Cubans are exceptionally poor.

Russians are not having a good old time. Things are very bad in Russia since the invasion.

Russia is like 7x the size of Ukraine and has been losing for over a year.

I don’t think a religious person would agree with your description.

For most religious people, religion is a way to be a better person and live a better life.

Let’s say you struggle with anger issues? How do you deal with it?

Religions have thousands of years of lessons about anger. Churches will have entire support groups built around helping with anger. You’ll often get sermons about anger. Ways to deal with it. Why it happens. Benefits of not giving into anger etc.

If you have a slip up with anger, religions have ways of handling it and helping you grow.

Probably the most visible thing is addiction. Churches have helped soooo many people deal with addiction who otherwise might be dead by now.

Religion is not for everyone, but there are certainly lots of people who feel they are better off because of it

Believe it or not, this is better than expected

Nobody in power ever “lets” someone else have it instead.

Peaceful transition of power is a cornerstone of democracies

I think it is interesting how many people think there will ever be peace while Hamas is in charge, or that Hamas will ever let someone else be in charge.

Thats great progress

Yeah 2 of my close friends told me it was the greatest thing they’ve ever bought. I was very disappointed to say the least.

Ah yeah, i know what you mean. That can be overwhelming. There are a loooooot of choices, and the differences might be things I’ve never even heard of before.

I think a lot of these articles are written with the expectation that you will try several different versions after you learn to flash/boot. I think i ended up with 4 different forks i could boot from.

When I started, i went with Ubuntu first just because it seemed pretty stable and had support from a large company, but once I leanred how to boot Ubuntu it was easy to do the same steps for the other versions to try them out.

Yeah I gave it a go. Not a fan. Took a lot of drying and I’m not very messy.

Here’s a guy that doesn’t want murderers to face consequences for their actions.

I run Plex on a Raspberry Pi 3, it can support two simultaneous 1080p Streams on my local Wifi. Cant support 2k or 4k videos at all. And cant support video outside of the local network.

“use your favorite Unix then install Plex” or “Here are 56 perfect versions of Unix to install for your Plex server”

What part of this do you think is hard?

Each step can be scary at first but its not hard if you break it into pieces.

Booting Ubuntu or some linux OS is a fun first step if you actually have a spare computer handy

Once when I was a kid, our pastor gave a sermon. Something about lions.

But he mixed up how to spell lions. He was old. So all the Bible verses he used were actually about loins.

That was a funny lesson and complete waste of time.

But there are a lot of loins in the King James Version

Every single dictatorship ends up like this. It’s amazing.

There are certainly a lot of structural reasons people keep mortgages rather than paying them off.

So basically a grafter is a grifting politician

The US assessments cited several examples of the impact of graft, including missiles filled with water instead of fuel and vast fields of missile silos in western China with lids that don’t function in a way that would allow the missiles to launch

Absolutely hilarious.

Dictatorships and graft/incompetence… name a more iconic duo

Guaranteeing free movement is one of the reasons we have a large military.
