What a fascinating character he is. Again, thanks for sharing and I'm sorry you had to deal with this nonsense. At least you got a good story out of it!

Absolutely insane read. Thanks for sharing, although I'm still very stuck on Phillip's personality. It sounds like he was rather inclusive, yet was a real shitbag outside the table?

As a person who has to use Teams for work: fuck Teams.

just discovered this community, I got you fam

I'm convinced those people have to be elaborate trolls. Like the flat earthers.

Hello neighbor! NC will welcome you. It's purple here. Rural areas are not so great but closer to the bigger cities (Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, Greensboro/Winston) are nice.

Sorry about your sanity.

I had a similar experience on my laptop. I tried Ubuntu which broke after trying to throw on Nvidia drivers (using the official docs). I tried Mint and Debian, both of which couldn't detect my laptop's wifi card (after hours of trying to fix - apparently a common issue but the fixes did not work for me!). I landed on Fedora, worked great. I'm now on EndeavourOS, but Fedora was the stepping stone I needed.

My desktop I built recently is Bazzite, which is Fedora based and I love it.

I did one of those Hey girls, did you know that um memes (and continued to make them) back in the day. Netted me niche internet micro celebrity status. I won't tell you which one, though.

Not the fella you replied to, but a common method is to keep up a dream journal. Write your dreams down, write down common themes. The idea is that your subconscious will pick up on these things while you're dreaming, and you'll be able to control your dreams.

I did theatre in high school (a decade ago) and we performed the straight play The Boys Next Door, a story about four intellectually disabled men living together with the help of their caretaker. The original show was written circa 1988, and uses "retarded" as the word to describe the men. Obviously for a high school play, we couldn't use that.

Our director interfaced with a local group to determine what the correct terminology should be, and over the course of rehearsal, we changed the phrase from mentally challenged to intellectually challenged to intellectually disabled. It was important to us to make sure we got it right, but it was also surprising that the term changed very quickly.

Not sure what the politically correct term is nowadays, I try and avoid the R slur. Point is, this is a dumb greentext among the many I have saved; I Guess I could have picked a different one.

There is a long-standing history of using fried chicken and watermelon (among other foods) to negatively depict Black People in the United States. I agree that both foods are excellent (watermelon even being a popular summertime fruit that can feed a lot of people), but having them together on Juneteenth (a day of celebration for the freedom of Black People) is pretty on the nose.
