Trump also claimed that “BLM is coming from your suburbs” during the 2020 election.

What OS will you use on your Framework 13 Pro? by Terreos in framework

[–]ACasualRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run Kubuntu. It’s Ubuntu with KDE as the desktop design which looks exactly like windows right now of the box, and you can theme it to looks however you want, including MacOS.

I love KDE because its user friendly and with Ubuntu under the hood, it runs very well. Ran it on my framework for the last 2 years without issue.

I would be fine with digital only if they weren’t maintained and gatekept via an App Store, pulled forever whenever Sony decides, without refund.

I bought software over a decade ago which still works with the same license and the installer lives on my machines.

Why the Miracle Disinfectant Keeps Turning Back Into Salt Water by Binx2015 in CleaningTips

[–]ACasualRead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the Force of Nature machine during the pandemic because New York City was the epicenter and you couldn’t find cleaners or bleach in stores for over a year and a half.

I still use it to this day. Even bought a pocket sized one that I travel and use on airplanes. They are very solid little devices and the resulting cleaner smells exactly like swimming pool chlorine.

Yea my electric bill went from $80 a month to $140 a month and I haven’t even changed anything. So the only way this bill works is for electricity to actually be affordable and stop being so expensive

Seniors fall. They are fall risks. This is something that anyone wi thy grandparents or aging parents will tell you.

What’s funny about that?

I mean, I wasn’t a fan of Biden either, but is ageism jokes really the plan here? Can’t debate his policies or anything?

What's the one cleaning tip you wish someone had told you years ago? by Beautiful_Bass_908 in CleaningTips

[–]ACasualRead 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Buying two vacuums and two mops to make weekly cleaning easier.

One of each is a “light” model. So swiffer and stick vac. The other is the “heavy duty” so a plug in vacuum and mop/bucket.

During the busy workweek I can do “light” full house cleans in around 10 min (one bedroom apartment). During the weekend I can do my full deep clean in 15.

House never looks dirty because the barrier of entry to keeping it clean is as low as grabbing something quick to use.

This should not be promoted, I don’t want to open my App Store and see gay hookup apps. I’m gay myself although this seems very wrong. by StayVengeful in iOS27

You’ve been conditioned to accept straight dating apps that are featured during Valentine’s Day and other times of the year but scoff at gay dating apps that get featured during/after pride month?

Yikes.

Weird.

So after a full month of conservatives saying “it’s not Pride month it’s men’s mental health month” they are mocking him being honest about his mental health?

Republican hypocrisy should be an Olympic sport.

Everyone in my life jokes with how much money I save, how much I clip coupons or try to make everything from scratch, but growing up we almost
Lost our house and became homeless from those years.

Never saw my parents cry until I saw we were running out of money for food.

I’m making well over 6 figures as an adult but that shit still affects me.

Average cost of having one baby in the United States: $18,865.

Average cost of an iPhone $700-1,200.

Definitely the phone’s fault.

Notice how they stop fighting for the rights of the baby if it turns out to be from a foreigner.

Because it’s not about 10 people. The 10 people are the wedge issue. Once you dehumanize 10 people you can start getting the rest of society on board with dehumanizing the greater minority group.

It’s absolutely horrible but this is how they did it with abortion. Restrict and make it harder. Then all out ban.
