    Okay so genuine question from someone who’s used various distros for all sorts of things over the years, just never as a daily driver. What sorts of things have caused your revulsion towards Windows? Aside from Microsoft’s bullcrap like Alexa or MS Store ads which can all be disabled, I’ve personally never had enough of a problem with Windows that justified the effort required to move away from it. And I would consider myself a power user who loves to customize things.

    Again, I just want to genuinely understand what sorts of problems people have that cause them to hate using Windows that much, even if they’re just subjective things.

    You failed to include a very relevant part of information in your post: your own gender. I don’t know if you omitted it on purpose, or out of obliviousness, but going on the assumption that you’re a man due to your language towards women:

    Did it not occur to you that a male patient could actually be acting more aggressively towards your female coworkers? That he would be less cooperative towards those “damn nagging women” than towards a man? And that the standards of what makes a male patient scary could be completely different from the perspective of a woman?

    Men experience the world very differently from women, particularly when it comes to social interactions. Just because YOU haven’t had too much of a problem with this patient doesn’t mean that your female coworkers have experienced the same thing.












  • I feel like it’s worth noting that the baking soda + lemon juice probably doesn’t work as well as just lemon juice alone. By mixing an acid and a base, you’re neutralizing one of them and leaving yourself with just a smaller concentration of the other.

    I see this misconception all the time, but it’s particularly bad when people say to mix baking soda and vinegar to clean with. We’ve all made baking soda volcanoes, right…? I wouldn’t wanna clean with something that behaves like diet coke and mentos, not to mention the fact that it’s literally just not as effective as either chemical alone.
