Oh god, is plip plap the gay one?? I promised my mom in high school that I wasn’t gay; if she finds out, she’ll never let me live it down.

Excuse me, but I believe you dropped your monster condoms.
We don’t tolerate ableism here. They were calling the OP “mentally disabled” as an insult and advising them to get tested.
If you don’t think it’s ableism just because it’s supporting your side of the argument, then so be it; I do.
Yeah, I enforced Rule 1: “😇 Be Nice!”, quoting from it exactly. We don’t tolerate ableism around here. You were using the mentally disabled as the punchline to an insult, and the fact you’re apparently trying to pretend otherwise is insulting.
Oh, I won’t block them because I moderate a community they spent weeks ruining and barely didn’t get banned from as an olive branch.

They come up to me – great people, smart people – and they come up and they tell me: "Mr. Technician, sir, we’re so impressed with your terminology. Everybody’s talking about it. China’s talking – " they don’t have very good doctors over there, folks, so they come to me for advice.

Mean nothing, these lives do.
The ketamine stash I left in Jesus’ tomb, I desire.
That’s 100% fair; I wasn’t meaning to imply public domain means “you should never credit it”. I should’ve been more clear that I was just adding a neat tidbit rather than criticizing the good practice of citing sources (albeit done here superfluously for comedic effect).

And I agree. There’s nothing copyrightable to steal.
Of course. I am, after all, Jesus; I know the best medical terms – tremendous terms.
Knowing how to plant the seed is crucial too.
I heard you just put your thingie in her woo-hoo bag and then you plip plap until you both yeehaw.
I’d say I can kind of see someone getting Kentucky and Virginia mixed up, so I guess here are some general tips, throwing spaghetti at the wall so maybe it helps someone:
- Virginia’s hump is a lot taller (absolutely and proportionately) than Kentucky’s.
- Virginia is a Sonic the Hedgehog OC with
peninsulasspikes coming off the back of its hump. - If you get it in the outline, Virginia has a small peninsula off its main east coast, called the “Eastern Shore of Virginia”, which forms the tongue of the Delmarva Peninsula.
- The elongate part of Virginia is sharp like a knife, while that of Kentucky is pretty blunt and bumpy like a fist. So Kentucky do the grabbo, Virginia do the stabbo.
As if anyone outside those states could distinguish between unlabelled outlines of Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina.
Self-reporting, because this is shit we learn in like 3rd grade in the US and that adults should (albeit aren’t expected to) be able to do. NH and Vermont I could tell you but mainly because I reassemble their little 69 in my head as a memory aid. (A sane memory aid without needing to remember “big end bottom” or “big end top” is that NH’s small vertical end is super narrow compared to its large one.)
Whereas Wyoming and Colorado – presented separately in a void with no scale – I could only tell because Wyoming is nearly a perfect rectangle while Colorado is an isosceles trapezoid (just very slightly). That’s one you basically have to just memorize via a top/bottom relationship.
They grow stronger with each new anti-brain-cell.
I didn’t watch the second video, but assume it’s just: “Hey, let’s see if it’s any better now, since this is what I used last time, and it’s sold preinstalled on commercial hardware.” I don’t like Pop!, but I also think the people arguing he should be using something else – regarding a semi-popular, commercially-backed distro commonly advertised as noob-friendly – are hitting the copium too hard.
“But he wants to do gaming!” And I never had to install a special version of Windows because I wanted to do digital art. That’s not intentionally making Linux look bad; it’s just not going out of his way to doll it up like a burger in a fast food ad. Plenty of people will want to game but don’t treat it as their entire identity and therefore won’t be looking into “best linux gaming distro 2026 reddit”.
I liked JayzTwoCents’ video because he has an expert walk him through it and chooses Bazzite since he’s doing it specifically to evaluate gaming, not how good he is at using it. For a video where somebody is trying to assess the state of Linux for a normal user new to Linux, I don’t want an expert hovering over them the entire time, and within reason, I want them to pick what appeals to them.
I’m over here having a great time on Endeavour, but I got turned off of Linux for years after trying Ubuntu as a daily driver for several months and running into issues constantly. My actual Linux experience was eerily similar to Linus’ first video (it nuked my entire config twice), and I probably would’ve gone back to Ubuntu as a test if I were doing it for an audience and not for myself.
What happened on Pop! this time, by the way? COSMIC issues?
Insult me all you want, but you’re not going to pretend you were “just asking questions” when you used people with mental disabilities as a punchline.
You know what you meant.
