  • It’s actually pretty easy with the guided installer currently shipping with arch, and there are actually numerous guides on how to install Arch.

    Choosing not to is perfectly reasonable, but it’s not for lack of effort from the Linux community trying to make things easier and more accessible.








  • I used to be kind of low level anti-pharmaceuticals. Nothing too dramatic (never antivax), but definitely quietly on the side of other forms of interventions of any kind being preferable over drugs.

    I still acknowledge that in many instances other interventions can be better, but in a lot of cases a pharmaceutical intervention is the quickest, most effective and safest way for people to deal with whatever health or mental health conditions they have. And also lots of drugs are perfectly safe over the long term.

    I think I was raised with a lot of ideas around purity, but when I came out as trans is when that started to change in a big way.

    It’s a nonsense mixture of electrolytes. We mostly sweat out sodium, not potassium. Prime has a lower level of sodium and a higher level of potassium. It just doesn’t make sense.

    And, y’know, it’s just fully a scam. It’s mostly successful because he’s famous. The business seems to be failing in a big way.


  • The whole idea of astrology is that your date of birth determines who you are as a person. If two people share a birth date, it would make sense that those people are very similar if the assumptions of astrology are true.

    These two people share a birth date and not much else. They are extremely different people, because the assumptions are not true.


  • 30 is young. Back pain is mostly a collection of chronic pain symptoms that don’t correspond to meaningful harm or damage. You’re probably not in need of “healing” because there’s probably nothing actually wrong with you. You’re not broken; you’ve just trained your nervous system to produce a pain sensation because you’re hyper fixated on it.

    I don’t know why all these memes are coming up that contribute to this idea that being over 30 means you’re somehow disabled. You’re probably not, and perpetuating this idea is decidedly unhelpful, even in a joking context.

    When I turned 30 I committed to taking fitness seriously. I reached a higher level of physical fitness and athleticism than my younger and less disciplined self could have managed. I was able to perform on an much higher level in my chosen occupation, which was performance based and exceptionally difficult physically, and because I did more strength training I had the ability to inoculate myself from injury. Basically, I feel better than ever because I started taking this stuff more seriously.

    You have agency, too.
