I think the proposition of avoiding American tech in general will become more and more attractive in the coming years. Governments are already trying to move away from Microsoft for national security reasons. That'll have the knock-on effect of putting Linux and Libra Office in front of more people at work and school.

In combination with the advances in Linux gaming, This may be the first time since the 80s where the OS you're first exposed to will be anything other than Windows or Mac.

Giving Iran a good deal was Trump's only option to end this and I am very glad he chose to do that.

Kennedy chose to escalate in Vietnam. Ditto Jonson and Nixon. Bush stared the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, then chose to do a "surge" in Iraq. Obama had a "surge" in Afghanistan if you remember.

The counter factual is not US got a good deal, but US started a catastrophic escalation that leads to tens or hundreds of thousands of deaths before the US agrees to a bad deal.

I'm pretty sure I heard Killer Mike at the end. El P is missing tho.

That's not true. Linux users do this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Microslop users. Microslop has billions of users, but fewer than 20 fanboys, worldwide.

This story isn't about mental illness. This story is about a black immigrant who was sexually violent.

The offense people take over sexual violence has more to do with the status of the victim and attacker than it does with the act it'self. Rape is barely even illegal so long as you choose your victim wisely.

My mom has one of those. It drives her up the wall.
