bro capitalism is the best we've got, trust me bro despite its flaws it's the only one that works bro, bro just accept this as truth, bro don't question it bro.

True

Stealing other peoples' work and selling it as your own for your profit, the sacred art of the capitalists (it just works!)

Yeah, I work as a bartender and have occasionally had to deal with register/payment terminal combos that are basically just Android based devices with a receipt printer. I hate them, because it's completely possible to swipe up and close the app, or double press the unlock button and open the camera, or accidentally input something and trying to undo anything without starting over is a pain 'cause the buttons are too small. And occasionally those things will just not work, and the battery drains real fast.

Yeah, and the most capitalist part in them is the outrageous price tag and planned obsolescence. But yeah, keep talking about "muh technological development"

I swear bro the next capitalism actually works, bro trust me, bro without capitalism you wouldn't have iphones bro.

Man, if anyone wants to put me within stabbing distance of this fucking spineless removed I can and will gladly feed him his own testicles after cutting them off, break his kneecaps and leave him bleeding in a sewer to be eaten by cat-sized rats, and take the blame for it. And again, to reiterate, gladly. For no other reason than hate.

My money is on drugs winning this war on drugs, as they already did the one fought in the US against drugs. I'd much prefer that, in fact, as I like drugs more than whoeverthefuck it is that's fighting against drugs.

PS. WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Can I do nothing with it?

"All of this is politics! You know, the thing that ruined America! But we're making America great again, by removing politics altogether and just staying in power forever! Hail ~~Hitler~~ Trump!"

Yeah, it's just Felon telling his puppets that those opposing him are puppets and thus stupid, unlike his who are big, strong and beautiful people and who will definately not lose all their money because of his economics, which is a different thing to politics because capitalism is the only one that just works, and no you shouldn't think about that too hard.

Preach. I don't regret the whole "diving into Arch" part, but I feel like I spent a lot of hours doing things that were pointless, nonsensical even. But then again I've spent most of these years since I started this journey struggling with and rehabilitating from various mental health problems (correlation=causation???) so I haven't had much anything better to do than pointless and nonsensical things, on and off the computer.

Just make sure you're not fiddling with partitions and boot loaders during work hours..

Ain't that the truth. Just recently I had invited my friend over for a coffee and such, and when he came I noticed my computer wouldn't want to boot because I had fiddled with something too critical. Sorted it out eventually, but I feel like it kinda crumbled the foundation of my whole "Linux is superior to Windows in every way" line of thinking I have been trying to bring to life among my friends...

Indeed, well explained. Though I think I should mention that I've been using Linux in general for some 12-13 years, since from somewhere around Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.10. I did make the error of overestimating my own skills and abilities regarding "figuring it out" when I dove headfirst into Arch, so basically I was a self-proclaimed massive nerd, but I didn't even realize how inflated my own ego was. I don't think the archinstall script/library even existed back then, and I also had no clue about the man-pages, or how anything really worked.

So my comment here was more along the lines of embellished musings on my own past experiences trying to learn things while I was doing them. Through these experiences what I have learned though is that the Arch Wiki is an invaluable source for most Linux users.

"Anyway, here are terminal commands you don't understand." and after asking for clarification on said terminal commands, you are quite rudely told to read The Manual - which seems to be some kind of a holy book for these bizarre creatures - without explaining in any way whatsoever which part of which manual you should be "reading". Thankfully, only every command ever created by anyone since the very conception of these systems - which was some 50 years ago in the seventies, in a university of a country you don't live in, written in a language you don't possibly even understand all that well, possibly by someone who also didn't know the language all that well - is discussed at length and in an impenetrably obtuse manner by many different parts of many different manuals, with helpful references to other commands and concepts you also don't understand, but which are all varying levels of essential knowledge for understanding some of these commands, while different levels for others. Also if you do not grasp the essential knowledge, you might completely fuck up your system. It seems that the philosophy in playing Dwarf Fortress is found in trying to use certain types of Linux distros, mostly frequented by massive nerds with hugely inflated egos: losing is fun! Because why else would I still be using Arch (btw)? But in any case: Read the Fucking Manual (rtfm to you as well, brother)
