  • Dude, this shit is so outdated now it's not even funny. We knew it was Osama. We knew he operated in a terrorist network which is pretty damn broad over in the Middle-East as that's been their issue for quite some time even back then. Of course there's going to be some complicity and those helping eachother because of whatever code they function under since they're a terrorist network.

    Of course George Bush was a fucking idiot along with Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney and every other war-mongering shithead in that administration who simply wanted to go to Iraq anyways as a make-good because they derailed their primary objective. Can't find Osama? Get rid of Saddam, why not, it'll make for some sugarcoated sounding progress. All the while, let's tank the fucking economy while we're at it. Oh and get rid of some American lives who were just thrown into this makeshift war too.

    Shit, we knew there was some level of complicity with the 1993 WTC bombing attempt. Almost nobody talked of that. Big fucking clue there!

    The Middle-East is seriously corruption central, there's barely any resemblance of dignity over there. We shouldn't have been surprised of anything fucked up that ever happened while in there and around there.

  • What a world we live in, huh?

    We've got corporations who've successfully contaminated the world with their waste in a systematic fashion.

    We've got corporations who've blindsided the political system.

    We've got corporations who've blindsided affordable living.

    We've got corporations who've given us a filtered and artificial companion in AI.

    And now we've got a company that is actively seeking ways possible to ruin your way of being and living through chip implanting.

    Enjoy the world, people.

  • Scientists say discovery may be linked to decades-long decline in sperm counts in men around the world

    This is no issue to me, as someone who doesn't prioritize having sex and has no intent to bring children into this awful world.

  • I've never mentioned the software store.

    And not every single piece of software is on it.

    And yes you'll still need to use the terminal for more than just updating and installing software. Kinda routes back to my problem in regards to transitioning from one OS to another.

  • marking the next step in Republicans’ war on education.

    This line alone is actually making me feel really depressed now.

    I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I would absolutely hate being in a part of the world where there is a party that actively works to dismantle people's branch towards being better educated.

    No, you must not be too smart or else you're against them. Fucking braindead Texas.

    Can you imagine if their practice was nationally adopted? You'd have a lot of people going around saying "I don't know" when asked if they knew directions to somewhere. People having angry debates with another because they were asked about how much salt was applied to a piece of meat. People tearing down signs because they didn't understand them.

    I mean, we DO have these people, but not the entire population of them.

  • Agreed. I know it must be inconvenient to come across this thing. But people have to realize, it is done for a reason.

    You wouldn't want anyone to pretend they're you online and ruining your credibility and reputation.

  • Ubuntu and it's spin-offs are really are as close as we're ever going to get to a full, user-friendly Linux OS. At least one that isn't going to scare off as many people.

    It's just when you tell people the part where you have to keep track of some of the software that they use through the terminal, that's when you start seeing them trickle off back to Windows.

    Because the average user doesn't have the patience, time or know-how to utilize commands in a terminal. If you plopped them down during the era where DOS was prominent, they'd be so lost and be begging for a UI to handle everything.

  • Republicans NEVER accepted election results unless THEY won.

    It's nothing unique to 2020. It was only a big deal because of fatass Trump.

  • NO! I've got something better!

    We make the ads guilt you into using ad blockers! Then we pepper your active streaming with ADs every 30 seconds! YOU WILL BUY! YOU WILL CONSOOME!

  • It's starting to feel that way. The ISP I use that also serves telephone, only serves VoIP and I've had other services before do the same.

    Like, why do that when I've gotten a Google Voice number for free to use?

  • The only apple things I've ever owned was an IPod. And I never paid full price for that shit.

  • There is that nvidia open source thing that recently happened. Still think that's going to break down some doors that Linux gamers have long wanted to see. Like to be able to run their Linux OSes with drivers to their GPUs from Nvidia and play games that way.

  • This is death metal and black metal for me.

    Badass instrumentals. Why the fuck is the vocalist a growling cookie monster? Can't even comprehend a single fucking word he's "singing" and yet the song somehow has lyrics. I can barely, BARELY tolerate Cannibal Corpse for the reason that I can comprehend the vocalist.

  • Maynard is the poster-boy of pretentious.

    The very thing so many Tool fans aspire to be, that project this 'Third-Eye' that they claim to have and see things that they claim nobody else can see or express.

    They say very intelligent things like "you know, the world sucks and the two-party system is destroying us".

    Things that are incredibly common these days.

  • The internet itself by and large, will not be toxic. Do you just open your browser one day and you're faced with toxicity? No, you're not. You have the options as to where to go, what to watch, what or who to interact with. It has always been this way and will continue to be this way.

    It's always been the people's choice to decide to be assholes to each other at a given. For their own amusement. For their own self-serving sense of purpose. For whatever reason that they feel they need to do it. I don't think social media began with the intent to get as out of control as it is right now. They all started as honest ideas with one thing in mind - connect people with people.

    And they've succeeded. To regard social media as just toxic, is to imply that toxicity never existed online before they became more of a thing. Toxicity has long existed before them. They were in the chat rooms we frequented. They were on the messengers because of us allowing them to be on them. They were on the forums when allowed to register.

    Problematic people has always been around and unfortunately, will continue to be around. It's just the volume of them has amplified ever since they realized the day that they can take advantage of what anonymity, little of big, that they have and practically get away with even making people kill themselves until cyber bullying laws were a thing because I'm pretty sure that has happened in the past as well.

  • Funny because THEY were the ones causing the country to go in distress.

  • There are people who are hired specifically to pad reviews. They're easy to spot though. Every 5 star review reads exactly the same even if it's different wording.

    "This app changed my life!"

    "I was looking for so long to have an app like this so I'm happy this app exists!"

    "This app is so easy to use and install, I don't understand why people are complaining about it"

    If you want true honesty, read some of the 3 star reviews and below.
