  • I think that, in the moment, online arguments can feel extremely real and heated. But, then you go out and do other things, and it becomes less and less important over time.

    Of course, then you come back and find a notification from one of those morons you’ve been arguing with, and then you’re right back in it. So I guess just practice? Like, just keep reminding yourself that it doesn’t actually matter, even if it feels like it does.

    Also, shrooms help. I remember I got into a heated snit with some idiot online an hour or so before eating a bunch of caps. Then, when I was trying to explain what the argument was about to one of my friends, I couldn’t finish because hearing myself explain it became apparent just how ridiculous the entire thing was. I think psychedelics just give you perspective that you’re lacking in your normal day-to-day life.

    It might be helpful to extrapolate this out into a higher number of doors. Say there are 10 doors instead of 3, with still just the one prize. So instead of a 33% chance of getting the right answer off the bat, you have a 10% chance.

    Now, after making your choice, Monty, being the good guy that he is, opens 8 of the doors that contain no prize, leaving only the door you picked, and one other closed door. Originally, your chance of getting the right door was 10%. However, that’s just because you didn’t know what was behind the other doors. Now, you know what was behind the other doors. Now, the number of doors that could contain the prize has shrunk from 10 to 2.

    The prize is definitely behind one of the 10 doors. It could be behind the one you picked at random at the start. But that only occurs 10% of the time. 90% of the time, it’s behind one of the other doors, and Monty has just shown you which of those doors it is by eliminating the other 8 possibilities. So 10% of the time, if you stick with your original choice, you’re going to get a prize. But 90% of the time, you won’t. So it’s way better to switch when given the opportunity.

    Does that make it any clearer?

    You know, it’s often hard to tell with guys like you whether you’re trolling, or actually genuinely stupid. Of course I took the boosters. I’m not a moron.

    So, out of curiosity, do you ever look at the reactions of normal people to your idiocy and think: “Gee… maybe I’m wrong about this thing that I’m completely fucking devoted to?”

    Damn. Dude creates an account, and doesn’t post or comment with it for 2 months. Then, he breaks that streak by posting possibly one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. What a fuckin’ legend.

    I’m guessing he’s wearing the Steven Crowder shirt, actually. It’s got that same picture of Che on it, with the same font. If that’s the case, the shirt’s full message says “Socialism is for f*gs”. The “is for f*gs” part is underneath Che’s face, and so is obscured in this image.

    I would normally link to that shirt, but fuck Steven Crowder. Not gonna be responsible for driving traffic to that shithead’s website.

    I actually have Fedora installed on my desktop, and Pop_OS installed on my laptop! I’ve always been a big fan of the RedHat way of doing things (Yum / DNF & RPMs, the fs organization, etc), but I’ve gotta say, I really prefer the Pop!_OS user experience when I’m in the GUI.

    As others have said, it probably doesn’t matter which one you use if your primary purpose is gaming. They’ll both run Steam’s proton engine just fine. If you’re looking for COD, specifically, you’re likely going to run into some issues; ProtonDB says that support for those games is not perfect. But a lot of games will work just as well on linux as they do on Windows with it.
