Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • I wish I had been taught to eat a single serving, wait, and then eat more if necessary.

    My parents kinda did.

    They did prevent us from eating more than about a plateful in one go, but it was never done in such a way so as to shame us.

    If we were still hungry 15 minutes later, then yea have some more.

    In the same vein, our parents made it a point that if we were hungry, we could eat. Wake up in the middle of the night hungry? No worries, fix yourself a sandwich or whatever else. They never, ever, shamed us for eating when hungry.

    It was always “are you really still hungry” or “careful, too much too fast and you’ll feel like throwing up” and also “don’t forget to eat, I bet you’re hungry by now” when we got old enough to prepare meals for ourselves.

    Food was never off limits at home, and the amounts were always about feeling good. Enough to be sated, not so much you felt sick.







  • Yes. But you don’t have to switch.

    People say “start” with simpler distros because if you go past just using it as-is, and grow to understand linux closer to the system level, you’ll likely eventually end up preferring something more complex.

    There’s little point to starting at the deep end, like arch, since you don’t know whether you’ll end up staying in the shallows yet. Either way, it’s the start. It can also be the end, but that is unknowable.







  • I mean, most people haven’t experienced a single day of existence where they’d have rather… Not.

    And it follows they have no concept of how someone can still function if they feel that way. Intuitively, you’d think those two things are mutually exclusive.

    So, probably also wierd how easy it can be to continue to go through the motions of life even as there is less than nothing inside.

    I hope the “days I want to be alive/days I want to not exist”-ratio improves for you.



  • I think you made a common mistake. See, you don’t just bury the darkness, you need to also disossiate from reality so that even if you internally suffer accidental contact with the void, it doesn’t make it all the way out to become a physical expression.

    This way, you can disconnect your outward behaviour from you active thinking, so that even if you mentally implode, no-one can tell!

    Neat, huh?

    (This is horrible advice, do not attempt. Never hide this level of anguish with loved ones. Potentially useful in professional settings, but still harmful.)


  • ?

    The 580 driver does support wayland, it’s not that old. Or are you worried about future breaking changes since you won’t get updates?

    I just switched my sisters old laptop with a 970m over to the nvidia-580xx driver, available on the AUR. Further manual maintenance should be unnecessary until the kernel becomes too new for that.

    I even had to enable wayland for GDM because it was trying to use X11 and failing.

    She plays minecraft and a couple other games so the nouveau was not an option.
