OfCourseNot

So you speak for each and every Norwegian without asking, or looking up, their opinion first? How very monarchist of you!

I also think this is it. I have a couple of friends that buy these kind of products, and they are also the only gym goers I know. So for my tiny sample it’s an absolute one to one correlation.

It’s $180k just one school district. Not specified if the number of schools/students in this district is above or below the average, but a quick search tells there are 332 schools districts in Kansas.

Probably just the normal rss feed with a fresh coat of cheap golden paint to upgrift the other grifters grifting off his griftposting.

Sounds dangerous, you’d hurt yourself or the people around you all the time. Maybe you could wear little sheaths on them. But still illegal, most likely, if the cops see they’re sharp you’ll be fined (at least) and get them removed.

What about if blades illegal? And before you go there, yeah defence sprays illegal, sticks illegal, stones illegal, even a fucking spoon illegal if they think or you state that it’s for self-defence.

I haven’t even seen an ad, trailer, review, or article about it that doesn’t has to do with the Musk and company drama, yet.

I was just taking a look at that. Well, not the article but the actual study it links…

Don’t get so sassy, I think asking someone not only to read a scientific article to answer to your comment but also to go to the other comments to read another is a bit too much to ask. But I’ve done it anyway… and now I’m doubting that you did read them. From this second article:

No differences in Anterior Cingulate Cortex volume replicated between levels of conservatism - in contrast to the original study

self-reported ideology (single item) was not a significant predictor of amygdalar volume.

So you take a deep breath and read more carefully what you post before making bullshit assertions like ‘With like two minutes of training, anyone can identify political affiliation almost instantly from a brain scan, with over 70% accuracy…’.

But the right-wing hate campaign has affected the box office, giving the movie some massive publicity. I wouldn’t have even heard about the movie if it weren’t for this controversy (I’m a bit saturated lately so I don’t keep up with barely any new media).

Maybe some right-wing people just like getting angry when there’s really not much reason to get angry.

This phenomenon doesn’t only happen in that direction, lots of people cried out racism because of a white Cleopatra. So when is it acceptable to race-bend a character or historical figure and when is it not?

PS: the real Cleopatra (of the Ptolemaic dynasty) was actually white.

Ok, so first, I’ve read it but not any of the citations or any other follow up work… but that study is about people with lesions in their brain, what about people with healthy brains? Can you identify conservatives with just a scan if they don’t have a brain injury? I still doubt it, much less ‘anyone with two minutes of training’. Or maybe you mean that half (if not more) of the world population suffers some kind of brain lesion or disorder? And that sample size seems also quite small and, without really being able to actually tell, not very random (the groups with lesions are overwhelmingly white, while the control group isn’t…).

Don’t get me wrong, I do think that conservatism is a disease/disorder. But a social, memetic one. That can’t be diagnosed or cured like physical or mental problems.

Anyway, it doesn’t convinced me, but it doesn’t matter cause I don’t really have any use for that information since I can’t scan people’s brains, modify them, or cure injuries. But I’m sure the fascists taking ahold of the world will be (are?) very interested on this bullshit, and I won’t be surprised if they end up putting anyone with a functional prefrontal cortex down.

Wake up, babe! New phrenology just dropped.

Well, I believe in sickness too. And, yes, I also feel pity for Epstein and company, look at them, do you think those are happy people?

Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t no saint and this isn’t any of that ‘other cheek’ crap. I do hate to live in a world full of sick, dumb, fool, shortsighted people, but in a more ‘hate the game and not the player’ way, specially since playing it is not really a choice.

To solve this issues, or any problem really, it’s needed some understanding. I’m not very good with people or with social matters, nor do I like them much, but I think the attitude on your comment of ‘I’m glad this bad thing is happening because it’s hurting the other people more’ isn’t helping.

Do you deprive these people of your compassion because you think they are evil? Because I sincerely don’t believe in evil. I believe in stupidity, folly, shortsightedness… and the people affected by them do have my compassion and my empathy.

Also, given what you said I’d bet you voted for a billionaire-friendly, genocide supporter, fucking cop. So you, in that case, too have my compassion and empathy.

It’s an acronym, tho. From the Wiktionary page for ‘acronym’:

The broader sense of acronym inclusive of initialisms (as TNT) is sometimes proscribed[3] but was the term’s original meaning and remains its more common meaning.

So it seems like a bunch of prescriptivists just made up this distinction, included it in some style guides, and then tried to proscribe the other meaning or something.

No, they can’t. In fact most English speakers can’t understand English when spoken by most French people either.

Or older. Or this could be a family-run business in rural Alabama. Hard to say from the small fragments of information the commenter provided.

Others are answering what you technically asked, but I think that’s not what you’re looking for. What you need is a ‘live USB version’, you run it from a usb stick and can try it without installing anything in your main drive.

Here is the link to the page with the links in mxlinux.com.

Now you have to make another decision, which desktop you want to use. Mx Linux’s got three, xfce (known for being less demanding on resources), kde (bit windows-like, not that resource hungry either. It’s worth a try), and Fluxbox (I don’t know anything about this one). You might as well download and try the three of them. Just flashing them to the usb to try another.

Now the process. First you need one or more iso files (downloaded from trustable sources like the one from mxlinux.org itself, you also can check the checsum, but maybe too nerd just yet), a USB stick (probably 16gb or even 8 could be enough, but I’m not sure exactly. Pick a fast one if you can, it’ll feel quite snappier. THE DATA IN THE DRIVE WILL BE LOST), and Rufus (this is a program to flash the iso into the usb stick).

Now read the pages I linked, and maybe follow the links there for explanations, I cannot tell you how to use rufus since it’s been ages since I’ve touched it, but it’s not so hard. May get a couple tries to flash the iso into a bootable usb (meaning the computer can boot or start running the os in that drive) but you’ve got this! Run rufus and flash one of the isos into the usb stick.

Now try to boot it. Look up how to get into your ‘boot menu’ (preferable if available, and it works. But it might not…) or ‘bios setup’ on the internet. It depends on the brand and model. You’ll have to turn it off, and push some key just immediately after turning it on again, with your flashed usb stick plugged. If we’re lucky you must see some text menu that lets you chose it to boot, and you’ll be running Linux in a few seconds, hopefully.

Now when you’re ready to install one of them into your computer’s drive you have two options, dual booting keeping windows and putting also Linux for which you’ll need a free partition or ssd for it, or if you are convinced of getting rid of windows for good just chose the easy formatting options while installing and that’ll be it (THE DATA IN THE DRIVE WILL BE LOST).

If something doesn’t go as planned or you have any doubts don’t hesitate to make follow up questions, it’s normal if you have to repeat some steps or search the internet to troubleshoot something, but Linux has become super easy to install and use (it really is much worse with windows or Mac…) so good luck and welcome to Linux!

Not at all. I boarded lots of planes with food brought from outside the airport. Even international, back to Europe from the USA I went through the controls with some left over chicken no problem.

Ja! Tócate los cojones, Mariloli!

Free press: when you can’t even record the police, it’s illegal (kind of, in theory. Absolutely forbidden in practice). Freedom of speech: unless it’s against the Crown, or the Church, or national unity, or… Independent courts: independent from fairness, and the truth? Sure. Independent from the establishment’s power? Not at all. So, yes, you’re too privileged to care for any of this, but worry not, amigo, those privileges are being transferred upwards so (unless you’re part of the top elite) you’ll care soon enough. We don’t have anything to envy the USA or China (on these matters). I’ve been there, not as a tourist, so it’s not hearsay.

. I live in country with independent courts, free press and freedom of speech

Which magical country is that? Like, I get some eurohaugtiness vibes from your comment, so as a fellow eurofucker I can tell you, with quite some confidence, that you’re wrong. You’re probably just too privileged for this to matter to you, personally.
