Holy shit man I actually do that. My DND group suggested it as a joke and I thought it would be funny to try on can but found out very quick it’s fucking fantastic. I’m so glad to know it’s a thing elsewhere

OK the tortilla chips idea is wild. I’m going with that this time instead of flower

You are a king

OK not sure how that’ll help but I’ve got it in my pipe now. Or should I go with rolling papers?

I like cayenne but come in man, at a point you’re just serving a moist bowl of powdered cayenne

Completely agree

I don’t think we do personally. I don’t love the gamification of social media and disagree with karma as a system of trust. I think visible karma is detrimental and has made upvoting more “I like this post and this person” rather than “I think more people should see this”

System76 is also a good option especially if you’re american. They have a broader option set too

On power management though I’m umsure if you’ll get the results you want. It’s hell on windows, hell on Linux, and only within the past few years improved on Mac.

You may find better suspend on a laptop made for Linux though but I don’t want to get your hopes up too greatly.

Other options for good laptops though are starlabs and tuxedo computers. On tuxedo make sure you get the right language and layout for your country

On framework I can personally vouch for them. I have had great experiences with the 13 and there’s a dedicated community happy to help on their forum. Friendly people.

As for slimbook friends of mine who have them have had good experiances too

I think this stands. This isn’t asking for support or usage but the philosophy of not making karma visible. This community may not be all about lemmy but I’d argue it fits

Holy shit man what the fuck are you on about.

If somebody jacks off to the thought of a child they are a pedophile. Yes.

The cartoon has a childs proportions. It has a childs body. The creator has defined it as a child. You are unironically doing the “it’s a thousand year old dragon” shit.

You are a danger to the kids you claim to have. Do you jack off to the thought of their naked bodies? Do you think that would be ok to do? If you do nothing to harm them directly by your own reasoning it would be ok right?

No. That is abhorent. Please get professional help

I would agree if we see some meta-analysis suggesting this but the evidence is small towards the effect. The studies you state in other comments are inconclusive, are not the majority, and only show mild effects. This is not scientific fact yet and all evidence shows a mild effect at best.

Even if it did though they are still a pedophile. They are masturbating to child porn. We should not accept that as a positive thing and we should not support people who make child porn. These are the people who need to seek help most. If part of that help is jacking it to drawn child porn so be it but be it so under the care of a professional.

The fact that one doesn’t offend only stops one from being a monster. A child molester, or child rapist. A pedophile is still immoral.

My issue is that child porn is inherently wrong. It is a fundamental negative whether drawn or generated. Some things are not about material harm they are about base morality. Sexualizing children is a fundamental wrong.

If the only thing stopping you from raping, molesting, or otherwise harming a child is drawn child porn you are not a good person. That is terrifying, and disgusting.

Lastly, our brains are neuroplastic. Anyone can develop a fetish through constant exposure to something in a positive sexual setting. Something may disgust you, say poop, but if you jack off to the thought long enough you will develop a fetish. This, unlike the claim that drawn child porn is helpful, is well known. Harm to children or not this creates more pedophiles. People who think of children in a sexual manner

I shouldn’t need to define child porn but here’s a definition:
Sexually gratifying content involving the sexualization of children.

This fictional child is a child. Porn of that child is child porn. Drawn, generated, or any other way this is child porn.

I’ve heard the “it’s just pixels” argument before and can’t accept that. If we can recognize that the pixels are pornographic, that they represent the character lucy, and that lucy is a child we can agree that this is porn of a child. Child porn.

How does this not match the term “child porn”.

It is drawn porn of a child

The “kink” you are picking is drawn child porn. I don’t care if nobody was directly hurt by your consumption of drawn child porn you are consuming child porn. You are a pedophile. Somebody attracted to children sexually.

I don’t care if studies showing pedophiles who watch drawn child porn aren’t likely to offend. They are pedophiles. I know it’s a wild thing to state but I don’t like pedophiles. The debate on legality due to harm reduction is another thing all-together but at no point did I bring that up. I only asked that we not support or make AI porn of fictional children.

Your support of a subset of child porn, particularly AI and drawn is noted though. Thank you for stating as much.

That mascot is a child. Please don’t make porn of fictional children even if you disagree with the politics or religion of that fictional child you’re making porn out of. Child porn is a bad thing

Nice

Of course there’s the suggestion of installing KDE plasma on PopOS! Which will work quite well but to give some info on the others:

KDE neon is mostly for devs and is less well maintained than other distros. Still definitly not a bad choice.

Tumbleweed stronk. Definitly out of what you say my preference though yes, it’s not deb based. You should be able to get what you want though through the app store and the open build service. Really it’s discouraged to find random .debs online and install but OpenSUSE runs on .rpm which are fairly commom.

Kubuntu is also good. Last time I checked it’s a bit slower moving than pop but that’s not inherently bad. Definitly a great “It-just-works” distro. Some people, myself included, dislike snaps which are built in but if you don’t know what they are I doubt you’ll care. Most of the hate is overblown.

I’d caution against endeavor as it’s arch based. It’ll demand more from you, stuff will definitly not just work all the time,and if an issue arises it’ll be the first to catch it. Like the grub rescue error that showed up about a year or so ago.

Don’t use Manjaro. The devs are incompetent and destructive to the ecosystem.

Debian is also chill. There’s always unstable (can’t remember the current name. Debian Trixie?) For something that’s more up to date

Last thing no matter what distro, just like an exe, a .deb is just an archival format like .zip and can be taken apart to be manually installed. I understand not wanting to do this though lol and it’s not always that simple

He also separately hired a convicted pedophile and hid his name and face for years calling them “Dallas” while allowing him near children

If done right no, there’s no reason other than noise, size, and power usage. It also might pick up small things which could impact the components if the fans are strong. At worst it may push them out of place. That last two are pretty unlikely though.

It my be hard to ensure airflow as small pockets of a may form due to turblance that can’t exit the system however.

All in all though there’s no reason why a big ass fan couldn’t work and if airflow to the heat generating components is right it would be better at cooling
