I’ve gotten 4 or 5 messages from this bot, also since about january.

guns are much easier to aim and use. technically a bow is quieter, but guns can be made to be fairly quiet and are generally much less bulky than bows. generally speaking, guns are point and click. bows are dependent on how you hold the bow, how you hold the arrow, and the form with which you release the arrow (letting the bow move the right way and amount is involved). on top of that even the quietest configuration of a gun will have more power per size than a bow because gunpowder is very energy dense and the barrel of a gun is a great way of focusing that energy into a projectile.

the off days are fine, the net result is more what matters.

I always get like a 2 on the sides and finger length on top. I don’t really like it but my hair’s looked like shit (to me, anyway) since I started caring so I just decided to stop doing that.

I’d recommend sweet peppers and dried fruit (i like apricots) as snacks for fiber. still tastes great, is healthy, and will help with ‘regularity’, if needed.

i’d combine fat and protein into one and go to a brazillian steakhouse.

That’s kinda what it expects actually, because for the majority of human evolution we didn’t have guaranteed meals at regular(ish) times like we do now and what we did have would vary wildly in nutritional value. there should be no issues except the… aftermath of certain meals.

regular computers were useless except for basic addition and multiplication for a long time, and now we have the internet. quantum computers, when they are ready, will be capable of doing calculations much faster than it’s even physically possible for normal computers to. just because it isn’t ready yet doesn’t mean it will never be useful. your take is shortsighted and ignorant of how developing new stuff works.

how can a thing that has existed for years be impossible?

You can’t piss off the haters if you’re dead.

I’m not a Republican, but I am a good bit more right than a lot of the fediverse tends to be (consider myself centrist, also refuse to align with a party on principle). I think they are doing a terrible job of diplomacy right now. I do think it is an intentional thing (on account of that’s kind of who trump is) but I still think this much stuff against our allies is really stupid. I don’t want to say too much as I didn’t vote this year (forgot until too late) and by my standards that means I don’t get to complain, but I can say I disagree with their methods overall, even though I may not disagree with everything they are trying to do.

mastodon is already the next twitter, bluesky is just a direct copy of it with nothing keeping it from going the same way. mastodon is open source (can’t be corpoed), federated (can talk to other platforms/instances so being on a small one doesn’t hurt anything), and most importantly, uses a protocol that doesn’t make self-hosting impossible due to storage requirements.

I’m not to great at managing sleep or food intake myself, but I’ve found that adding some flavoring to your water helps with hydration. I don’t mean those little squirt bottle things though, I mean more like tea. I used to make tea in the morning before school and when I finished it I would refill the water bottle with regular water from the water fountain. the flavor wouldn’t be as strong as when I first made the tea, but it made me go from almost never drinking water to drinking 1 bottle of tea (that water bottle was like 20 oz) and 2 bottles of water a day. they also make cold brew tea now, and from the couple times i’ve tried it it seemed to steep pretty well in ice water and had a good flavor. also as dumb as it may seem, having a water bottle with some cool gimmicky feature may help too. for example, i use an owala one right now and it’s been pretty helpful (i stopped doing the tea thing for a while bc i ran out and forgot to buy more) as well.

you shouldn’t worry about being skinny, only not being fat. the goal should be to avoid the bad thing (being fat, in this case meaning only fat to the point of unhealthiness) not to be the opposite because that is bad too (being excessively skinny can cause just as many issues). as long as you aren’t at the point one way or the other where it is hurting your health nobody actually cares. also I’m aware op was joking but some of y’all need to hear this.

@ryujin470@fedia.io here’s a brief list, in no particular order and based pretty much entirely on my own opinions and experience.

1. you have to learn a little bit about what happens behind the scenes sometimes. for example, if you don’t know what distro packages are or what flatpak is (or the reasons behind each of them, honestly) then installing apps kinda sucks at first.

2. you can end up installing a package thinking it is the official one, when in fact it is some variety of third-party. generally this doesn’t really hurt anything but it can (look up fedora flatpak).

3. sometimes cool features get stuck in limbo because none of the people who want them know how to code

4. sometimes cool features get stuck in limbo because of politics (in-project politics, not what you probably thought at first)

5. it can be hard to figure out if something is good or if the people reccomending it are just trying to help a new user find something easy and, since they don’t actually use it and haven’t for a while, don’t know that it kind of sucks now (I’m thinking of ubuntu here but it happens with a lot of stuff, distro or otherwise)

6. all the damn tribalism

7. drivers are hell on most distros

8. app availabilty on non-.deb systems

9. some apps refuse to look native (gtk apps on kde, qt apps on gnome, anything made by a mac user for some reason, every browser fighting tooth and nail to default to windows titlebar icons)

10. all the damn tribalism
