  • Yeah...this is going to be a super unpopular opinion, but there needs to be a designated distro for new users who aren't sure what to go with. If someone asks "What distro should I-" the rest doesn't matter. We just agree on one distro and that's it. Once they have a reason to look for another distro, they'll have the knowledge to find it themselves.

    You have to make the first step easy.

  • It feels disingenuous at best to lump in people making $60k/year with Jeff Bezos and other billionaires. Just twelve billionaires account for 2,100,000 homes worth of emissions, and that's only the raw output of their travel and other direct expenses: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/nov/20/twelve-billionaires-climate-emissions-jeff-bezos-bill-gates-elon-musk-carbon-divide

    Yes, we can all do our bit to help out, but workers pointing fingers at other workers will only ever benefit the ruling class.

  • I agree that kicking the can down the road isn't going to help anything at this juncture, but it isn't a good idea to fund the government for the next 100 years. The world changes drastically pretty much every year at this point, and funding needs to change with it. We just need actual adults as representatives so it doesn't take the entire legislative session to do the basic upkeep of our nation.

  • Living in a red state, I would? It's not every year that an elected official gets whacked, even one that's a member of a hated minority. For reference, there's been 57 assassinated government officials in the US total: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assassinated_American_politicians

    Saying "Eh this is just par for the course all countries are like this" feels like it minimalizes the problem.

  • I have something called Dr. Squatch's Wood Barrel Bourbon. It's a bit strong for my taste but it smells nice and controls the sweating better than Old Spice Mysterious Ocean Bits (which also smelled good).

  • Show me someone saying "This is fine", and I'll show you someone who has the privilege to not fear whether they're going to be blocked out of society for the crime of...existing. This is only the first step to "All businesses, including businesses required for life, can discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals". Y'all are unhinged.

    Obligatory:

  • People: But they aren't perfect!

    Me (trans): But...I want to live tho

    People: But gaza!!!

    Me: It is literally illegal for trans minors to get any gender dysphoria treatment in my state and they're drafting bills for adult bans, please help me (and also Republicans would've gone even harder supporting Israel)

    People: BoTh SiDeS!!!!

  • Yeah, TCL was the front-runner when I was looking for a non-smart TV until I saw that. :( I ended up just going with a samsung and hoping for the best. I've not noticed anything annoying, but we're probably going to switch back to a PC hooked up to the TV with all the subscription problems / price jacking lately.
