It takes a first grade reading level to draw the correlation between illegal prisons camps and concentration camps. Everyone else got there but you. Read a history book.

We don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Ubuntu is absolutely a beginner friendly OS. If I give a computer to somebody that knows nothing more than how to turn it on, Ubuntu will be no more difficult for that person to surf the internet than it would be in Windows. I’ve been teaching people how to use their computers for more than half my life and the vast majority of problems are ignorant people on Windows. Linux isn’t inherently more difficult to use, it’s just different. For adept Windows users, switching and expecting to be just as familiar is where it gets more tricky.

Same thing here. There was a big update earlier this year that made it so I can use Wayland, where before that, it was impossible. At this point, I can’t tell you the last time I’ve had any GPU related issues. Further, I believe that Nvidia is now working with Linux for driver support, so it should get even better going forward.

I agree, but potentially rescuing a child from abuse, to me, is worth the low risk. Inaction is complacency.

You’re making the assumption that there’s a 100% chance that they will get shot. Cops suck, but they don’t shoot 100% of the time.

I thought I saw or read that their special forces were using snorkels to sneak in the water. I know that doesn’t answer your question, but I wanted to pile on a little.

It’s negotiating 101. Open with the hoop dream so the next option isn’t near as bad. If you get your first option, you win, and if you get the second option, you win a little less.

Sounds like OP did neither. While I dont trust cops at all, statistically, it would have been better to make the call because they more often than not don’t shoot people. And actually, yes, bullets would solve the child abuse problem, just not in a way anybody would want. Can’t abuse a child if you’re dead.

I’d absolutely roll the dice for the child’s safety over the piece of shit parents life.

It sounds like there was child abuse happening. Imo, you made a mistake not calling the police.

Idk how different cat hair is from dog hair, but we have a Rottweiler and a German shepherd husky mix, and we vacuum daily. We have a Roomba that we don’t really use anymore, but it filled up daily with dog hair. Very little loose hair in the house now.

I kind of figured that’s how this process worked, and I’m glad you mentioned it. Now I really hope that you’re right and that there’s no way around it.

Now supply a whole shit load of long range missiles before January.

Biden > Trump, bad mental health or not.

You should have told him to pull over to let you out, not paid him, and reported him. Bonus points to have recorded evidence first.

Assholes like this, regardless of their current situation, hard times or not, should not be allowed to continue doing this. If I go into work, and push code into production without reviews and approvals, I lose my job or at least get reprimanded. Nothing excuses the behavior you’ve described.

No. It takes a truly shallow mind to come to this conclusion. Most of us Democrats understand how politics work and knew it was Trump or Harris once Biden stepped down. That’s it, no third option. Only a true idiot or a Trump supporter (same thing) would think not voting, voting this party, it voting for Trump was in anyway better for Israel, Ukraine, and America.

Yea. You don’t get to charge for the service and push ads. It’s an either or situation. To do both is an immediate disqualifier for me. I already pirate what I want from Prime, even being a member as well. If Youtube premium starts doing ads, I will drop that, return to music piracy or find an alternative less shitty music service, and find a different front end for YT to still get to my subscriptions without ads. I have a sub for the music, but stay for the YT.

You left out, “convicted rapist”.

Yea, because it was definitely the liberals that elected Trump. Harris was not the best option, but any moron that thought not voting for her was the best option this past election, and is now pissing and moaning about Trump winning, are arguably dumber than Trump supporters.
