Hmm. You just had me thinking if that’s true or not. I think money is an interesting thing. Inherently, it has no value, it’s not rare, it’s not useful. It is only useful because we as a society believe that it now has value. But that’s more of a “we all decided that money is now worth something.” Like… a question of definition.

Another is safety. A society that believes they’re safe will probably have a lot less tension and infighting than a society that believes they’re unsafe.

On the other hand, you might erroneously believe that a bike helmet makes you much safer in traffic, to the point where you may ride more recklessly than otherwise and therefore be less safe than if you hadn’t worn a helmet…

Had to double check when I read this. Zoomed in super close, and the second to last panel actually has a veeery faint outline of a new path

I’m gonna say FunnyJunk. It’s mostly right wing memes and downvotes if you say anything close to “I don’t think this Trump gut has it all figured out”

A Norwegian newspaper got to see his letter of denial and it didn’t list drug use at all. Rather they said he tried to enter the country to get a job illegally.

At this point, CBP’s story keeps changing, and I don’t trust anything they say.

There are a scant few people who deserve to be bullied for their actions of hurting others. Mikayla was NOT one of them. How someone can bully someone who is doing their best to help make the world better… I can never understand.

I saw people saying that she made a lot of mistakes that could have been avoided, and while that may be, at least she did something about it, unlike so many others.

**I appreciate the help immensely. ** First thing I needed to do was figure out how to get grub to show, and to do that, I changed a file in /etc/default/grub to have the menu style be “menu” instead of “hidden”.

Second I tried adding the nvidia_drm.fbdev=0, but it would boot directly into the default version of Mint (x11). I then had to disable auto-login in the lightdm.conf found in /etc/lightdm/

After that, I finally booted into Wayland again after adding the temporary parameters and… I get a black screen again, sadly. At least the TTY works so I can get out, no problem.

I did a bunch more tinkering that I found online, but after a lot of trying and failing and trying and failing, I went back to x11, only to realize that the driver manager was well and truly messed up. Could not get it to start at all. Ended up feeling pretty happy I took a snapshot of the system before I started all this, cause I could just rollback everything and now it works like before. (Still no wayland though, but whatever :P )

I am a teacher by trade, so I absolutely love helping others. I’ll absolutely pass it forward! This is also how you build a healthy community, I think :D

Alright, I’ve managed to open the TTY when trying to boot into Mint(wayland). You were right! It’s probably an issue with my nvidia drivers. I’ll see what I can do. Thanks

Interesting. I’ll see if I can figure something out.

Answering your question, it booted to a black screen. The screen was “on”, it wasn’t complaining about not recognising a signal or anything, so SOMETHING must’ve transmitted. I’ll try spamming some keys to see if I get a reaction. Thanks for the tip

Oooh! I see, thank you!

Yesterday, I tried booting into Wayland on Linux Mint, and I got NOTHING.

I rebooted and got nothing again. I tried the Ctrl+alt+F(x) key combo, but that didn’t work either. From your explanation, it sounds like I should’ve been able to at least get a terminal for that, but it didn’t seem to work. Could that be because graphically, it WAS displaying something after all?

Ended up unplugging the screens from the GPU and tried plugging it straight into the mobo instead, and it ended up working after all.

Forgive my dumb ass for asking an easily googleable question;

What is tty?

Cool! That’s a thing? US stores only, or internationally as well?

You know what? Great response

Just say it’s because he got bruised from the punch. He can’t read the speech bubble, can he?

I think that’s entirely fair.

I do wonder how much of that money has gone to the developers themselves, and not just some executive

Rambling post incoming:

I love the series, but man am I frustrated by it.

I love when they try to tell a story. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow is simple, but effective.

The others just build on this, but the best team is still Team Rocket to me. Actual gangsters instead of maniacal, delusional gits who want to end the world… It’s too much.

Team Skull are wonderful as well.

Black and white had a great story and I really, really like Bianca’s journey in that game. She’s not very good at what she does, but she’s compassionate. A little sheltered too. Her dad is always asking her to come back home because he doesn’t believe in her, and with failure after failure almost goes along with it and gives up. I love that she doesn’t.

I also like the villain speech here that Pokémon don’t like being used for fighting, but I really believe that it could’ve been better if they didn’t undermine their own point by fighting with pokemon. I mean, I get that the main dude, Ghetsis was just bluffing, but everyone else believed it, so why didn’t they choose non -violence?

After the series went 3D, I’ve disliked it. I liked X and Y, but I felt like it was a little too light on new stuff. Only 60ish new pokemon feels a bit low. There’s a good game there somewhere, but… It’s not where I want it to be.

Sun and moon was the same. Love the new ideas, but it’s getting bogged down a smidge by performance and repetition.

Sword and Shield definitely has great things going for it with vibes, but lacks substance. No caves, no dungeons, just a led-by-the-hand tour.

The DLC was a smidge better, but even then a little lacking.

Scarlet/Violet barely holds together. It’s ugly as sin, its level progression is whack and the open world does it NO FAVORS! All I want is for pokemon to seem like actual animals in the wild. I wanna see them interact with each other, but they NEVER DO.

Legends Arceus was also the same here, though I like the battle mechanics here. It feels unfinished and while pokemon in your party can interact, the world itself feels… Lacking.

My favorite game in the pokemon series (including spinoffs) would be pokemon mystery dungeon for the story, and Pokemon Snap for the interaction.

Core series would be either Black and White or Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Those games really spoiled us

Holy shit, that hit the spot. The bag fucking up at the end is just the cherry on top. Chef’s kiss!

Every little thing just gives a small “…eghhhhh…” Feeling

Earthbound or Mystery Dungeon text box?
