You just happened to stumble across the stupidest motherfucker alive. Probably alive. Those risky decisions don’t take themselves.

  • You can absolutely do that.

    But do be careful with kde-full if you’re running very old hardware. I’m talking about <4gb DDR3, CPUs from Obama’s first term etc.

    I’m not saying KDE’s “bloated”; I am still in absolute shock at how light it is compared to Windows.

    But if you are dealing with hardware that needs a daily lethal dose of donepezil, opt for kde-standard

    (Difficult lesson I learned)






  • I’ve been admitted twice

    At both facilities, other patients who required more ‘intensive care’ generally didn’t interact with the patients with more manageable symptoms. So I don’t have any really wild stories.

    At worst, I’d hear screaming in the middle of the night. I’m a heavy sleeper, so it probably happened a lot more than I noticed.

    I went in with the doctors knowing that I had a problem with illegal drugs (I admitted it), so I followed all the rules. (Possibly limiting my knowledge of any highly notable events)

    Another dude, a few years older than me, had that same pre-condition, except the doctors had to burn a few piss tests to figure that out.

    He knew where all the CCTV cameras and their blind spots were. Smuggled contraband and non-contraband via WhatsApp and fence-toss. Performed the role of “lookout” for patients seeking to indulge in intimate relations.

    Like I said, I followed the rules, but I didn’t snitch, because that shit was entertaining.

    Another patient was law enforcement. Let us know that officers who arrive to work drunk don’t really get into trouble because it’s so prevalent.

    One nurse smoked secretly (in a CCTV blindspot)

    That’s all I can recall for now.


  • I wanted to see my recommendations :{

    Not rooted, or flashing a custom ROM, so I can’t delete the play store.

    Also, my bank app wasn’t installing properly from Aurora. I don’t remember what the exact issue was, but it was too much of a hassle to figure out (or change banks)

    But that second profile idea is smart

    I should have done that




  • Come to think of it, I don’t hear about it as often as I probably should.

    Government officials, the news and people in other professional contexts call it Gqeberha, frequently struggling with the click sound, even when a “k” sound will suffice.

    Otherwise, I still hear people call it “P.E.”

    “Port Elizabeth” was still kind of a mouthful

    People I meet from the Eastern Cape just say they’re from “the Eastern Cape”, because unfortunately most people don’t know where Nxuba or Makhanda is.

    Hell, a lot of people think Gqeberha/P.E. is the capital city of the Eastern Cape. (Bhisho is the capital)


  • Seeing Cape Town Stadium get renamed to DHL Stadium pissed me off so hard

    This might sound silly, but going to that stadium, I felt an indescribable sense of community with everyone who showed up to support whatever artist/band/sports team was there . So many people, with a shared interest, in one place.

    Since I live further out of Cape Town, I rarely get to experience that.

    That piss yellow logo DHL logo everywhere ruined the experience so fucking much.

    KINDLY REMEMBER YOUR GLOBAL CORPORATE OVERLORDS WHO ARE NOT SORRY FOR KEEPING TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN THEY NEED TO BE. ALSO, FUCK YOU. REMEMBER TO GAMBLE.


  • That’s awful. I’m sorry the local resources available to you are horrific. I’m sorry I sound like a fucking robot. I’m treading lightly. I’m not an expert. I don’t know what you or people reading this may be going through.

    If the crisis line is going to send a psychopath with a gun to your home, do not ring that line.

    There are international resources available that don’t dispatch armed units to your exact location. I haven’t used any of them, so I can’t vouch for them.

    There is no one size fits all solution for a crisis. As I understand it, the main goal is just to get the person in crisis talking to another human being. Apparently that helps a lot.

    It doesn’t have to be a crisis line. It could just be someone who might care.

    Please go well, friend. I truly hope you have brighter days ahead.
