You somehow still learned wrong, and I don’t understand how any of that happened. Nvidia not working well with Linux is so widely known and talked about, I knew about it, and the actual reason (which is the reverse of what you think), for several years before switching. I feel like you must have never tried to look anything up, spent any time in a place like lemmy or any forums with a Linux focus and basically must have decided to and kept yourself in some bubble of ignorance and no connection to learn anything.

Not if you do it from behind.

This applies to so much. It’s almost always people who have never experienced anything truly hard, no matter if it’s the same category, who do the “omg, that’s so me” thing. Experience of that leads to empathy, sympathy and understanding that someone else’s struggles with something that has never been hard for you can be the main thing that makes their lives difficult.
That’s not an exclusive thing, of course, some people understand that even though they have never had issues on the same level, and some people have had stuff that’s affected them and their lives more bit still don’t get that. But my experience is that those are outlier more than the norm.

I’ve read about some Judges doing similar things to that, anything in their power to help, but that percentage is so small compared to ones who willingly go along with all this that it barely puts a dent in the whole. It’s fucking scary, and I say that as someone that’s not from/in the US and have not had the mental energy to really keep up to date with everything. What I do know is that if this was my curreny country of residence (immigrant or not, legal status irrelevant) and had the mental energy to keep up I’d only be even more scared. The only hope I can put in the table is that many Judges and people in any other kind of position of power want to do more than they can without loosing those positions, and the more people of any kind who fight back the more they will be able to stand their ground and help people in need. Every single grain of sand won builds up to help give power to others, both currently and in the future.

Said this in another thread a couple of days/weeks ago (what is time?) but it still feels like a fever dream to be reminded of it.

“His mother”

Just how did you make that mistake…?

This made me look up Europe vs the US prisoners stats:

European population is 750,000,000.
US population is 350,000,000.

Europe has 500,000 prisoners.
US has 2,000,000 prisoners.

I knew it would be bad but that’s fucking unbelievable… Half the population but 4x the amount of prisoners.

And just to be clear; this was from a couple of minutes of searching, I don’t have time right now to delve deeper and really back up those numbers. If anyone has more knowledge and sources, please correct me.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

How the fuck was any of that confusing? It’s about as clear as it can be…

I’m actually surprised it’s only 5 years old, I would have guessed 10.

Hello stroke, I’m dad.

How did you fail at that? You had to get two words correct but managed to not do it, shame on you.

I just now found out it’s the same actress who plays the silver surfer in the new fantastic four movie and Ruth Langmore the Ozark series, Julia Garner.
I started watching Ozark right after I saw the movie, not for any related reason, and now that I saw this post I just thought “oh, I have no idea who played the silver surfer, gotta look that up”.

The original is better because no higher resolution version actually looks like the original. It’s so weird, it’s not hars at all to make a higher res one that’s almost identical to the original yet all the ones I’ve seen just look like shit. I’m gonna take some time tomorrow and make a high resolution version with the details correct.

Congratulations, I think you might have a truly original experience. Never seen a kid that doesn’t like onions in any way, so they don’t need to be forced to eat them. And why would you force that in the first place? They aren’t the kind of vegetable that you need to eat, they’re there for flavor. I’m certain there’s some deeper issue here, you might want to figure that out.

How are those not things to be glad over? I’m very glad when I’m able to do those things because I’m not always able to do them. It makes me feel lucky and happy. Anyone who doesn’t feel those are things to be glad over need to check their privilege, they’re spoiled and shitty.

And I dislike greenpeace too, not defending them at all.

you’re*
