Yeah, I hate to say it, but this sounded like the most American take ever, coming from an American. And that is not meant in any positive way at all, I’m afraid.

First lettuce, now this? Are they literally poisoning healthy food now?

No, you’re worse. Being better at lying about it earns you nothing, loser.

Exactly. And the implication that this shit is otherwise benevolent just pisses me right the fuck off.

The original is worth it, if only for the full context of abridged.

Really? How come the “free market” fails entirely without regulation?

No argument there

The way the author keeps framing this as a first step to accountability it’s almost sorta cure, of it wasn’t so dangerously naive. Frankly, in today’s political climate, the idea that those responsible will see any form of consequences is patently absurd.

Oh, right, cause the literally thousands that have died from the canceling of USAID is progress.

Just, what the fuck ever dude.

Um, you do realize this is not because he had a problem with them investigating daddy Putin’s war crimes??

The jackass just doesn’t want his own crimes discussed publicly, and that makes him “right”?

Fuck sake you ml types are fucking predictable. Fucking ridiculous…

No, I didn’t assume you’re islamaphobic, but knowing you are I now think you’re a fool.

What I’m saying is there’s a certain amount of attic dust in them panties.

Um, that may be one of the more disturbing things I’ve read online. I believe congratulations are in order! 🤣

Ooh I want in green

Interesting. The targets of the US propaganda machine are… responsible for said propaganda machine? I’m not sure that tracks, buddy.

Trust. For me that fits your description, the thing I don’t “see” but some out there do. I try to keep an open mind, but the way this stuff is being sold hard bothers me.

Eh, that lady that was straight up executed in her car in Minnesota was targeted because they knew she was involved in following and identifying their vehicles. The nurse who was killed? He had a legally carried firearm; he never reached for it, but as soon as it was found, the situation was escalated and he was killed.

It’s not hyperbole that they are “disappearing dissidents” when protesters are being executed in public. And he’s not even the first that they’ve snatched outside of that specific center. I wish it was hyperbole. I really do.

Edit: Regarding my own “doomerism” tone, I don’t pretend to know how we’re gonna fix this; I just believe we need to be honest about what’s happening. I don’t think we can find a solution to a problem that we can’t acknowledge.

What format is your HDD? If you recently switched from windows, it’s possible the HDD is using the NTFS filesystem, which is not well supported so many distros will not auto mount NTFS partitions to avoid file corruption. Good news, though, better NTFS support is coming with kernel version 7. Anyway, for starters you want to check if /dev/hda exists; if it doesn’t, that’s a whole other problem…

Edit: I hesitate to recommend this distro to someone new to Linux, but it occurred to me CachyOS has a decent chance of solving every one of the issues you mentioned. It’s gaming focused, has the latest kernel already, good hardware support, and includes an environment for running windows apps. Unfortunately, troubleshooting or installing new apps will likely involve a much steeper learning curve. But again, it might have ready to go support for everything you need, so…

I’m more impressed/disturbed at the way he takes “punchable face” to a whole new level…

I would say it’s incomprehensibly larger, though, which is what I took your meaning for in the first place.
