I've tried to run Ubuntu, mint, Debian, and couple other distros without the terminal to see if I can actually recommend it to non-geeks. And every time, I conclude I can't because the fucking "software center" (or whatever it's called) is always garbage, and it's easier to just use apt.

The only time I'll recommend Linux to a non-tech person is when the hardware is so old that it would just be junked without Linux.

I doubt they're bots on Lemmy. Just severely confused leftists. (Not to be confused with leftists who have valid criticisms of Ukraine/NATO)

I have parrot-stuffed gourd every day and I'm fine

Yes, and in the script in the OP, wakko is genderless and nonbinary

Nah. Abed in Community is the best example of how you can have great representation for a group (autistic people) even if the character wasn't initially written with that trait in mind. He was initially just written as a character, not an autistic character. Animaniacs had plenty of gender fuckery going on that kids like me noticed in the 90s

Why does British media get away with anything

That's the craziest thing I've heard in a while. Every US war has resulted in a bigger military. That's generally how military spending works

Unless you're in Russia, you can call it a war. It's embarrassing to use such a euphemism (and no, I'm not a NATO lib). Of course you are right about the pentagon's emissions.

Chicken nuggets shaped like dinos are a better example

Maybe they should. A well-written and edited article is still going to be valid and provide needed contex for months. Cable news has fooled us into thinking that if something was written more than an hour ago, we can safely ignore it.

You're worshipping the 24 hour news cycle instead of actually understanding current geopolitics

It has its issues but the graph showing temperature/precipitation/wind can't be beat IMO. I try to use other apps, but wunderground is the only one where I can open it up and almost immediately have a good idea of the weather for the rest of the day and the rest of the week

A sign of weakness for sure

If you knew anything about Yemen in 2024, you'd know that their position towards Israel is supported by virtually the entire population, including opponents of the Houthis. The population knows what it's like to be starved and bombarded by US weapons.

Lol. Normally Elon just posts cringe that isnt funny in any way. But this is hilarious. "I love your transphobia, but have you tried thinking about literally anything else?" Like he wants her to start posting great replacement shit

A handful of protests aren't gonna rattle genocide joe

I think conservation techniques can count as science. If it was a rare species, the science connection would be more obvious

I hate that body language vid so much. Pigs and their pseudoscience. You gotta wonder how many lives that advice fucked over - neurodivergent people, people from different cultures, and also just unlucky neurotypical Americans (the people it should work best on, but it's still a pseudoscience)

It's already well known at work that I don't just not like gore videos but that I hate them and actively avoid them.

What the FUCK is going on at your work? I know this isn't always an option, but I suggest you run away. A workplace where you're considered the weird one because you don't like snuff vids? I really doubt a complaint could fix that environment, it sounds rotten to the core
