What's a good Linux distro for someone that's never used it before?
I'm moderately computer literate and mostly use my PC for web browsing, vidya, and occasionally programming

>>289448
I tried Ubuntu for a while a few years ago. I hope you can manage cuz mine couldn't play videos and the guides they write for Linux users assume you're a computer nerd when I despise computers.

Does anyone here likes birdwatching?

OpenSUSE.
+ Well supported, well maintained, large corporate base - you don't want to start out on a distro that isn't used by professionals in the workplace, and SUSE is the oldest Linux corporation in the world.
+ YAST is the closest you're going to get to an equivalent to Mac OS Preferences or the Windows Control Center in a graphical Linux environment, and it runs and can be used to manage your software in text mode through a terminal/TTY login in the event that something goes catastrophically wrong with the graphics environment without requiring you to learn every name for every controls command or kernel module. So if you can only start in textonly safemode and need to connect to the internet you can just enter yast, follow a few simple menus to get to networking controls, and enable networking in order to download whatever is necessary to fix the system.
+ easy install
+ Lizard mascot
+ RPMs
+ huge library of games in repo - people use the suse build services even if they don't use sue itself.
+ an officially supported distro for NVIDIA and other large manufacturers who make Linux drivers.
+ an actually useful wiki that describes problems that real people have in real life with real examples and solutions.
+ officially supports an ARM/embedded variant, will not die if/when x86 desktop loses ground to newer or different technology.

Negatives:
- German. (This used to make the distro nearly unusable due to their Erlangen.DE repo servers lacking a North American mirror–they have mirrors now and had them for years but the reputation is still impacted).
- Poor audio support on ARM devices, if you're running a raspberry pi just use raspian.

Do you know anything about the quality of life in the air force vs the army? The reason I'm considering the air force is because everyone has always told me it's for more reserved nerdy types. The type of women you mention generally eat me alive. I'm a passive little bitch but i'm used to being yelled at and stuff

The air force is much slower tempo, more focused on academics and technical fields and generally requires higher IQs, lower physical scores. You'll still have to do some pretty gruelling tests, but most of it will be in considerably more luxury than the army. Rucks are shorter and lighter, courses have fewer obstacles and easier time requirements, even morning PT is lighter and a lot nicer. The kind of women who join the air force and navy will still include barracks bunnies, but they'll be a lot less intense. They might not be any nicer, but less aggressive and you'll find a lot more women like yourself or at least compassionate enough not to haze you for it.

Based. Screw fighting for moids in moid-led wars caused by moidery. None of these judeoalliedreakmason conflicts benefit women.

I really want to tbh. Idk is it possible. And my mother wouldn't let me.

I have thought about it multiple times because the job search fucking sucks, but I have a college degree so they don't really want me to enlist (not that I ever really tried) and always encourage me to go the officer route instead. Like I said, I have considered it. Ultimately, the military seems like such a hierarchical and authoritarian hellacious nightmare with no escape. If you get a bad commanding officer or peers in your unit, there is nothing you can do about it. You're just stuck in whatever abusive environment the military assigned you to. Yeah, rape is also so common for women in the military that it's pretty much guaranteed to happen. Unless you're ugly, then everyone would just bully you instead. Plus, the officer process is so insanely competitive that I'm not sure it's worth even trying.

Neato.

Yes it can exist but the detriment to the individual is severe self neglect. Hfa live like homeless people if by themselves 9/10 times.

90% of male autists aren’t even autists
They act like this to seem quirky and different. like no you stupid moid you’re not the “misogynist chud blackpill incel Aryan autist” you’re just a retarded male whos obsessed about races and “schizopost” on twitter/tiktok like the trillions attention whore male-tards with the “cel” at the end of their names.
They think memorizing auto parts and weapons or tanks (they don’t know shit about any of them they just post about it on the internet from time to time for internet points) will make them more autistic-like and “so different!!”.
They act NT people can’t play hoi4 and souls games (or any slop game) or can’t listen to “good music” like their shitty incelcore and metal.
They all want a submissive 18yo mommy virgin trad goth anime gf but all of that will disappear when they see a bitchy gorgeous stacy at the mall and will cry whine about women later all over the internet like they always do

>since autistic people are too self-centered and (as the experience I've got around so far) never ask how you are doing, they only talk about themselves

I noticed that about myself too and changed that. I am still not perfect (I sometimes forget things coworkers told me), but my social life improved a ton. Just taking a genuine interest in people is more than enough in my experience.

holy fuck this describes male autism fakers so well

People keep saying Internet culture is dead but the reality is that it is still alive it's just devolved into something so horrific we don't acknowledge it.

Many people are just scraping by because it costs a paycheck and a half to rent a small apartment in most cities. I live with my mom though so I don't experience it personally. Also the fed likes to print money which heavily contributes to inflation leading to prices going up while your pay basically goes down since money is losing value and most companies don't want to raise wages to balance inflation.

I was surprised that most of California is actually horrifically ugly. And smells like shit. Garbage everywhere. I have no idea why so many people desire to live in that shithole.

There is pros??

I wouldn’t run to lose weight, the high intensity of it gives you wrinkles and contributes to boob sagging in the future. Not to mention knee problems.

Eat healthy, eat at 80% full capacity, and walk 10 km a day for breezy weight loss and healthy lifestyle maintenance

No drugs and alcohol is the most correct answer.

women age gracefully by default
moids don't and they have no chance to

Something within tells me that helping someone who starts threads with such atrocious images to achieve a leading role could have negative consequences for society.

i always had a pretty flat chest, in my 20s i dated a porn addict who clearly wanted me to get bigger boobs. i ended up taking spiro (side effect is breast swelling) which made my boobs get like 2 cup sizes larger. anyway, i broke up w him and stopped taking it and am way happier now. i like looking at them but its too much to deal with and i didn't like the top heavy look

>>301042
> spiro
> completely blocks testosterone creation
Yeah you’re a troon

>>301066
They hand out spironolactone like candy with 0 labwork just for acne.

>Why do skinny girls even want these?
For me I'm just an attention whore and I feel like having bigger boobs would give me more attention. But it's alright that mine are small, like you said, it's way more comfortable and maybe I would get overwhelmed with too much attention

>>301066
i got it from one of those dumb online skincare websites lol. i chatted with a nurse, sent her a pic of my teenage acne, and she gave me the rx

funnily enough i did find out about the breast swelling side effect bc a troon on tiktok made a video about it. it works for women too though as my friend had the same side effect

What's this?

it's an old japanese flash game.If you search "romance academy game" it should pop up.

Basically you just laser boys with your eyes, to make them fall in love with you… you have to be quick tho.

the police in the UK is basically islamic so yes

Americans say that you should just put your head in the sand and ignore the lessons of history because debt, wars, and tyranny never have consequences.

i don't understand how you see it as a pinkpill that men literally can't help themselves, because of their biology??? that nothing short of castrating each and every one will stop them from Wanting to perpetuate patriarchical rape culture??

i fucking hate trannies. I went to get coffee and of course I get rung up by a 6 ft cross dresser staring at my tits.
