Jolene as covered by Jack White. Dolly Parton singing it is also great, but to me it comes off as just another country song about infidelity. When Jack White covers it, it seems to take on a whole other perspective, but I guess that also depends on the listener too and what they project onto it.

I like that one of the meanings is also to pick up ideas like a bee picks up pollen. We have the power to make this an English word too. We can just start using it. I’m not doomscrolling anymore, I’m butining memes and trivia.

Also, has anyone ever been in a friendly feeding (far from a hive) swarm of bees constantly and curiosly head butting you without getting stung? Just got to be careful they don’t get caught in your hair and panic. Just saying that getting a bunch of little bee high fives as you meander through a field is special kind of feeling.

By spending more on the military and the police than we do on education, science, and journalism.

Wikipedia still isn’t a reliable source. It is a compendium of reliable sources that one can use to get an overview of a subject. This is also what these chatbots should be, but they rarely cite their sources and most people don’t bother to verify anyway.

Yes, I read your comment. It’s okay if you didn’t understand my comment. Clearly you don’t understand how filesystems and drive mounting works under Linux or the role of desktop environments in managing filesystems, mounting, and permissions. I don’t doubt that you’re genuinely struggling here, but there is no call for that kind of hostility. You might have some hope for figuring it out if you open your mind to the fact that you don’t fully understand what your problem is.

Steam expects the games to be in a particular place with a particular set of permissions and ownership relative to the user(s) and/or group(s) expected to use those game files. I’m telling that Linux doesn’t care where those files physically reside. You can tell Steam that those files are exactly where Steam expects them to be at the filesystem level, without messing with Steam configs, nautilus, gnome, or KDE. There are several ways to do this, but without understanding the requirements of your machine no one here will be able to give you effective advice.

I’ve seen some other comments from you about running something or other as root or just blanket chmods to 777 and I can tell you from experience that those are rarely effective solutions and can sometimes make things worse (just try something like that when configuring ssh configs, keys, and permissions).

When I buy a gal flowers, she usually just sets them out in a pretty vase, but she’s welcome to just graze on them if she chooses. I don’t judge. Orchids are pretty bland in my opinion, but nasturtiums have a nice peppery bite that goes well with salad.

What does any of this have to do with KDE, Gnome, or nautilus? If symlinks aren’t working, I’d dedicate an entire drive to Steam by mounting that drive (with matching permissions) right where Steam expects to find them. You can mount a filesystem/disc/ISO/drive/network share practically anywhere you want. If your network is fast enough, I bet you could even access your games over NFS, though I wouldn’t recommend it.

I’m lost. She’s beautiful is in both, and so is he. Where is the part I’m supposed to be angry about? Boobs. Huzzah!

My favorite is to stuff dates with blue cheese and bacon. So much sweet, rich, fatty, salty, and umami that it is almost unbearable. But, it’s also kind of like chewing on the toes of a fresh mummy if blue cheese isn’t your thing.

This reads like an LLM with a large vocabulary failing to understand the actual context of the conversation. Lots of big words hurled with reckless abandon, lacking any real meaning and having little to do with the actual point.

You are wildly misinformed about how language works.

Pachelbel’s Canon is probably the most widely familiar forgotten song/melody that nearly everyone alive today has probably heard in some form, most without ever realizing it.

Science is just applied philosophy anyway.

When I call a fern (or wolf, crab, crow, whale, shark), at that level of syntactical broadly used common word I’m mostly talking about the phenotype, not the genotype. If someone was saying something about a specific fern, then we can argue against those romantic idea of deep time, a little. I mean, we’re probably all descendants of some ancient panspermia event anyway if you want to feel some connection to the ancient forgotten past.

Yes. I’m assuming your just some dude and not a telecom with teams of lawyers.

That’s not what pedantry means.

The effects of subatomic particles, even high speed ones, are apparent even if you are unaware of the cause.

No, I didn’t. We can perceive electrons in various ways.

Explain to us how we don’t interact with electrons in everyday life.

Despectacled.

Nancy Reagan just laughs at this take.

I was under the impression that one replaced the other. I guess I was lied to.
