  • I just installed Manjaro over my windows 10 drive and the effort so far has been way easier than I thought.

    KDE Plasma reminds me a lot of WIn 10, and nearly everything I did on my windows system works under Linux without hassle. The only issue I had were certain technical things like overlooking my GPU and setting up my LED lights.






  • I’m on bupe as well, but both together is a bad news with the hot water. It increases the chance to sleep, and falling asleep in a hot tub will make you drown.

    Add to his known addictive personality that he has had a problem with for decades, he shouldn’t have been on that combination.

    I personally hate bupe because it rarely works on my chronic pain I’ve had for the last 20 years. The media blew up the legal fentanyl patches I safely took almost 10 years ago that gave me a normal life. This will be just another excuse to restrict medication that works. A buddy of mine has stopped his suicidal issues because of ketamine therapy.





  • What I was talking about the media focusing on fearful stories.

    Maybe I’m old, but shouldn’t we fear fear itself instead of having a media push stories that promote fear? Kids have been pushed into fearing guns and school shootings when it is such a low percentage of death.

    Or maybe you just are unwilling to see past the narratives and see the bias inherent in the media recently? The media has been pushing division for decades now to keep the money hungry corporations happy. Local news has all been bought up.

    I’m sad about that students hardship, and am happy they were able to tell their father they loved them.

    I just recognize that it is pushing a fear based narrative to become fish in a barrel and embrace death during a crisis.


  • Wasn’t a spree shooter. Just a disgruntled person who had no more prospects left so killed those who he felt were in his way from getting a job.

    The gun was bought over a year ago legally. He had just been evicted and lost out on getting a promotion to tenure so he had no more options left. None of the students were targets because he killed coworkers.

    It’s sad that the students were afraid, but gun control wouldn’t have changed anything. The way to prevent this from happening would be to spread the tuition money to associate professors who actually teach the classes instead of all the money going to Administrative Profit.

    The shootings won’t stop by banning the tools, but by fixing the inequality in our economic systems. Sadly the media and politicians will talk about guns instead of the actual problems with pay. UNLV already was a gun free zone, but somehow that will never come up in the media coverage. Banning AR-15’s wouldn’t have changed this outcome.

    The media loves sowing fear. Articles about scared students will feed the vultures for weeks and never go into actual real world ways to stop this problem. We have lost hope in this country. The majority of people are 1 crisis away from death, and we are stuck with politicians and a President who don’t want people to be able to defend themselves. Not to mention asking the corporations bleeding us all dry to please stop raising prices.

    I really hate the blatant fear mongering.


  • 99% of our gun issues are due to intractable poverty and inequality. 50 years ago we didn’t have these issues because Corporations were not so overbalanced. There were perks to many jobs because taxes were very high on profits.

    Fix the extreme poverty, housing, and take-home pay and most of these social issue will disappear. The rich and powerful ( Corpos and people) want people to give up rights because their problem is about control more than money.

    Giving up rights won’t change any suicides because there is no more hope in the US anymore.


  • He only bought Twitter because he was forced to or admit he was trying to manipulate the stock again.

    He bought a much higher stake, used Twitter to telegraph a higher price than it was worth. Then he didn’t use his own money when he was finally forced to purchase Twitter at the higher price he tweeted. The money he used to purchase Twitter came from countries who have stated they didn’t want Twitter to be around because it hurt their public perception when they were caught doing shady things.

    His Twitter gift started the same way the SEC sued him for market manipulation for his Tesla manipulation years before. Publishing his $420 price point then selling stock when the price goes beyond his tweeted price point.

    He was never savy enough to use shorting like the Hedge funds do, but his reach among the idiot masses to cause jumps in price to artificially male a bigger profit.
