congratulations. you've just sent a linux newb down a 12 hour rabbit hole that doesn't actually solve their problem.

not seen in this comic: the linux file isn't where the comic/manual/internet nerds says it should be, and there's no realistic way to find it

and that's why they say piracy is a service issue

if the game you purchase can't be played without an internet connection, either always online or a once-in-a-while check in, but the game you pirate can always be played regardless of the status of your internet connection . . . one of those is clearly the better service

for example, if my internet connection is up, I'll play an MMO. when it goes out, I'd like to play Skyrim, but oops, I haven't loaded the game in the last 30 days and now it wants to check in with the Steam server . . . but it can't because the internet is out. so i never get to play the game i bought - what good did it do me to purchase a legit version of Skyrim?

But only during the brief moments between feature-film-length loading screens.

you don't know what's in there. could be pumpkin spice.

Why does the working class, the larger of the two classes, not simply eat the smaller one?

lol, nazi purists getting mad this guy is considered one of them

and a system of wealth inheritance that ensures whichever family was rich when the system first started is the de facto monarch in perpetuity

yeah, for a while they were the only option if you wanted an EV with >80 mile range, but there are other options today

Tesla's no-dealerships, no-hassle purchasing experience is more like ordering something from Amazon instead of the usual, infuriating slog of trying to purchase a new car. Its strictly superior to the legacy car companies, and so are Tesla's batteries.

But the entire rest of the vehicle isn't the best anymore. The CEO's loud, public support for fascism is just one more nail in the coffin for a brand that was already past its prime.

pro-nazi moderator bias on reddit - failure to remove hate speech, and retaliation against users who report it

heroin dealers too, aka the pharmaceutical industry

Yeah, there's no good way to shut down the production of alcohol. All you need to make it is water, air (wild, airborne yeast), and food (sugar) and if you don't have one of those things then you have bigger problems than prohibition laws.

Yeah, I imagine they can be decent for businesses with in-house repair staff and that print stuff all day every day so the nozzles usually don't dry up and clog during business hours.

But if you're not in the printing business and don't have someone in the office who is comfortable grabbing a screwdriver to take a printer apart and fix it, then you're probably better off with a laser printer.

I've never used a refillable bottle type inkjet, but everyone I've talked to who has says they're a nightmare and never work right.

over a certain amount of wealth - damn right

as a starting point of negotiation I would suggest any inheritance with value in excess of a lifetime of full employment at minimum wage gets taxed at 100%
