This just unlocked one of my weirdest childhood memories. I played fastpitch softball as a kid, and at one away game the school's softball field was next to a pasture. During warmups and the first several innings, we watched a guy dig a hole in the pasture. In the second inning or so, we hear a gunshot off in the distance, and the third has a truck dragging a horse corpse to the big hole. The man shoved the horse corpse into the grave, and takes three innings to bury the horse.

At the team huddle after the game, one of my teammates said an eulogy for the horse.

What instructions are you following? Last time I used Rufus on Windows, it had a graphical interface with reasonable default settings and zero messing around on the command line. (I mean, I sometimes did once I was booted into Linux, but I was using distros where that's not unexpected.)

How the fuck does someone who does that poorly on the ASVAB get a full ride scholarship?

Nah, I actually really liked bunsenlabs when I tried running it live, so I'm going to install that, at least for a bit. I might try a different DE with Debian, XFCE was fine but not amazing.

It's Bazzite on wildly impractical hardware. I had the installer on my ventoy USB and decided to try and install it on my crapbook for shits and giggles.

No, it doesn't run well. But to be fair, I also had Firefox open on another desktop with the only open tab being Lemmy.

I once saw a webcomic many years ago with a straight couple in kink gear in front of a computer, and the guy was saying something like "You've been a bad girl, I'm installing Windows ME on your computer."

I tried searching for it, but I can't find it. :/

I'm in Minnesota, we do land acknowledgements here, and the longer initialism I often see is LGBTQIA2S+, but I've never seen the 2S getting the top billing. That said, I think I can speak for all (reasonable) Minnesotans when I say that we're willing to do that when we become Canada's newest province.

I'm tired of being a single bi man. You anywhere near Minneapolis and want to go on a date?

Trans people would still be a thing without socially defined gender roles. Even without gender, my sex was still wrong - my brain still told me, in times like trying to get comfortable to fall asleep, that my boobs weren't supposed to be there.

In the early 2000s my mother's bank got hands free headsets. She was horrified at how many of her coworkers would answer the phone in the bathroom.

I've seen a few YouTubers buy AliExpress 3ds consoles, and all of those have been refurbished, often with after market shells which, while often not terrible, aren't Nintendo quality. If the console shows up, it'll probably be fine, but you're still not necessarily getting an amazing deal. I got my New 3ds LL (Japanese version) in excellent condition from a seller on eBay based in Japan for about $25 less and I got one with an upper IPS screen - but mine is in black. If you really want a special 3ds and you're okay with a decent reshell, buying through AliExpress might be an alright option.

I'm trying to buy a used Japanese New 3DS LL (I hate how Nintendo named that thing) with an IPS top screen, and there's one listing where the price is what I'm willing to pay, the screens are pristine with no yellowing and I'm fine with the condition of the back plates, but there's a small crack in the console just below the upper screen. I do not have the experience to replace the whole shell, is this something I could use a bit of glue or epoxy and be fine or would this become a huge problem?

I posted and deleted a link to the whole list, there's a lot. Also, be nice, some of those designs were made by children. But there's some shitposting submissions too, I might have some fun with these.

Edit: Not sure if I should have posted this article instead, there's even more fun highlights from the list.

 

I think I'd be rather upset to discover that an OnlyFans model I subscribe to is a Minneapolis police officer. Sullying the good name of sex workers everywhere.
