  • Oh, ol spiky flappy fucker. My late grandfather loved growing succulents, and when I was a teen he “gifted” some to my parents by just planting small clippings he brought with him in their flower beds. Lovely flowers and bushes arranged to mimic home and gardening magazines, with some mean spiky fucker just sprouting out of somewhere random near the edge. It looked ridiculous and always made me smile. Little intensely angry gremlins perched on the side of flower arrangements.

    The best part was watching my poor dad try to dig them up and put them in pots so they could be out of the flower beds and shoved inside with the indoor plants, at my mom’s request. It’d look like my dad had it stable, then the whole cactus would tip over and get him like there was some small imp in it that just wanted to prick him. I think the third time he finally started using bigger pots so they’d just collapse on the potting soil instead of his hands.

    Had one that looked like this for quite a while that never made it insidd the house. Think it finally died one winter when we got stuck with a few feet of snow for a week or more.






  • True, but don’t discount the potential importance of sex to a adult romantic relationship or your partner.

    For some people (like myself), I tend to take a lack of it as a significant indicator that I’ve done something egregiously wrong and/or that my partner doesn’t feel any desire towards me anymore.

    And please, if your partner has talked to you about feeling there is a lack of physical intimacy, sex, or desire: “I wouldn’t let you fuck me if I didn’t want it” is an absolutely soul crushing response to trying to tell someone you don’t feel desired because you always have to initiate and they don’t touch you during sex without being prompted. It’s not meant to be something where one participant just passively “lets” it happen.

    If it’s not obvious, I have scars on my soul regarding this.






  • It’s absolutely possible. That’s why reputable sites like FitGirl reccomend you disable the security, restart your computer, play the game, then re-enable the security, and restart again.

    Don’t run other shit or browse the web, minimize what you’re doing and running while your security is weakened to the bare minimum. Play the game and that’s it, then put things back to “safe”.

    As with any crack or bypass software, you shouldn’t run it if you don’t trust the source. These hypervisor bypasses are really for special cases where you absolutely can’t wait for a traditional crack.

    I’d argue personally that you can always just wait.

    Now the actual likelyhood of anything taking advantage and being able to deeply persist once you turn the security settings back on? Can’t really say. I would assume the chance is unlikely, but that’s not based off of fucking anything substantial.


  • That developmental comment strikes me as more autistic, and I’m not sure if that’s even accurate for ADHD. My understanding is that it’s based off serotonin receptor issues that ultimately result in reduced executive functioning capability. Basically the brain literally doesn’t release the reward chemical as appropriate, so we hyper fixate on immediate reward.

    Most people saying shit like “everyone is a little X” are just being dismissive. Maybe they don’t care, maybe they don’t want to talk about it, but you’re probably not convincing them. I’d probably keep it short with something along the lines of “Most people drink sometimes too, but some people are alcoholics. The difference is severity.”

    I’ll be real, I don’t often discuss my “conditions” outside of my spouse, my immediate family, and close friends. I don’t go out of my way to hide it, but I’m not exactly volunteering it.

    Anyway, the difference in a lot of these sort of things that people say everyone is a little bit of, is the severity as mentioned earlier.

    Like for depression: Yeah, everyone gets sad sometimes. Most people can probably recall a time where something made them sadder than made logical sense. Most people don’t have trouble finding happiness in literally everything, truly believe the world would be better off without them in it, seriously plan suicide methods and weigh the pros and cons of technique, and have such literal and real problems getting out of bed in the morning that sometimes they just don’t.

    OCD: Everyone has certain things they’re extra particular about. Most people don’t spend 6 hours in a frenzied panic scrubbing their whole body raw because they found a small hair they didn’t recognize on their shirt.

    ADHD: Everyone has issues focusing sometimes. Most people don’t have a near full incapability to deal with things that only have long term effects. Most people don’t have trouble maintaining focus on things for longer than 5 minutes at a time. Most people are able to more regularly force themselves to do what they should rather than what is the most immediately gratifying.

    These aren’t the best examples, but I hope I get the point across.

    And don’t discount the depression and anxiety diagnoses either. Depression is pretty frequently co-morbid with ADHD, as far as I know.

    Personally, I’m on some ADHD meds, anti-depressants, and anti-anxiety. ADHD meds took me probably 5 years of dedicated trying with my Dr to find the right one and dosage that worked for me (this was before quick and extended release meds were a thing). Anti-depressants have luckily been a one and done, got it right the first time. Got on them when I realized that while I had plenty of reasons to be sad, it was preventing me from being able to reliably get out of bed in the morning and do basic care things like showering on a regular basis. Had a period where I didn’t leave my room except to eat for a few months. Tried breaking from them a few times and confirmed they’re still needed. Similar with anti-anxiety. Got it right the first time. Got them when I realized I was literally unable to leave work at work and would just loop stressful shit from my workday in my head during my downtime. Was having stress nightmares about being at work. Same thing, took a break and the shit came back so… yeah.



  • Note: Because Morphe, a group of former Revanced devs that split from Revanced through a hard fork, is claiming that Revanced has taken some of their code back into Revanced without following the proper attribution for use of this code based off Morphe’s license.

    This isn’t just some “kneecap the competitors” thing.

    And this is also how I learned that Morphe is a hard fork of Revanced from former devs of it.




  • I think you’ve severely underestimated just how critical Linux is to the tech industry, and just how hard it would be for companies to move off of it.

    If companies were afraid they’d have to face that kind of work, they would push back on our behalf.

    Or they would make their own forks, we’d end up with a painful unmaintainable mess, and then they’d push back on our behalf.

    You manage upwards against people unwilling to listen or comprehend by forcing them to experience the pain of their own poor decisions that they were already warned of. You don’t accomplish anything by proactively capitulating to bad requests.
