Using Linux and everything else not Microsoft:

“I’m doing my part!”

This is what you respond when they ask what you have to hide.

I’ve found the only long-term, totally happy dual boot system is where you autoboot into Linux. And never boot into Windows. Every now and then I have to go back into my Win10 to do something (much rarer now, almost ready to reclaim some space). Boy, Windows hates having any signs you’ve been somewhere else.

It’s either saying it out loud, some inside joke that shouldn’t have been made public, or they don’t get the point of themes and morals of stories.

If a lot of guys are asking that question, that’s when you put up a FAQ for them.

Shameful to pick survival of family over something that will make them homeless, locked up, or killed. /s

And yes, people both in the past and now in some places go that far to try and change things, or to just fight back. But those people also got put against a wall to make those choices, and unfortunately most Americans, even the ones in trouble, aren’t quite at that level yet.

Says in one of the great documents that people “are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” It’s human nature to deal with things than totally uproot them. This isn’t an excuse against rebelling, it’s just a reason why there isn’t more of it.

We can easily whataboutism to point to all the country leaders who are playing the game with Trump, saying they don’t agree but then when called on it don’t do much of anything to stop him. Compare this to Hitler and his first moves, the same things happened. Other leaders tsked and wagged fingers, the ones that didn’t just shrug it off as a temporary thing. It’s absolutely an American problem that should be dealt with here first and foremost, and that’s more complicated than a forum finger pointing can cover, but there’s blame to go around in different quantities. The whole economic tariff crap as an example - the world needs to stop playing with him and trying to come out profiting by cooperating. Shut it down, stop trading with the US, period. You don’t put out a fire by gently waving at it, you cut off its fuel.

On the first go around Congress told him that “quid pro quo” is okay, so of course he’s doing more this time.

Screw Idiocracy. People reference it not understanding there were positives in the negatives. This is “Don’t Look Up”, that nailed our current corrupt leadership and techno-corporate lunacy, as well as ignoring what is right in front of us because shiny things are more interesting.

The other number should be the one that’s mind boggling. We see the number “million” so much and don’t grasp its scale.

Never apologize for giving your opinion. If you do it badly, then do what you did and expand on it. I don’t like olives either. Nasty things. :D But I get other people do, and probably don’t like things I do. I can appreciate why people may like them, even prefer them over lots of things, I just don’t myself. Can’t change that. And the olives are always there if I ever get a craving for them, just not my thing.

Don’t. Everyone has their preferences, which was the point.

Speaking as a straight guy, I can’t blame her for not finding men attractive.

Not so long ago… just don’t look up how long it’s been and not much has changed.

Working as designed and built slowly for decades. The goal was always to create a voter block that would consistently keep the right in power, no matter what.

One could say he has been and more, given the state of things. Just a tariff/tax would be bad, but he’s hunting citizens.

At this point any pee-involving evidence is minor compared to the rest.

Now that children were hurt, officials will start to do someth… oh, right, forgot that Sandy Hook disproved that concept.

You’re not wrong…

…you know the rest.
