Concept for an anime: A slice of life series of middle-aged women who have been friends since school, who have just been hanging out together ever since, with their own money and free time since none of them ever got married or had kids. And the world they live in is a 100% played straight Anime Trope World, where insane shit happens all the time and they're not just trope-aware, but consider it perfectly normal. But none of that really touches them, so they're free to just gossip about it over drinks. Like

"Hey oh that reminds me, do you remember Uyuru from school? The underclassman with the blue hair?" "Yeah, why? What's happened?" "I heard her little sister just got Dead Mom'd some time ago." "Oh that's awful! And she was so young, wasn't she like 30?" "Yeah she was 32, had a baby with that demon lord when she was 16 and now there was some demon incident at her house and her son's gone missing, too. Probably hunting down the demons who did it." "Damn bitch that's crazy." "Yeah, you don't say."

We need more fat monsters. Fat vampires, fat WEREWOLVES. Fat bear werewolves would fix me. Big and burly is nice and all but it gets repetitive after awhile you know? Those dehydrated abs aren't healthy. Let's get some nutrition in these monsters.

Honestly i generally recommend Fedora to basically anyone. sure nvidia takes a little bit of extra work but past that ive had no issues with it for over a year or two now, though i admit its not for everyone, use what makes you happy

Linux Distros I've tried and my experience with them

Mint: Real cool. No wayland, which means my high-refresh dual monitor setup runs like ass under X11 unless I introduce tearing or pray to the Tearfree gods. Mint is the best Linux experience period but it pains me that I can't use it properly as it stands.

Manjaro: My first experience with Manjaro was installing it and the system immediately bricking itself because of some keyring issue on the repos or whatever. Later on I managed to get it working but I am not a fan of Arch, I think it is silly. If my computer breaks I want it to be because I am a dumbass and not a back of the box feature of the update cycle.

ZorinOS: Looks great, has features I need, but damn if the software on this one isn't ancient. Specifically Mesa, which ships some ubuntu focal version that is so old it's not compatible with DXVK on the current version of Proton. Not being able to use compatibility layers natively is a deal breaker for me.

Tuxedo: KDE on Debian is cool but this one isn't very stable. Out of all KDE distros I tried, this is the only one that crashed completely from moving a relatively large amount of files. More than once. And one time it took one of my backup drives with it. So not ideal.

Solus: BUDGIE SUCKS. C'mon man, no Wayland or panels on secondary displays? I put KDE on that real quick. I wouldn't use it as a beginner seeing as flatpaks have to be manually added via command line and the software repo seems kinda barren. It's going though, but I have a feeling I'm about to run into Issues(TM).

Random fact: They did a study on courtship and mating behavior of American alligators at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm in the early 1980's. This study revealed that, among other things, the majority of alligator sex is gay

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

Supervilliany isn’t a matter of morality, it’s a matter of obsession. If you have the kind of obsessive interest it takes to pursue a doctorate in a field that’s not readily financially lucrative then you’ve said or heard the phrase “I’ll show you! I’ll show you all!” at some point in academia
