It is incredible to me how little imagination these people have, acting like primary school children who just learned a bad word and now use it all the time.

Many of them are and dont understand the power or history of the word. And some just never mature past HS.

Hm. I’ll give it a shot. I was trying it under pop!

I learned this at a much younger age thanks to my step father and mother. Though it never really set in or was actioned on until much later in my 20s when I was out of their reach/strings.

i call this my bgps in the car so my kids have no idea what im talking about.

“Honey the bgps is engaged, buckle up”

Some of it to me, is just hardware selection. My laptop and egpu run windows fine. Linux gaming is rough as hell.

That said, i bought a steam deck, and it will run the same games my laptop struggles with in linux, just fine.

Frankly i find it inconsiderate to the social contract to go out on holidays, and sometimes around them.

Its frankly why i always found Black Friday and the “scope creep” of this festival of consumerism partially so repulsive. I mean its repulsive on its own just in the way people act, but doubly so in that it runs right through a national holiday.

I was going to say “are we in a simulation” but this would work too.

Yeah definately a “water is wet” kinda revelation.

Also, given that I am not Chinese, I dont really see much of a risk for foriegn citizens. I would be more concerned with my own governments spying (and most all of them do in the western world).
