Gnome has been the only stable DE I've used in the last 20 years.

Always loved the customization options of KDE and would love spending hours tinkering to get everything perfect. Now I'm old and don't have time for that bullshit anymore.

I just recently tried a few different DEs on an old Chromebook (i use Arch btw) and everything crashed after a few hours due to RAM limits, but Gnome kept chugging along on this piece of shit device and is now my daily driver.

What was the issue? Maybe we can help resolve it here?

Everything you have said here makes logical, coherent sense and have completely changed my mind to agree with you.

So are you relying on Canada or Mexico?

I don't know if you are purposely omitting GOPs primary benefactor Russia because you are obtuse or because you are purposely trying subvert the discussion in a malicious way to attempt at an argument; and if you think Russia won't do everything in its power to support the Christofacist/MAGA/GOP/Nazi/KKK population with their US Civil War 2, then you are indeed fucking dumb.

Guns are the biggest killer of children and young adults.

This seems so far the most intelligent point you have made so far where I agree with you, but unlikely a concept you have independently considered and likely were told to think this way by someone smarter than you.

Non-sequiturs against you aside, you cannot realistically think you can disarm the entire population of the United States without Trump-level door-to-door military style invasive home inspections? Criminals and crazies will still shoot up innocent people, and if Uvalde, TX hasn't convinced you cops are unreliable for your personal safety, continue living in your fantasy.

we don’t seem to encounter any in our universe as we know it

What the fuck are you talking about? Genetic mutations causing horrible lifelong mentally and physically painful issues for people sounds like a bug in DNA metabolics to me. And what about black holes? Gravity wells getting so massive it bugs out because the universe has no idea what to do and thinks it is a simultaneous implosion and explosion forever until someone observes beyond the event horizon.

Let these MAGA/Trumper retards kill themselves off. It's Darwinian karma at its peak.

Appealing to the safety of children is what Republicans do to trick voters to join them. You are attempting to do the same here and have a inauthentic argument; unless you have a plan to guarantee to get rid of all weapons, people are going to kill other people including kids. I don't know if you are aware of this, but criminals and insane people don't follow the laws and will still stay armed.

And thinking an armed populace is any kind of threat to a modern military? That’s ridiculous.

Vietnam. Afghanistan. We can keep going...

I'm a progressive liberal, and a minority who's immigrant parents barely escaped from a fascist religious country with a helpless and disarmed population unable to fight back against the status-quo running the government.

I also have many gay and trans friends who live in opressive bleak conditions every single day and cannot trust law enforcement to fairly help them.

NO matter what happens, I will always vote in favor of less gun control, because hoping the fucking cops/military won't be full of racist/bigoted/MAGA-Trumper/fascist/religious nutjobs not intent on fucking you over is a really really stupid thing.

You are responsible for your own families well being. If you feel safe thinking you live in a fucking fairy tale utopia and most western societies are not at one catastrophic event from collapsing, you are delusional.

And so we should turn our attention to REAL democratic reforms. Ranked choice voting. Ending the electoral college. Curtailing political gerrymandering. Converting our two-party duopololy system into an actual multi-party system.

Not to sound nihilistic or defeatist, but the odds of any of that federally passing within our lifetime has the same odds of Congress deleting the Second Amendment.

Maybe state governments can be swayed to add these amazing ideas, but good luck telling rural MAGA retards that is all actually in their best interest to add these concepts into local government.

Pretty sure that was the goal. Now they can arrest whoever they want.

Any Trump supporters out there

Literally zero of them browse here. Your message is simply echoing in here. You should post it to Truth Social or Hexbear or whatever shithole they peruse and let us know here what their replies are.

Seriously, their society sounds so overtly positive in the face of a preposterously hopeless and uncaring universe, there's no way even the codex is telling the truth.

It's like being stuck in a malfunctioning elevator with the Adoring Fan from Oblivion, or trapped in a burning home with Ned Flanders; the overt positivity just seems like it's projection and there is a hidden darkness element somewhere waiting to come out.

The "Greater Good" religion simply sounds too good to be true. So they should all be destroyed, and their societies wiped from existence.

Edit: it looks like many people here don't understand the obvious hypocritical irony and sarcasm written here...

 
 

The three scientists were engaged in “gain-of-function” research on SARS-like coronaviruses when they fell ill.

It looks like the Chinese lab leak conspiracy theory is slowly being revealed to be conspiracy fact?

 

Additionally does anyone have any recommendations of cool people and organizations to follow on Mastodon? I am literally open to any and all ideas and representations (I wish to expand my understanding as well as open my mind to views that oppose my own proclivities).
