I landed on Mint because it's a simple no fuss distro that feels familiar to Windows refugees. I game on it just fine and use my computer for a lot of things so wanted something general. I bounced off Ubuntu because it has some decisions that are trying to protect you from actually learning Linux, which is a priority to me.

As a professional spreadsheet pusher, I can confidently say that LibreOffice (the Linux version of MS Office) has been able to do everything I needed that word/excel can, and then some.

But really any distro will be able to install the software you need, and it's easy to switch. Just try it and have fun.

How did it make you better at falling asleep? I'm not particularly interested in lucid dreaming but being able to fall asleep

Basically it tastes nice, then you develop a dependency on it.

The gender unicorn is a similar model that leaves room for gender identities entirely outside of the binary (albeit still simplistically)

That's definitely one of the problems with this graphic. Those are a part of "gender roles", stereotypical expectations of masculinity/femininity. Your impulse to consider them independent is correct, but you may encounter bigots with old fashioned ideas about what's appropriate for someone to get up to based on their gender.

It's called lucid dreaming. I've read that it can be trained.

Sounds legit. The monster was probably expecting you to run, and ready to punish it like an elden ring boss punishes dodging backwards.

But in all seriousness, like any theory out of evolutionary psychology it's of very questionable utility insofar as it is unfalsifiable. I just find it fun to think about and mentally give my brain a "you tried" sticker after a weird dream.

There's a theory that dreams serve as a sort of simulation mechanism for our brain to think through how to respond to various potential situations. It argues that is why natural disaster nightmares are so prevalent, and why our dreams are so weird (monkey brain does not understand modern society).

Anyways, good for them, I'm glad their brain figured out what to do about hypothetical McWeird.

Would it be a soulslike if the obvious surface reading wasn't wrong/missed the depth of the lore?

What's old.lemmy?

I would assume not. It works for me
