The majority of those problems go away if more people had their basic needs met.

They are helping, yes, but windows 11 is a driving force like I’ve never seen.

If I was her, I’d publish the threat and result in the place I hosted the mod, then nuke my own mod.

But I’m a spiteful little shit.

Huh. Never realized chromebooks were priced that low.

Thanks for the correction.

Desks are cheaper, and the hole only slightly impairs functionality.

So you don’t want our opinions, do you? You just want people to agree with you.

His thoughts seem to be that they share almost no characteristics, no philosophical underpinnings, and that there seems to be no direct path from the one to the other.

What do you think a discussing of “proto-X” is going to look like, if not comparing it to other things looking for similarities and possible links?

I have several 300 gallon mixers at work, and a QA lab. If the mixer won’t do the job, I’ll just pour acids in until it is reduced to soup.

Then I’m fleeing the country because maintenance will make the eldrich horror look like the easy choice.

Better than me.

It’s a brutal message to westerners who are whining about Chinese dominance in electric cars, claiming it’s ‘‘unfair’’

That’s the Chinese quality insurance system.

That only applies of the quality of the product hurts Chinese people. Cheap mass market crap for westerners isn’t gonna be held to such standards.

On this, I think we can agree.

The one does not flow directly from the other. A better world requires some protecting from each other, which means giving up some freedoms. A system of complete and total freedom would not be good for most people.

However, as Franken said, it is important not to give up essential freedoms. What freedoms, exactly, count as “essential” ones? Hard to say. We should have a thread to discuss it.

No, it isn’t.

What does that have to do with my claim?

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but a lot of the trouble in the US was caused by people using their freedom to do terrible things to people, and to set the stage for more of the same.

Provided they don’t touch freedom to not breed, and we don’t put racist ducks in charge, I think that works be the easiest for me to bear.

But I don’t want kids, so it’s not much of a sacrifice.

Win98SE was my favorite. Maximum just working, minimum trying to “help.”

Also wouldn’t work with the internet.

I remember being very frustrated by this particular implementation.

The 90’s kids who bypass the old rules are the same ones trying to implement new rules.

Not for me. I hope those given the opportunity will take it.
