The guy owned a shop that kits out 4x4s. I doubt he ever wore a suit and tie other than his wedding day.

He was Namibian, in fact. Sure, of European descent, but he was a local, camping in a tent that I think was a pop up mounted to the top of a 4x4. Likely his own 4x4.

An RV trailer park would call itself "luxury" in any country in Southern Africa. Homeboy wasn't even in a tent luxurious enough to have an en suite bathroom. If a lodge has 2 rooms with mattresses, they will call themselves "luxury" online.

American media makes you think that only rich people can be "businessmen"? 99.9% of American businesses are small business. 14% of American businesses are one person with no paid employees. That includes nonprofits. Rounding up a touch, about half of all American businesses have 4 or fewer paid employees total. Why has the media brainwashed you into thinking a couple people running a dog grooming company out of their garage don't count as "businesspeople"?

"Hello, my name is [redacted] and I'm a recovering dualboot user. It's been...wow, yeah, I'm 27 days sober using only Linux on my machine....You know, it's like they tell you, you think you'll never stop. You think "How could I stop drinking this Win11 slop? My whole life has been like this!" Naw, man. When they tell you that you don't miss the taste, that it will come to disgust you, looking back. They're right. They were all right all alo-" insert meloncolic sobbing for 92 minutes

"Excuse me...sir? This is a Wendy's."

It depends entirely on your threat model. Start with privacyguides.org

For anyone simply not wanting to have their data scooped up en mass, you still have to defeat IP triangulation, browser fingerprinting, and shadow profiling. Our data is extremely valuable to some people, and they go to great lengths to get it.

1 out of 16 states. In 1 out of 27 countries.

Where is Estonia or Finland or the Netherlands to set the bar higher?

Yeah, but it's all piecemeal and small batches of workstations. There's no full national scale moves.

The insect world is a tiny nightmarish hellscape of armor, weapons, and sudden death.

Also, evolution isn't maximally efficient, it's just barely efficient enough. Eyes are a janky, often low-fi is good enough, affair. 99.9% of species that have ever existed are extinct. 99.9999999999% of species alive today do the bare friggin' minimum to throw DNA into either the wind or a hole and maaaaybe do nothing more than reproduce.

The Helicoprion existed.

Jellyfish. WTF?

Is there a hidden Ed Sheeran reference here I'm not getting?

Is this a Balkan joke or something?

You're saying that being angry makes it acceptable to be stupid as well. That being downtrodden not only doesn't offer the opportunity to be smart about it, that instead the oppressed can't be free to do much other than be hateful assholes.

Cool. Cool cool cool. Was that already written inside your MAGA hat from a factory in China? Or did you have to write it in there next to your own name so you didn't forget that either?

Edit: the last part is slight /s since I know you don't really mean that, but its a slippery slope.

Yeah, it's listed on their wiki as a possible reason.

Suffocating a struggling zebra requires a healthy song jaw and teeth. One wrong tooth starts to hurt and suddenly the lion can't hunt large prey anymore. Humans are very easy to kill relative to usual lion prey, so we're the blended ham and peas at the nursing home.
