Of course an ex American SF guy helped Coca Cola act in the most horrendous way possible.

I’m 100% with you. The deprogramming took years. It feels like I wasted so much of my life, and I’m still trying to figure out where I fit in. What’s almost worse than knowing so many vets are still so brainwashed is watching people who didn’t go through the same programming shill even harder for regressive destruction. I work on a construction site and have to listen to these overconfident fascist blowhards rant all day.

Emily the Criminal gave me butterflies several times. Aubrey Plaza was so perfect in that role. Past Lives was another recent one. The acting was emotionally intense without being over the top. Master and Commander: the Far Side of the World had some breathtaking and intense moments. It merits a rewatch every couple of years.

They should put an asterisk below the reminders **does not apply if your net worth is in excess of $3M or whatever point at which your lawyers outsmart the IRS annually

In the Software Manager, whenever there is an update you must press “Restart & Install” in order to update. Never seen a restart not be required. Why would I not update when I would be potentially miss important security patches?

Also I typically encrypt during install for enhanced privacy. Probably overkill but yeah. I don’t really have a specific reason other than that.

My other system is Linux Mint 21.3 and restarts are very infrequent.

Fedora’s near daily update and restart cycle is so annoying esp when you have an encrypted hard drive. I know it’s part of the deal and I’m lazy, but all I’m using it for is a Jellyfin client.

There is no way these magat sadists weren’t going to extract every ounce of torture from this method. I’m sure they also happened to be incompetent.

Definitely some idiot redneck soldier stationed in Hohenfels, Rammstein or Schweinfurt.

Vince McMahon is in the other corner plotting to bring back the XFL

Very true from the few pictures and videos I’ve seen from back in the day. ‘The Snake Pit’ name was definitely not dreamed up in a marketing office. If I go again, I’m springing for the nice seats on the front straight. You know, where all the European drivers’ families sit.
