Probably wouldn’t want anything to do with a homeowner either…

Nah, it’s Genesis, she’s holding it upside down…

Seems to be working OK for me on FF with Ublock and Privacy Badger running.

I believe LMDE includes the proprietary stuff you might need and, as others have said, Debian 12 is starting to as well.

For a new user who just wants a good OS to start with, Pop_OS is a fine choice. A little surprised you had trouble with Mint identifying your WiFi card but, I see others have posted on it. Mint is typically my go-to recommendation for new Linux users.

Holy crap, how depraved do you have to be for PornHub to block you?

As I understand it, so far, the courts aren’t disputing that Trump incited an insurrection, they’re disputing if the 14th Amendment applies to the office of the President.

Well, should a Liberal incite an insurrection against the United States, that precedent should be used against them.

Maybe he hasn’t found his face yet? , or all of his donors?

They are, indeed, irony immune…

There should be a horror spin off with Willie Wonka long gone, the Chocolate factory abandoned, and Oompa Loompas going feral. A group of young adults exploring the abandoned factory come to realize that, every time they hear the “Oopa Loompa Song”, one in their group is doomed. They lyrics of the verse provide clues as to who it’s going to be.

Palia is brand new (still in open Beta) It’s more focused on low-key crafting/farming and community, but opportunities to socialize are there.

Guild Wars 2 is my favorite “no subscription required” MMORPG that could work for you (but you have that one).
.
ESO Online is my favorite “subscription” MMO and I’ve met people there.
.
FFXIV is decent for socializing but, the hard-core gamers can stress you out. Works best if you join a low key guild that doesn’t want to speed-run all the duties and crap on you for not being as good as they are.
.
General rule for MMORPGs in general is, find a guild you like and hang with them.

“Plutocracy” is the term for “Financial Oligarchy” BTW. Worth knowing the term if you live in the U.S. since that’s kinda what we have here these days :/

As others have said, U-lock through frame and rear wheel if possible. Otherwise not bad. I’ve also taken to using a motion detector alarm on my last bike packing trip.

If he’s going to dress like the, he’s just asking for it.

I just blame it on being a rolling release ;)

No nothing of the Anime, but enjoyed the first episode.

I don’t know, this person has done a lot of decent things in his life. I’m not inclined to judge him by his worst decision.

You can’t. Furthermore, the consequences of “people pleasing” and “conflict avoidance” can do far more damage than the occasional bad rep. In fact, if you’re consistent about setting and enforcing reasonable boundaries, you’ll ultimately gain more respect in the long run.
