Thats the catch 22 of America, its “good” except when its not, and like 60% of Americans are one missed paycheck away from it being “not” - And once you’re there this country hates you and does everything it can to make sure you stay fucked.
See: SCOTUS ruling the other day that you can’t illegalize homelessness but you CAN illegalize homeless behaviors like sleeping outside or in a tent.
(Because since pot is increasingly legal we have to bolster those legal slavery numbers somehow!)
There are days I just want Terry Crews to run as Camacho. Don’t know where he stands on shit but he can physically crush an opposing world leader and that seems like a start.
No, this is Patrick.
Oh is s2 up? Oh shit
The epitaph on your plaque will say, “Here’s the result of your hopes”
Is it actually? I always assumed orbits were all over the place and our 2d renders are similar to why paper maps are all fucky - just the easiest way to deal with 3d in 2d space.
I actually never watched ds9, but LOVED voyager. I hated Enterprise and could never get into it. I think all this new Trek happening is killer though!
I’m not familiar enough with Ensiferum to have an opinion, but I agree with you on Korpiklaani. They’re still good, but the old lack of polish adds something to the sound 100%.
Sure, and all of that should be tended to, but it doesn’t make massive delays an absolute or change that driving can be just as unreliable but gets this mental loophole even though people bitch about it constantly.
My city had Amtrak back in the 70s or something and it came back a few years ago. The common thread I see around here is “I caught an hour delay one time so never again!”
Never mind that they get held up for hours every other time they travel on the highway, that’s just part of it, I guess? Enjoy sitting there burning gas I’ll just take a nap 🤷
H2Oh no you didn’t!
Who would I have a screenshot from an account I had for like 2 weeks, what, two years ago now?
I get it, you’re being disingenuous and want to argue that its only Nazi if its from the Nazi region of Germany, otherwise it’s just sparkling fascism which is actually A-OK or that “um, ackhthually, nobody supports Nazis on the internet.”
Either way, you go dig through two years of mod logs or wtfever. Have fun.
And I provided such evidence to the admin, who then banned me.
I originally joined up to .world and offered to mod a few communities, cause whatevs I got free time. I saw a fellow mod outright nazi-ing about ( not “saying things I disagree with” but actual nazi fanboy-ing) so asked instance admin if he could be removed as a mod from said community we shared. It was a polite message, and I wasn’t gonna harp or bitch about it either way but I figured if he wasn’t removed I’d just leave (no way that’s not coming to a head sooner or later, yknow?) I was immediately banned from the entire instance without even a message or anything about it. Just outright immediately banned.
Sure, if that’s how hard you’re going to bat for nazis I don’t want to be here anyway. Shrug
Don’t let anybody tell you you can’t consume or not consume whatever content you feel like. Theres an uptick in this weird attitude of “you’re an asshole/fascist/whatever trying to cancel everyone” if you decide to stop watching someone or buying a product. Its bullshit, you don’t owe anybody jack.
You’re one person. Either you bailing won’t matter, or a bunch of people bail and they learn their lesson. Either way you don’t have to put up with a damn thing you don’t want to. 🤷
Linux is plenty ready for “most users.” I recently saw a meme that applies here, about experts/enthusiasts overestimating the “average normie” in their field even when they’re trying to account for most people not being on their level.
GPU Drivers, app stores
“Most users” scroll Facebook or Twitter and watch Netflix. Distro comes with firefox? GG. 🤷♂️ While I don’t think its widespread (and hope lol,) ever since the Facebook app integrated a web browser there are people (usually younger iirc) who think Facebook IS the internet. Loads of people almost wouldn’t notice if you switched their os overnight, if they have a desktop/laptop at all.
As for people looking to change to Linux due to MS business decisions, let’s be real - they’re by and large already techies. Its also not the 90s anymore, there are resources abound and SOOOO many users to have your problem before you do.
Personal nitpick for me, nothing to do with OP but the overall sentiment - Using the terminal is NOT THAT BALL CRUSHINGLY HARD as people still make it out to be, certainly not for stuff you may need it for in modern times. I have fedora, I need spotify. “sudo dnf install Spotify” “y” ta da. Certainly not an adventure, IMO.
EDIT: I’m thinking alot of you haven’t used Linux in a long time. I’ve run into an issue before, but people run into issues with windows too and nobody is screeching about that. 🤷♂️ Some of you just straight didn’t read my comment. 🤣
Oh nobody likes the healthcare system except the people profiting from it and the people who think billionaires will love them and share if they sing their praises enough.
