Yeah! And OP didn’t even mention the disappearance of Roanoke or carcinization!

… Those don’t have anything to do with the post either, but I, too, want get in on the bipolar schizophrenic nonsense criticism game.

That’s why they filter directly into spam.

Wait, wait, wait…

A company screws up and ruins itself, and the government concerns itself with the PEOPLE who will be screwed by the irresponsible actions of an unaccountable company, instead of socializing the company’s losses and leaving the tenants to fend for themselves?

I never thought I’d live to see it happen.

Chaotic Evil Voice in my Head: “Yell out ‘Look, it’s Seven of Nine!’”

Choose one at random from those with easy installation. Use it for a week. If you like it, stick with it. If it’s frustrating as heck, try another distro. Your skills picked up from the first one will very likely transfer over. As you narrow down your experience with what’s frustrating you, you can pinpoint what things you like and which you don’t and settle on the perfect distro for you.

There is absolutely NO way to know that before you get your hands dirty and see what these options are and their quirks.

Ditto. Also a gamer on Linux Mint and never once had a problem.

I still have a headhunting agency who refers to me as “B42857”. Apparently some bug is getting emails to me addressed to their internal reference number.

This is one of the reasons I really like the lore dive in the Knights of the Old Republic game.

You get down into the deep Sith philosophy, and yes, Sith evil, but there actually IS a deep ideology behind it where you can understand what they’re going for besides cartoonish evil for evil’s sake. An unrelatable and vile ideology, but an ideology nonetheless.

Because he won. This is all over with. This is an enemy he’s already defeated, and he’s not UPSET, he’s HAPPY to see his beaten enemy lamenting about how he’s been beaten. He’s THRILLED about this.

Was Trump culpable? Absolutely. 100%. And he should be in prison. But the useless asshats did absolutely nothing for four years, probably because they were afraid of making him a martyr, and now it’s simply impossible that he can ever be held criminally accountable for anything again. Regardless of what happens from here on out, that stain is on them.

It took them a couple decades. 2006. The iPhone made it easy for normal people to use. That was the beginning of the end.

The real vibe of the 90s wasn’t some idea of perfection - there were still injustices and problems everywhere - it was that most people believed and saw evidence that every part of life was getting BETTER. When you saw a problem or injustice, you could actually believe, with good evidence, that that problem was only a couple decades away from being dealt with and gone. The faith that human ingenuity was supreme and we were all more or less on the same “ever upward” trajectory was incredible. We’re probably centuries away from anything like that again, and it’s devastating.

You paid absolutely ZERO attention to the comment Ach made.

Your situation today is NOT guaranteed to be your situation tomorrow. You can afford kids today and get hit by a bus tomorrow, and now you can’t. Don’t pretend to be so thick you don’t understand how circumstances can change beyond one’s control.

Ooh! Can we get the deflation too??

HR: Unrealistic dreams. This is the kind of person we’ll train and nurture just for them to “retire” before we get our investment back.

Nationalism sure is having a day despite the fact nearly everyone (with a few notable exceptions) in 2025 is being f***ed harder by their own country than by ANY external powers.

“There’s some commotion over the next hill. Would you like to take a gander?”

Not insanity, just narcissism.

He wants it. Therefore, he deserves it.

This is how pieces of s*** operate. It’s also how he did all the rape without the tiniest inkling of shame, empathy or regret.

Thanks, OBBBA.
