We The People do not recognize your small group as independent. You are living in our society, utilizing our roads, our commercial infrastructure. Your declaration of independence is nonsensical so long as you are dependent on the rest of us.

Some of y’all motherfuckers need to take a goddamn civics class.
Or, and hear me out on this: terrorist doesn’t mean “fucking anything ever”. The term actually only refers to those who use or threaten unlawful violence in an attempt to achieve an effect that could only be lawfully acquired through executive, legislative, judicial, or democratic processes.
If I wanted your clothes, I wouldn’t have left them at goodwill.
“Disrespectful” would be telling you that you in particular should continue to use windows or mac, and avoid Linux like the plague.
Do you actually want to run an application that doesn’t exist on Linux?
I use a virtual machines for the 2 or 3 times a year I need to use a couple garbage windows-only programs. Usually for configuring some arcane piece of proprietary hardware that people were getting rid of because it is incompatible with everything.
Uh huh.
I have zero doubt that you would call 911 should the “need” arise. So you’re a terrorist as well. As am I. There is literally zero distinction between you, me, and Mohamed Atta.
A puppy would qualify as a terrorist. A house cat. A sheep. A blackberry bush. An amoeba qualifies as a terrorist under this insane definition.
By that argument, a “no shirt, no shoes, no service” policy is terrorism. “$1000 fine for littering” is terrorism. “Keep off the grass” is terrorism.
Considering that only 2% is not Hydrogen or Helium
I assume that claim comes from:
The abundance of chemical elements in the universe is dominated by the large amounts of hydrogen and helium which were produced during the Big Bang. Remaining elements, making up only about 2% of the universe
I kind of doubt that hydrogen or helium comprise 98% of the mass of the 48 tons of meteors per day. I kinda suspect that the 48 tons of meteors are comprised almost entirely of “other” elements.
“Renting” needs to die in a goddamn fire, and I know how to kill it: An Owner-occupant credit against property taxes. If you live in a home you own, you receive the credit, which holds or lowers your property taxes. Someone who owns a home but doesn’t live in it is ineligible for the credit.
With that credit in place, we increase property taxes (and the credit) every year that the owner occupancy rate is less than 80%.
Now, every real estate investor is pushing for tenants to become “buyers”, and offering land contracts, private mortgages, or converting the property to condominiums, in order to secure that credit.
“But they’ll just pass on the tax increase to tenants!” They will try. But, with all the other landlords fighting to put occupants on deeds, who is going to insist on paying a premium for a rental instead of just buying outright?
Blonde = female; blond = male
50% of people are going to be dumber than average because in normal distributions the mean is the median. The “general population” is not smart by any definition.
What if “smart” begins at the 35th percentile, rather than the 50th? What if “gifted” is anything above the 50th percentile?
Every machine I’ve purchased in the last 16 years has had a Linux liveCD or USB key before first power up. Windows has tried to boot a couple times, when I was too slow to figure out how to select a boot device, but none has actually completed the boot process. I take a sort of perverse pleasure in formatting pre-installed windows without it ever having run.
Wow, I actually forgot about Vista. I never actually had it installed on anything. XP was the last OS I had installed on hardware. Win 7 was the first I knew only from VM installations.
Straw that broke the camel’s back? Every vertebra in that camel’s back has been smashed with a sledge hammer over the past 30 years.
Windows 95 was the last version I was excited about; Windows 98 SE was the last version of Windows I willingly purchased, and XP was the last one I willingly used. When they announced Win7, I downloaded Ubuntu 6.06, “Dapper Drake”. Since then, Windows has only existed on my computers as pirated, virtual machines.

“noyb” is a European privacy rights organization, who appears to prefer to style their name with lowercase letters. The name is an acronym for “none of your business”.
Greedy people should be put in the pot.
Gotcha. You’re a connoisseur of religious philosophy. You know that it can only be called “god” if it comes from a specific region in France. Every other worldview is “sparkling belief”.
