It’s because they don’t want any candidates that want to make actual changes, they want to perpetuate the status quo. So radicals get filtered and slandered until no one is left who can fight back. The only time someone else gets through is when they can capture enough public attention that the Dems can’t smear them out of the running.

Or that’s what it looks like from the outside. I haven’t lived in the US in years, so maybe I’m way off nowadays.

Love seeing this when it’s posted but that one about oil prices is aging like milk lately, hahaha.

Control + Shift + V pastes as plain text.

Holy fuck this is some top tier niche humor

Yeah, tell me about it on the price. I’m tempted to just bite the bullet on low framerates to see if prices come down, but this upgrade is already close to a year out anyway, so who knows. Maybe it goes up? Maybe society collapses, haha.

I’ve never ended up upgrading RAM in a laptop, though. Is soldered versus not soldered really that huge of a deal? I mean, outside of what you mentioned here regarding the price.

Oh wow, that’s actually super helpful! Thanks!

People walk around smashing themselves in the dick with a hammer, complain about the dick-smashing hammer, and lament the future dick-smashing hammer update, and the moment someone says, “Hey, have you tried these non-dick-smashing, hammer-free pants?” And they say, “Hahaha, do you also do CrossFit?”

This joke is stolen valor, I only just swapped to Linux like two days ago and I haven’t had the opportunity to blurt it out to people yet.

Yo, so first of all, congrats on being able to ditch Windows! Second of all, I got hype-convinced to make the switch a few days ago and I have LOVED it. Moving from Windows to Mint (at least so far) was a breeze. There’s a tiny bit more thought overhead that goes into fixing things sometimes, but if I’m really honest about that, I had a lot of that with Windows, too, I just have decades of fixing Windows experience.
