What exactly is racist about calling someone a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant?

Assuming you're ok with using adb, someone with a Galaxy S8 should be able to remove Facebook (or any other bloatware) even if they don't have root. You'll just need to follow these steps from xda. Only issue with this is anything you remove will come back if you do a factory reset.

I've been using the Lineage OS nightlies for about 1 year. So far I haven't had any issues. But I should note I haven't really done anything too unusual with the system. It just runs some common apps from the Google Play Store. I haven't even enabled root on it.

Speaking of Google Play Store the installation process is still the same as it was last year. Go to https://opengapps.org/ pick the version you want/need and install/sideload it with TWRP (or similar program). Just remember to install the Play Store immediately after you install Lineage on the system. Like, don't reboot into the newly installed OS without installing Google Play Store. Otherwise there may be crashes.

It's a long winded way of saying "no, fuck off."

If Apple makes the throttling the CPU an opt-out feature and warns people of the system stability issues before they can opt out I doubt there will be too many people bitching. And the people who do bitch will probably drowned out by the Apple fanatics I guess that works out.

This seems unlikely. If opening up the Switch is anything like the 3DS then the device owner will have to go out of there way to run/install programs to make the device do what they want. No reason to sell games to the small demographic who'd do that imo.

Actually, as weird as it may seem, the way to raise your credit score in the US is to have the potential to borrow money, but not use it. For example, lets say two people have a credit card with a max limit of $10,000. The person who only borrows $100 each month will have a higher credit score than someone who borrowers $10,000 every month.

Considering all the copyright lawsuits Asian companies like Samsung and Huawei file where on earth are you getting this idea?

Maybe, but I think it isn't likely. The internet is such a minor part of North Korea that taking it out probably didn't do much of anything in terms of productivity or entertainment. I can see people getting yelled at, having to do self criticism sessions, or get fired. But the internet simply isn't important enough for executions. And hell, infrastructure breaks or doesn't work properly there all the time. If they executed people for every mistake the only person alive would be the Dear Leader (who's infallible of course).

Heathen. They are but insects compared to our true Lord and Savior Q. He who weaved His name into the fabric of our very speech.

I think it's one of the problem with our two party system. it makes it so that very few people can be part of a party they truly believe in. Democrats seem to care more about LGBT rights so that's what the demographic tends to support. I guess it helps that persecuting the LBGT group involves outing them instead of quietly restricting them with secret lists. Conversely, I know Christians who are Republicans even though their faith & morals makes them support stronger social safety nets and looser restrictions on immigration.

Yea, but don't you see? This mean he's a better, more pure geek/nerd than the rest of us posers.

Funny thing is, the government already does this to a limited extent. Folks who got home loans/are trying to get a home loan may have heard of something called Debt-to-Income Ratio (though debt to income percentage may be more accurate). This is the ratio between the all the monthly payments someone pays for borrowing money (Loans, Line of Credits, Credit Cards, etc) and their monthly income. If a bank wants to give you a loan that's backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, they must make sure that with the new loan, the borrower's DTI will be within a certain percentage. Typically it's around 43% to 49% depending on a lot of factors.

I baited you (again) for saying that I'm not here for an argument (not "out to get you")? Only way you can call that me baiting you is if you think I'm lying. And yea dude (or dudette), that's being defensive.

There's really two choices available here. You understand their situation and you're judging them. Or, you don't understand their situation and your're judging them. You know, or you don't know. How exactly are these "appalling choices?"

Well, in any event, if you do wish to elaborate on your stance (besides the flippant "who in this life has not been judged") then I will read and try to be civil even if I end up not agreeing with you. But if you just want to throw more insults (ad hominem attacks since we're bringing out the fallacies) then that's cool too.

Rather defensive. For what it's worth, I'm not out to get you. Though I could see why you'd think so since this is /. and all.

My thought preliminary judgement of you was "I hope it's the former." I can kind of get people who look down on others for not doing emotionally as well as them in similar situations (soldiers who look down on other soldiers who have PTSD for exmaple). But if you're just judging someone without knowing their situation, or at least their emotioinal state? Yea, that's being a smug dick. Like a civilian calling a soldier with PTSD weak I suppose.

I'll give you some advice as well. If you fail in a business venture of this magnitude, people WILL judge you as a failure no matter how much they care about you. This is especially true if you stressed your finances and your relationship for the sake of the business. Now those that do care will forgive and move on quickly, but you still hurt them. And finding a better class of people won't take away the sting that they're not the ones that made a mistake, you did.

Now, I imagine you'll point out that no matter how bad one feels, they shouldn't kill themselves (that's weak as you say). All I can say to that is, unless you truly appreciate how depression and stress can erode the rational mind, then judge if you must. But at the same time, be aware that you're judging from ignorance.
