Never underestimate how insanely cool a lat pump looks.
The thing with this is, that only big lats don't make you look good. Having no lats but being very trained is also bad. It's about symmetry. If you need bigger lats for a good symmetry, than bigger lats wil let you look better.
I could have installed Linux arch in LESS time, a version known to be finicky and HARD.
I recently had to install arch 3 times since. First time I fucked up, second try the system fucked up and third time worked. With me trying to fix the system this took me 2-3 hours. Most of them trying to fix the second install. The third time I used the installation script(which didn't worked in the beginning) which made the install easy as hell taking about 10 minutes configuring the install and about 5 minutes installing everything. Later I just had to install gnome which were about 10 minutes total.
You're right. It isn't about proving something with science. It's about the community. In this community you always hear the same things over and over again, so if you start questioning your beliefs you also have to question all this "evidence" you saw. You have to question all your beliefs. The beliefs that you defended in the Internet and real life against other people. Doing so can cause an "existential crisis". It isn't comfortable to question yourself. Humans don't like change, so they won't question anything and hold onto their beliefs, since it's easy. Also all the people always positively engage with each other so breaking with your beliefs also means breaking with your social circle.
Just had to reinstall arch 3 times yesterday, since the installation script fucked up the partitioning.
Reinstall nr1(manually, since the script didn't work): I forgot to add users and couldn't log into my machine
Reinstall nr2(manually): my mirror lists was so fucked up that I couldn't install or update packages(there also were some missing databases)
Reinstall nr3(script) : finally everything worked.
When I started with Linux I used Mint with cinnamon. It's great for people who switch from windows to Linux, but after trying kde and gnome I don't miss it in any way.
