Oh boy yes, but mostly early internet memes, when 4chan was the bleeding edge of internet “culture”. Shit like advice animals were spammed to hell and back until they got enough natural momentum.

God I hated questions like this in school. There’s always something specific the teacher is looking for, but nothing to point you towards it.
Overly online A(u)DHD person “Get mental health care instead of latching onto an online personality stereotype” challenge! Level: impossible.
(All meant in good fun. Everyone has a different path to better. I seriously do recommend therapy if you can find a good therapist though. I maybe could have worked through the shit they’re helping me with on my own, but I’ve made more progress towards who I want to be in a few months than I have in years.)

You can’t be serious, or you must not support Windows much.
I don’t think much of my workplace’s Windows desktop “engineer” but even they’ve put together (and keep updated) an image that can get from blank drive to fully installed, updated, baseline programs for our company installed, all settings tweaked to get rid of 90% of the dumb Windows bloat (have to leave the shit the execs like in place) in 30 minutes unattended.
The server builds my team oversees are 10 minutes setups, if that.
Like, I’ve been desktop support, and installing and configuring the department specific programs could be such annoying shit that you’d end up saving more time reimaging when something fucked up than to try and fix it, but the initial OS install was rarely the issue. Maybe for the first few days with entirely new hardware while we figured out the right drivers, but that was it.
Linux is leagues better than Windows, but some of this shit I keep seeing in these Linux communities is batshit. You personally not being familiar with Windows isn’t a reason it sucks, any more than people saying Linux is complicated is a reason for them to hate Linux.

That’s still rule of thumb on Windows. Push the updates into the install media in advance and save the trouble later. Guess since Linux updates tend to be easier they just stopped?

It could be done in 15 minutes with Windows as well, if you actually knew what you were doing. Hell, I’ll give you 40 minutes if you know what you’re doing and don’t have proper tools already setup.
Windows is a shitshow, but your personal lack of familiarity isn’t evidence of that, lol.
They also adjusted the color to make it all more flesh colored.

I’m well aware. I’m not talking about those situations. I’m talking ~20 comments deep on a thread that has seen no other action for multiple days. And I’m not talking about it just getting one downvote between when I reply from people happening to find it.
And even then, I just check. I’m not harassing people, I’m not jumping to immediately blocking. I’m just looking to see if it is something weird going on. If there is, I block.
And I haven’t done any of this since last year. No need.

What? Ok?
This isn’t a comment on a sub thread of a sub thread of an otherwise long dead thread jumping from no downvotes to -3 in like a single day (between the time I made my comment and the time I’m responding to the reply). I’m not actively watching this stuff and I think you’ve misunderstood what I’m talking about.
Now if you’re going to check my profile page over the next few days to a week? Then I might notice the downvotes and look, but I honestly haven’t noticed anything like that or checked votes against my comments since the event I mentioned in my last comment with that powermod, which was sometime last year.
Downvotes on a comment like mine, offering a semi-reasonable explanation for disliked behavior, are entirely expected. Hell, downvotes an any comment expressing an opinion.

The only time I check is to try and catch if I’m being targeted by someone mass down voting me or using alts to do so. Only when I’m seeing weird stuff like every one of my comments for a while getting at least one downvote, or seeing my comments deep in a one on one conversation on an otherwise dead thread getting multiple downvotes (no one’s going to even see those except me and who I’m talking to).
Unfortunately, this has been a “you’re only paranoid if they aren’t out to get you” situation. Most give up after a day or two and I just block and move on, but it was a bit common for a few months.
I caught one of the “respected” members of my instance pulling that shit, a person who moderates multiple comms, downvoting me using their alts over multiple instances.
They accused me of doxxing them (they were actually around that time). Now I have a bunch of bans in my modlog saying that I used a slur, when I was quoting the name of an ancient meme and I edited the word out long before they did the bans.

Do you consider feces an animal?
Don’t forget the step in the middle that led to the cornposting: OOPS! All US Federal Politics!

Yeah, far_university got it. Infrasound is what I was referring to specifically, and your comment has me wondering now if there’s been any attempts to measure for it around wind turbines too.
The known negative health effects from the noise pollution around data centers are bad enough, but there’s evidence of further effects than that due to the infrasound as well, which isn’t immediately obvious as it’s not within human hearing range

At least something made them reconsider. Land zoned for housing development near where I live just got abandoned after multiple years owned by some shitheads who were suing the local government for not allowing them to turn it into a ground shipping hub in the middle of miles of residential land (broken up with the occasional school and strip mall type businesses), only for the land to be picked up by a group trying to build a data center claiming it would bring significant jobs to the area.
I’ve been to a few data centers for work. Job hubs they ain’t.

I’ll make sure to leave plenty of illegal pollution in my surroundings, and to emanate sub-audible frequencies harmful to human health for a multiple mile radius.
Precariously balancing a terrible mobius strip of circular financing that itself props up the majority of the US stock market might be a little tough though. Anyone have any tips?
Your boyfriend is at most
2535 years old, and only if you are 69.Oooooh boy I’m glad that I already have everyone responding to you blocked.
My wife’s ~15 years older than me, and while it generally doesn’t matter more than making restaurant servers that check ID do a double take, there are times where her pulling me up past a stage of my life has resulted in me lacking some skills people normally build up during that time.
Just be safe and make sure you’re doing what is truly best for each of you. Good luck and enjoy yourself.
It’s simple, just make more money. /j
No, but you should talk to a doctor about these feelings. There may be other options for you. Different medicine or psychological treatments that may have better outcomes for you.
There’s no single “happy pill” that works for everyone, and sometimes something that works for one person can make symptoms worse in other people.
