They don’t have to take away your power if you stop yourself from using it first. Don’t willingly give up your voice.

“Significant other”. It’s a stand-in for any partner (boy/girlfriend, husband/wife, commonlaw, fuckbuddy, etc)

Not only wouldn’t he see a punishment, but he’d be elected a second time to do it again!

A 20 year old car can be perfectly functional.

Not if the car manufacturers get their wish. They’d love to force you to buy a new car every few years. Having tech installed that becomes obsolete fast would help make you upgrade.

They won’t, but they bought me a brand new shiny copy of Linux Mint.

No, the only two things they share is that they’re men, and that they’re rapists. Both of those factors are important. Not all men are rapists, and not all rapists are men.

Hate speech is not free speech. That’s as simple as it gets. Most rational countries understand this.

This slaughter so far

That’s not hypocritical. That’s reaching your target audience.

Sorry, I didn’t mean it to sound so aggressive. I wasn’t arguing against your statement, just the use of passive language in general to downplay what’s going on.

And don’t apologize for your English. You speak it well.

It’s not “a loss of life”. Loss of life is from an accident or disaster. It’s something that couldn’t really be avoided.

This event was an intentional slaughter of innocent human life. It’s not “loss of life”. It’s genocide.

That’s what you’re for.

That’s roughly 340,136 Danny Devitos.

Right, but the Catholic Church doesn’t own Notre Dame. The government of France does. The church would not get any of the proceeds.

I got here because my parents fucked.

I’m shocked that the people who stand to benefit from it have a different definition than we do.

i’m sure they’d be fine with it if it were their kids on the receiving end, right?

But I was told terrorists hate America because of their freedom. Are you saying it was really their foreign policy this whole time?

Because if they were current and said that they would become ex very quickly.

I ditched Microsoft on my new build back in Feb. I installed Mint and it’s been a really smooth transition for me. I can still do everything I used to, although I know there are some use cases where it’s a problem for people. All the games I’ve tried run well.

But it does give me peace of mind that someone isn’t going to change my settings in a way that benefits them in a patch. I feel like I’m working with my OS to get things done instead of wrestling against what some corporate MBA wants.

I despise advertising. I won’t sit through ads telling me I’m missing out, or my life would be much better if only I had x. How much of our lives is spent listening to someone try to convince us that we need some product? And somehow they’ve convinced us that wasting our time with their bullshit is ‘normal’. Being marketed to constantly is not normal.
