"A dedicated gaming system with an available OS that most people will never directly access has slightly more users than an operating system that is openly antagonistic to most games" is one of the weirdest flexes I've seen from the Linux community, and I've been around it for about 20 years.

Oh man, if only we had statistics from countries where porn is banned, or some sort of scientific study from multiple countries where porn was banned and then unbanned to see what the change was...

Spoiler: They'll probably go up slightly.

Here in Texas you'll see job posts from one clearly triggered right-wing small business owner paying $7.25 an hour, talking about how if you're working there you're WORKING there followed by a list of like 400 things you'll be doing.

This will be next to a job post from an actually sane individual that's paying more than twice as much for 1/4th of the effort, and you're still being overworked.

They don't want employees, they want indentured servants.

Well buddy, you're in luck because today you get to stop griping about something that's been part of SI units for the entirety of SI units.

The spirit is quite clearly that rape and abuse numbers will likely go up slightly anywhere porn is banned.

Nobody said "drastically."

Oh yeah, totally makes more sense to say "it's 3/64ths of an inch" than "it's 2 millimeters." Completely reasonable.

So reasonable, in fact, that in most manufacturing that still uses imperial measurements they long ago abandoned fractions and moved to decimal inches.

Which leads to unholy abominations such as the wood shop sending over "cut off 3/64ths" and the metal shop cutting off 0.046875".

Because when someone says "COME HERE" they're making the statement that whatever you're doing is pointless shit that can be dropped immediately.

I didn't tolerate that with my parents, and I sure as shit wouldn't tolerate it with a spouse. If you can't be bothered to give me a reason to go there, don't fucking tell me to go there.

"Hey, check this shit out!" - Fine. Implies it's on my own time. "Could you come in here?" - Fine. A request can be denied. "Come here." - I'm not your fucking dog.

THIS GUY IS A RIGHT-WING TROLL, JUST CHECK THE POST HISTORY.

BLOCK AND MOVE ON.

You'll have people here recommending specific brands or manufacturers.

Don't fall victim to this. Brands change. Manufacturers change.

Learn how to recognize a good product from bad.

Currently, right now, I can recommend the first version of the LTT backpack. The construction is solid. Gusseted and reinforced frickin' everywhere. The straps are solid. They're attached to the main body of the pack with thick, heavy fabric and not just sewn directly on. They're also reinforced with rivets. The zippers are solid. The interior has a couple of soft pockets for scratch-prone items. There are multiple laptop/document sleeves. The main compartment is way larger than it first appears. The only issue I've had was with the shitty carabiner-style zipper pulls that everyone knew would break. Replaced them with some paracord. Problem solved.

I have no doubt this particular backpack will last me forever. But that's no guarantee anything they make in the future will.

Do not worry about point of origin. Quality can come from anywhere. Shit can come from anywhere. It's all down to the what the brand and manufacturer are looking for.

Watch out for "bait and switch" brands that pop up out of nowhere, sell direct only, and initially offer a very well made product. So many times they find some modicum of success and then immediately turn to offering multiple tiers of products, with their initial "good" products skyrocketing in price as they push the margins higher and higher. There are a TON of small shoe brands that fit this bill, unfortunately.
