The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Ex girlfriend votes libertarian but says SSI isn't government related.

Lol wut?

She probably read someone on the internet say "SSI isn't welfare, you pay for it with taxes on your own income" and assumed it was as simple as money in, money out.
 
Linux is bullshit, unless you're writing software or running a server on it. I use it at work because I have to.

Chrome, Google Docs and OpenOffice are all glitchy as fuck on it, Chrome even crashes my PC sometimes. Microsoft Office isn't compatible with it, nor are most games I would play (not that this matters at work, but it's a deal breaker for me at home).

Installing and updating software is a pain in the ass because there isn't the concept of an "installer file" like the .msi file in Windows, and Linux's software updater app often comes only with knowledge of where to download "free as in speech" apps, making the ones you actually use take a lot of extra steps to download and install.

I've also found it extremely difficult to install printers, and folder navigation is way clunkier and less intuitive than in Windows.

People love bitching about Windows because it's made by a big corporation, but the truth is operating systems are difficult as fuck to make, and there's a lot of work that goes into Windows that has never gone into Linux.

Ubuntu is user friendly, like windows in some respects. The draw of Linux/Unix is in its power user capabilities though. You can do things in one line that put multiple lines of DOS to shame. If you're not using the command line there's no real point in using Linux, imo. Unix is the language to use when communicating with large servers/supercomputers

I'm using Ubuntu as well. The Gnome Software Centre sucks ass but I've gotten used to installing and updating using only the command line, so really no trouble for me. Aside from some games I've had no problems getting programs because basically everything I use is already available for Linux natively, and I haven't experienced any crashing issues at all.

I've only ever been stuck in bed for a day at most, and that's after drinking the sorta amounts that really should hospitalize someone that doesn't weigh 30 stone.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE IS COOL. SO METAL. FUCK THE SUN.

I guess you can put me in the majority 'cant be bothered' camp when it comes to jumping the Windows ship.

I'd be happy not to use Windows but then I'd have to find alternative versions for all the music software I use and in many cases that doesn't exist so. Eh. I'm okay with Windows 7 anyway. I know what I'm doing with computers so it's not like I've got it running all bloated to fuck like the average retard would.
 
Clearly you've never drank enough then! I wasn't bed bound but yesterday was a total write off, I wasn't fit to do anything.
I get blackout drunk pretty regularly and I get hungover but all next day/days in bed must require some sort of gargantuan consumption rate or something.

it's only happened to me twice, i assume it constitutes alcohol poisoning. it's not that i was asleep all that time or something, just that if i sat up i immediately felt like throwing up.

Sitting naked by a fan.

Spent 3 hours earlier in this house earlier for aftercare stuff. It's about 30-32c (something like 90f) and that felt cool compared to in there. Baby crying constantly. Everything smelled like shitty nappies. Worst fucking place.

Elaborate?
 
that's one terrible thing about travelling europe, WW2 so devastating no one has AC or even consistent fan usage. fucking sweated all day for 2 months

**except for 50F Iceland
 
75-85F with plenty of breeze is ideal summer weather.

My main disinterest in anything warmer is a general disinterest in shorts. I feel naked in shorts, they fuckin suck, and weather necessitating shorts fucking sucks.
