  • As a Minnesotan I'd like to point out that Walz really isn't a progressive, however, like Biden, he's repeatedly shown a willingness to welcome everyone to the table, and (generally) not stand in the way of progressive legislation, even when he personally doesn't agree, so definitely not the worst choice. But I say double down on minority women, nominate lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan instead, let's get the first native woman in the White House!

  • I actually switched to Ubuntu full-time way back in 2006 when I went back to school (anthro major), specifically to help me focus when using my computer and not get distracted by playing video games. Of course, nowadays with wine and proton on steam, that might not be as effective. But it worked well for me, never experienced any issues with word docs opening in libre office (or rather open office back then) or vice versa. There was once or twice where I had to use a computer in the lab in the library to run some niche program or another for an assignment, but not a big deal.

  • we've been weakening in that regard over the last decade

    That's the thing, we really haven't. 2016 got a lot of press because Trump lost by the narrowest margin since Bush vs Gore, but if you look at the actual vote totals, Trump didn't do any better than the last 4 Republicans, slightly worse than Romney and Bush in 2004, in fact. The only reason it was as close as it was was due to the terrible turnout by Dems for Hillary in 2016. 2020 results were back in line with the norm, with Biden winning by 7+ points. So don't believe the media's click bait hype, Minnesota is not and never was in play. (Of course, that doesn't mean we don't need to vote, and don't forget the down ballot races, which are arguably more important. And have you all voted in your primary yet? Early voting is open, election day is August 13th)

  • I've used them for years. Most years I have W-2s from multiple states, they're the only free e-file that covers all states (with income tax) last I checked (I think h&r block did briefly, but I don't think they even do free file anymore). They also do my state's renters rebate, which most other free file providers don't. I did have some issues several times with it switching me to only paid options at the very end, but a message to support always fixed it.

  • I believe Bhutan is generally considered to be the happiest nation, but I've never been there, so don't quote me on that.
