love have you checked the link? attraction to fat hairy men is a cornerstone of queer culture and history.
also when i said that comparing queer attraction to pedophilia is bad i wasn't saying the attraction was bad (it is, don't get me wrong), i was saying the comparison itself is bad.
if you have somehow managed to avoid the last half decade of politics– in which case tell me who your geosomnologist is cos i want some of that– the global right-wing has been calling LGBT folks groomers for a while now. so if you make such a comparison yourself not only are you signaling to us that you're one of them, you're also signaling it to them too.
i hope i don't need to explain why that's bad

a. eye of the beholder
b. beauty is not a default state of being*, it requires effort. How much effort of entirely up to you, if you like yourself with makeup (and yes this does go for men too) then use makeup, if you don't then don't bother. do you think you'd like longer hair? shorter? colored?
And if you think you're so uniquely ugly as to be utterly sure that nothing you can do will make you happy you may want to interrogate those feelings, there's probably more going on under the surface there.
* this does not mean that someone who is unwilling or unable to put that effort in is "ugly". this is about your perception of yourself. your perception of other is irrelevant unless asked for
i'm sure everyone can be normal about this post yes? ::: spoiler transcript: a tumblr post: autistichalsin posts: Some of you are literally watching the right wing continuously try to expand the definition of "pedophilia" to include "existing around a child while queer," and then agreeing with them when they say pedophiles deserve to be summarily executed. Not only does this place innocent people in danger of political executions, it also puts children in danger, as most children who are sexually abused have this done by someone close to them, and feelings that they would be responsible for the death of their abuser if they reported leads to lower rates of reporting. It also leads to higher rates of abusers murdering their victims when they're found out because the punishment will be the same anyway. Part of being on the left is realizing that it's better to let 100 guilty men go free than to wrongly convict one. Another part of being on the left is realizing that one's life is never something others have the right to take away- even the most evil people alive. Yes, that includes mass murderers and rapists and pedophiles. Once you make one group acceptable to kill, you give others a vested interest in defining groups they have prejudice against into that group. You have to start dealing with the fact that no crime makes one's life forfeit. Not even the worst most depraved and sadistic acts. The worst people alive have rights, and if you can't accept that they deserve them, at least try to accept that it is to your benefit that they retain rights no matter what they're accused of. And if you can't do even that, well... you just might be the kind of person who would cut off your nose to spite your face. If you want to protect victims, if you want to protect minority groups, you have to realize that sex crimes, or any crimes at all, do not deserve the death penalty. Period. brettdoesdiscourse replies: When a certain kind of person "deserves" to die, bigots will make sure marginalized groups all are that kind of person. little-gay-dowitcher replies: My former neighbors were the “kill all pedos” type. They were also incredibly transphobic. And I was visibly queer. So guess who got stalked, harassed and threatened all throughout the brief period of time they babysat for their friend? Stop enabling fascists. They’ve already proven they’re willing to attack minorities for no reason. Don’t give them a chance to excuse it. :::

They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night (oh)

journalctl doesn't seem to report any GPU specific errors. nvtop shows no oddities that i could find.
i found that dragging the preview image on the fps showcase videos in nvidea's 4060 page makes firefox lag out with a glib-CRITICAL logged to the console. it says
(firefox:4349): GLib-CRITICAL **: 12:40:07.460: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed
[Parent 4349, Main Thread] WARNING: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed: 'glib warning', file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187
dunno if that has to do with anything tho

doubt it's the same problem i'm having because the lag spikes only affect blender, the rest of the DE works fine
i've recently acquired a 4060 ti for €300 from a seller that i've been told was reliable. after installing the gpu and updating the drivers to the latest recommended ones i've noticed odd lag spikes lasting several seconds when using blender, these did not happen when i used my previous gtx 1060 ti. How can i go about diagnosing if it's a gpu or driver issue? any benchmarks or tools i should use? i'm on linux mint 21.3 cinnamon.

sounds nice but no i need those extensions
i use firefox with a lot of extensions, making the shortcut widget with the built-in add to home screen function won't work because it'll open the site with extensions disabled. i've managed to make it work better by making the shortcut with internet disabled which opens the link in the actual firefox app but that gives the shortcut app a generic icon which looks bad. i've searched around and there are apps that make shortcuts but no luck finding a foss one.
dunno how people will react to a 9/11 joke here, hopefully the it won't be too negative
::: spoiler Show transcript [Start of transcript] Screenshot of a tumblr post nyancrimew posts: remember .io games? that was 8 years ago therealkepler replies: nowadays the only people that use the .io domain are technology sites nyancrimew replies: ok so .io is a "fun" lesson in colonialism and technology, like all two letter top level domains (yes all of them) it's a country domain belonging to a country, io being the british indian oceans territory, an archipelago in the indian ocean. .io domains became so trendy because they're easily marketable to tech people (io can stand for input/output), it looks kinda cool and at the time domains with .io were highly available with not many websites being created on the islands. however .io is not like other small islands with highly wanted tlds such as .ai or .to, where the islands make millions off of domain sales and can rely on them as a big pillar of their economy. all profits from .io sales go to the UK, and despite a fight to get control over their tld the islands get nothing, not only did the native population get displaced in land deals and colonialism but their colonizer also heavily profits off of the territories sudden (indirect) trendyness with tech startups. don't buy .io domains, don't support the british empire.
