This means exactly nothing. Holy fuck, how do you not snap out of robot politician mode when talking about the Holocaust.

Tbh, I had to look up the English term for this kind of instrument myself. It’s not exactly a word that comes up in casual conversation, English class in school or… any kind of literature, really. And since I generally prefer British English anyway, I decided to use the funnier sounding word for it.

It doesn’t even have to make a difference! Remember 2016, when Dems blamed Jill Stein voters for Hilldawg’s loss? Even if every single Green Party vote had gone to the Dems instead, the electoral result would have been the exact same, most Green Party votes coming from blue states anyway. Nevertheless, libs blamed the 2016 loss squarely on Stein and the Fraternal Order of Bernard Brethren.

Didn’t Stalin suggest this only jokingly?

I had a hard time differentiating between creepers and zombies in the dark of night (mind you, it was Beta 1.5 and the night was dark). Suffice to say, the beach that I had settled on looked like Omaha Beach by dawn.

Oh my fucking god, I forgot that had happened.

They renounced their claim onto Mongolia in 2002 and subsequently established formal relations.

I completely stopped watching the most left wing satire show in German TV, Die Anstalt, because they brought up “forced expropriations” under Stalin when covering the Ukraine War. My brothers in Christ, have you ever seen a “voluntary expropriation”*? You arseholes argued for the expropriation of Deutsche Wohnen etc. before, do you think they’ll just hand over 100,000 apartments because you asked nicely? It’s good expropriation when we do it but “forced expropriations” when they do it. There was other fuck ups in terms of bad historiography (like categorising the “holodomor” as a genocide even if the source they listed literally contradicts that classification) but not understanding your own ideology to such a degree is just irredeemable to me.

*Fidel doesn’t count, he’s different.

God, I spent so much time staring at this just waiting for the Loss meme to reveal itself.

Did anyone bother telling them that Jews don’t celebrate Christmas?

Also, as a Home owner you actually end up owning the thing you paid for, which you can then sell (often at a higher price, even). As a renter, you pay more money to end up owning jack shit.

 

Alright, peeps, I want to build Linux on my new PC and need some help with that. On my old PC, I had kubuntu installed, which I liked (at least until downloading Skype fried most of my installers and rebuffed all attempts at deinstallation). When installing kubuntu, I had a lot of help (and by a lot, I mean my friend did like 90% of the work) but as I don't see them quite as often and I would like to be a little more self-sufficient this time around, I implore thee, Linux users of Hexbear. So here are some general questions:

  1. Which distribution is right for me?

I have some experience with MINT and kubuntu. I really liked the KDE environment of kubuntu and generally preferred it to MINT. My friend uses archlinux, but they also warned me that arch requires a bit of expertise and isn't necessarily user firendly. It looked really cool, though. I am willing to learn, but I generally suck with computers. I will mostly use my PC for basic programming tasks and data analysis (mostly python using jupyter, but I would like to learn some basics in C++), similar work related tasks (using TeX-Studio, the pdf editing functions of programs like okular, Libre office on rare occasions etc.) and the occasional Minecraft session.

  1. Where can I find useful resources for learning about a given distribution?

Keep in mind that I suck absolute shit at computers. I know how to access/use the basic functions of the terminal and how to superficially navigate the PC, but anything beyond that is magic to me.

  1. Y'all got any good wallpapers?

A FALGSC themed wallpaper that doesn't burn your eyes out due to being perdominantly red would be cool.
