Well, at least next year you’ll meet a dental hygenist with a spatula tattooed on her arm

Being able to make notes about users like you can on Mastodon.

Check Caitlin Doughty’s “Ask A Mortician” videos, in addition to some of the other suggestions.

NVIDIA

Welp, there’s your problem. I have an NVIDIA card as well and it’s been the source of at least 95% of my Linux headaches.

I’ve tried a few distros and Linux Mint was definitely the most “just works” for me. Make sure you’re using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, regardless of what option you choose. Currently I use SpiralLinux (Debian with a few tweaks) because I really like the BTRFS snapshots and fell in love with KDE during my distro-hopping, but Mint is what I would recommend to the vast majority of people.

Eight, but this account is only a couple weeks old.

Game no one’s mentioned yet: Look Outside

I didn’t but I knew a guy who did.

Seconding (or third-ing, or twelfth-ing) the recommendation for Linux Mint, but also gonna throw one in for MX Linux if the hardware is older.

Also: you might like Caitlin Doughty/Ask A Mortician’s videos and/or books. A lot of discussion about different cultures’ approaches to death and how people’s attitudes have evolved over time.

I’ve been pondering this myself. We had to have one of my cats (the one in my profile pic) put down last month, and we got a fur clipping, as well as her ashes. I’d like a piece of memorial jewelry or glass and I’m finding I’m OK with stuff that includes the fur, but not OK with cremation jewelry/cremation glass, and I don’t really know how to articulate why. I think part of it is that fur and hair are shed throughout a lifetime anyway, but dividing up someone’s bones or ashes almost feels like commodification to me.

(To be clear: I’m not judging other people who do this with their loved ones’ remains, be they human or animal; this is just, like, my opinion, man.)

It’s considered taboo according to some religions, but there’s not really any practical or medical reasons, other than the ones already mentioned.

Ianthe from The Locked Tomb. She grated on me at first but somewhere into the second book I was just delighted at her terribleness.

Like others have said, you didn’t do anything wrong. Maybe say a prayer or light a candle for the person and their family if you’re the praying type, but otherwise, don’t worry about it too much.

“Should you” as in “is it morally/ethically wrong?” No, it’s not. “Should you” as in “is it a good idea?” No, it’s a terrible idea. And I think you know that on some level.

Undertale is on the top of my list as well

I do the cooking. It’s not like my wife is incapable, she’s just the breadwinner and it’s more fair for me to do most of the house stuff.
