…and if we go by consensus of the longitudinal population, India and China have the most people believing it’s 4:20 when it’s 4:20 in those places.
New Zealand and Greenland have the least number of people believing it’s 4:20 when it’s 4:20 in those places:
It’s always 4:20 on at least two longitudes on the globe.
The world’s boycott of Russia resulted in Chinese brands getting a super strong foothood there. Shows how important maintaining a country’s manufacturing base is.
Yeah, just take their well known public transport system, or take six months and tour the country by bicycle. \s
If you had four to six months to learn and practice you might be ready enough, if your trip is sooner I wouldn’t recommend it.
Do you have a friend who can dedicate long two hour session to it? If so you might get it in ten hours or so of practice… But they’d have to be a good teacher (be able to teach you how/when the flywheel is taking up the momentum).
The Libre Office Suite is better, and Free Open Source Software (FOSS).
Sewer mutants cooking up some grub.
Don’t forget all that Uranium they stole from the US under operation Apollo, or their plan to bomb overseas US/UK venues, I think it was the Lavon Affair…
…or the US citizens killed during the attack on the USS Liberty… Or the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell’s father Robert is a Mossad agent!
All that harm done to the US and Presidents are still friendly with them. What a mental illness.
Yeah it’s crazy. What’s that line: To the privileged any attempt at equality is going to look like a loss of privilege.
Something like that. I’m pretty sure they just want to harm come to groups they’re prejudiced against. Even more insulting is I’m pretty sure the Trump administration has a lot of drink and drug related parties, Trump spent his youth in nightclubs, Musk is addicted to ketamine and Grimes mentioned them tripping on acod together.
So it’s debauchery at the top, austerity for everyone else. It’s a real let them eat cake they’re doing. Not serious or good people at all. Very little in the way of mprals or ethics, it’s all about power, privilege, politics, and personal gain.
The problem is their spin isn’t designed to be positive or have mass appeal. It’s designed to create fervent followers who are desperate for something different and a sense they’re winning.
In your example I believe the response for them would be something along the lines of “Good, women shouldn’t be getting special treatment anyways - END DEI !!!”
But they also think you’re in an alternative reality because of “leftist reactionaries” over blowing things in the media. Some of them would probably go as far to say that “We need anti-propaganda laws against the left wing media”…
…the problem for the left is, the right wing “alternative facts, alternative media landscape” is unfortunately MORE REAL in a legal sense because they own SCOTUS, and SCOTUS want to institute Unitary Executive theory… Which is what they’re doing.
It’s a very clean sounding bunch of words for a kind of fascism.
They’ll say a mix of “He’s clearly not guilty because nothing stuck! Teflon Don!” and “You shouldn’t go after politicians personal lives” and “Sucks for you he’s President now! You’re just a sore loser.”
…that might make you mad, which they enjoy.
They don’t think Trump and Musk are doing anything wrong. When quizzed they’ll ask you to name anything they’ve done wrong.
Everything Trump and Musk are doing is guised in Libertarian and Conservative values.So nothing wrong has been done on their eyes.
If you go places like r/JordanPeterson (to ask) and r/Conservative to observe the media landscape - you’ll see that “The Woke” are wrong and have turned violent against Tesla. You’ll see Trump and Musk are thought of as doing great things.
That’s how they think. They’re not in the same media landscape as everyone else is.
Yes, people do wander towards Idiocracy. Don’t mistake my pointing that out as advocating for it. I’m just explaining my view of why some claim Linux “isn’t ready”.
One solution would be to have GUI and console options. So people who want to learn more about console commands can.
A deep OS allows for that. But right now the topic is; what do the masses interpret as “Ready” in an OS.
Opinions don’t have citations, they’re opinions. That’s why you didn’t include citations for yours either.
Would you agree that if you need to use the Registry Editor, Windows isn’t ready for mass adoption?
No, because this statement shifts the goal posts. I specified a time frame in what I said (first three months), now you’ve dissolved that requirement. But also, RegEdit does have a graphic interface (all be it a bad one) so doesn’t fit the idea that people equate console commands with unfinishedness.
So no, I disagree. To many users I think even a bad UI beats “oh no, blank window I have to know what to type!”…
… it’s the fear of not being smart enough or not knowing what to type. People want the answers to just come to them, or be intuitive.
Somewhere a Gen-Z or Gen Alpha is reading this on a tablet and has no idea why anyone owns a computer - they’re thinking “Computers are dumb, because they’re just large outdated clunky looking tablets”
…and somewhere in the past there was probably an old man, angry at the fact that modern keyboards will never match the elegance and typing skills found by using a type writer. Lamenting that people have lost their mechanical understanding of things because they’ve never had to replace a ribbon when it’s lost its ability to pick up or put down ink as it should.
You’re standing between these two arguments (thinking you’re correct)… when the arguments (and ones like them) stretch all the way back in time to the first technoologies, and all the way forwards into the future, to the last of them, or as far as the mind can see.
Most people’s measure of whether it’s ready is “How soon until I have to type into a console to get something done”.
If it’s within the first three months - then it’s not ready.
So your issue is just that the left/right categories are very broad to the point of not being that useful.
You’ve basically said; why do Christian conservatives in America, support the Holocaust?
Then everyone’s gone… what do you mean?
… and your answer is “well, the German Nazis in 1942, and the American Christian conservatives are both on the right”.
Or “why are all these dogs meowing?”… Dogs and cats are both animals, so same thing right?
No, not really. So you’re being downvotes because of your lack of nuance.
Why are far left communists pro-Russia… Is a very different set of assumptions than “why are leftists all supporting dictatorships?”
Looks more like a .midi file.
Wikipedia was The Encyclopedia Brittanica, and you bought a set of them, and the book shelf they were on, from the TV.
Part of why the economy still worked, people still needed physical things.
