Eh, easy mode is for those who need or want to use it. Ditto for hard or impossible modes. Adult, teenager, troglodyte, don't really matter what ya are

I mean.....no, but actually yes? Ish?

If I understand it right:

Bardbarian

Bard = he's got game

(Bar)barian = he's still not very bright (adding a handful of chicks you wanna flirt with to a single chat...yeah, not a good idea lol)

As an Arch User who keeps hearing about OpenSUSE being a more stable rolling release....mind going into it a bit more? I'm happy on my system, mind, but idk, could be I'm missing out on something big for not making the jump. If nothing else, I'll know my options

That was...stupidly easy lol Thank you so much!

It really depends. A lot of them are hurt in some way shape or form and in a desperate situation like qooqie mentions and get pushed back into a corner over and over until they violently lash out, and a lot of others have a genuine disdain for other people or a warped personality/prespective on something (like Elliot Rogers and his entitlement to a girlfriend/sex) and rather than try and quell it or get help, they let it fester until they eventuallty also lash out.

The end result is the same. Either they get inspired to do heinous actions because there's no other option in their head to stop whatever they precieve as a problem, or they look at someone else that did them before and think "they had the right idea" and emulate them.

Took ya that long? As soon as they went "That’s right fuckface.", it was over lol. I knew whatever was gonna follow would be some unhinged shit...and it was, save for that one nugget of wisdom that was thrown in there about shutting up and using what you wanted (that of course, they wouldn't follow. If they did this wouldn't exist in the first place)

So basically, "they're trashing KDE, Gnome, SystemD, etc, so I'm gonna trash XFCE/MATE/GRUB/anything that isn't the latest bleeding edge stuff?"

Cuz that's what i get outta that whole, article...that and that you really, really like to swear.

And you could have asked this in a dozen different ways without resorting to the same misuse of words that the overly radicalized ignorants of both side of the democratic or republican spectrum choose to throw at each other. But fair, I didn't answer your question.

It's more to do with both the politics (Cali is a Blue State, meaning the majority of those that vote lean more towards Democratic, Liberal, more progressive/open-minded values. Texas is a Red State and leans in the opposite way. Republican, Conservative, more "old fashioned" values. Note that this isn't always the case, and you can and will find a mixture of idiologies across it. Well, i can only personally speak for Texas since I live there, but that's everywhere in the US, i want to say, not just these two titianic states) the cultures of the two places (both in the American side and Mexican side and how they mingled with each other throughout thier histories), and what region they're located at. And there's probably more factors I'm missing that contribute to why they are the way they are, like difference in educations of the two states, and just how different living in one place is to the other that yeah, it's very complicated and can't be distilled down to just "the gays" or "the artists".

Holy massive oversimplification, Batman....

Also:

Fascist

Communist

Outta all the words you could've chosen, you went with the two that people throw at heavy Conservative and Heavy Liberal places because it makes them sound worse than they actually are (and, i'm going to guess, because they don't know what either a facist state or a communist state actually look and function like). Interesting.

Oh yeah, on the level of Extinction Events, we haven't survived one yet. Hopefully we will in some way, shape or form (hopefully as ourselves), but you never know. That's why i said, or tried to say, "worry, but don't claw your hair off because of it just yet". Because if that punch is coming, there's no sense in worrying about it--better to brace for it as best we can, you know?

When i said "we've survived worse before" tho, it was in response to the OP's worries of the state of the United States. The question itself was kinda broad and they didn't really get specific, but at the same time...i highly doubt this is the worst it's gotten for the States (or any country, really) besides in the area of climate change, but that's not exclusive to the US, that's everwhere.

By reminding myself that unless some space rock suddenly hits us or the sun decides to explode super early, we're fine. And if you look at our history as a species, we'll continue to be fine. We've endured far worse things than this before and we'll do it again and again. We're good at that. Stupidly good. Whatever rough spots we're facing now is going to pass. It's always passed. Can't be bad all the time, after all. As for global warming causing a potential extinction event? It...more than likely won't happen in our life time, so, worry, but don't, like, believe it'll happen tomorrow or that we're already actually facing The Great Dying 2.0. We're maybe at the crossroads, but not there yet.

Other than that? I do as a few have already mentioned here and try and make the world just a slightly better place. Helping others in my community out, being kind and considerate to the people around me, trying to not get frustrated at drivers out on the road (this is tough NGL), that kinda thing.
