My money is on drugs winning this war on drugs, as they already did the one fought in the US against drugs. I'd much prefer that, in fact, as I like drugs more than whoeverthefuck it is that's fighting against drugs.
PS. WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
Can I do nothing with it?

"All of this is politics! You know, the thing that ruined America! But we're making America great again, by removing politics altogether and just staying in power forever! Hail Hitler Trump!"
Yeah, it's just Felon telling his puppets that those opposing him are puppets and thus stupid, unlike his who are big, strong and beautiful people and who will definately not lose all their money because of his economics, which is a different thing to politics because capitalism is the only one that just works, and no you shouldn't think about that too hard.
Right to defend itself, huh?
Oh there's that lizard-looking fucking cunt that we have for a president, sucking the emperor's toes I see. I wonder if they're orange and taste of cheetos, and whether Alexander "I would allow NATO nukes on Finnish soil" Stub here would enjoy the taste more or less if they did. Holy fucking shit this country is really going to the shitter fast when "our" president is out in fucking Florida ganging up on old big D's shriveled up cock with the rest of them, while our prime minister isn't doing really fucking anything except agreeing whateverthefuck the removed-faced removed that is our financial minister - and incidentally the leader of our own far-right party - says. Which so far has amounted to basically doing what the US has done thus far, and pretending like it'll fix fucking anything for the working class instead of more money in the rulers' pockets. Fucking god fucking damn it all to hell, I wish I'd see these people burning to death on the street in agony so I could actually not even fucking piss on them to ease their suffering. You are literally ruining everything for everyone else. And eventually it'll come to you too, cause there ain't no planet B. You will die of your own works, just like the rest of us. I wish it'll be fucking worth it, you miserable excuses for fatherless maggots. I hate you.
I used to be a semi-devout christian, but at 15 I started reading the bible while on a basically mandatory bible camp of sorts. So the bible changed that.
Preach. I don't regret the whole "diving into Arch" part, but I feel like I spent a lot of hours doing things that were pointless, nonsensical even. But then again I've spent most of these years since I started this journey struggling with and rehabilitating from various mental health problems (correlation=causation???) so I haven't had much anything better to do than pointless and nonsensical things, on and off the computer.
Just make sure you're not fiddling with partitions and boot loaders during work hours..
Ain't that the truth. Just recently I had invited my friend over for a coffee and such, and when he came I noticed my computer wouldn't want to boot because I had fiddled with something too critical. Sorted it out eventually, but I feel like it kinda crumbled the foundation of my whole "Linux is superior to Windows in every way" line of thinking I have been trying to bring to life among my friends...
Indeed, well explained. Though I think I should mention that I've been using Linux in general for some 12-13 years, since from somewhere around Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.10. I did make the error of overestimating my own skills and abilities regarding "figuring it out" when I dove headfirst into Arch, so basically I was a self-proclaimed massive nerd, but I didn't even realize how inflated my own ego was. I don't think the archinstall script/library even existed back then, and I also had no clue about the man-pages, or how anything really worked.
So my comment here was more along the lines of embellished musings on my own past experiences trying to learn things while I was doing them. Through these experiences what I have learned though is that the Arch Wiki is an invaluable source for most Linux users.
"Anyway, here are terminal commands you don't understand." and after asking for clarification on said terminal commands, you are quite rudely told to read The Manual - which seems to be some kind of a holy book for these bizarre creatures - without explaining in any way whatsoever which part of which manual you should be "reading". Thankfully, only every command ever created by anyone since the very conception of these systems - which was some 50 years ago in the seventies, in a university of a country you don't live in, written in a language you don't possibly even understand all that well, possibly by someone who also didn't know the language all that well - is discussed at length and in an impenetrably obtuse manner by many different parts of many different manuals, with helpful references to other commands and concepts you also don't understand, but which are all varying levels of essential knowledge for understanding some of these commands, while different levels for others. Also if you do not grasp the essential knowledge, you might completely fuck up your system. It seems that the philosophy in playing Dwarf Fortress is found in trying to use certain types of Linux distros, mostly frequented by massive nerds with hugely inflated egos: losing is fun! Because why else would I still be using Arch (btw)? But in any case: Read the Fucking Manual (rtfm to you as well, brother)
I for one am perfectly fine with rising up with all our trans et al. friends and burn all the TeSSlas. Maybe round up all the capitalist pigs allover the world and burn them while we're at it!
Oh boy, the fascists have really done it now: they're going after the beastpeople! Beware its poisonous spittle!
Well our current president, who looks like a reptilian zombie with a human skin oddly draped over him, campaigned with the thought of "allowing NATO nuclear weapons on our soil", and if it weren't for the fact that he has been, was, is, and will forever be a capitalist right-wing populist of the worst kind, that might've been the final straw for not voting for him.
Others still "serving" our great nation include the speaker of the parliament, who is a straight up far-righter; a racist and a fascist. He used to be the leader of our far-right party, but after failing in the presidential elections he switched to his current position. Then there's the leader of the far-right party, who serves as our minister of finance. She also seems like a horrible human being who deserves to get from a bullet, as she is responsible for the cuts in aid all the poor, the sick, the children, the young, the students and the immigrants, most of all who are not-as-wealthy-as-her here have faced after the last government took power.
And then there's of course our prime minister, who is nothing but a puppet of the far-right, though he represents the same party as the president had, the right populists. An insidious kind of a fucking mitten who should die with the rest of them.

He's probably a grade-A bootlicker for the fascists, specifically for those sucking each-others' toes in the White House. Conservatives and cis-people tend to be weird like that I've heard. Which is good for those in charge, as the people crave for TikTok for its druglike addictive qualities and thus the current King (bless His orange visage) in the White House (long may He reign) would get more of the people's approval, while having bootlickers like these dudes in charge of it He'd also appease the zionists' thirst to kill, rape, pillage, burn, enact genocide and rule over every muslim and muslim territory in the area, specifically right now the Palestinians, unimpeded, by blocking everything that even slightly smells of being pro-Palestine.
Indeed. But does it really matter who sells who which area of land, with all the people and other natural resources contained within the area, if it just leads to a future where the rich stay rich, the people (of the areas) stay poor, and the bombings never cease?
As to the question: a desolate, corporation-owned and capitalistically-ran dystopian hellscape apparently?
Yeah, I don't care and never will care how good of a product some fucking capitalist techpig has created. I am that kind of a person who feels nauseous when confronted with AI-slop on the internet, like on youtube or something. Just now I uninstalled Firefox and removed my mozilla account because it seemed to me that they are going to turn completely fascist (considering how they force AI and other capitalist shit on you) any moment now.
So yeah, you've outed yourself as either an uninformed or misinformed useful idiot for the capitalists, or a willing bootlicker. I suggest you get up to speed on the goings-on in the world and what you should be doing in order to fight it. Like survival in the woods, how to operate high-calibre firearms, and the means to produce explosives and/or incendiaries. Or, you know, stop complying with what the capitalists tell you to accept - stuff like AI, always online DRM, internet of things...
I'm pretty sure it's because of the unironic recommendation of something as shitty and - more importantly - capitalist as an AI. That's why I'm downvoting at least. Welcome to Linux though.
PewDiePie has switched to Linux
Ok so this is the worst thing I can think of, mainly because now there will be an absolute metric assload of an influx of newbies to Linux with the reading comprehension of a fucking toddler (ie. the entire fanbase of this fucknut whose probably apparently still a fucking nazi or something? Don't know, never could stand him) flooding forums and other places after some "artificial intelligence helper" of some megacorporation told them to "sudo rm -rf /" or something. Let's just hope they'll mostly stick to everywhere else but here
Gonna have to go with alcohol and benzodiazepine abuse for this one, basically because it's the only one that I have beaten (citation needed). Only one relapse in the past 10-ish years or so! Though it took a few relationships with it, and I've gone through multiple hospitalizations (some even voluntarily), and because of that combo and all the other shit that was going on in my head (not to mention the cocktail of SSRIs and eventual SNRIs like Effexor at max dosage combined with stuff like Seroquel at max dosage for literal years, of which Effexor is still the bane of my existence; and stuff like ECT) there's like this hazy quality in my own past for me. As if I'm talking about someone else. I can't even remember most of my life from around 2013-2018 or so.
I'd say the worst part about abusing benzos with alcohol is how good it feels. I still have the cravings. Like even now I'd be up for it. That combined with the fact that it only brings out the worst in me, every narcissistic and sosiopathic tendency is not only brought forth but amplified also. And it's unhealthy in general.
So if you don't happen to die in your sleep; once you wake up and realize just how many people you've hurt, when the full weight of your own actions and the coming consequences descend upon you, you just might hope that you did. Vice, thy name is me
I hate how people who should all be fucking killed with extreme prejudice are using words by my favorite author in their shitty fucking pig-enabling, authoritarian, weaponized technologies.
