Wisconsin teen allegedly killed parents in extremist plot to assassinate Trump, FBI says
Well that went in a totally different direction than I thought it would. He thinks they're not white supremacist enough?

Poor Brad
Start it at night when his bedroom light goes off for him to sleep. Let it go for approximately 30 seconds after his light turns on so he gets up to check then cut it off. Repeat until you're tired enough that's it's no longer worth the joy. You can also raise the volume slowly when he decides he's going to sleep through it and deal with it tomorrow

Linux Mint isn't the answer for Windows refugees anymore
Because switching from Windows can be intimidating and Mint is the literal opposite of intimidating. It's boring, simple, and clean, thus the perfect stepping stone. At least, it was for me and quite a few others I know. I still install Mint first on new hardware

At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do?
Alone, you are out-manned and out-gunned. Community is probably the best bet as bullies rely on uneven strength for their confidence. They're untrained and want an easy target. Don't give them it

Linux Mint's success also means maintainer stress - The Register
I hope they don't feel pressured to change just because there's more users. They've reached their success by being deliberate and streamlined, it's what makes Mint great. Long live boring and reliable.

SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto'
Sounds like another pump and dump scheme to inflate prices of popular crypto, which trump and his buddies already bought cheap, sell high, and then reverse the process after profits have been made. All this guy knows is money. It's not even the value, just getting a payday is his high.

Introverted rule
This isn't introvert behavior, introverts are normal people who just spend energy in social situations. This is social anxiety, please stop normalizing this stupid ass take.

WTF are you guys doing with your PCs??? I've been running Mint for over a year now and the only time I've used the terminal was to open a port for Chromecast. I browse, I game, I watch shows, etc. maybe I'm just really lucky, idk, it's been nothing but smooth sailing.

Why do people install expensive hardwood flooring in their kitchens, the place where you are most likely to drop food, cutlery, spill liquids, etc?
What the fuck are you doing to your floors?? Hardwood is easy to clean and doesn't crack like tile.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs arrested
The fact that the Pro-Active acne commercial mascot has been the hip hop boogie man for decades is wild. This guy has assaulted and raped women and men, blew up kid cudis car to try and kill him, and is getting called out by Eminem for putting the hit out on Tupac. What the actual fuck.
