I specifically like Xfce or LxQt, because I generally run older hardware; I suppose my biggest question is how easily I could use either (not overly picky about which). I'm not sure which desktop environment LMDE defaults to, but both Gnome and KDE are deal-breakers for me, unless it's easily changeable.

I don't have that problem on my actual Debian machines, because they're headless anyways, there is no desktop environment at all

I've been curious about LMDE, I use the Xfce version of regular Mint, but am comfortable in Debian (at least, server Debian). How does LMDE compare?

Linux vs. Windows doesn't generally affect the cost unless you're building the machine yourself, or buying from a Linux specific vendor like Framework (which are generally more expensive than what you'll find at Best Buy anyways). The major PC manufacturers are going to have Windows pre-installed whether you want it or not.

Can spacetime be ripped or torn?

That would probably be analogous to false vacuum decay; don't try to make it happen

Did he write It during his cocaine years? I know Cujo, Tommyknockers, and Maximum Overdrive were

It is always the oil companies, yes. I'll give you ten bucks if you can find a societal problem that I can't trace back to oil companies. Not counting homophobia, that one is a conservative religious problem

Pascal or Camel are best cases

Hell, I'd make that bet on margin

I doubt it's the road builders; it's oil companies, and to a lesser extent car manufacturers

Where I live, they can only enforce that you stay on site during breaks if they pay you for your breaks, and lord knows they don't want to do that

It's pedophillic because it's sexual images of children; fake or not does not change that. Drawn images of child pornography are still pedophillic.

The more important question is, is it CSAM? Whether drawn images that represent no real child are or not depends on the legal jurisdiction. Should drawn and AI generated child porn be legal or banned? I think the actual answer to that would require significant research into whether its existence acts as an outlet to prevent pedophiles from harming actual children, or whether it encourages their proclivities and makes them more likely to hurt actual children.

Preventing harm to children should be the goal, but actual research of the effects of simulated child porn vis-a-vis pedophiles harming actual children is as unlikely to happen as any other research into pedophilia
