Name recognition is a hell of a thing. It explains why shitty incumbents consistently get re-elected. Also, voters are so fucking stupid.

I started with PowerPPC back in the '90s (it did not even ship with a working X system). Then went to Debian a few years later, and it was great. I played around with Gentoo for a little while when it first came out, then ended up back on Debian after a couple months. Then I played around with Arch for a little when it showed up, then went back to Debian. After that I just said fuck it, and have stuck with Debian. I run testing/unstable unless it’s some side server I have, in that case I just run stable. I hear good things about OpenSUSE and Fedora, but at this point I’m old and don’t feel like trying something when I have no issues. Tiling WM and Vim. That’s about all I seem to need.
I tried FreeBSD for several months about 15-20 years ago. I really liked how clean the filesystem and environment felt, and have suggested it for many people over the years. In the end I couldn’t get around their license vs GPL.
I never even hinted that I was a Hillary supporter, and I agree 100% with all the shit you pointed out. I just think the fucking dipshits that actually voted for her need to be blamed at least as much. Too many bitch about corruption, nepitism, and general fuckery, then go and vote for “their” corrupt politian. It’s fucking gross.
Don’t place the blame on her. Blame the dumb fuck primary voters. Or the dumb fucks who couldn’t be bothered to vote in the primary and then bitched about their shitty choice.
EDIT: Amazing the twists people will go through to excuse dumb ass voters.

Everyone in my family, from my elderly parents to my kid have switched to buckwheat over the past decade or so. Every single one of them loves it. That’s just anecdotal, but for me it was completely worth it.
When the Supreme Court loses all legitimacy, like it has, things get shittier much, much quicker.
Most people underestimate the link between having children and climate change.
This is what most of the schools around my area installed a couple years ago:
I heard Gerald Ford’s son talk about being on Spring Break and a fellow breaker came up to him and whispered,“Man, I don’t know what you did, but you have some Feds watching everything you do!!”
All the Dems I know, which is just about every person I know, don’t’t have a problem with it.

I think the most important context is minimum wage.
In 1982 a full-time job making $3.35 an hour is pulling in approx $6,700 a year. Or 14% of the price of a house.
In 2022, that same worker, working the same number of hours at minimum wage $7.25 an hour is bringing in $14,500 a year. Or 3.5% the price of a house.
The same for groceries. THAT is the fucked up part. It’s what happens when people seem OK with 50 trillion dollars going from the bottom 90% to the top 1% over the past several decades.
I also couldn’t find a better map on that link. The state itself is strikingly partisan, and I can’t imagine a map that wouldn’t reflect that. That could just be my lack of imagination though.
Corporate partners were brought on and more than $1.5 million was raised for the project. . . . No new home for animals was built, the main corporate partner pulled out and no one seems to be able to account for what happened to more than $300,000 that had been raised.
I wonder what happened to the $90,000, I mean if I was given and extra $2,000 I would know where it was. In fact, if this is a problem, I’ll just return the $17 bucks. Jeez.
Maybe you want an ultrawide for some tasks. I can see why people use them, it’s not something I’ve felt I need.
If I’ve learned anything over the years, it is that geriatric power vampires never willingly step down.
