If it makes you feel any better, there’s no shortage of Mandarin or Cantonese speakers in the world, so you shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t want to speak them yourself.

Maybe figure out if any of your ancestors spoke any of these, and learn that instead?

Pick any of the more popular ones at random; it really doesn’t matter that much.

Ebikes are less important when you don’t have hills to deal with.

WWIII is due to start next year.

It’s BAD in the sense that Scouting has largely become (arguably always had been) an MLM run by and for the benefit of a few connected business savvy insiders.

Could be worse: could be Girl Scouts.

Seriously though, if both Girl Scouts and “Scouting America” suck, is there some other alternative (short of not participating in a scouting-like organization at all)?

At this point, calling Trumpists “lunatics” is an insult to the moon. We need new superlatives to express the depths of how fucked up they are.

Remember when you guys had Carter and he was in hot shit until he sold his fucking peanut farm or whatever?

Let’s be clear about this: Carter was never “in hot shit” about his farm. Carter put his farm in a blind trust proactively because he respected the emoluments clause and interpreted it broadly.

There’s nothing more permanent than a “temporary” fix.

Yes, most other countries’ aircraft carriers are diesel-powered and don’t have the energy budget to run steam (or electromagnetic) catapults the way the US’ nuclear-powered carriers do, so they use ski jumps instead and make do with lighter aircraft.

For more info, look up “CATOBAR” and “STOBAR”. Edit: or “STOVL” in the case of the carrier pictured, the HMS Prince of Wales.

As long as you’re whining to the game publishers, not Linux people who are not only technically unable but also legally prohibited from doing anything about it.

It’s important to place the blame where it belongs.

More like Parabola, judging by the trajectory!

Except Linux isn’t the dark side; Windows is. They are being freed from their cell, not entering it.

*from, you mean. Welcome from the dark side.

Choices which don’t matter nearly as much as people like to pretend they do, no less.

If you’re having trouble deciding, just pick a popular (general-purpose) distro at random. Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Mint, Bazzite, even Arch – whatever, it’ll be fine, don’t worry 'bout it.

It’s pretty much just like installing Windows, except minus the parts where they force you to create a Microsoft account and badger you to accept spying and such.

Freeze? Nah, it’ll keep chugging along 'til you reboot (or otherwise try to run a new program), and then won’t be able to start.
