I understand the sentiment.

Even worse, when you explain these things to American citizens, they get defensive and will even justify the harm they have inflicted.

I doubt you’re going to find a consensus amongst Americans like that. We disagree on a lot of stuff, especially when you look at the younger(<35) crowd.

Like you say, the chickens are coming home. You’re probably going to see more and more fucked up stuff over the next few months. You don’t have to be sympathetic.

I took mine over summer break at my high school (birthday is at the end of the spring semester, so it was either that or wait 3 months). But it was definitely offered as just another class. Midwest, BTW.

Only once, but they caught me and I got fired for being “wildly irresponsible”. It was just for like 15 seconds, the bus barely went off the road.

That’s Montgomery “Lightning” McQueen, you uncultured swine. [/s]

Also his eye is right there drooping under the windshield. He’s definitely seen some better days

Hell yeah, +1 for the guy with the weirdly shaped head

A lot of the “good advice” gurus just try to hype up the boring, well-known answer: get good sleep, eat well, minimize debt, diversify investments, etc. I appreciate it, it’s nice to have some motivation for doing things the “right way”.

I wish, I could get behind some hopeful conspiracy theories. “Things aren’t bad because people are greedy asshats, they just want you to see there’s a better way and look for alternatives” “The world order has been taken over by compassionate everymen, they just have to do bad things to keep up appearances”

As someone who has lived in the Midwest, the biggest distinction is if I’m in a city, a suburb, or rural town. People in cities can’t emotionally afford to be genuine to everybody they meet. Rural folk are suspicious of outsiders, but will help you hide a body if you’re in the group. Suburbians can be a happy medium, at least in my experience.

I think I’m emotionally stunted from years of repressing my feelings. I don’t feel that strongly about most things. A lot of people will comment about how stoic and quiet I am, but it’s not like there’s really too much to express. When I am “upset”, it’s usually because I’m exhausted or hungry.

That being said, in times of catastrophic events (deaths, break ups, etc), I might get upset. But I tend to be very good at expressing myself with words. I take my time and choose them carefully, so much so that sometimes other people will think that im being silent; im not, I’m thinking about all the ways this could play out depending on what I say.

Crying only happens quietly, to myself, maybe once a year, and usually because of some dumb kids movie that gets to me. I think the last one was Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

The only right answer is that I would save both of them by drowning myself, having them use my corpse as a emergency floatation device. 2 weeks after the occurrence, they would begin smelling brackish water no matter where they are, followed by brief glances of what appears to be a disgruntled boyfriend/son in the corner of the room as I begin to haunt them for asking me such a stupid question.

If my mom asked it, my response would be my girlfriend. If my girlfriend asked it, id say save my mom. If they both asked it, I’d get a beer at the bar and let them both drown. Cause fuck you if you’re going to play those kinds of games with me.

Tor is aware, and are working to completely remove the trackers that were transferred over from the code. That being said, all the trackers are disabled by default so it’s not like they’re actually reporting anywhere. Tor has one of the best track records for privacy of any software. I don’t think your raising any flags or blowing any whistles that the people who trust Tor are unaware of.

I’m shocked nobody has mentioned Aisleron (https://aisleron.com/), I use it for my semi-monthly shopping. It lets you organize items, and then you swipe it if you’re out of it/need to buy more. You can have different stores set up, and each item will go to the corresponding location in that store.

It basically functions like a database for grocery items with an intuitive interface.

Oh, did I mention it’s FOSS?

New to Linux, what’s the fresh install process like? I understand the actual installation, but curious about the workflow of backing up, reconfiguring, etc.

It’s both. Judgment is common in North American and British English. Judgement is fine, but not for legal proceedings. https://grammarist.com/spelling/judgment-judgement/

Olive oil can go rancid and add off flavor to food. Use mineral oil instead. Some people also go with distilled coconut oil, but I still think mineral oil is the best choice.

If sugar is on the left, and salt is on the right, what would be in the center?

There’s a lot of resources out there specifically for it. Depending on use case it may be impossible to 100% degoogle, but every bit helps.

Why would it be?

I’m a little confused on how the demosaicing step produced a green-tinted photo. I understand that there are 2x green pixels, but does the naive demosaic process just show the averaged sensor data which would intrinsically have “too much” green, or was there an error with the demosaicing?
