Turkeys are such smart and beautiful creatures. They are so charismatic and loyal, too. Being called a turkey is the highest honor. They are also really fun at parties and very helpful and kind and wise.

first they came for the turkeys, but I did not speak out because I was not a turkey...

my partner's mom's side of her family used to be slave owners in Cuba and that's really how they think

No biologist defines sex based on gametes alone, there are many characteristics that make up sex. Why would you define it that way? Because you started with your answer, that sex MUST be binary, and worked backwards from there.

Maybe the campfire, gasoline hasn't really smelled the same since they took the lead out of it. I really wish they'd put the lead back in so I can go back to sniffing it...

everyone who buys one should be buying two, they are very social creatures and can get depressed if they don't have a friend

You should start a podcast, persuasive round people are good at those

I really thought when social media was gaining popularity and people were talking about how bad it could be back when I was a kid that it was just "old man yells at cloud." Same with short form video content like vine or tiktok. It seemed like they were just shitting on something because it was new and different and strange to them, but they were right all along.

That is very helpful. I think what it comes down to is that people here REALLY like to be helpful and felt attacked by the post. Maybe people who don't want advice could preface it by saying they are just venting, and maybe people who want to help can look for context clues to determine whether or not they seem to know about Linux.

That's a very fair point, my experience was very different than yours so that's where I'm coming from. Usually though if I want to convince someone to switch I start by addressing the big concerns like compatibility, which is way more helpful. But then again that's much easier to do when the conversation starts with the knowledge that the other party is very much aware of Linux

you have convinced me

I have talked to them too but they are uninterested in switched operating systems. They don't have enough of an understanding about windows to be frustrated by it. Someone got mad because "well why don't you just use mac if you don't like windows?"
