Hey, me either, but telling someone "you don't like it? Open your own laundromat or shut up" is some stupid shit.

How do you refer to phones running Android? Calling them Androids is very common.

They would have very little reason to invade taiwan at that point. So they probably wouldn’t.

Not about actually needing a reason to invade, it's about the implication

Just don't be poor you fuckin' loser

Considering there's basically no chance of fucking up the gorilla, I don't think you'd have to worry about the ethics of the situation.

Package managers was one of things that I had hard time adjusting to when I first adopted Linux, since I was so used to just searching for software on the internet, downloading, and installing it when I was using Windows. Now that I'm comfortable with a package manager, I find the Windows experience of installing software to be so much worse. It's so much nicer to just install software using one or two commands in the terminal.

Someone who gives a presentation like this is incapable of summarizing - you will be getting the full presentation.

I think it's both. Alex has the idea that Harriet is too tired to continue in her post, and Harriet becomes increasingly paranoid because she is constantly wondering what the Doctor said, and how it was going to end her political career. Since she's paranoid, she starts acting more and more erratically, which feeds into the 'too tired' narrative, and eventually destroys her career.

Are we talking in circles here?

No. "I avoid passkeys because of Google" is avoiding an entire technology because of a bad implementation. "Passkeys implemented by Google have problems" is only avoiding passkeys implemented by Google, leaving using passkeys still on the table.

Why attack the people for their spending on vices when you could just outlaw the vices. If you care so much about people's morals, then the government should just outlaw alcohol, gambling and anything else deemed an ill use of this money. It's the exact same thing, except you only want the government to police people who you think don't deserve freedom because you consider them lesser.

The point is that the government really shouldn't have any say in which is which. I agree with you that gambling all your money away is a poor financial choice, but that doesn't mean that I think we should ban gambling, because many people enjoy it responsibly. Teaching people financial literacy, and treating addictions is the solution, not policing how people use their UBI.

Definitely look at the library. Mine allows me 20 free pages of B&W, or 10 pages of colour per month. After that it's $0.10 for B&W and $0.20 for colour. Pretty hard to justify actually buying a printer to myself at this point. Definitely not as convenient as having a unit at home, though.
