When you install Mint, it'll deal with deleting windows on its own.

Installing it will be broken down mostly into:

  • download the right version of Mint.
  • make a USB to install ( it's not just putting the file onto the USB)
  • plug the USB into your old laptop, turn the laptop on, then follow the steps.

A much better guide (with pictures!) is https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Those verses don't mention to be praying, it looks like they're about preaching, doing charity work, and telling people about your faith.

Mark Carney was at a national prayer breakfast, aka an event for praying in public, and quoted from Mark.
Now, I will do the same:

Mark 6:5-6:
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

The answer is "they weren't. The study had nothing to do with that."

It's about stress levels, and how rats who were in control of the vehicles were less stress than rats who were just passengers.

He'd use the N-word, and make "jokes" like paying people to make a sign that said "death to all Jews".

I assume that he was trying to be edgy, but it was a little too far.

He did/said a bunch of racist shit in videos/streams.

In 2019 someone livestreamed themself committing a hate-crime/mass shooting, killing 51 Muslim people in New Zealand. The shooter began his livestream with "subscribe to Pewdiepie!"

That seemed to be a rude awakening for Pewdiepie, and I believe that he's stopped with the racist shit.

I somehow missed that his was a signed copy, that definately changes things.

Owning Mein kampf isn't that bad. It's a book, it can give you a look into the mind of one of the most famously evil who ever lived.

The book itself isn't very good. I remember reading it as a teen, and finding it very rambly

Colour Red, and the band name contains a month.

 

Six Feet Under

 

If you just look up the name of the song, many sites will now prompt anti-self harm messages instead of showing you results.

 
 
 
 

Both bands have umlauts in their names, solely for stylistic reasons

"Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes"

 

I mean, this is the same Trinity Western that wasn't allowed to open up a law school because they are garbage, right?

They only started to consider dropping their homophobic ways after their law school bid was rejected.

It requires members to abstain from using vulgar language, lying or cheating, stealing, using degrading materials such as pornography, and "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman."

While that rule effectively bars anyone who is unmarried from having sexual relations, it's the reference to "man and a woman" that is considered discriminatory against LGBT people. Same-sex marriage became legal in Canada in 2005.

And Janet, get real. Not being allowed to open a law school because you discriminate against others, doesn't count as a loss in diversity.

Janet Epp Buckingham, a TWU professor who helped develop the law school proposal, said she was saddened by the ruling.

"We feel that this is a loss for diversity in Canada"

Edit: It looks they stopped making students promise to be straight in 2018, but they didn't drop it for the staff.
