Not the fella you replied to, but a common method is to keep up a dream journal. Write your dreams down, write down common themes. The idea is that your subconscious will pick up on these things while you're dreaming, and you'll be able to control your dreams.

Spectrum Call Center in Charlotte, NC Reportedly Provided Fried Chicken and Watermelon to Employees for Juneteenth ( thencbeat.com )

“We want to acknowledge some feedback received regarding our Juneteenth celebration,” Pezzuto said in his letter obtained by The North Carolina Beat. “Although our intent was to celebrate this nationally recognized day, some of you voiced your concerns regarding the associated food choices.”...

According to my friend who works there, it was red drink.

I know a few people who work for companies that acknowledge and give time off for Juneteenth. My company is not such a company, though.

Spectrum, even, treats Juneteenth like any other federal holiday, like Christmas or Thanksgiving. It's basically a volunteer-first, lottery system for who gets time off and who has to work, but those that work get extra holiday pay and the call centers try and do something extra (like catering) for those that are working.

There is a long-standing history of using fried chicken and watermelon (among other foods) to negatively depict Black People in the United States. I agree that both foods are excellent (watermelon even being a popular summertime fruit that can feed a lot of people), but having them together on Juneteenth (a day of celebration for the freedom of Black People) is pretty on the nose.

Back in the early days I found Firefox to be clunkier and slower than Chrome, which was the reason for my using Chrome for well over a decade. But since Chrome became Google's My Little Spyware, I've moved back to Firefox and it's so much better. More stable, better customization, and way more privacy focused.

Someone else said it but yeah, this feels like astroturfing.

what's your current linux distro?

wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it's a gacha. I don't want to gamble with my account being banned, so I'm keeping windows for it specifically.) this'll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues with...

Bazzite Linux running KDE Plasma 6. It's a wonderful distro based on Fedora 40 (I think, still kinda new) and it's made for gaming.

I've got to +1 to Bazzite. I had tons of issues with Debian and its derivatives, but Bazzite works flawlessly out of the box. I use an AMD GPU but it has out-of-box support for Nvidia, I hear.

Sorry this isn't an answer to your problem. I had similar issues when toying with Debian and Linux Mint on my laptop (Nvidia GPU). Ultimately I gave up and put EndeavourOS on it, which worked perfectly as well.

I tend to like the instance I'm on pretty well (wetdry.world). It's not as serious and mostly everyone is a linux-using shit poster.

But I'm inclined to agree, I do miss the really funny gimmick accounts from Twitter.

Oh shit is there an abandoned one? I thought about it because I do miss SYAC. But if I do it, it'll mean I have to start clicking on clickbait headlines...

If they don't like it, they can just leave. That's what they've been saying for decades, right?

I'm building a new PC soon and today I'm trying some psychedelic mushrooms for the first time.

    The Mastodon instance I'm on (wetdry.world) has HUNDREDS of users. Don't use an instance like mastodon.social and you'll have a better time.

    I've had at least one dream where I used my phone to message a friend something (which is something I do every day). I can't recall any other specific times, but I feel like I've seen it a few times.

    Don't think I've seen my computer though.

    It's rare, but as a long-haired (cis) male, someone might refer to me as ma'am or miss. It hasn't happened since I worked retail 7 or 8 years ago.

    Admittedly, I don't have many trans folks in my life to refer to. If I see someone and their gender is ambiguous, I default to they/them pronouns. I don't think I've ever offended anyone from misgendering them. I try to respect people and their identities. Hell, I don't even like misgendering dogs 😅

    In middle school, I had an incident where a kid a grade above me (he was held back, so he should've been a high schooler by this point and was HUGE) began to mess with me, unprompted, at the end of the day.

    He stepped on my shoes as we walked, poked me, called me names, etc. When I turned around and called him a bitch and kept walking, he sucker punched me and ran. It was so bad I ended up in the emergency room with stitches.

    Anyways, my parents were called and they threatened legal action. The school begged them not to, because they were "going to take care of it, we promise." Once we found out he was only suspended for a week, my parents got all the info they needed to press charges for assault. He ended up in juvie.

    Looking back, it's a shame he ended up "in the system," but that's what he gets for being a bitch. Lol

    I don't mean to start an argument about it, but hating Nazis and hating Israel are not mutually exclusive. Hating Israel is antizionism, not antisemitism.
