Try building a highway in California today.

Buses are shit. We use them literally only because they allow one expensive driver to convey many people by road. Everything else about them is terrible.

Now price in the cost of highway and freeway expansion to cover the additional traffic, the cost of ecological remediation, etc etc

Can't make kde drag and drop behavior sane

The goal is to turn them into cannon fodder after eliminating all of the jobs.

I do use Debian, but it's still a fact that its versions of a lot of software are very, very old. Like, multiple major versions old. There's very good reasons to not want to run it.

I was running Pop!OS for a while and I was pretty happy with it. I switched to Debian in a vain attempt to get support from Steam, but as it turns out, they just do not provide support to Linux users when their client is failing. They came up with another shitty excuse for why they couldn't help me after I switched to Debian (which they claim to support) and had the same problem, which is when I switched to Devuan.

I don't think that this is true at all. It's just not something people want to pay used car money for. I'd love to have something like it (though I'd rather have a cable than have the battery pack on my head, what a shit idea that is) but I'm not fucking rich.

It's good billionaires are going to have something to spit on us from. I'd hate for them to have to use lung power to do it because they're in a mere limousine.

Sony has digital exclusives you cannot buy on physical media. But more importantly, a "Seller" of a "Product" (THEY are the ones calling it a sale) should not be able to fuck you out of it like this later. They should have to make clear that it is a rental at every step, but that would reduce sales. (If it wouldn't, they wouldn't not be doing that.)

There are two kinds of users without internet access, those who never had it, and those who had it and lost it.

There are also two kinds of idiots...

While this is completely true, we still should want this principle to win even if Leon is a hypocrite whose actions have helped to kill tens of thousands of people and we would like to see him test pilot a leaky rocket.

If we can get our government back then we can use the same principle against him in the future if necessary. If we can't, then we've got bigger problems.

Then the government should fund it.

OK, but how much of that is due to the deliberate dumbing down of the populace by the Republicans since the Reagan era, which we can only combat with more education? Instead of free day care, we should spend the money making school longer, and instead of cramming it with more shit, give more time for personalized instruction and alternate learning methods.

There's not one right way for students to learn, because different people learn best in different ways. The idea that all students will benefit most from trying to learn from books at home is a ridiculous one at best.

After they practiced doing it wrong for an hour at home as their first exposure to the idea? Great plan with no drawbacks!

School districts are tied a model where the executives and consultants can make more than the teachers. It's a travesty and it needs to stop.

The teachers hate it because they're getting fucked over bigly.

The kids hate it because it's shit. If only we allocated funding correctly and didn't fuck over teachers (these things are related) then perhaps they could have decent schooling.

True. It's really fucking stupid to have everyone working more hours than necessary to do more work than necessary because we have so much waste and duplication of effort built into our society specifically to keep us all too tired and busy to revolt.

You didn't address the comment to which you replied AT ALL. Not even a tiny bit.
