Okay, I’m IBM Aptiva old.

PugJesus was lost in an unfortunate hunting accident.

…I’m older.

…Oregon Trail older, motherfucker.

I’ve installed Mint and Ubuntu before (over a decade ago), and would manage. I remember having a lot of issues with drivers back then. I’d also be putting it on an HP Spectre x360, and I hear there are some difficulties booting linux because of a firmware issue.

Every other Windows distro is okay, since XP. XP ->7 ->10. I’m holding out for 12 because 11 blows, but…Linux looks more attractive every day.

Former boss: How do I make my computer run faster?

Me: you could install more RAM.

FB: Oh do I download that from the internet?

Me: …no, it’s hardware…you have to open the computer up and physically put it in there.

FB: I should have known that, I majored in Computer Science

…I was fired a week later because she “felt threatened”. Lol.

I mean, I’m a moron, but I know the basics are: nuclear reaction creates heat, boils water into steam, steam turns turbine, turbine spins magnet inside copper coil. Magic! I still don’t understand some lightswitches though…especially the kind that require an app. I’m not downloading an app to turn on a light in my house.

Instructions unclear; pissed on corner.

It’s not disinformation. Those jackasses with $70k trucks aren’t paying cash. The folks living in McMansions aren’t paying cash either. Tons of folks in the US live beyond their means and simply take on debt to finance it.

Accusing everyone who raises a point you don’t like of “astroturfing” only makes you look like a paranoid jackass. Now, kindly, do fuck off.

…Ubuntu?

Am I getting censored here now too? This is getting really exhausting.

Lol, okay buddy.

I’m not talking about rent, I’m talking about the massive credit card and loan debt that has propped up millions of folks trying to live a lifestyle they can’t really afford. In the US, it’s incredibly common for folks to just take on debt for stupid shit, like a jacked up truck they only ever use to drive to the grocery store.

Just don’t pay. Debt-strikes are far more damaging than a work-stoppage.
