women it's a romp with somone that knows what they're doing.

The BEST lay of my 20 years old life - and i'm now married for 30+ years - was a 45 year old guy and we hit it off for a few glorious months of sex that was incredible. Man knew EXACTLY what he was doing and twisted me up into positions I couldn't get into now if the husband and I tried..

The whole idea that it's unnatural or weird is an odd one. I worked for a ton of men that worked like slaves though their youth to get successful and in their 40's finally found young women to start beautiful families with.

LOL !

Believe me, it gets worse as you get older..

I think it's James Corden.. used to do a show where he'd drive people around in a car and sing? Carpool Karaoke?

Something like that. I wonder who he pissed off..

Ok, thats good to know. The limited access to Linux I've dabbled with in the past used Gnome - which was fine - but I'm always up for learning something new.

As horrifying as it will be.. it's going to take some godawful disease like polio to rear it's ugly head again for the vast muddling middle to wake the hell up.

I remember a friend of my aunt who was in a wheelchair - she was in her 70's when I was a teenager and she had gotten polio as a little girl. Lovely woman, and a real example of what can happen without vaccines.

God save us, generational amnesia is a thing, and we've gotten complacent because vaccines haved worked so well for the last 75 years.

I recommend picking the dropdown to not boot into Steam Gaming Mode.

Good to know..

Thank you!

Exasperated Sigh

LOL! Sorry! Newbie nitwittery on the loose!

I'm actually an over four-decades long Apple user who's main usage was graphics and music.

The PC was a former hackintosh running El Capitan and used for video production and Aperture.. I bought it from the guy that built it and slapped Win 10 into it just to game on. (I did add the nVidia 3060..) Not really familiar with things outside of the Apple ecosystem, but I'm now fed up with the constant churn there and looking to expand into new territory.

I saw SteamOS mentioned and tucked it away in the back of my head and just remembered to ask about it earlier.

So now I know! You gotta ask somewhere no? So it might as well be here..

Am going to suss out the Bazzite and probably add it on a separate SSD - I have connectors for 3 drives in the PC and a Thunderbolt expansion card which may or may not work that is currently in a drawer with the USB 3 card..

Dual boot, (which I do use on my old MacPros) shouldn't be a problem on the PC - I do that from the PC's UEFI, amirite? - so I will keep the Windows install and just play with the Bazzite until I get comfy with it.

Thanks!

Penguins it is then!

I'm currenty an Apple user looking at the EOL of my ancient indestructible Intel kit (my newest Mac is a 2010 MBP which is running an unsupported macOS install) and deciding that, given Apple's interminably frustrating OS decisions (walled gardens and all that rubbish..) on top of their switching yet again to a different platform - Apple SIlicon - that Linux is going to be my next adveture in OSes..

Will start with the PC and Bazzite, and may need a bit of help, as while I do know a few Terminal commands in the Mac, the PC presents a bit of a mystery (though I hope it's gonna be less alien than I think, once the Linux OS is in..)

Much thanks to everone!

Who’s paying those assholes?

Right now.. nobody.

Gummint's on shut-down, so all of those "fine paratrooping folks" are working for free.. This is why Trump is having a hissy about the government going back to work.. NOW!

Apparently his mom has disowned him, aka RFK Jr. and the rest of the Kennedy clan..

Osama Bin Miller, when your own family wants nothing to do with you.

I heard he got cucked by Elon Musk. Dunno if that's true or not, but it would explain a ton, if so.

Honestly, that's not accidental. Reddit's a hot mess right now..

Once the IPO dropped last year, the algorithm started steering users to the least productive, most rage-bait inducing content. I was on many art-related subs and within 6 months, my feed pivoted to the political feeds.. MurderedByWords, LeopardsAteMyFace and others. The AppleHelp and VintageGaming and VintageApple where I had the best, most in-depth conversations all but vanished from my home page feed.

Oddly enough subs like anime_titties (which was non-US based global-only news with the sub's title used to keep the 50-cent Army from seeing it as the Great Firewall doesn't like anime_titties) also went down my feed list. Then mystery subs with really rage-inducing content like NewsHub which was lots of middle-east and Gaza related stuff appeared - and I hadn't ever visited that sub.. stuff that I han't even heard of showed up.

NGL, I fell right into it. It's slick, that's for sure.

Eventually the rage-bait posts got me.. I had started to get snarkier and snarkier and the mod-bots bumped me yesterday - within a minute - of making a metaphorically mean post. I spent the evening on old reddit getting at the unarchived content I'd posted and manually deleted it. Then managed to get to the delete account page and left. 14 years. Oh well.

The AI they're using isn't as well trained as they think, (hence the Reddit stock tanking in the past 2 weeks) and of course Steven MIller (the real POTUS right now) is looking to go after the mainstream social media sites.

It's getting a bit schizophrenic, what with the fear of the Trump Administration meddling on one hand and the algorithm on the other driving engagement by highlighting the EXACT strident content that makes it a target.

Oooooffffff. Fun times ahead.
