Making your own food is normal for a lot of people here too, but I know a ton of people who just eat garbage all the time. My grandmother just eats all the time. She will just sit down and eat an entire pan of fried potatoes back to back, and my dad and stepmom just eat fast food every day. I had a nightmare where I was forced to watch my family eat junk off a table and then they got taken away once they got so fat to be butchered. I've been getting sick lately thinking about it, and my room mate keeps nagging me to eat way too much. I hate how fat I've gotten.

Yeah, but if they didn't they might actually have to interact with the poors, and they can't have that.

You can move the taskbar back to the left, it's a setting in the context menu. But by all means, please don't let that drag you away from Linux. Windows is going to get a lot worse in other ways soon. It always does.

The last number I was given was that anyone who makes more than a converted $20,000 per year is in the global top 10%. There used to be a global income comparison tool that showed where you stand on the global scale. I feel 90% confident that any individual person reading this is someone who is above that line, especially if they can afford things like internet and electric together. Those kinds of guys are driving cars to work and eating out, instead of making their food every single day and listening to radio because they can't afford any luxuries.

I agree that it ain't exactly smart to say everyone in a developed economy is doing well, but I want to remind anyone reading this to count their blessings and consider their own impact just as much as they try to hold the worst offenders accountable.

I had a Philippine friend who kept getting called Mexican in high school, and the same people who said that are voting for Trump. Extract from that what you will.

For these people, brown skin = Mexican. Kind of like how they attacked Sikhs after 9/11.

They don't actually care about the difference, they just want to hurt brown people.

Undeniably a majority. We can't ignore the fact that we have impact on climate too. Big interest want us to argue over blame rather than try to fix the problem (Them). That said, I don't commute by aircraft daily like Taylor Swift and every other rich person.

If you're reading this, you're in that 10%.

Deepest sleep of today vs the deepest sleep of all time.

Teens are a really bad workforce to rely on. It's always been understood that kids work for their own benefit, and the business just happens to benefit from that. They need a savings so they can move out on their own when they graduate. This isn't for their benefit, this is so companies can fuel their needs for wage slaves.

When you go to hell, you're strapped to a chair and forced to watch ads that spoil major plot points of the movie.

Then when you watch the movie in theaters, the pre-movie ads are ads that spoil the major plot points of several other movies.

An eternal chain of ruin, for your sins.

Ah great, now the hub is going to be flooded with this.
