I’m pretty computer stupid. Been using Linux for 4 years now. Used the terminal to some extent, but I’ve only needed it for specific things and my day to day doesn’t need it at all. Just dive in.
You ever been to London? I hear about stabbings a violence occasionally, sometimes places I’m very close to. But they’re always gang related, if you’re not in a gang, you’re probably safe.
I feel like Mexico is kinda similar with an added bonus of don’t walk around with expensive stuff or look like an easy target.

Every country ever has “looted artifacts”, that was literally the point of war for like 4000 years. The vast majority of the British museum’s items were legally purchased. Just like every other gallery in the world.
Would you take Mona Lisa from the Louvre? Obviously italian.
My question is, why are all the other empires not judged to the same standards? Colonialism sucked, but Britain didn’t invent it. Yet they seem to be the only target.
So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can’t fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male...
A lot of sci Fi fans also get on well with Terry Pratchett. The audio books are really good, although I prefer Stephen Briggs who did the 2nd half to Nigel Planer. You can’t go wrong with Going Postal, it doesn’t rely on much from the earlier books, or Men at Arms if you wanted an earlier book in the discworld series.
If you wanted to stick to sci-fi, The Stars my Destination is one of my favorites, it’s a modern count of Monte Cristo. Speaker for the dead is also one of my favorites, the sequel to enders game.
Haven’t watch the video yet, but I remember how impressed my step dad was with the blue LED when we got our PlayStation 2. I was like, yeah great whatever let’s play games, at the time.
Pratchett has hermit elephant’s in one of his books (I think reaper man). It’s not uncommon to wake up and discover you’re surrounded by a small wandering village.

The first one was pretty great, I couldn’t get through the second though and actually heard good things about the third. The second put me off even trying the third.
Both can be good, but used carefully. The 2nd and 3rd season of the Orville had some of the best space action I’ve ever seen and gave me the same feelings as the dominion war in ds9. Discovery never had any space action that got me remotely excited.
But drumhead, measure of a man etc are crazy good too.
I fully welcome Orville into the Star Trek fandom. It’s clear that Seth wanted to make an awesome star Trek show and sold it as a comedy to get airing in my mind. I think he did a fantastic job, for sure the best new trek I’ve seen, although I haven’t tried brave new worlds yet.

How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?
