Not passing moral judgment, but if you commit a crime in a country other than yours, that country's authorities will be after you. For a change, this isn't the US being the US

I started with Ubuntu and it was super easy. You can technically use it pretty much the same way you use windows, you're not forced to use the terminal. It's super easy to find step by step tutorials and instructions through a search engine, too.

Jokes on you, you'll have to explain that to all your future partners

Imma spray you with one of those spaying water bottles

My demi experience: yeah sure I enjoy that. I enjoy gaming too. Either is nice to have, but if I can't do it for a year, I won't be thinking about it that much, ya know? I was shocked to find out how much people think about sex, and particularly shocked that they'll see a stranger, acquaintance or friend and literally feel a desire to have sex with them? Like, how many people have imagined they're having sex with me? Ew. Don't do that to me.

A non US one

And here I was feeling bad for confiscating beer from 14 year olds at summer camp at 17 and then drinking it (drinking age 16).

You said you're more of a cultural Muslim than a religious one. How do you think would your life differ if you were religious? Do you think not being religious makes it easier or harder to embrace your traditions? Were you raised religious?

Curious because I personally only like to partake in local traditions that aren't related to religion, because I think being raised religious did more harm than good for me.

In general, incentivizing local production is good for many reasons, like jobs and the environment. It's also one of the (not the only!) reason Switzerland is so wealthy.

I think the problem is that you have to transition and not just impose it immediately. US produced goods often aren't currently affordable to the average American. Make foreign goods unaffordable through tariffs too, and many people will be between a rock and a hard place.

It's also terrible for international relationships to basically cut economic ties at such short notice.

An alternative would be subsidies for small businesses rather than huge global ones, and for sustainable local farming.

Just my two cents as a European who tried to keep up.

Sorry to be that guy, but be careful with these. Everything will seem darker, so you won't shy away from the sun as much, but you still get UV in your eyes, which can damage them. They look really cool though!

Sharing because I was delighted to learn this: trees are also an example of convergent evolution. I'm personally rooting for us to become trees. Pun intended.
