I've installed Arch myself plenty of times, and I use Endeavour now just because I don't feel like spending the time. Automation is a wonderful thang.

It's not just that her behavior is harmful, it's that she's creating a whole false reality around it and controlling multiple narratives from every possible perspective. She created/co-opted a movement to go along with the Manson allegations, she moved across the country with her son to reinforce her narrative and used that as a way to hurt her ex husband, she used her power in the role of a child's mother to create a world in which there was a monster they must run away from at all costs to where the kid couldn't even play outside in Tennessee because of the monster in LA... And whenever she's confronted with the idea that what she's done is harmful to anybody she rewrites or reinforces the narrative that she's doing it for the right reasons and deflects any responsibility or awareness that she's done anything wrong (for example, when it looked like she was going to lose custody she suddenly decided it was in the child's best interest to go live with the father in LA, the very city she ran from in order to protect the very child she was taking away from LA).

I'm not saying everybody who hurts somebody is "pathological" or "psychotic". I'm saying ERW specifically exhibits a lack of capacity for empathy, a total lack of self awareness or awareness of the effects of her behavior, and has no concern or even acceptance of those effects as reality when confronted with them, and what she does and how she is is characteristic of ASPD.

Haha Malk as a first run? That had to be a treat.

It's genuinely my favorite game of all time, I only found out about it this year and I'm on my fourth playthrough (only finished twice, abandoned my brujah and am saving it for later cuz I wanted to play Malkavian, now I'm on Nosferatu).

If you like WOD lore on its own, check out Coteries of New York, Shadows of New York, and Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of The Forest. They're incredible visual novels that I found captivating.

Redemption is a mess, but great if you love WOD/VTM and can deal with Doom ripoffs from that era, but it's genuinely frustrating to play a lot of the time. I admit I only love it because I'm a huge nerd more dedicated to the lore than I am interested in actual gameplay.

Swansong is buggy and badly animated, but the story was very enjoyable for me, and I think a lot of the problems people have with it are more... Let's say, things to complain about in a YouTube video, than issues actually worth being upset about as a fan.

The rest are basically text adventure novels, they're great but it's ultimately just reading a book in which you make choices about the direction (which Coteries and Shadows also are, but accompanied by absolutely gorgeous artwork and dynamic backgrounds).

Wraith: The Oblivion - Afterlife is incredible if you have VR ๐Ÿคฉ

I'm using Connect because Jerboa ended up having some issues, what are some good foss lemmy apps?

This seems to act like games and their default difficulty options are commandments carved in stone when they're not. If I find a game to difficulty to enjoy and then find it enjoyable by cheating, that's what I'm gonna do.

Water is in every beverage, this question is unanswerable.

Even without trying to be pedantic, what about Vitamin Water? Cuz my answer would genuinely be tropical citrus vitamin water. I could also do Mountain Dew, which btw contains water.

So the question becomes based on the exclusion of water without additives, which begs the question, why not lemon water then, and what amount of additives qualifies it as 'not water' anymore? If I use lemon extract and sugar does that count as lemonade? If so, why isn't water with lemon extract considered unsweetened lemonade?

God also created infertile husbands with lazy sperm and tiny urethrae, but that doesn't stop christians from turkey basting their way into six kids. God also created women with facial and arm pit hair, but that doesn't stop christian women from getting laser hair removal or their husbands from being conditioned to be grossed out by it.

And on and on and on, not even getting into like, removing cancerous testicles and going on HRT, removing a whole ass uterus and going on HRT.... Just talking cosmetic shit here.

Gender affirming care for cis people is and always will be a much bigger industry than it is for trans people. This has nothing to do with logic. Threads and discussions like this are great, but they will only ever be heard and understood by us, not them (this is a grand sweeping generalization, some people can obviously be deradicalized).

Edit: obviously the lazy sperm and tiny urethra thing isn't cosmetic, I'm dumb, but I don't feel like rewriting ๐Ÿคท you get it

This is what I use, with JDownloader

CDisplayEx is great imo
