These animals have no morals and will use any trick they can think of. But I think you're right, people will fight on and part of that is stopping people from becoming disheartened.

I don't think true democracy has ever been achieved, where all people have a say in how society operates. So it is, fundamentally, a never ending story.

Great minds.

But I worked extra hard. If there isn't a scale of shitty, how can I lord it over those that I perceive as not contributing as much me.

If making people miserable is what's makes me happy, then making myself miserable in the process is clearly worth it. /s

Spite is the mind-killer. Spite is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

explaining “wallpaper” to the currents in the ocean…

If this isn't just a saying I haven't heard of, I'm doing my best to make it a common place phrase, absolutely perfect in this context!

This, he's also really pissed the unionist lunatics off in northern Ireland by laughing in the face of their leader with the leader of Sein Fein. Poor Jeffrey was so excited that day too...

Unfortunately, people being cunts, this is very open to corruption by pretty power hungry authoritarians. But probably the only viable solution.

I think you might be on to something. It could also possibly allow for the ability to pass regulations on predatory practices by big tech.

Awww who am I kidding, that's a fantasy land, maybe if the UK allows companies to pump more sewage into the waterways America will want to trade then.

So why does Israel keep putting them in prison and kill them en masse

This is the thing, I think desktop Linux has everything I need and the edges cases I can script. I find most tools much more useful to use on the cli. Web stuff is usually provided via a browser and some sort of application running within the browser.

The only thing Id prefer a UI for is image/video editing, and while the tools for Linux for these usually aren't as pretty, they are usually more functional.

If I can't change some software when I need too, this annoys me, which is why I use Linux. Slick apps with pretty UI and really well defined UX while nice, are normally very restrictive by design...

Most people who don't care about the level of functionality and customisation I'm thinking of, normally don't venture beyond the web anyway, so having mint and an up to date browser is likely a nicer experience for them than other OSes.

Or they're using a phone, which to be fair does currently need work with Linux...

Mutal love between genocidal scumbags. I imagine hilter would have been happy to work with bibi. I mean Putin the genocidal fuck was great mates with him until uncle Sam told Bibi they can't play no more.

Yes, it's impossible to do things differently. If there were no roads, all chip fabs would be demolished along with their custom local power plants they usually create on site.

But maybe they could keep some production going so that the chips for security tags could still be produced. With no roads, how would the police chase all the shop lifters.
