Only if the ingredient is HFCS.

Yes, same energy.

Arch is pourover coffee; Gentoo is those ridiculous Rube Goldberg setups that take 45 minutes to make a single cup. Both are for hipsters.

I love PopOS ARCH Linux

Fun fact: Jesus is a prophet in Islam and appears many times in the Quran.

Phew, I’m glad at least one person got it.

Killing for religion is something I don’t understand.

Containing China is the primary military objective of the US at the moment (other than defending domestic territory): https://www.csis.org/analysis/2026-national-defense-strategy-numbers-radical-changes-moderate-changes-and-some#h2-priorities-homeland-defense-then-deterring-china

Their forces currently deployed to the ME are nowhere near half of what they have in total.

Thanks. Would they take advantage of US distraction to move against TW? I doubt it - the US can easily fight another war on another front.

Paywalled - I can only see the first sentence.

TBH Grok would probably tell them to avoid “femoids” and work on semen retention to activate their redpill powers.

That’s fine, they can survive on the large domestic market thanks to protectionist tariffs, and Americans can enjoy their very own Trabant equivalents

I use Arch BTW full-time for work and personal for about 3 years now and haven’t had any issues at all.

NYT stop sanewashing Trump challenge (impossible)

And this is why anybody who made a mistake in the past should be shunned forever, regardless of their current views and actions. They may as well just jump off a bridge and save us the trouble of setting up a firing squad.

Thanks for doing this - it isn’t a proper leftist get-together without some assclown imposing impossible purity tests.

It is really hard. IME the tactic with the highest success rate is buying older luxury goods - something from the 70s or earlier. Obviously this doesn’t work for clothing, but for things like furniture it’s great, or even houses themselves; high-end homes built before the 90s are enormously higher quality than modern “luxury” houses made of OSB and gray-painted cardboard. Clothing is much more difficult, especially outside of Europe, where they still have companies making things with care using high-quality fabric.

I guess the crux of the issue is that luxury used to mean quality, not ostentation. A Mercedes from the 70s doesn’t “seem” luxurious to the modern eye until you start interacting with the switchgear or opening and closing doors. Same thing for the sofa framed with real wood and metal springs and upholstered in outstanding fabric - you can’t tell why it’s better than IKEA by looking at a photo.

Possibly, but the average person is wrong about a lot of things, especially those they aren’t familiar with. The average person is no more an authority on luxury than they are on, to reuse your example, the logistics of running a farm. It’s probably also important to draw a distinction between parvenu countries like the USA and China, where “pop luxury” item are considered luxury, and old money countries like France or Switzerland where that’s much less the case.

That’s perfect, I’m stealing it!
