So they just become ocean trash instead? Seems like we should put a stop to that as well.

Grifting out in the open.

it’s also really stupid considering the liberal cites are literally what MAKES Texas. There’s mass amounts of population in rural areas that just flat don’t vote. If everyone voted in TX it’s be blue as fuck.

Either way when the cities themselves lose all the workers that high paying jobs need the cities start to fall and the revenue for the state will follow.

Literal idiots that just think the oilfield will go on forever and nothing else will matter

I’ve legit never understood it’s appeal. Like what even is the purpose of it?

ubuntu is the most widely used distro and very simple to setup and gaming out of the box with steam is very simple. Distro end of the day doesn’t matter all that much because you can change them to your hearts content, but for a beginner, you’d probably have the easiest time with an ubuntu distro.

Doesn’t hurt to have virtual box windows on your linux box just so you can easily do some of that other stuff. While I have done fine with libre office for a long time there are definitely problems with formatting so having a windows VM would just solve that issue. Plus teams and w/e.

Epic games will take some serious tweaking, but not impossible.

google is also spyware… so is facebook while we’re at it and literally ANY OTHER APP YOU PUT ON YOUR PHONE. Ever notice how every single thing has an app? It’s not to make it easy for you to buy stuff from them, it’s so they can utilize your data to make them more money.

lol straight up troll bait. Also funny cause it’s probably people who “believe in freedom and the constitution” who voted in that dumb poll. Somehow we need a nanny state to take over control of the internet… FREEDOOOOMMMM

troll shit… Probably half the voters were trolls too

oh yeah that reminds me of an 80 yr old lady I know. She’s land rich and insanely poor. Like if she sold all her real estate assets she’d probably have easily over a million dollars. But she doesn’t want to sell anything just cause. But she’s super poor. Like she literally needs a new roof on her trailer and can’t afford it. But is sitting on 7 figures of assets lol.

Hell my FIL is that way not that I’m thinking about it. He can’t take care of his house he’s in a booming hood in Houston and has like 8 acres to boot. He keeps borrowing against it to afford shit and still owes like 100k on it which would still net him a pretty penny for the whole set up. I keep telling him just sell the shit and buy a small home out right and get out of the debt and whatever, but he’s super stubborn about it.

Most boomers and whatever came right after boomers don’t even have decent retirements… That’s what’s sorta funny about all this. I know quite a few 60s and 70s yr olds that legit don’t have enough to sustain their lifestyles and still have to work. The system failed LONG before Millennials showed up.

Many of them went their whole lives “not trusting the stock market” just to literally have no retirement. Much of it was lack of education and access to the stock market when they could have been investing, but then at the same time it is a pretty stupid fucking system of retirement when without notice you can lose 40% of value because some bankers fucked around.

The system sucked for them that’s why they still have to work, but instead of trying to fix it, they just complain that it’s their kids fault.

yeah like… WTF you gonna try to do this on a major social media site… how stupid is that shit… Go to IRC, fools.

I’v been using Ubuntu for nearing 20 years now. Maybe like 18ish… It took debian’s rock solidness and made it ez pz. It’s super easy to install and configure and runs like a dream. Has long term stable releases especially important for server architecture. Has the “server” install that is minimal on disk space.

Etc… Just really rock solid distro that I’ve run for decades and has cost me $0 to do so.

I ran red hat till all the cool kids told me it’s got to be Debian and then Ubuntu hit the scene and that was that. I’m sure Arch is fine and I’d bet had I chosen to stick with Red Hat and move to Fedora it’d also be fine. End of the day it’s still Linux.

we have the worlds most advanced, trained, and funded army. Lets let them riot…Lets follow up with force and throw them all in jail.

We can’t let the justice system bow to the threat of violence.

I’m in a town of 3600… People are super fucking poor and still work their asses off. None of them would give a fuck if you “try that” or w/e the fuck that guy is on about… They’d go on about their business because they are just surviving. They’d sure as fuck not give a shit about any sorta of vigilante justice. They’d say “that’s definitely not my problem”

Pretty sure this dude is pandering to wannabees who probably have never actually spent any time in a small town in the US.

dude you are legit stupid. I’m done arguing with you. Banning books is a 1st amendment violation. Parent’s dont have a right to do that. Period. You can deal with YOUR kid… not other’s and not pass laws that literally ban any book that says gay.

You are on the side of actual shitty people. Own it, you fucking loser.

No you are a bigot for wanting the government to burn books and pass laws that break the first amendment. You are the clown. Go hang out on your pod casts and figure out who else you can hate.

lol typical bigot thing to say. BUT 200 YEARS AGOOOOOO…

Nah you loser… BTW those books aren’t for you or your kid. They’re for kids who are confused about why they are different. It’s that fucking simple. Just like the products you scream about in Target aren’t for you…they are for people who would want them… Which there are a lot of.

I was jerkin off to cosmopolitan magazines by the time I was 8. You want to kids to be ashamed and repress any feelings they have that are part of being a normal human. The 3 books in a school library that talk about gay and trans are for those kids who are going through that.

No one is teaching Timmy to dress as a girl. You have been groomed by propaganda. Literally it’s not happening in any meaningful way you are just a literal bigot that has taken the side of religious whackos based on actual false information.

You’re one of the idiot parents that definitely shouldn’t have shit to do with what happens in the education of ANYONEs kids. I feel sorry if you actually have one. I’d bet you are actually just a loser incel that pretends shit’s happening in mass based on some dumb ass pod casts you listen to.

Might want to learn about actual journalism that has backup sources and data. Where you’d find literally none of the shit you think is happening is happening. Instead you’ve chosen the weak minded bigot route. You’ve been groomed and continue to this day to be groomed… It’s all republicans have. They want to dumb you down as fast as they can because if not you’d realize they are trying to strip all sorts of rights away. 1st amendment, 14th amendment. Meanwhile they pass 0 actual useful legislation. Completly deny the existance of climate change and think the earth is 6000 years old.

looolll… You’re parents fucked up with you. Hope to shit you don’t actually have a kid because you are already fucking up with it.

Yes. Parents are idiots. Just because a couple religious bigots don’t want a book is meaningless. Parents don’t know how to teach kids or what the data says about what is important to learn. Parents don’t set the curriculum and they shouldn’t because by and large they are idiots.

You’ve at the very least buddied up with a bunch of bigots who would be fighting to keep black people out of their schools of this was 60 years ago.

Well done, bigot.

All LGBTQ people are asking is for basic rights. The republicans are passing laws to literally ban the words gay from school books. Literally banning books lol. You have no rights on what other people’s kids are not allowed to learn about. If you want to take your kid out of school do it. Otherwise ur just a bigot

You can’t handle that people are different than you and by having the school even mention them it sends you to a rage. It’s religious grooming that fucked you up. Lots of parallel to racism. You know this thing called freedom means you won’t always like everything to come of it. We put up with your stupid ass religious horse shit. You’ll just have to deal with seeing gay people from time to time.

Yah so you are a bigot lol.
