as much as the T480 is a nice laptop and far better than any similar-spec consumer crap, it definitely did teach me just how overrated thinkpads are

hard to really explain the particular exhaustion of, every day, seeing a band who did a song you like or an actor in a film that’s important to you go on the record with some news outlet saying that you deserve to die or be made into a second class citizen because you’re trans

A wonderful discovery I made today: calling generic hook-and-loop fasteners "velcro" has diluted the actual Velcro company's brand so much their legal team had to make a gospel song to beg you not to do this.
I promise you this will only encourage me.

1. A new study claims trans care worsens mental health. It is fatally flawed.
It didn't measure mental health—it measured psych visits.
Even visits that stemmed from mandatory checkins, surgical pre-psych evals, or pre-treatment that was classified as post.

oh wait i guess i do have the janktop aka PCM002 'unyu' aka the lenovo-brand space heater known as a T480
so i could at least like, binge-read the entirety of some MSPFA or something tomorrow, that thing uses like, idk, 20-50W?
unlike my desktop where just the GPU is drawing 32W at near-zero load

well adding a new partition worked but crashed the game when it tried to actually access it
which does mean it's probably just the game distinguishing between local and external references internally and not liking replacing a local one with an external one
