😭😥😢 Here's a few to choose from, I assume you can still copy and paste.

AOC is great too, but I think some people are looking for revolution in the party and Jasmine gives off more "ready to flip the table over" energy, which is resonating with a lot of people these days.

Like the Republican party?

Appealing to their better selves hasn't worked. I'm ready to try someone willing to tell them to sit down and shut up because the adults are talking. Besides, if you watch her speak for a bit, it's clear she has earned that confidence and done her homework.

Eugenics isn't just done by government. The world has been limiting the reproduction of the disabled through social pressure for ages. Look at the stigma interracial relationships used to have. Examples are everywhere.

Why does everyone think eugenics only means the way the Nazis did it?

It's a broad term people. The government is the most heavy handed way to implement it but social pressure is arguably more effective and harder to end.

Look. If you want to talk about ethnic cleansing, talk about ethnic cleansing. If you want to talk about mass murder, talk about mass murder. But the term "eugenics" covers a lot of possibilities whether you like that or not.

Sorry.

Well, once involves mass murder and the other doesn't, so I think the people being impacted by that would see a difference.

But if your worldview needs overgeneralizations to survive, you do you I guess.

Which eugenicists?

There a big difference between "kill everyone of a certain race" and "you don't get to reproduce if you have a horrifying heritable disease".

I think you have it backwards, it's no wonder people who are easy to manipulate get drawn into religion.

It's worse that that, they didn't devolve into being part of the establishment, they hoodwinked you and played you for fools the whole time.

Sorry I don't have any good advice. I don't have any inner voice, as far as I'm aware.

Honestly, I think the fact that you can't count on instant gratification here is one of the things that helps keep it from becoming a shit hole like reddit.

I don't mind the slower, more deliberate place here. You get less trolls that way.

I started with Bazzite but didn't like that it was immutable. I broke the permissions on my drive and had to reinstall trying to force it to let me change the login screen background.

After that I switched to Garuda and have had it about a year.

The most painful part was figuring out what Linux uses as app stores and how they work. Bazzite just released Bazaar and I haven't tried it yet but I hear it works on other distros too. Software installation and management is the biggest hurdle to easy use and that gap is closing fast.

The most common problem I have had is that a Windows app stops working and I try a different version of proton and the problem goes away.

I have only ever had to use the command like when doing weird stuff. Most people won't need to.

Garuda also has a great helper app that lets you choose common starting software with check boxes, has buttons for updates, firmware, and other common settings, tweaks, and troubleshooting tools. It makes it pretty painless to get started.

Garuda also comes with KDE, Gnome, or Xfce (your choice) so you can get the desktop experience you like.

 

With this year's guardian games coming to a close along with the hoverboard preview, I'll admit that it was nice to let warlocks keep theirs, but I wonder when they will be releasing them to the other classes?
