For reference here are inflation rates YOY since 2017:

2017 2.10%

2018 1.90%

2019 2.30%

2020 1.40%

2021 7.00%

2022 6.50%

2023 3.40%

Just to make up for the last three years of inflation they would need +16.9% instantly. Assuming +2% inflation over those 4 years (which is the average but not right now) that means from 2020 to 2028 inflation rose 26.3% so if they started a +25% increase over 4 years this year, the workers would have the same spending power they had in 2020.

We've been having this discussion in the group I game/ play TTRPGs with. Like 7 of us total all windows, me and another switched to Linux, a third is a computational scientist who is forced to work with redhat frequently, and a fourth member was thinking of switching. After me and member 2 switched, member 4 saw that we had problems (entirely discord for me, all games have honestly worked so far) and changed his mind about switching because he doesn't want to deal with stuff not working OOTB.

I can't fault people who want that, hell I do, Linux is well worth it to me but I will begrudgingly admit there are draw backs to Linux.

Linux, while overall almost botherless, still looses to windows.

Been using mint for around 2 months and I would say this is pretty accurate. Pretty much every game I play works out of the box. Discord however crashes the whole system sometimes and I can't figure out why. Would still recommend Linux over windows but you will for sure encounter more issues.

Vegans have been refining these arguments for a decade now and can present clear sharp moral stances with a counter to everything you have to say

Lol they fuck they can, they couldn't even properly present and defend their own sources.

Yeah I looked for a picture too, there are not any good blue monkey ass pics, wtf internet

Y'all either circle jerk on hating cars/car culture or try to meaningfully convince people to move away from car culture. This community will never convince "carbrains" in its current state. Accept that and have fun circle jerkin' or pivot and try to change minds.

Asking "why doesn't this group we actively shit on supporting our thought process?" or "how do we get them to change/agree?" is silly.

This may surprise you but many people simply don't have a choice due to where they live

The jab uses messenger RNA (mRNA), similar to Covid-19 vaccines, and works by presenting the immune system with tumour markers from NSCLC to prime the body to fight cancer cells expressing these markers.

Tumor markers have traditionally been proteins or other substances that are made at higher amounts by cancer cells than normal cells. These can be found in the blood, urine, stool, tumors, or other tissues or bodily fluids of some patients with cancer.

I am not a MD or anything but from what I can tell based on the tumor marker described above it sounds like it would work pretty much the same as the covid vaccine? Maybe the proteins build up like plaque and the mRNA just stops the protein production gene expression? Again I do not know a ton about cancer.

Criticize the hell out of them man, I do it on a daily basis as well. Just know you ain't doing shit but yapping unless you bring some plans to the table.

Oh yeah these people don't ever ever ever give actual solutions on how to achieve any goals. They just constantly criticize and then act like the victim when you call out how absurdly outside reality they are.

I switched to mint 2ish months ago and a friend of mine switched to fedora at the same time. Both new from windows, I have had no issues with mint but he has now switched to Debian cause he was having issues getting discord to work properly.

OOTB experience with mint is it works, it kinda feels like cheating having a distro that works easily without tinkering. Like I don't feel like a real Linux user haha, but I would 100% recommend it.

The meme is very accurate imo, the text would definitely be "hello fellow linux users!" instead of youths haha!

Other comments hit on this but I'll add a little more. There is a good bit of trolls/trolling, some extreme views, and authoritarian government praise. Things like that.

Lemm.ee (my instance) is still federated so I see hexbear post/ comments. It's definitely a more problematic instance imo.
