I remember the Ukraine Association agreement. My EU country held a referendum over it and voted against that. The agreement included sending military aid to Ukraine, which should have nothing to do with the EU, since EU defense is non-existent and only done individually or through NATO. But I believed this was pushed by the UK, who kept seeing the EU as a tool for NATO expansion.

That the EU was morally better than the US. The posts got longer and longer. I gave up after realizing my latest post would be over 4000 words long.

This is more like Texas seceding on good terms, then after a couple of years a communist coup happens and the new Texas president joins the Latin American Nuclear Defense Organisation aimed against the US and supressess the non-Hispanic population of Texas prompting a small civil war within Texas by people not wanting to be part of a pro-Latin American government, and then the US helping and ultimately invading the parts of Texas that was never part of Mexico ever and then Mexico calling that a full-scale invasion of Texas that must be defended at all cost.

The core complaint is for femwashed stories, where the male lead has been replaced by a woman.

It's very similar to Hollywood movies taking movies from Japan or China and then turning the Asian lead to a Euro-American.

The level of hatred for this type of content is very strong as it feels like a farce or fraudelent, like someone is trying to sell you a fake designer brand item. Everything that made the item great is absent in the fake one.

On top of that, there's a clear fascist takeover in the US from the rainbow liberal, evangelical and social capitalists. Fascists have weird superiority and inferiority complexes including towards women. But don't worry, Chinese movies will become popular soon, so both sides of the US political aisle will have to adjust.

Kids have gotten more respectful to their elders in my opinion.

Considering the Bowling for Soup's song 1985 from 2003,
I'd say around 2013, which makes Bowling for Soup also classic rock.

  1. It matters as some distros have one maintainer or will offer you something ideological at great sacrifice, but you seem to already know that.

  2. No, the biggest difference is package manager, community forum in case you meed troubleshooting, default DE (eases troubleshooting), and release type.

There are three big families of distros: Debian / Fedora / Arch. Any distro that is a derative of either of these three use their package manager.

  1. Drop tuxedo and take a look at endeavourOS. It's arch-based and arch has the best package manager of all. Also KDE is their main DE. I use Manjaro because I prefer Xfce.

In case you do use EndeavourOS, one warning, DO NOT USE THE ARCH FORUM FOR TROUBLESHOOTING!!

(If you've heard of 'Sheldon Cooper' from the tv-series 'Big Bang theory' or 'Young Sheldon'. This forum is run by a real life version of him and you will get banned there immediately or very quickly, unlike other forums. Rule #1 of many is that any user troubleshooting admits that the issue is occuring on any OS other than Arch, including the closest deratives, will get banned.)

  1. No. Don't know what HDR is.

  2. Tinkering with the DE is definitely fun and you should play with it. Be careful though, because the freedom you're allowed also allows you to break things. But tinkering with the DE isn't the worst thing you could break.

Very likely.
But the Netherlands has been exceptionally trusting of the US over all other nations.

"We've got nothing to hide and this will send a clear signal of unity with our allies towards authoritarian states like China, Russia and Saudi Arabia"

- the Dutch (me excluded)

Well deserved.
And surely this news will send a strong signal towards Russia that we are more united with our allies than anyone else and that we've got nothing to hide from them. /s

I'm from the Netherlands

(and the second sentence has been the actual thought process for years from anyone but me here 😢).

This is my country's government and it isn't about money, but about culture.

They could, but they didn't want to.

Title buzzwords OFTEN IN CAPS.

  • The real reason
  • You won't believe
  • Bizarre
  • Dramatic
  • Insane
  • Never seen before
  • Shouldn't exist
  • The truth behind
  • Panicking
  • You won't beleive what

And what's also extremely annoying is whenever questions are being asked in the title, when it's them who should have the expertise..

Content creator title: "Did the president of Zimbabwe just imposed a ban on bananas from Guatamala?"
Me: "Don't ask me. You're supposed to know that."
