The pubbers are baseless as all hell now--what makes you think I'm one of em homeboy?

Frustration is a natural part of learning; ignorance is bliss

Are you familiar with 'jouissance'?

The drive continues past satisfaction into compulsion.

Pleasure is mixed with pain, shame, or guilt during/after the act.

It’s symbolic. Eating can act like a shortcut for dealing with other feelings or wants — it fills a need that words or thinking don’t fix.

you don’t believe in any of the supernatural stuff

Correct. It feels beyond a little silly to pretend there is any kind of entity in control or overlooking the unfolding of events that is reality or what we mean by reality. I will admit, the 'god in process' theories are fun and maybe insightful to some degree but nothing worth putting faith in just yet.

are just about the better teachings of Jesus? Aka a Jefferson bible take?

I've heard of this, but I just now researched it. Seems interesting, but it is certainly not what I'm speaking to at all afaict

Wait is this really not shopped?
This look like the Michael Jackson lean?!?😳

I'm confused. I also have many hobbies. That's what compile time is for--big compiles are started just before bed time. Gentoo stays out of your way and gives you more freedom. I concede that I may just be lucky at not having any useflag issues in many years. But I also learned a lot from the first few I stumbled into. It's this quality of learning I can't find in any other distro.

I love all non-windows OS tho

The beauty is that you never fully install the Gentoo you want. It's about the journey and the friends we make along the way, not the destination.

What are we supposed to believe will save the world now?
