Trump Congratulates Leader of English-Speaking Country for His Good English

Reply in thread

I’m more interested in why the nation thought that voting for a man who is (at least) politically retarded would have been a great thing in any way, shape or form. Like no one would hire someone who has never touched a computer in their life as CTO of some company; but we would vote Donald trump into one of the most powerful positions in the nation with no real credentials, experience or education in law and governance at all. Baffles me.

Once this nightmare is over

Well, right now it seems to be going the other way around, as we begin to remove and rewrite American history to our liking -- largely exclud9ing slavery and the near genocide of the native American population, Jim Crow, Civil Right and much more.

Furthermore, we need to address why, as a democracy, we voted for an icon for racism, sexism and incompetence; and what that says about where we are at right now. However, we can't seem to agree on the color of shit once it is known that one is engaging with he opposite side. How can we hope to have such grand conversations when we can't even have the most elementary ones?

3 Million Installs, Only €100/Month: Bottles Needs Your Support!

I am similar.

I have found the process to be rather overly complicated; though I do recognize some benefit in more granular control in certain areas. Between running different versions of wine and proton, I have been able to do everything I've needed to and wanted to do with far less steps and time invested into the setup. I haven't really thought about bottles again until now.

However, I do think that it is important to support projects like these anyway -- as gaming on Linux is one of the few consistent barriers for people switching over from windows or mac; just because it isn't my cup of tea or that I personally don't see the benefit of it doesn't mean that there isn't a whole community of people who prefer to use bottles and enjoy the fine control over runners and such. In a larger sense, I think supporting them would be supporting gaming on Linux as a whole.

That's interesting. I think this country was built on massively shifting zeitgeist, from the revolution and all the things it has produced that seemed radical at the time like the declaration of independence and the constitution and its initial amendments; to the recent civil rights movement -- especially with movements like the Black Panthers. Major social zeitgeist shifts have been this countries bread and butter since its very origin.
