Not an assumption.

I freely admit that it's an anecdotal fallacy in that it's based entirely on my own experience and may or may not reflect the larger reality. But it would only be an assumption if it's something that I was just guessing was true, whereas I've been around the Linux world long enough to see it first hand.

That, good sir, is a Swiss Army Knife.

This is a pocket knife.

This is a combat knife.

and this is a hunting knife.

Pierre Poppinfresh's name is likely top of that list.

If anyone would be able to tell the difference between a "combat" knife and a fucking "pocket knife", you would think it would be the y'all quaeda brigade of Trump supporters. But the fact that they'll buy this shit up in droves despite knowing damn well it's not what it's advertised as just points to how brainwashed these cultists are.

Every generation comes of age with the opportunity to make the world (THEIR world) how they want it to be. But no generation really does. Don't like Late Stage Capitalism, then when you hit 21, vote the old men out who hold your world beholden to it. Every generation has that ability, and yet every generation seems to have less voter engagement than the last. That's on them...not the system.

Yes. It's called empathy.

You may not have a vested interest in the particular story, but the very act of someone that you care about (presumably) being excited about something should at least bring some sort of good feeling to you. When people I care about are enjoying something, it makes me happy. So while their kid pictures, or vacation pictures or whatever might not be interesting to me, the fact that they care enough about me to want to SHOW them to me, should give you a warm feeling.

That being said, no...I'm not going to dunk for not feeling that. It's different from person to person certainly; and I (and here I'm going to revert to my "old man yells at clouds" mode) feel like modern friendships are just different. We are suddenly in an age where having a few close friends has been replaced with having a tonne of "shallow" friends that you meet online. They're still "friends", but beyond texting and playing together online, you never see each other, never get closer than that. And certainly it would be a different feeling entirely. But the cadre of close friends that I made while working at Sears in 1998, and who I still talk to almost every day and see regularly, of COURSE I'm going to care.

Keeps jumping to the latest kernel instead of the latest stable release.

Blames nvidia for not keeping up...

I've been on Manjaro for years and have literally NEVER had your issue. Why, because I don't just automatically change to the latest kernel and then wonder why shit doesn't work.

After an update, it'll tell me if a newer kernel is available, I'll look at it and if its a new stable release I'll change to it with no issue because an NVIDIA update was likely included with that update.

Stop forcing early adoption on your computer and then blaming others when it fucks up your shit.

The point isn't to get Trump into the Whitehouse; it's to get Vance into the whitehouse.

Trump will legitimately kick the bucket within the next four years, guaranteed. And Vance will be the one to take his place. Vance will be the one who is suddenly an "incumbant" backed by the heritage foundation who is actually reasonably well spoken, able to debate, far smarter than Trump, and younger.

Vance wasn't "chosen" by Trump, he came as a part of the deal with the Heritage Foundation to get him elected.
