Yeah, that's the point. Their fart is about to be so powerful that the laws of aerodynamics take a backseat.

Ah yeah, that's fair. Well, if you ever get sick of Windows just know that:

  1. KDE Plasma feels a lot more like Windows 10 than Windows 11 does, in terms of GUI. Of course, that's my opinion, but there's a theme that is literally just Windows 7.

  2. The asterisk is getting smaller every day. Now that said, if you play online games with anticheat then yeah you should stick with Windows, but you're not going to see many games you have to troubleshoot on Linux in the year 2025. Just download, check the box for Proton, and play.

  3. Most Linux distributions are not like Legos. They can be, but for gaming especially they're pretty damn preconfigured nowadays. Distros like CachyOS and Bazzite specifically are set up with everything you need for gaming, and distros like Pop!_OS and Mint have little "shop" apps that let you browse all the stuff you can use.

  4. Lmao

  5. Lmao based, I hope you feel differently about gnus and dragons.

  6. So true, but it doesn't really matter what distro you choose, as long as you make sure it's one that meets your needs. So if you game, go with a gaming distro.

  7. Yeahhh, idk anything about that. I've been using nothing but Linux to game for like 2 years now, and I've never had to configure drivers. It can be really irritating when something breaks though, I feel that.

Now, the Linux community is actively hostile to new users, which is the reason for my little response essay here. Every time someone is frustrated with Linux, people are quick to jump on them and cast blame, but it really can be convoluted. Which is why it's crazy to me that nobody ever talks about how rapidly intuitive it's become since 2023. Like, Linux was unusable for me in 2022, but now I can never go back.

Anyway, I hope this didn't come across as argumentative or preachy, that was not at all my intention. Thank you for sharing your reasoning!

I suppose weakening Klan membership at the time of release would be more accurate, I'll add it to the post

Nooooo Stamets it's not too late to save yourself!!!

I jest, but I do wonder why you feel that way?

What's really great about that comic is it's a loose adaptation of a 1946 episode of the Adventures of Superman radio show called "Clan of the Fiery Cross," wherein Superman also takes on the Klan.

Klan membership went down after the broadcast aired, partially because fathers couldn't really explain to their kids why Superman wanted to fight the Klan.

It's credited pretty heavily with weakening Klan membership at the time of release, and it's on YouTube.

This is kinda unrelated, but you were mentioning some of the identity moments in the comic. I really appreciated how they did some similar commentary in the new movie as well and, since I had never seen those themes focused on in Superman, I did some research into the history of immigration commentary in Superman.

Anyway, that's how I found out there's an adaptation from the 1980s where the life pod carrying Superman actually just contains DNA which it then assembles into Superman, all so Superman can be an American-born citizen. The 80s were one of the decades of all time.

Fuck, I'm going to have to wait to watch this one.

Eddy has always impressed me with how in-depth his journalism can be on the most minute topics. His video where he ate at every Rainforest Café was probably the most coverage that chain has had in years, and his piece on ghost kitchens is like the only source you need to understand that bullfuckery.

That is to say, I'm sure he really went hard with the research for this one. Would not surprise me if he isolated himself with ChatGPT for a week.

You don't understand, I'm scouring the internet for obscure archives of videos on how to manually uninstall Windows 11 components with the command line because Linux is just too hard to learn!

So, I'm going to be the best man in my friend's wedding. I'm very flattered to have the honor. He's one of my closest friends, and I have no problem supporting him as his best man/best trans.

Furthermore, I'm out to him, and he has made it clear that he wants me to show up in whatever way makes me the most comfortable. I've picked out a dress, started taking voice lessons, and plan on getting my hair and makeup done professionally.

I don't feel dysphoric at all about filling a traditionally male role, but...

How the fuck do I write a speech? A lot of best men seem to give speeches that joke about their 'bromance' with the groom and all that, which I find to be wholly inappropriate in my scenario.

My first thought was poking fun at picking a woman for best man, but some of his family are transphobic and I don't want to rely on gender humor out of fear that they stew in their transphobia and say something to ruin his wedding. Then I thought maybe I could crack a joke or two about being trans - but I also don't want to lean into the self-deprecation so much that I validate anyone's transphobia.

So, how do I even approach this?

I was thinking I could open with, "When the groom asked me to be his best man, I said, 'sit down, there's something you should know.'"

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but this is a friend who has been there for me in the past. I want to fill my role in his wedding perfectly. Any advice is welcome and appreciated.
