We shouldn't have stopped cranking out brown and gray D-Day beachhead landing games, it was the only thing we had to condition in kids that killing nazis is fun and wholesome after all the vets died.

Your power button is the chunky button that powers the pc on and off. Typically you'd push and hold it for several seconds until your computer shuts off, ditto for starting again.

It probably looks like one of these and is on the front or top of your computer case near the front, odds aren't has an LED.

It's usually advised not to press it unless you have to, since apps like to close and save and stuff before they get shut down so the button doesn't give your pc time or notice to do that.

Luckily in the "start menu" or whatever UI element where there are buttons for navigating the list of apps there is usually a built in button for shutting down the pc, saving the currently opened stuff to RAM and putting the pc into "sleep", possibly a similar function called "hibernate" too. On Pop if you are using GNOME or (I think) Cosmic as your desktop, those elements aren't the top bar in the upper right. Otherwise you should be able to simply search "shut down" in whatever search menu/launcher pops up if you hit the Alt key.

Your firmware update might ask you specifically to use the power button on the outside of your pc case, but it should prompt you on screen if that's necessary.

I hope this helps! You probably wanna get any updates you've been putting off done, it could even help without mouse issue.

I do understand, and it does make sense to me.

Been reading this thread interested as someone whose loved one works for municipal IT. On that basis I sympathize with your perspective, but I have to take issue with this statement:

And now, Americans, stuck in a system that has been stolen by a skinwalker.

I wouldn't say so. This is the system that we have. The executive office has been erasing checks and balances since WWII. The Heritage Foundation and other SIGs have been pushing white supremacy for 200 years. ICE was created by Bush Jr. after after a mob riot in Florida disrupted a recount that could have given the presidency to Al Gore. Generously this is when we can say our democracy first proved flawed, but the rationalizations and mechanisms go back to our founding. We haven't been hijacked, we are the monster and have been for some time.

Could you try explaining what the user said that was incorrect instead of calling them racist four times and citing some book?

I miss all previous presidents I have experienced prior to now and even Bush would be an improvement versus what we have literally now. They're all directly at fault for the present situation in some way.

Its hosted on a site called lithub, the author is actually an academic. Maybe what you wanted was a more concise op-ed but its just not what the gentleman wrote.

Prop 50 passed in California in response to Texas' redistricting. Other states would have to have a competitive congress and the states that need it most are red as hell. In the case of Texas, their redistricting effort was a national push from the party to consolidate their hold on the house, which was easiest to do in Texas because its already gerrymandered to shit and you can pass whatever you want there. However, the most conservative city in the most conservative county in the state keep going nearly purple on them. If you want Prop 50 in your state its going to take a serious groundgame and a charismatic figurehead like Newsom (hocks loogie). Its not possible without a strong local democrat party and some states are too electorally captured, it will take unseating untold numbers of Republicans in those places to even have a referendum. Whats going to kick off now are further redistricting efforts around the country from all states that are solidly one color or another.

IM SO GLAD WE HELD THAT ONE BACK FOR THE SAKE OF DECORUM AND NOW IT DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL HAAAAAAAAAAA

If Halo wasn't dead before it is now. Microsoft whored the Chief out. Considering the state the franchise was already in remaking its first game for a third time to milk nostalgia, I just don't think there'll ever be another Halo title that doesn't reek of tonsil stones and human ashes.

This WAS becoming a mainstream issue more people were waking up to. Then ten years of rule by the culprits out large shut the whole thing up and went further to normalize it. Now were just waiting for talking heads to start edging close to saying its not taboo. Dumpster fire of a social fabric speckled by predators hiding in plain sight and laughing at us.
