War is a racket, even if it’s against your own people. Gun culture and the shootings epidemic, and the subsequent industries that have sprung up as a result like this one, are massively profitable for a small group of people who either work in government or have it financially by the balls via “lobbying” (bribery), and they will always prioritise that profit over your life (or the lives of innocent children, for that matter). Every, single, time.

That’s a lot of words to say you care more about “aesthetic” than you do about the people around you feeling safe.

The system isn’t broken, it’s rigged by design.

Always be projecting. It’s the only thing they know.

I think making marginalised people around you not have to get close enough to check out your emblems before they get the fuck out of your vicinity is orders of magnitude more important than “reclaiming” “cool” uniforms that were never yours to claim in the first place unless you’re a Nazi yourself, and aren’t really cool at all unless you’re in to authoritarianism (and if that’s your kink, whatever, but you don’t get to inflict fear on to non consenting participants with it).

There are plenty of other uniform like cloths for you to wear, deliberately making yourself look like a Nazi isn’t doing positive shit for anyone.

And the entirety of Africa is framed as nothing but both of theirs pawn and playground… 🙄

You’re good, no “gotcha” intended, I just think potatoes are too good to overlook 😁

I’m sure all of this is correct, but you’re forgetting one thing: potatoes are the only one of these you can grow enough of to eat at home, as long as you have space for a bucket or sack or two of soil, and which basically require zero processing aside from applying heat to consume.

I agree with you that we shouldn’t actually need to know or use any of this information, and as a poor disabled person I also know that growing your own food isn’t always an option for everyone, but if it is an option, I think it at the very least puts potatoes back in the running.

You guys are terrible.

No, you, bootlicker.

If this is you, you should be disappointed in yourself. Grow as you age.

Oh yeah, I’ve had my fair share of disaster, backing up lesson learned the hard way lol

I’ll do my best to remember to update when I get around to trying the upgrade out. Thanks again!

Wow, thanks! That does look promising (to me as a lay person anyway!), I’ll have to give it a try once I’ve sorted out that extra memory I’ve been meaning to buy since my backup space is running out, and I definitely want to make sure I have a solid back up before trying anything.

Better, fair, but is it possible to upgrade an existing install? 😬

I have a lot going on right now and convenience is priority over ideal if I’m honest…

This is nothing more than legal corruption.

It is loooooooooooooooooooooooooong past the time to get rid of this “bring a friend” system of keeping power and influence in the hands of an almost always un (or at least under) qualified privileged few who are only ever looking out for, and manipulating the government and society at large to maintain their own interests.

So far I’ve managed to avoid most this kind of crap with minor tweaking, but with end of life coming soon I’ve been meaning to make the switch for ages, but there are always more urgent priorities… If you don’t mind me asking, and if you know - is it still possible to switch from win10 to win10 LTSC, and if so, what does it entail (do I need a fresh install, or can I just upgrade?)?

Accessibility in general seems to be a huge benefit to automation a lot of people here including op are overlooking, which is a great shame but unfortunately not surprising…

For me it won’t stop it, but pushing my tongue up and forward against my pallet and clenching my jaw will help contain the sneeze (and often also give the sinuses a good clear).

Hey, at least it was clean!

Right, as if the system isn’t very deliberately designed to withstand reform and will not hesitate to weaponize every tool it has at its disposal (from the courts to the media to the police and the other alphabet agencies) to assure no leftist ever actually makes it in to a position of real power (not that we would want to, since we believe the state should be abolished, not joined, for precisely the reason stated above).

For the however many’th time, you die hard liberals can tell yourselves as many fairy tales you want to make yourself feel better, it won’t change the reality - the system is not designed to serve you, but to keep you placated with nothing but an illusion of choice. Those with power and money wrote the rules, what on earth, and at this point in time with history unfolding right in front of our eyes as it is, again, makes you think that following those rules will ever work in your favour?

I do, plenty, but there’s only so much time and emotional labour one can waste presenting anarchism to smug libs that think electoral politics can beat fascism and can’t even see how they’re being played in to upholding the status quo that is enabling the rise of fascism with just an illusion of choice, because the people you’re talking to aren’t actually listening, they just want their bias confirmed and ego coddled, not an alternative, especially not one that requires them to look outside the box they’ve been indoctrinated in to, challenge their understanding of the world and their own actions and all the discomfort that comes with that, and act in a way that might risk the privilege the status quo and those who actually benefit from it grants them to keep them in line, demonstrating just how well it works. ¯\(ツ)/¯
