  • Normal? What is normal in the first place?

    It is generally expected to stop once you hit puberty, and since that point there’s a general expectation that sleeping (literal meaning of the word) with someone else will be reserved to your partner.
    But why though? It’s not like people have need for physical contact just until they hit puberty, and obviously not all physical contact is sexual. It’s not weird to hug, and it’s also not like it has a time limit.

    Take this for example. Anything sexual between siblings is unnatural and not normal. Anything sexual between humans and animals is unnatural and not normal as well. But it is generally viewed as normal to sleep with your dog or a cat. What’s the difference? Why is such contact between different species normal, yet when it’s with the same specie, we arrive at this question.

    I guess it depends on what is “normal”.




  • Because for me Windows was not easier to use.

    I only got my first proper computer in 2020, and comparing Windows 10 with Linux Mint 20, I found the latter much simpler to use not having used either one prior. Just having to bounce between Control Panel and new Settings, plus a lot of tutorials shown magic with registries…
    Also, I had a lot of problems with uninstallers failing or not removing programs completely, and getting permissions to remove files directly was also pain in the ass, even as “Administrator”. That often resulted in me booting up live Linux DVD to remove crap programs from Windows.

    I gave it a try, but I didn’t like it. Perhaps I’d like MacOS though. It seems similar enough. But Windows just feels like 2 decades of hotfixes glued together.
