"kill them with kindness" wrong. bone construct

“kill them with kindness” wrong. two handed sword

"kill them with kindness" wrong. attack soup

“kill them with kindness” wrong. explode yourself

I can't think of a non-pretentious way to say this but I think one of the best things you can do for yourself is to cultivate an eye for the beauty of mundane places and objects. the glow of a traffic light or a neon sign, and how it fades at the edges. the shape of cracks in the pavement. the typography on a speed limit sign, the way every model of car has a slightly different grill. fabric fluttering in the wind. it makes things feel a lot less dreadful if you can just look out at the world and find something to love about almost everything around you, even the things you don't particularly like outside of their aesthetics.

This is one of your worst posts yet man

You called me dirt sucking poor and told me my carrot looks like a cock

Every time I see those posts about someone dating an autistic girl it goes "yeah I met this cute girl but then she started showing she had very intense and esoteric interests that I didn't understand" first of all what the fuck did you expect and also doesn't that put you at ease? I'd feel better about my own intense and esoteric interests

Outta my way neurotypicals we're gonna go look at Klingon bat'leths on etsy together

If a girl shows you she's fucking weird and you don't fall in love right then and there I think you're the one with the issue bro

dum dum

If you haven’t watched Revolutionary Girl Utena for free on Nozomi Entertainment’s youtube yet I suggest doing that before Crunchyroll takes it down and paywalls it on their shitty site that barely works

the op of that "you should restart your computer every few days" post blocked me so i'm going to perform the full hater move of writing my own post to explain why he's wrong

why should you listen to me: took operating system design and a "how to go from transistors to a pipelined CPU" class in college, i have several servers (one physical, four virtual) that i maintain, i use nixos which is the linux distribution for people who are even bigger fucking nerds about computers than the typical linux user. i also ran this past the other people i know that are similarly tech competent and they also agreed OP is wrong (haven't run this post by them but nothing i say here is controversial).

anyway the tl;dr here is:

you don't need to shut down or restart your computer unless something is wrong or you need to install updates

i think this misconception that restarting is necessary comes from the fact that restarting often fixes problems, and so people think that the problems are because of the not restarting. this is, generally, not true. in most cases there's some specific program (or part of the operating system) that's gotten into a bad state, and restarting that one program would fix it. but restarting is easier since you don't have to identify specifically what's gone wrong. the most common problem i can think of that wouldn't fall under this category is your graphics card drivers fucking up; that's not something you can easily reinitialize without restarting the entire OS.

this isn't saying that restarting is a bad step; if you don't want to bother trying to figure out the problem, it's not a bad first go. personally, if something goes wrong i like to try to solve it without a restart, but i also know way, way more about computers than most people.

as more evidence to point to this, i would point out that servers are typically not restarted unless there's a specific need. this is not because they run special operating systems or have special parts; people can and do run servers using commodity consumer hardware, and while linux is much more common in the server world, it doesn't have any special features to make it more capable of long operation. my server with the longest uptime is 9 months, and i'd have one with even more uptime than that if i hadn't fucked it up so bad two months ago i had to restore from a full disk backup. the laptop i'm typing this on has about a month of uptime (including time spent in sleep mode). i've had servers with uptimes measuring in years.

there's also a lot of people that think that the parts being at an elevated temperature just from running is harmful. this is also, in general, not true. i'd be worried about running it at 100% full blast CPU/GPU for months on end, but nobody reading this post is doing that.

the other reason i see a lot is energy use. the typical energy use of a computer not doing anything is like... 20-30 watts. this is about two or three lightbulbs worth. that's not nothing, but it's not a lot to be concerned over. in terms of monetary cost, that's maybe $10 on your power bill. if it's in sleep mode it's even less, and if it's in full-blown hibernation mode it's literally zero.

there are also people in the replies to that post giving reasons. all of them are false.

• temporary files generally don't use enough disk space to be worth worrying about
• programs that leak memory return it all to the OS when they're closed, so it's enough to just close the program itself. and the OS generally doesn't leak memory.
• 'clearing your RAM' is not a thing you need to do. neither is resetting your registry values.
• your computer can absolutely use disk space from deleted files without a restart. i've taken a server that was almost completely full, deleted a bunch of unnecessary files, and it continued fine without a restart.
