No I agree, unless they are interested in learning.

Yes it’s worth it many times over. I learned Linux on arch like 15 years ago. :) Its been paying off enormously during my career and private hobby life. Last windows I ran at home was windows 7.

I’ve gotten this comment 10 times over the last year or so. :)

Not for a newbie who wants to learn. Arch is actually not difficult at all, just time consuming. If you do a manual install, you have to read about every step and make choices.

Thats how you learn your system. After install, you know exactly what files you modified and where they are if you want to make further changes.

I think it’s a beautiful system. Its not for people who just want a windows replacement though. It’s for people who wants to know their system.

People don’t realize the power that comes from actually knowing how your system works. It’s the same as learning any skill. It gives a feeling of confidence and comfort.

We can’t do anything except talk about it to vent and feel like others understand the same thing.

Awareness of how perverted the ruling class is has spread, but its also not going to make any difference, since you can’t vote these people away.

I think the only difference now vs before is that more people know that the world works this way, and it’s not how we are told in school at all. But we are stuck with these leeches at the top.

You can still live your life though and focus on being happy. We dont have to react every day to whatever the circus does.

You saw we a lot in your comment, but its a certain kind of person that is attracted to money and power. Not everyone.

Many would be completely fine to have enough money for a good life without luxary. The endless greed is not that common. It’s a mental disorder.

I really think 99.99% of people would be super happy to just be rich enough to have a car, a house, and good food. We don’t need very much. People just dont want to be poor.

Trusting experts is a worse problem, because you can simply pay and choose experts with the right opinions to go on tv. Which is what we have now. They always pick some idiot on the other side of the argument as well, to make you think there is an actual debate. Its not.

It’s insane that this was from 1909. Mind blowing. I should read the entire book…

No, hell is loneliness and that’s what humanity gets if it goes down the Ai / dystopian route. We can see in China today how people are suffering from loneliness despite having tech to order food and items and having them delivered in hours.

When googling on this, I find more people. Here is a old pastor who did the same:

Lol. What a ridiculous comment. Unless it’s a joke. Hard to tell.

Yes. We are both biggots. And I think everyone is, looking at that definition.

Only very mature people are tolerant of opinions they dont agree with. Depends of course on what does tolerant mean? If you argue against it, are you tolerant?

I let a lot of people here have their weird opinions. :)

I’ve noticed that some people just have some built in resistence to learning about stocks. It keeps them poor and it’s almost as they want that. At the same time, some kids learn about stocks in their teens and start getting experience and then they invest through their entire life, seeing their money grow.

Its interesting see that attitude. Someone put it there. I would highly recommend challenging your views on this.

Bigot - a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own.

How are you not a bigot with the statement above?

It’s horrible. I would also play along under your circumstances but if I don’t absolutely have to, I will not send any identification to big tech companies or online sites in America. I’m swedish and I don’t need to use any American sites.

I will give up YouTube, email, search engines… And replace them with any option without this bullshit.

Said by a man called Clem.

Alright. Now let’s talk about what Google is doing. :)

Pretty damn evil company if you ask me.

At some point, you realize that companies will always do things you don’t agree with, and you try to pick the lesser evil.

As for homophobic, i dont know if you mean same sex marriage? The bible clearly says:

Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

So to Christian people, its not homophobic, it’s about their beliefs. Clearly religions will have things that you must not do, and this is one of those for Christianity.

Abortion is another hot topic. There are many of these that are not based on hate, but on belief systems. I really think it’s getting too much with calling everyone who doesn’t agree homophobic. It’s the new conspiracy theorist. :)

:). Yes many problems.

If you buy one, it will be worth twice as much in a year…

I hope I’m wrong.
