In them days Linux was even more about messing around with configurations and finding workarounds. It came on floppies, and as it loaded it made these kind of grinding, farting sounds. We would install it with an onion tied to our belt - which was the style at the time.
More than that I think society still doesn’t talk about addiction in a useful, healthy way very often. Alcohol being so ingrained in many cultures that it’s basically invisible to many people.

If you’re equating culture with movies and . . . Broadway? Then, uh, yeah I guess? To a large extent movies and Broadway and televised advertisement appeal to and thus reflect some liberal positions, sure. In a necessarily very non-threatening, centrist kind of way.
But that manufactured media of movies, tv, Broadway shows and the rest is an input to the actualculture in which humans usually live, and it ain’t liberal in a lot of the swing states. Turns out, there’s plenty not-liberal movies, tv, and . . . okay maybe not Broadway, ya got me there.
Liberal elite media establishment - thats some Russia Today language, man. Or Fox News. Same thing, I guess.

This was the deal in 2000. It’s been 24 years of marveling at how many people just - give all their shit away. Don’t even think about it. And then have the balls to complain when they get screwed.
Considering we have had almost a decade since the 2016 russian interference and absolutely sweet fuck-all has been done about that, I’m not surprised.
Like, they literally planted a corrupt moron in office and loaded up the judiciary with rapists and fascists, overturned a ton of environmental and consumer protections, gave trillions away to the richest people - all illegitimate, all should be walked back - nothing. A report. Detailing it all. That’s it.
This is the state where the governor was the Secretary of State and threw a bunch of Democrats off the rolls and then closed a bunch of Democrat-leaning voting places and then resigned a month before magically being elected as governor?
That state? The same state where the FBI asked to see the voting machines after the 2016 election because of all the russian hacking into voting places and they “accidentally” wiped all the machines a day after getting the request? That state?
