  • I am thinking I might try Linux Mint on the laptop but I’m kind of terrified of blowing it up or wiping data. My laptop is getting old and I will likely be building a replacement desktop soon.

    But it is a gaming laptop and has strange interactions with heat and fan speed and glowy keyboard lights and I’m afraid I’ll disable some safety feature or accidentally break wifi compatibility irreversibily if I tinker too much.



  • There was an MSPaint comic posted on 4chan in ages past (2008-2010 or so) It tells the story of someone who moves in with a girl he liked and met, they fell in love, deep whirlwind romance sort of thing.

    She convinces him to get a Prince Albert piercing. They have some kind of falling out and she tears it out with her teeth next time she’s going down on him.

    Those were the first 2 (maybe 3?) parts.

    I never saw the conclusion, but there clearly was one. I have heard anecdotally that it was just a Reese’s Puffs joke at the end but I always wanted to see it for myself all the same.







  • This is how I see it too.

    If not for association with the alt right, I at least see it as a sign of “I am a terminally online dork who tries to portray myself as lovably pitiful so as to manipulate others” or “this is a crutch for my low self esteem” or just…well. Some of this is from my own personal biases and experiences, I’ll be forward about that.

    So to make a long story short, even without Nazi associations, there’s no good way to use a Pepe in my experience, and no one I know who uses him frequently has been a good person.
