You have to spend money on weapons in order to have the privilege of sitting peacefully with those weapons rather than dying on your enemies.

Everyone has a right to go their own way. Everyone has a right to have an opinion on how you go your own way.

The percent of US Christians and veterans who picked Cheeto exceed 60% both groups should properly classed as nazis and traitors.

We absolutely had a choice

And no, it doesn't run worse

Flatpaks that aren't official products of the source project sometimes have interesting issues pertaining to their permissions, are harder to set as the handler for files, harder to enable usage of system tools, don't follow system themes, are harder to start or use from the command line, and yes start slower than native apps.

I like the idea that even stable distros can have latest stuff easily or distros which don't package a given project. I use a few myself. It is certainly annoying that it ends up teaching people about what dirs they need to share with flatseal, flatseal, desktop files, and the command line for something which is supposed to simplify things.

Kinda feels like less work to use rolling release with a more comprehensive set of packages.

There’s a good reason why there is no GUI installer in arch (aside from being able to load it into ram).

This is the dumbest conceit of the arch community. I learned Linux using Fedora back when regular usage required more know how than installing arch does and it was enormously helpful to have something you could click and install and THEN learn in a functional environment. Also following the guide isn't THAT hard its just a waste of effort for a million people to do so.

You are an asshole for not putting the fact it is a state house in the title. I'm blocking you and reporting this.

Police have literally millions of interactions with people acting erratically per year in the US. All of Europe has millions of interactions per year.

Our police are defective not because they literally massacre every person acting erratically but because between near a million sworn officers dealing with 100s of millions of people roughly a thousand kill someone this year. This is defective because others deal with similar situations whilst killing almost none.

Setting up a fantasy world where a single interaction is sure to lead to fatality is bad because its trivially disproved and the dismissal risks dismissing the ACTUAL problem of those thousand poor fuckers who died many for no good reason.

This doesn't make the parent posters fantasy divorced entirely from reality true

Well dumb dumb this is still a state law issue it hasn't changed

This is of course not real. Acting out in public once may get you punched or a disorderly conduct charge but it is unlikely to enable anyone to lock you up let alone star in a remake of one flew over the cukoos nest because a lot of law and case law has happened since.

If you lived in America your rent would be 3000 and your mortgage 3000. 10 years from now you would be paying 4000 whilst they continue to pay 3000 or 2000 even if they bought during any of the 4 crashes we have had in the last 20 years.

Yep if you rent for 60 years you'll have nothing and spend more by far than the cost of the mortgage.

Lets use WA as an example. Average house costs 588k interest rate is about 7% now. So you'll be paying $4300 per month. So man that's rough but surely there are some cheaper that average units out there! If you want to be anywhere near where the majority of the jobs are even a lot drive away you are going to have a hard time getting below 450k or 3300 per month.

Well maybe you can rent cheaper right? 2BR 1.5 bath where again most of the jobs are can easily run you $2000-2500 which seems like a very nice savings however whereas your fixed rate mortgage is you know fixed your rent will probably exceed the payment on your mortgage within 10-12 years and since you have no equity you have no cushion to fall back on if you ever experience a downturn you could find yourself a bum on the street. Hell if you aren't able to save anything you will definitely be heading for bum status when you get old enough that you can't work. Holding on to being able to own something is an investment in not descending into desperate poverty later.

I think its weird how people don't believe people can actually be struggling in America without also somehow being the source of their own problems. It's like people like you have broken brains.

78.8% vs 26%?

There really aren't any simple settings for grub that need a GUI and honestly the systemd service CLI for enabling starting and disabling is pretty damn easy

This is world news but the thread is STILL about Trump specifically. If you don't want to talk about Trump the logical thing would be to downvote such thread so you see less of them.

You should make this comment in a thread about Israel and Palestine vs in an article about Trump. It's not making it about Trump to discuss Trump in an article about Trump.

That said its not our fault Israel is a clusterfuck. It's a clusterfuck because of Palestinians and Israelis. Furthermore before it was Israel it was a British territory. The US is to schizophrenic and too morally weak to rely on to save anything. Save yourself or drown.

I don't think you can blame the Dems for a majority of Americans voting for a man his own current VP once called "America's Hitler". We are here entirely because the majority of Americans wanted this.

In case you aren't aware our presidential elections aren't decided by popular vote but but electoral vote for each state apportioned sort of but not evenly according to population of state. If you get 50% + 1 vote in a given state you get all of that state's vote. You could in theory win as a red candidate with 40% of the popular vote. The majority of electoral votes are a foregone conclusion and even almost 40% of the vote in competitive states.

You could run your neighbors dog's ass as team red and win all of the vote in red states and 40% of the vote in purple states.

The entire direction of our country is determined by how as little as 2% of the county votes in 6 states. This privileges the conservatives control the country better than half the time despite only winning the popular vote twice in the last 32 years. Based on our constitution we can't change it without either their assent or a civil war and breakdown of all order.

Mostly lies and all the dead kids would call you on it if they could
