Sometimes I download it and then delete it, so that I can download it again! Mwahahahahaah

You're not wrong. I'm just saying, if you want to make that point, you should compare per capita.

You know, you can just say "supernaturalism" instead of "religion". The two are not synonymous. You can have religion without supernaturalism, such as non-theistic Satanism and some forms of Buddhism. You can have supernaturalism without religion, which describes many New-Agers. I'm sure you've heard people say "I'm spiritual, but not religious", and that's what they mean by that. There are people who believe in souls and reincarnation and stuff like that, but they don't have a religion built around it.

In the case of non-theistic Satanism, there is a moral code, a set of beliefs, and a community of people with shared values, as well as holidays and rituals. Just nothing supernatural.

Naw, my religion is cool. I'm a Satanist. We accept reality as revealed by science.

Yeah, but those other stats are raw numbers. Okay, we have a higher number of unhoused people and food-insecure people, but we also have a higher number of people, period. If you wanna make a point, it has to be per capita. I like how the first stat got this right, but the others did not.

When you share with Facebook, you share with Trump.

I don't know what that word means in other languages, but in English it's a reference to this.

People are afraid of the terminal because Windows has a shitty, unfriendly terminal. One of the things that brought me back to Linux was the cool-looking terminals. They make me feel like I'm Hackerman.

Linux isn't just a different operating system. It's a paradigm shift. Windows is always going to dominate as long as people are trapped in a Windows mindset.

Being intimidated by the terminal is fine, but the sooner you learn it, the better. Terminal is your friend, not your enemy. Take baby steps if you need to, but you're really doing yourself a disservice by staying away from the terminal.

Garuda is good for a newbie provided A) they love MacOS UI and B) they're willing to bring their A game if something breaks.

You're saving an already low-quality stream into a lossy format. Just use Soulseek.

He isn't killing people in the name of atheism. He's killing them in the name of narcissism.
