Driving is the most expensive and dangerous way to get around, ironically championed by the party of “fiscal responsibility”.
Train tracks would have been cheaper to build (and maintain), take up far less space and be far better for the local economy. Hell, just investing the money on buses would have been far more efficient.
“If we suddenly kicked out all of the people here, the undocumented, our dairy farms would collapse,” one lawmaker said. “We have to come up with a solution.”
This is also the result of the fact that getting around without a car is likely impossible in most cases so the only option is illegals driving illegally.
It’s a great learning experience, but impractical as hell. I remember the exact moment I decided to stop daily driving it. I was using my laptop for work, trying to convince my boss to let me keep using my Linux box instead of the windows horseshit they wanted to make me use. I was on a Slack huddle and trying to use my Bluetooth headphones, but they wouldn’t even connect. Over an hour later I had figured out that Bluetooth didn’t start by default and required being started manually from systemd. Nothing in the GNOME UI indicated any of this. Soon I was using a Windows computer that could at least connect to fucking Bluetooth out of the box 😐
I love Arch. It made me a much better Linux dev. It’s impractical as hell for a daily driver.
Agree, it’s great for gaming or using custom kernels and such. It’s an excellent base because it generally goes with the defaults provided by package maintainers.
These strengths are also weaknesses though, because oh my god I just want to connect my Bluetooth headphones and use them for the most obvious use case without needing to look up and enter commands in the terminal.
And I say this as a lifelong hobby amateur computer scientist. It’s not that I’m afraid of the CLI, it’s just that defaults are kind of nice sometimes. Arch is great because it’s an un-opinionated Linux install, but it also refuses to make anything “plug and play” which is more than a little painful.
I…don’t remember posting this. Sorry dude, drunk me decided he didn’t like your question. I had a lovely night too this was just me being a dick on the train for no reason.
Many terrorists are Muslims, but not all Muslims are terrorists.
Nazis are terrorists. All of them. They may not be the ones committing violence directly, but anyone willing to call themselves “Nazi” are still supporting terrorists with their votes, their social media posts, or their wallets.
Religious people can still be good people despite their superstitions. Nazis cannot, because Nazism itself is about hate, fear and violence.
leftists care about human life Durr hurr so stupid
Weird flex from a conservative whose magic sky man says you’re supposed to care about human life, but ok. Not like faith is logical anyway.
It’s also not contradictory to think Palestinians shouldn’t be second class citizens in their own country, while also not giving a fuck about people’s gender and thinking they deserve the right to live their lives however they want.
Conservative media just bombards you 24/7 with trannies don’t they? It’s like every time a con posts it’s something about trannies, no matter how unrelated. What a strange thing for definitely straight real alpha conservative big boys to obsess over all the time. Less than 1% of the population yet you choose to bring them up everywhere you go…
