Actually, yes. Light travels about 30cm in a nanosecond, around the size of a cucumber.

It annoys me that people keep saying "figuratively" is what they mean instead of "literally". "Figuratively" may be the opposite, and technically correct, but the use of the word "literally" in this way is to strengthen a statement. A more appropriate correction would be "actually" or "seriously", which holds the intended meaning. "Figuratively" is the last thing it should be replaced with.

What the hell are you talking about? Nowhere in the Constitution is a response to disease even mentioned. It sure doesn't mention anything about bombing cities. The Constitution has been interpreted very loosely to allow the government the powers it has now, but bombing US cities is beyond the scope of even that. The idea that they have a constitutional duty to do so is even more absurd.

The Constitution is an actual thing, you know. You could read it instead of just making stuff up.

Factorio has a mod manager built in. It can browse, download, install mods all right there. It even syncs mods to save files and checks for updates. Factorio mods have better support than most games do. I really wish some other developers would put that kind of effort into mods. Just think of what, say, Minecraft could be if it had that.

" dumb it down"? Isn't the mobile app (s) displaying the same posts as the website(s)?

Tests would be a pretty bad idea. It is easy to imagine the ways that someone could use that to attack their political opponents. Similar things were used to disenfranchise voters in the past. Also, it is too easy to corrupt the legitimacy of such a test. All a person would need to do is get a heads up of how the test works and practice for it. Or, have the test designed to be too easy to pass. It's easy to say "make it impartial, scientific, and dignified", but that doesn't mean it will be. I seriously doubt any governmental body ever has or will be that trustworthy. An actual age limit would be objective and clear though, making it much more practical.

Well it's all fine and dandy until you try to buy some spinach, fumble around on the touchscreen for a while until you figure out how to add something manually, then can't find spinach anywhere and finally ask for help, feeling like a total idiot who can't use a touchscreen interface that a boomer soccer mom could figure out, but then you figure out it was listed under "leafy green spinach" so now you're mad at both at yourself and whoever decided that was a good idea.

I use gnome 4 because it is the most "out of the way" DE. I disable the dock and use an extension to hide the top bar, so there is literally nothing on my screen but the program(s) I'm using. I haven't found another DE that let's me do that (hiding the dock/taskbar doesnt count, cause it still comes up when you get the mouse too close which is super annoying).

I also like the window presenter thing, which I first started using with KDE. I prefer gnome's implementation though, since it is the same key to bring up the window selector and the app launcher. I often want to switch to a window only to find it isn't open, or I want to open a program that already is open but hidden behind other windows, so it makes sense to put them together. I also can't be bothered to learn more than one hotkey. I've tried to obtain this overall behavior in KDE, but I found it was a whole lot of configuration just to get what gnome already does, so I might as well just use gnome.

I found the "touchscreen-y" interface bothersome at first, but I've gotten used to it. The biggest issue is not showing a large number of app entries efficiently, but it's pretty trivial to remove the entries you don't actually need with alacarte.

Gnome's default apps (like the newish gnome text editor) are getting too simplistic for my preference, but again it's super easy to swap them out.
