Egyptians worshiped cats. Now I have the image of Bast getting booped and becoming flustered in my head. 🤭

Haven’t seen anyone pissed about this yet, but in case someone appears, lest we forget Ani.Social’s issues with Lemmit.Online.

In recent years in Brazil, iirc around 2024, a lot of fires broke out to the point the smoke covered most of the country, and often reports would appear of people actively lighting folliage on fire. Some even theorized the government wasn’t going after those because they’d benefit from the damage. Maybe a similar possibility over in Europe?

A bad name!

There’s a local saying that goes like “the difference between a child and an adult is the price of the toys”. 🙂

Iirc, I set it up with this article from Proton: https://protonvpn.com/support/wireguard-configurations

Also maybe a niche case but since the source of your irritation is connection, I think it’s worth mentioning:

If you use a certain VPN whose widget is for Debian/Ubuntu only in this family of distros coughcoughprotoncoughcough, please take the time to learn how to use the WireGuard integration from the VPN instead. The widget version if installed on Mint is way too prone to breaking, being a matter of when, and not if it will break. And WireGuard instead I have yet to see breaking on its own.

I’d recommend Linux Mint Xfce. It’s the closest to an “it just works” situation while being open to tinker and quick to respond, this last part as the micro delays from Linux Mint Cinammon for most things being what pushed me away from Windows in the first place.

Both Mint versions are made by the same people and found in the same site.

Rule 2 though?

Rule 2?

If meds aren’t working, maybe tackling discipline would be worth trying? I’d imagine there are psychiatrists that focus on that instead of meds exclusively.

Anxiety may have many sources, and the way you write, it sounds like you’re not sure yourself what the source is for you, so I’d suggest looking for a psychiatrist.

And if for whichever reasons you cannot or will not take meds, maybe you could seek to train behavior and discipline instead? Or even, meds + training together, if you figure out why you’re concerned.

Maybe Gulliver?

Not an usual name for a cat afaik, and going by a movie I like, the 1930’s animation, to suggest.

Beeg, chonk, an absolute unit even. But not Gatze streicheln looking at its posture.

Alternatively, intentionally loosen the precautions, at least at first, seeing how the system ticks. Then, when things start getting unstable, make a new clean install of the system and do it all over again, but with the previous issues already in mind so you can avoid them.

Iirc there’s a saying that only those who fall know how to stand up. If you can afford the time investment, it’s a golden opportunity to learn.
