There's an idea in marketing that if you create a solution, you also need to create new problems that you can market. For example, you buy a printer to allow you to print at home but now you need to buy overpriced proprietary ink. Or maybe you buy a phone, but now what can we do to make sure you come back to buy a new phone in 2 years? Truly solving a problem sells something once and that will not satisfy the infinite growth mindset.

It's a concept up there with Edward Bernays work in popularizing applying propaganda techniques to modern advertising as the idea that may have done the most to really push capitalism to its worst possible end.

Well, the reason it didn't work out now is obviously the Democrats somehow.

We wouldn't wipe it out, we'd raise it as livestock and farm it for parts.

Jimmy Carter did only serve one term...

Is there anything on paper that requires someone to be alive to run for president? Would the 25th amendment even come into play if his passing was before he took office?

That idea feels very useful but I also distrust it and it makes me angry for reasons I can't articulate.

THAT MAN ATE MY SON.

I'm just saying, it's hard to prove that he's not the Zodiac Killer.

Realistically, the end goal is to replace the democratic party with the new one and abandon the growing progressive wing to obscurity.

Limited hardware support for fwupd. Mostly older models, ones mentioned don't appear to be compatible.

Nintendo makes things for a very specific market and any spillover internationally is just a bonus. To be fair, that has worked out for them for decades now.

That's kind of the biggest problem with this whole ordeal. The people who are talking about it aren't capable of reading the petition, the petition isn't asking for that. Same problem we have with near every controversy.

The idea from pirate software is that they shouldn't and that's the better scenario.

I thought that was the problem, but it was just sleep apnea causing most of it. Try forcing yourself to sleep on your side, maybe look into a sleep study if you have the option.
