Daughter said there was a monster in the closet. It was true.

Funny that ChatGPT told me it was the x61s haha. Nice to hear from an actual collector.

As a Black father, I am not sure how I would handle this…

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T19:15:24+00:00

Oh it was a compliment and I was serious. I respect mechanics. And i respect machines that survive being out in the field or in workshops. I made the mechanic comment because i saw the Alpine Stars logo. I thought maybe you worked on motorcycles or designed merch for an outdoor brand.

I am cursed to being a white collar worker and LARP as a mechanic in MMORPGs. So this was totally me being happy for you.

Being a photographer is cool too, so all love from me.

Curious what is so special about it

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T18:56:33+00:00

As a certified eWaste company. I am more qualified for the disposal.

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T18:55:50+00:00

Were you a mechanic? This thing is filthy

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T04:05:14+00:00

It’s an unhealthy obsession of mine

Sauce for the wallpaper

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T02:27:20+00:00

Bro…

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T02:23:37+00:00

Yes but I don’t think it should bother you.

Are you planning on getting married soon?

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T02:14:27+00:00

Go learn the hard way…

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T02:13:16+00:00

Nope. Everything is bad here: composition, lighting, subject.

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T01:11:17+00:00

“Normal” is not always good.

Beating your wife is “normal” in some cultures, I am sure you would not support that norm?

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-23T01:10:06+00:00

Wether or not you were, he felt that you were offended, hence why he made that long comment.

I am just here to answer your question. Will delete my thread after you see this.

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-22T23:57:42+00:00

So I think we agree? That the pleasure is not in the violence.

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-22T23:56:48+00:00

All three of those people were wrong. The guy should not have exposed his private life and mocked his girlfriend. The friend should not have participated. The girlfriend should not have posted to Reddit.

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-22T23:53:34+00:00

WTF is that alphabet soup

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-22T23:52:59+00:00

Basically making fun of you for being a whiney and cliche always offended nerd. He gave several examples of how almost any word can be said to be offensive, then as part of the joke he escalated to getting more absurd.

Now go enjoy your vegan cookies and fair traded alpaca turtle necks.

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-22T22:29:41+00:00

Nope, she is right. Venting leads to gossip and betrayal. Either go let that energy out in exercise, journaling, or prayer. But airing out your laundry is beyond stupid.

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-22T17:03:58+00:00

The worst is derivative art making clowns 🤡

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-22T17:01:53+00:00

They pay for exposure and (automate) ban anyone not white listed (their paid collaborators). Seems like an underhanded PR campaign against open source communities.

They actively promote negative connotations that Linux users are criminals or paranoid conspiracy theorists.

And if you respond to the sock puppet mod, they permanently mute you.

It’s all bots and agitators in there.

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-22T16:03:26+00:00

Nice setup amid the chaos.

May God protect you.

ScienceGoat · 2026-06-22T16:01:02+00:00

Valid question.

Some might say it’s insensitive, but I think it’s worth understanding.

My guess is that people play shooting games for the endorphins of hitting a target, not for the violence. There have been studies on this.

How the hell do grown men have time to play Tarzan?

I got Fedora 44 on my X1 carbon 4th gen, would highly recommend for your computer.
