They lived a long time ago, therefore they had to be stupid. I find this offensive. An ancient Greek philosopher calculated the circumfrence of the Earth with pretty decent accuracy given the tools available to him at the time. The ancient Egyptians were not dumbasses unable to make observations and record them over time.
I prefer to believe the IRS has a physical memes folder for this kind of shit which is now several storage rooms-worth of filing cabinets large. I hope one day they’ll start releasing a decade of insanity at a time, and that Netflix will pick it up to make a Tim Robinson sketch show out of.
they think that, due to the mildest, most trivial inconvenience (which might not even have affected them at all), they are entitled to whatever they want, immediately, as a form of compensation for that inconvenience, real, merely perceived, or otherwise.
He also devolved into ignorant pseudo-libertarians along the lines of “keep your dirty government hands off my Medicare”.
Or the angry misguided asshole who:
complains about taxes.
votes republican.
complains about the current state of roads and the like.
Or the lazy asshole who doesn’t vote, lets the other types of assholes elect their republican asshole, sees the state of the roads and schools, etc, and goes bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL.
What do all of these have in common? Myopia, and the stubborn refusal to do the bare minimum on a consistent basis, once a year, or even once every couple of years. No sir, that would be soiling their purity undies. Better to vote once in a lifetime, twenty fucking years ago, then say “nothing changed”.
it would be funny if the IRS scanned them in in B&W and returned the originals, along with a link for the sovcit to view, with all of his silly red ink now dark grey, and thanking him, writing his actual, legal name in ALL CAPS, just to trigger him. lol
Unironically this is what got me to stop being afraid of the dark when I was 11. I just hyped myself up real hard, hit the lights, and intentionally slow-walked back to bed. Show no weakness.
Lol, I’m not hating. I’ve had Linux before but it took more time then I had at that point learning and I mainly use my personal computers for gaming. Which is less of a headache on windows. That’s just me though.
I’m on windows 10, use my PC for work and gaming. The thing with windows is that it works right out of the box, all major softwares are developed for windows in mind. When shit stops working is when you start messing with stuff that isn’t your typical “start the PC -> download program -> install -> run the program -> shut off” which is what most users do. Updating the os, softwares and GPU drivers are easy tasks.
It’s when you start messing with python or softwares that aren’t too mainstream and require a bit more effort that things have the potential to break. Even then, the os itself won’t break on you unless you really try. I broke windows a few times in 15 years but it’s worth mentioning that I was manually and willingly changing registry keys and messing with a lot of other stuff. Even then most of the time I was able to fix it.
With Linux is different. If you just use the OS for basic stuff like browsing the internet and editing documents you should be fine for the most part (if you choose a user friendly and stable distro like Ubuntu or Mint). The moment you try getting to run niche softwares or something that requires you to manually open the command prompt to change things in order to accomodate what you’re trying to achieve, that’s where it gets tough for most people. That’s how Linux works, it’s the user’s fault though not the machine’s.
Might want to try again if you haven’t updated your opinion for 15 years. Updating is so much easier and faster on Linux than windows nowadays. You don’t really need the terminal unless you want to on the easier distros. Everytime I see that Windows update screen at work I remember one of the main reasons I abandoned it at home. The software centers make life so much easier than windows. The software updates on its own so you don’t click on a program and then have to update it. Life, imo, is just better with Linux.
No idea what you mean. I just quickly wanted to update before calling it a night, got a grub update and now it neither boots the default nor the fallback image. I use Arch BTW.
