No bedframe, no nightstand, only one monitor and it's tiny as hell

This looks like a prison, get me out

Counter-suggestion (and this applies to everyone with an Android regardless of gender dating anyone else regardless of gender), do use your Android phone in front of your date because that weeds out psychos who would reject you over not owning their preferred product.

I don't think it's Linux.

I think Tim Sweeney is just like all of the big publicly traded companies where they do not want the best thing for their customers and only want to control them.

Valve, and thus Gabe Newell, is actually making pro-consumer choices, which is success that Tim Sweeney wants.

I think the grudge is against Gabe Newell and Valve.

There is a chance that Tim Sweeney would actively shit on Linux anyway, since that would reduce control over consumers (and yes with all of the deceptive practices Epic does and how they fight lawsuits in court, they definitely are not trying to give control to the users).

Fortnite loads fine on Linux but closes after reaching the main menu. It doesn't crash, it closes. They're actively blocking the community from self-supporting.

Don't forget that when you search you also need to wade through AI-generated SEO trash that doesn't actually tell you which service it's on.

Boo fucking hoo. Mozilla isn't a saint and could benefit from a shake up as well. Mozilla's dependency on Google is dangerous for all of us.

The biggest loser if the DOJ doesn't win is literally everyone.

I will bite whatever bullet I have to if it means the end of Google hegemony.

I actually work harder (in general) than before because now I don't have to commute, 1-2 hours more a day I can spend getting stuff done

I dropped my sub. Was paying roughly $7.50/mo for 2 years for the legacy bundle and they nearly tripled it to $18.99/mo.

Of all my streaming services, I literally do not watch ESPN, and barely use Hulu and Disney. I could justify $7.50 by stretching the definition of justification, but $18.99 is more than I pay for streaming services I use regularly.

I think the point is that the kids don't care and the only people complaining are the adults who don't feel completely comfortable.

Exactly, why would you vote for a party that is telling you how to raise your kids and what you can do in your own bedroom, i.e. why vote for the GOP, who do exactly that?

If the GOP doesn't outright restrict you, they let their corporate sponsors do it directly.

I'm not addressing the racist part of the post with this, just the "less government involvement" part:

  • anti-porn laws
  • educational restriction laws
  • abortion restriction laws
  • contraceptive restriction laws
  • laws attacking encryption

The list goes on (and I'm sure there are more laws passed that I'm forgetting about) but the first four categories are heavily pushed by the GOP and the last one they are still co-sponsors on (Lindsay Graham and Diane Feinstein both suck). Some of the laws that are being passed are even designed to restrict constituents even when they aren't in the state, and some even restrict their ability to LEAVE the state.

GOP is not the "less government" party, they are the "less government that allows things I don't like and more government that forces everyone in line" party. There really isn't a "less" government party, they're all just "different" government parties.

PS: Adding "PS: Trump sucks" at the end doesn't magically give everything else you said credence.
