Boy hostile design, though one could be fooled into thinking it, as this is near criminally insane stupid design instead

- Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US? 1 week ago:
That’s by design
A dumb population is easier to control, which is why Republicans since Reagan have been slashing education whenever possible, trying to inject theocracy on there as much as possible, because religious dumb fucks are even easier to control
That cutting salaries helps them with their greed is just a cherry on top of the vomit cake

- Comment on Why are people like my grandpa so against seeing the whole world and learning a different language? 1 week ago:
I guess the fake American exceptionalism has something todo with it. They think and actually believe that the USA is the best country in the world, because that’s what they’ve been told everywhere by everyone. In the US, of course, because outside the US we laugh about the country.
Maybe they’re also subconsciously afraid to go there and see that their whole life has been a lie

How about wealth caps?
Nobody can have a net worth of over 1 million dollars. Rest goes to taxes. Govt. can do free healthcare, free education, even universal income and though there still will be small differences in net worth, they will be small enough not to matter
Most importantly: nobody will be rich enough to fuck over the world for their own benefit

No. I was questioning why drink whatever that is if they don’t like it. If you don’t like it, don’t drink it?

(almost) Everyone watches porn, yet in my experience, the vast majority of people look down on performers
I guess it’s this social status thing.
It’s similar to how in all the most religious.placea people are mostly into gay and trans porn. Noooooobody watches it, but porn sites continuously have to stream that porn there, they don’t know how that happens either, magic!

No
He called himself “war machine” and was the exact type of loser that you imagine he is.
She broke up with him because of his violence, she started dating, the guy got in het house, best up het date and then beat her to an inch of her life. Had she not escaped, she would have been dead
Friend of mine is a friend of her and he testified in her court case against that human shit stain, so I had some more interest in it
Most people have the weird “she is a porn actress so she had it coming” thing, i just think that violence is never okay, no matter who the victim is.

Meh, that’s tech details that you won’t have to deal with at all
I’ve used Linux on desktop for decades now (started way back at 2002) and the lady time o touched the kernel for normal desktop stuff is literally multiple decades ago
Windows too has a kernel but nobody talks about it because you can’t really do shit with it unless you’re a developer
With Linux you can do whatever the fuck you want and it’s all relatively easy. I can access and modify the Linux kernel in 10 seconds flat if I want to. THAT is why people talk a lot about the Linux kernel, because it’s so easy and powerful to use. Microsoft Windows kernels aren’t even worth talking about.
But as a common user, you don’t HAVE to do stuff with the kernel if you don’t want to. My 70 year old mother doesn’t either and she’s fine using the Linux desktop that I installed for her.
For high intensity gaming you might have to make small modifications here and there in human readable text files, and usually documentation about it is excellent.
Most of Linux is so fucking easy to setup that last time I installed both Linux and Windows, the Linux (Kubuntu) cost 30 minutes to install and that includes the time to download the ISO and burn it on a USB and includes drivers for printers and GPU which were all setup and installed out of the box.
The windows 11 install cost me 7 hours divided over 5 days.
Amongst all the problems I ran into, I had to make BIOS modifications because it refused to install at all, it fucked up badly because I had the gall to burn a standard ISO with a standard ISO burning tool on Linux, completely forgetting that Microsoft always sabotages their software so that it won’t work well with Linux. I had to install windows on a virtual machine install some special fucking Windows ISO burner tool, burn the USB there, then it worked. That cost me hours over multiple days of searching the Internet on why the frack such a basic thing failed, plus the time required to set all that shit up just to be able to START the installation.
Then during the installation I got so many questions, so many questions… So many… Please sign up here, please pay more money, please rent our services, please please fracking please! The install itself took a bloody hour to finish
What I’m trying to say is: Linux is friggin easy. Windows is hell. Windows costs money, spies on you, serves you unwanted ads and your computer is no longer yours.
Why does anyone even use windows to begin with? I don’t get it.
