    Abortion should be mandatory.

    People keep arguing over whether abortion should be legal or not, but my opinion is that it should be forced on everyone whether they want it or not. Late term abortions up to 100 years after birth should also be considered for inclusion in this rule.

    One of my favourite activities is finding controversial opinions, then taking an opinion so extreme that it makes everyone else look like a centrist.

    I often send links to friends who probably don’t have a Lemmy account. Keeping everything visible to everyone would help me.

    If there is a reasonable concern about server resources/costs, then I would be willing to give up a little convenience.

    My partner has had to remind me many times that my disabilities are actually disabling. No matter how hard I try, I’ll never be able to the same tasks as a neurotypical person.

    Sometimes just slowing down and working within your limits can drastically improve your symptoms. I find that my symptoms are at their worst when I’m pushing myself too hard, and can go away almost completely if I’ve been resting properly for a few weeks. This is fairly rare because I still haven’t learnt to actually rest.

    I’m also seeking medication to help, but it could take a long time to get anything. I’m also prepared for the possibility that the medication isn’t the single solution to all my problems.

    I wish you the best in your endeavours. You’re not alone.

    I recommend dual booting Windows and Linux until you’re comfortable switching entirely. Sometimes you need to go back for just one task.

    Always back up your files before installing a new OS. Data loss is always possible during installation, and more likely if you don’t know what you’re doing.

    The Grub boot manager (included and installed by default with Linux Mint and some other distros) makes it easy to pick which OS to boot each time when turning the computer on.

    Check out Lutris for non-Steam Windows games. It uses Wine, but is a lot more user friendly to set up and use.
