Having been in the military, I find it hilarious and accept that it is not a place everyone should be. The recruiter likely has a very similar realistic understanding of where the military stands with people right now.

My power comes from the two sets of solar panels and batteries on my land. It is possible to do without fossil fuels. We're not there yet for everyone, but the problems you point out are solvable, and if solar/EVs had the same amount of backing from the government over the same timeframe that gas/ICE cars have had, we would be in a very different place right now.

I am trying to think of things that are difficult for using something like Linux mint vs my last Windows install. If we are taking about doing a full, clean install of both, I think my last Windows install was way worse.

Mint installed and just detected everything I was using without a problem. I had to tweak some minor things to get it to display on the 4K TV I am using in my living room, and there are still some games that don't play nicely with Linux.

The Windows install, on the other hand, required me to get drivers for the video card, WIFI, and a few other things to get all the hardware to work right. Then getting it how I like it took longer than I like and I had to visit multiple sites to get all my preferred software.

Alright, alright, alright.

That doesn't explain why already established products are ditching things like plainly visible scroll bars in products like Microsoft word and other content viewers.

That is what I am doing currently. It makes you lag behind a bit in raw damage output compared to a pure sorcerer, but you get flexibility and can have fun with the utility spells.

The fact that you consider that a "normal" and acceptable tactic shows the problem

Been a while since I checked here and it seems pretty quiet, but I definitely have a chaotic/silly side despite an adherence to logic and reason. To that end in addition to considering myself a Stoic, I am also a card-carrying pope of Discordianism. For every act of order, there is an equal and opposite action of chaos that must enter the world. I do my part in keeping that chaos fun.

It is one of the reasons my overriding motto is "in all things, logic... And cookies. Those are good too".

Collecting hobbies/skills is a hobby of mine as well. What was it before foraging for you? I'm on learning Russian

I have only eaten mushrooms that I foraged once and it was when we found some random morels. They were... not bad. I do love me some mushrooms though.
