This doesn't make sense to you because you're not seeing the whole picture. Putin isn't the enemy or Republicans. They're in his pocket. He either bankrolls them, or has sufficient Komprimat on them to keep them in line.
Sarcastic: Indeed.
Wow. So that's how you can actually do sarcasm on the interwebs!
No, I didn't miss that at all. However, the bulk of your post was about the pointlessness of wireless controllers when you're playing close to the TV, and the annoyances of managing batteries. The Xbox breakaway cable was the exception to the rule. Most other controllers were just waiting to drag your whole console to oblivion.
This all sounds great, but it's predicated on the assumption that you'll never have to worry about anyone else tripping over your cords.
I had my kiddo trip over a GameCube cord and ripped my console off the entertainment center, subsequently ripping the AV cables out of the connector. Took me two weeks to find replacement cords for it where I live.
This is now my headcanon. Han is Chewie's goodest boy!
Pets don't get medals!
Except...
Apparently dogs DO get medals, but Chewie gets passed over. Chewbacca has sub-pet status.
Came here for this. I enjoy all three flavors of Mint, personally. XFCE is probably one of the best "lightweight" distros put there and rarely gets mentioned. Cinnamon is perfect for anyone looking for a more user-friendly Ubuntu derivative, and LMDE is probably the most approachable Debian distro out there.
Mint is a great starter distro for just about everybody.
I can understand why you might feel that way, as I did use some generalities. I don't take issue with people of faith, being one myself. I take issue with bigots, idolaters and hypocrites who pay lip service to their "faith" while using cherry picked and deliberate misquotes of scripture to harm others. Especially when those same people can rarely ever directly quote any of Jesus' direct commandments. They sure can quote Paul, though.
This conclusion has nothing to do with the internet. It comes from having to live with these people. It comes from having their vitriol literally screamed in my face. The internet is somehow more sane than the reality I have to live in most days.
I've said this 1,000 times, and I'll repeat it as often as I need to.
The Left is arguing Human Rights. The Right is arguing Property Rights. Conservative values are very clear that women are not seen as independent individuals, but as property of their fathers and then their husbands. Women are chattel. This mentality permeates and pervades every aspect of Conservative ideology where women are concerned. Men must protect women. Not because it benefits the woman, though they will tell women that they should be grateful for the protection. Men must protect their property, they must protect their investment in that woman. It's important to understand that Conservatives view all non-white, non-male, queer, and non-Conservatives as inherently inferior, requiring their guidance and control to conform to their superior ideology, or extermination if they refuse.
View everything they say and do through that lens, and everything makes perfect sense.
