Double-Negatives sound pointlessly made up. The more I look into about them, the more I just think how pointless it is.

Dude, what you speak of is just plain silliness. Do you not understand that in the realm of pirating, you take risks just for simply downloading in what the laws say is ‘illegal’?

There is no such thing as ‘safe’ when it comes to downloading except getting a clue or a suspicion about what you’re downloading and where it’s from.

Again, it is common sense. Pirating is all about risk and reward. Risk, whether you infect your machine or get penalized by your ISP or get fined/jailed for your piracy. Reward, the files you acquire that aren’t a blip on the radar of your ISP and doesn’t contain malware or viruses.

Bodycam videos.

I mean, if you think your life is shit? Go watch a handful of police bodycam videos. Look at how many ways people turn their lives upside down. Turning traffic violations into felonies. Multiple felons on the run. Getting shot. And an assortment of other active crimes right before your eyes.

You sometimes just wonder how bad of a life they’ve made themselves live in, compared to yours.

Common Sense. That’s not a joke.

Spez knows he is at the mercy of some of these same kinds of CEOs. Then again, Spez only cares about Spez and cares little of the Reddit community.

How little of a fuck you give for modern times and just live in the past.

Well, OP failed to even detail what the hell model it is. As is the case with 95% of all tech questions where nobody states what model of computer it is despite it being stupid easy to know.

where every computer is just a chromebook

It’s horrible. We already have suffered a decade of Chromebooks and it’s only contributing to e-waste because of how restrictive Google has made them and every manufacturer just falling over it.

We’re already here with cloud storage and it’s already a bad idea. Any seemingly good idea that comes across the minds of tech corporations, they will overwork themselves to make it the shittiest idea ever by their execution.

As someone said - upgrade your storage. No excuse these days why someone can’t.

No, everyone in my building is loud and obnoxious. A lot of vandals here and the kind of people I don’t trust to even leave my laundry in the laundry room.

Let me know when the last time it was, that a petition did anything important on the grand scheme of things. I’ll wait.

I think the bigger issue with the entirety of Linux as a whole is, getting everyone on the same page to make a distro that everyone can use and not be intimidated by. There’s a distro for everyone, but there are still obstacles in some distros that people are going to run into, that’ll make them turn back to Windows.

Whether it can’t run a game they played, run a piece of software natively, driver support and maybe even features they thought were best suited on Windows than Linux.

And how organizers make up cutesie names to name their treehouse clubs after.

Oathkeepers. Truthers. 1776’ers. American Freedom Party. Patriot Front. It just goes on and on. All of them bullshit, all of them are blanketed bigots, racists .etc bastardizing the names with what they think ‘freedom’ is all about.

Buy an unlocked phone. Then, go see about trying Mint Mobile or MyTello. I currently pay $6 a month for a 2GB data plan and no minutes (currently, but I have Wi-Fi calling). The most you’re looking to spend for an unlimited Data/Minutes plan is $25 a month through MyTello.

What I’m saying is - you’re paying too much for what you’re dealing with. Do yourself a favor and save. The only thing you should be paying for that’s a little pricey is a decent phone.

I think I know what you’re talking about. I do believe there’s a time and place for anything, but just trauma dumping your life’s woes somewhere like on a YouTube comment section, is probably not one of those places.

If you feel like there’s nobody to talk to about it - write a blog or a journal entry. Dump your feelings and experiences there, then share them whenever someone asks you what’s wrong. There are places and sites that are open for one to talk about these sensitive subjects to.

But there’s just no reason to randomly do it on like YouTube comment sections for example. I see it nearly all of the time.

Because a lot of them ended up getting picked up by the government, hired to be in cyber security departments. If what they’re doing, to them, brings them security/stability and not jail, they’ll take it.

You need to turn this attitude around from being full of dread to being adventurous. If the job is as bad as you’re making it sound, you too, would want next to nothing to do with the job. The manager is giving you an out here.

Ubuntu has gotten fairly pretentious in it’s nature. I remembered it being like one of the best distros to use. I’ve fallen off from Ubuntu since 11.10 though.

Musicians need to write songs about how bad the recording industry is. Make a single. Bite the hand that feeds because that same hand is also slapping you.
