My church has this event called Youth Conference where teenagers go to another city for a few days for a conference. One year, a brother and I went to one. There were booths with a bunch of gospel games, food and drinks, and prizes. We were all given tickets to use. My brother and I looked at each other, combined our tickets, and went to grab a few prizes and some food and drinks. The adults were trying to convince us to go play the gospel games but we ignored them. When the event ended and the true purpose was revealed, everyone in the room turned and looked at us.

For the rest of the conference, people kept coming up to us and saying how funny they found what my brother and I had done. When they came to my town the next year, they told me about how they still laugh about it up there.

I like to think that I am quite skilled at detecting this type of issue. Now that I think about it, this might be related to my pun skills. Being able to decipher more than one meaning is critical for doing both.

I have not tried Linux Mint though I have been thinking about it for a long time. My best bet is to make the experience so close that she doesn’t have to do anything different. She’s a bit burned out on all my tinkering.

I find myself unable to explain it. I had it earlier but I am tired and frustrated and not thinking clearly. And if I am unable to explain it then it doesn’t really matter.

She knows Windows. I have thought of asking again but Linux isn’t exactly known for user friendliness, no matter the distro and WM.

I agree with using FOSS when feasible.

I don’t disagree with you. It’s just that it’s not black and white. Your boss says no, you don’t try to go around. My wife says that she will only use Windows, yes dear. I use Debian, Raspbian, Windows 10, and Windows 11. Windows 10 feels the most comfortable and has the best compatibility. But yeah, I’m not a fanboi.

Or I can determine multiple interpretations. I’m a master at puns and that takes the ability to detect alternative meanings or phrasing and how they can relate to each one. “If you’re not patient you might become one.”

Even if they are backtracking with egg on their face

Your comment can be read in more than one way.

I’m not sure how it could be a bug but I notice a lot of complaining(1) and calls to move to KeePass. It reminds me of the complaining(1) about Windows and how everyone should move to Linux. Lemmy was itching to torch BitWarden. We seem to have a mob mentality, with little ability to consider possible explanations and multiple factors.

1. I’m tempted to put bitching.

Are they backtracking when they have stated that it’s a bug?

Profanity is meant for very strong negative emotion. Using it casually robs it of most of its value.
