That we know of

I think it’s a “don’t interrupt when the enemy is hurting itself” situation.

Technically proprietary software, but that’s only because the hardware is unique. It might be free, but I can’t see the source or install it on other universes.

Now remember that Carter wanted better mental healthcare, and Reagan nixed it

Back when I was a kid, my family’s church used the ‘god cares for the sparrows’ verse to push prosperity gospel. They’re “taking care” of the poor and widowed by providing them a path to god’s grace, which is inseparably coupled with financial security. If you’re going to church and not rich, they say you’re still too sinful.

Yeah, my pharmacy didn’t stock doxepin when my doctor trialed it for insomnia, and that’s just a normal antidepressant. It’s not one of the ones commonly prescribed, so there’d be no sense in stocking it just to gather dust.

To be fair, techs don’t usually talk to the people who can read, so they’re only ever going to see idiots. There are competent people in the world, they’ll just never need your help, so you don’t see them.

Last time I called tech support, it was for a Dell, and I interrupted their speech to tell them I already looked up the diagnostic. They asked which numbers were lit on the error panel to confirm I had the right diagnostic, and passed me directly to who I needed to talk to. I only called tech support because the cpu socket died and I was putting in a warranty claim, otherwise they would have never even heard from me because I could just install a new motherboard myself.

What do you mean ‘why automatic’? Does Canada not automatically start applying laws when they’re passed?

But muh division

but I’m not trying to accomplish anything

This is the problem. Co-conspirators don’t grow on trees, and protests are for networking because online chatter is too obvious. If you’re going to protests, but not trying to accomplish anything by doing it, you’re doing it wrong.

Plot twist, the cd-r was also stolen lol

It was absolutely better under Macromedia.

Because you’re just cool like that.

My partner is a luddite and needs help setting up a new cell phone, and had been avoiding linux because he thought it was just for programmers. I put Ubuntu on his machine back in '10, and he hasn’t run into problems with it because he only uses Firefox and LibreOffice.

We’re not any smarter than the fascists

I’ve been saying this for a while. Being ‘on the left’ is no guarantee that somebody is intelligent or a good person that cares about others. Anybody can say they’re a leftist, but it’s gotta be borne out of action or it’s meaningless.

Most of the HOAs in my area are a mix of privately owned homes and rental properties owned by the company that built the neighborhood.

Biden tried, no loans were forgiven, some loans were forced to be more ethical, but nobody was freed from the debt.

Factually untrue. My loans got forgiven.

Depends on how he hears about it. If somebody brings it up as being beneficial to everybody, he’ll want to axe it, but if he just hears that we’re dumping tons of gross bugs on Mexico, he’ll probably be on board.

Please do, it sounds interesting

DDG isn’t giving me any returns for this, can you ELI5?
