it's fine that there are arch distros with calamares but why would you replace archinstall with your own stupid little installation TUI menu that's probably a wrapper for archinstall anyways

i know everyone has different experiences of life and the world and culture but it's really funny when you see a post that's like "name an underrated album that..." and someone earnestly replies "ok computer"

lately i keep thinking about putting a thumb lever shifter on my e bike and i don't know if it's a great idea for upshifting quickly in high pedal assist or if i'm sleep deprived and it's a terrible idea or if i should get my lever fix on a hardtail mtb with cruiser handlebars like everyone else

one of the craziest things about being less depressed is that death metal is legitimately scary sometimes even sober

no i don't care if the drummer is playing a lefty kit

it's musicianphobic to pan the snare right, the floor tom left, and the other toms right to left in ascending pitch. no i'm not any good at playing a drum kit but i've sat behind enough of em in my life to know which side is which and i'm not imagining myself in the audience.

tbh in modern conservatism (~1965-present), and therefore the big tent of the republican party, there have always been two major strains of racism, welfare-slashing anti-civil rights neoconservatism and white nationalism. the white nationalists are in charge of the racism for the first time.

I think two things are true:

1. young republicans were always terrible and racist

2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

we have the narrowest little majority of the city council that simply doesn't want to do their job except when it means complaining about people (on and off the council) who are mad about them not taking their job seriously, being transphobic, licking boots, etc
