If that’s the definition, then I think it’s textbook not at all terrorism. One of the standard definitions of violence, and the one that I agree with, is using force to hurt a person or living being. In other words, you can’t use violence against an empty car dealership in the middle of the night. So it’s not violent.

The target is the company owned by Elon Musk, and he is a member of the government. In other words, the act of inflammation is a protest against the government, not against civilians.

It depends on the arsonist, but I don’t see these acts as ones that are designed to make people fear anything. Rather, they are designed to help people band together and fight against Elon Musk and his evil Nazi ways.

And then you’ve misidentified the goal. I think one of the goals, other than helping people band together, is to hurt Elon Musk’s company economically. Now you might argue that people want to inflict economic costs upon him because of related political goals, but now you’re getting into indirect reasoning, which would allow you to argue that anything, any act at all, or not acting in the first place, counts as terrorism.

That’s where the mini split unit goes, lol. See the vent above it? For the pipes and wires.

Classic failed thought, that. We are seeing the results of the Dems’ hard work right now, my friend.

I have used it on old underpowered computers happily for years. There’s just no need for anything with high specs.

I use Debian on a regular basis and have for years, but I wouldn’t recommend it as the starting distro unless I knew that the user would have very ordinary hardware and no special software needs. It’s just annoying if you have to learn how to install Chrome, or your wireless drivers, for example.

It’s almost simple enough, but not quite, in my view. But if I were helping them get it installed, then after that they would probably be good to go.

The Democrats in Washington failed us, and they won’t admit it or retire. So of course we are going to target them… Otherwise, they’ll try the same thing in 2 years and get the same result.

I’m afraid you don’t see any of the depth in politics. Different people have different goals, and we actually need to openly discuss their goals if we’re going to work together in the future.

I believe they are competent at doing exactly what they have been doing. The system is working to benefit some people. :-(

Indeed. What personal stories?

Right, Andy’s action was bad but not as bad. We agree. It’s not identical.

And when given the chance to explain how he felt about this situation, on how the bad timing is … purely accidental or something … he did a bad job of it. Which suggests our original conclusions were in fact correct.

Also, if you think observations about time, place, and manner are superfluous, that’s a peculiar thought. Maybe we disagree. Maybe I think basic elements of societal interaction and communication are important and informative.

Context matters. Why did you ignore it? We see so many CEOs kissing Trump’s feet these days. Here Andy is, doing the same… Of course I don’t know what’s in Andy’s head, but Trump loves groveling, and clearly Andy is riding that bandwagon on purpose.

Now now. Many MAGA are in fact documented nazis, and Trump’s record is bad but it quite as explicit as that. If you’re afraid of the term being bandied about, I recommend therapy.

Overseas? Fuck no, that’s too expensive. Send everyone to Mexico cuz fuck it, right?

The only other cheap option is, what, ferries? Which would probably turn into death boats? Plane tickets are a no go.

No, he is not going to do the biggest deportation in history. He’ll try, and this shit will ruin some lives, and after a short time realistic consequences will strike and state and local governments and businesses will tell him to get fucked.

What, they aren’t genuine enough at meeting that (shitty) stereotype for you? … I don’t mean to be rude, but there’s no other way to put this… It sounds like a you problem.

Biden, fuck you too. Fuck the DNC.

From an advertising perspective, it’s important to think about who you’re targeting. Who are your likely customers? Certainly there are some based on the strengths that you raised.

However, some people are definitely not a good target audience, and some people is actually a very large group of people. There are a lot of current and potential users who essentially want the standard major applications to work, and they’re not going to touch the root partition, and they want things to be very simple. For people like that, Debian or Ubuntu or Fedora already do what they want. And these major operating systems have been around for so long that people will naturally be more confident using them, because they were their friends have experience, or because they think the organization has more stability because of its experience.

Of course a lot of things depend on how you define words, but to me the above paragraph describes the mainstream audience, and I don’t think you’re going to have much luck reaching them, because I don’t think the thing you’re trying to sell gives them extra value. In other words, it’s not solving a problem for them, so why should they care.

With no social contract, Luigi will become the norm. Because why not? When you’re at rock bottom there’s no place to go except up.

Doesn’t matter of it was automatic or scheduled. After this fucking tragedy began, they should have immediately halted the raises. Anyone with a conscience would.

Many sites work best with NoScript because the anti AdBlock is done by JavaScript.

(Of course that doesn’t always work, but when it does, great.)

P.S. … and don’t go to McDonald’s later. Stick with Burger King or Arby’s.
