As an American, I'm just as sick of it as you are. I voted by mail weeks ago, but because I'm in a swing state I'm bombarded by mail and text messages.

Anyway, I recently switched to the CachyOS kernel. I won't try Factorio though because I know I'll get horribly addicted.

I think learning linux and the terminal is a good place to start. Once you get comfortable doing basic stuff in the terminal, it will be easy to start making bash scripts. From there, something like Python would be a good next step.

I love typing 'yay kitty' on a new install

I've been going to the gym 4 days a week (often just 2, but ideally 4). 2 upper body days, 2 lower body days.

For me, going to the gym means that I'm much more likely to do a full workout than if I stayed home. It's also easier to properly target all of the important muscle groups. Machines are a good place to start. Use lower weight than you think, and really focus on feeling the muscle and doing slow, controlled motions.

I just do protein shakes, which is maybe not enough. I definitely don't get enough calories, as I live alone and have a very hard time preparing food and eating a proper amount. Calorie surplus is important for building muscle. I've made very little progress because I keep losing any weight that I gain :(

I've never felt like I'm part of a community, and I have no idea where to even look for that. I feel like I'm doomed to be lonely and unhappy my whole life.

You're going to die on the hill that music is objective, and the Beatles are objectively bad? Interesting...

I'm curious what bands you consider "objectively good"

This is a meaningless strawman. I don't see anyone saying things like this.

Well I didn't make this post so I can't really speak to the intent behind it.

But I don't think that's what this post is doing at all.

It's "fuck cars" not "fuck people who drive cars"

Obviously the average driver is not responsible for the societal reliance on cars.

Well I guess music is inherently subjective, but they have definitely written many good songs.

Because they're good! Excellent songwriting that stands the test of time.

That song is literally nonsense meant to confuse people who overanalyze their songs. It's not meant to be 'deep' haha.

You don't have to like them, but there's a reason why I and so many others think they're fantastic.
