My apologies. I'll do better next time.
Yeah. From doing some research after being corrected I confirmed that I was wrong. Adjusting my world view accordingly. Lol.
How to Waste Your Potential by Taking the Easy Path at Every Key Moment
That is very true. Good point.
"They're onto me..."

I always learned that it was the other way around, for precisely the same reason; Ukraine while it was a part of the Soviet Union. THE Ukraine after 1991.
But I'm happy to be corrected. Thanks.
This is implying that they have regional power? They can barely hold onto Crimea now The Ukraine is off the leash and allowed to be more proactive in its defensive strategies.
What ships are they going to send? The one's that haven't already been sunk by cheap off the shelf drones?
Farisov who? We, the chinese government, have never heard of, not has there every been a user by the name of Farisov... Please go on about your day.
Yes.
Anyone who says differently is confusing "necessity" with "efficiency".
When I first started in Linux I rarely used the command line at all. But as time went on and I became more familiar, I found that there were some things that were simply faster to do in the command line.
I can't think of a single "everyday regular user task" than needs the command line, tbh.
If conservatives think the Republican Party doesn’t represent them, then why has that party continued to exist?
Because money is power. The hard-liners running the show keep it that way while ma and pa everyman in the midwest really don't have any kind of say in it.
I would assert that any party based on conservative ideals will, at some point, become akin to what the Republican Party has become. And the sole reason — critical thinking is not a part of the ideology.
I firmly do actually believe that, yes. Eventually. But even when it devolves, it's not going to be all of them. It'll be a minority or people who have the money, which gives them the power, while ma and pa everyman in the midwest (again) has little control over who uses their ideals for what purpose.
Like the original person that replied to me, you're doing the indefensible of automatically painting every single conservative with the same brush, and that's just flat out inaccurate.
There's a difference between believing in some backwards ideals like conservativism, and acting on them. I live surrounded by Conservative thinkers. And yeah, they'll admit that they don't believe in gay marraige, lgbtq, immigtation, etc... all of that stuff. Is it backwards? Yes...absolutely. Will they take up arms against a government and think advocate violence? No, that's stupid. Despite their individual beliefs in their own home, they generally have the opinion of let everyone live their life.
Yeah, there's people who are insane like that, and want to push that belief onto everyone. And yeah, their unfortunately in charge of the narrative of the GOP and the Republican Party.
But painting every single person on one side of the line as the same is not only wrong, it's harmful to any sort of debate because if you pretend all conservatives are violent racists than you'll just alienate the ones who aren't.
Fair enough. You're more than welcome to your opinion. But to my mind, what's indefensible (and ridiculous, frankly) is painting absolutely everyone on one side with the same brush, no matter how much you may hate that side's ideals (or lack thereof).
I get that. And, playing the devil's advocate here....what happens in a couple of years when the time comes to purchase a new Laptop/desktop that comes pre-installed with Windows? Will your current ire and consternation hold up until then, meaning you'll take the effort...long after this current "trust crisis" is over...to install Linux once again. Or, with this current scandal a faint memory from a few years back, will you just kind of shrug and say "Hey...it's there, I might as well just go with it."
I mean no offense, and I by know means want to presume your answer here. But I'd be willing to bet 90% of the people who, in a pique of ire, replace their current windows with a linux distro, won't bother to do the same when they purchase a new laptop down the road.
