It is not mental illness to recognize the threat of the confederacy or successionists. And Sherman was right. We should have massacred all white slave owners when we won the war.

We don't need anything aside from the word, and you are right about the Israelis.

But you can go fuck yourself for using divisive language like 'libtard'. One, how are we supposed to work with you or even talk to you when you use such a childish and insulting term? And two, it's not even accurate. Conservatives consistently prove they're the idiots.

Let's just take one example. The economy. Every Democrat in the last 100 years has improved the economy, and every Republican has harmed it. It's because Democrats invest in people through empowering unions and raising minimum wages. Trickle down economics has been proven to not work for almost 60 years now and conservatives still push that bullshit.

It's like that on every issue. You're just wrong.

Israel is their 'promised land'. It is more about religion than people would like to admit.

And while I agree there are a fair amount of Jewish people that are essentially like lapsed Catholics and Christians that don't buy the full text word of the Bible/Torah, it is essentially wrong to argue that it is NOT a part of their religion when it absolutely IS.

Same. I adopted a google account a long time ago, but I've finally hit my limit on what they've been doing with youtube and everything. Free and open source alternatives are the way to go, it may take a while to catch on or may never fully, but who cares. Switching to linux recently was the best thing I've ever done.

I'm drawing some very obvious parallels in how they were treated and how they treat the Palestinians.

...because the Zionist Jew-Nazis of Israel have absolutely zero respect for any defined borders. They've defied the ones set up in 1938, 1947, and again in the 60s when the UN stepped in again. You can look at the progression maps over time, that 100% is the Jew-Nazis violating repeatedly the treaties set.

Let's start calling them what they are. The Jew-Nazis.

You have no idea the temptation I have to do just that. A satellite connection and a remote job for income and I'd be good. A family member is up in Alaska already, he's got a plot of land with a natural gas deposit that wasn't large enough or near enough to a populated area for the US gov to care about. So they've got it tapped and have a pretty ideal setup. They bought my grandfather's tractor a while ago an old restored 1912 John Deere.

I do enjoy the comforts of living near everything. I'm not sure I could give up having 100s of restaurants to choose from and a dozen or more grocery stores in a 10 mile radius. Or the specialty delis, high speed gigabit, and other comforts of civilization.

If your stream is at the max setting that's comfortable and you move around a bit and make sure to get the whole area I've got nothing for you other than a recommendation to up the fiber in your diet.

I did get a nicer one that can just about peel the skin off on the highest setting, but even the lower quality one I have on the main bathroom downstairs gets me completely clean. I do tend to use it longer than 30 seconds, I'm pretty thorough about the rinse process.

Dude for real. A cheap bidet attachment for your toilet is the way to go.

First off, a bidet is better than toilet paper. I've been using it for years, and it cleans you 100%. I use basically 1 square of TP to dry myself after, and it's always completely clean. If you had a bird shit on your arm would you just wipe it off with paper and call it a day?

I laughed at all my friends who made fun of me for getting one on all my toilets after the great TP shortage of 2021, and a few of them ended up switching over.

For the apocalypse I have a camping toilet with a foot operated bidet. I mean I already use it when car camping, and I have a hand bidet for backpacking.

Solar panels are also in play. I also bought a freeze dryer and have about 5 deers worth of freeze dried jerky, and buy and freeze dry on sale fruit and veggies pretty regularly. I try to maintain around a 1-2 year supply of on hand food. A few steel plates, ar-15 pistol, and enough ammo to hold off the upper floor for quite a while too, but that's another conversation. I'm as ready to go as I can though, let's do this.

I really miss old school MTV though. I feel like, for a time, bands were doing some crazy music videos that were as much works of art as the music itself.

ASUS routers chose to make their USB share Samba V1 for some reason, as do other home NAS plug and play servers.

Thanks for the extension!

I may give it a shot later. Right now I just spent 4 days getting things set up and to a point where I'm comfortable with it's use. So I may settle down for a bit right now and just learn to use Pop even more. I like it overall, just had a few small annoyances like the desktop shortcut thing. But other than that everything is just working right now, which has not been my historical experience with Linux.

I just want an experience that's as dumbed down GUI-heavy and easy to use as Windows, and so far this is fitting the bill nicely.

I started with Fedora which was a bad time all around. Even their Nobara special release for Nvidia users geared towards gaming was completely unfunctional on my rig.

I'm on Pop!OS which I like. Most things were done easily, however I have a router that does Samba shares on the LAN and it uses Samba V1 which required some extensive configuration on linux to get operable.

The Quaran, Torah, and Bible all have passages on killing atheists.
