Would be funnier if it didn't say "used" and only "junk."

I decided to fully convert to Linux on my living room PC because I was convinced these random display drops I was getting were being caused by Windows. (I was right.)

I had a drive that I wanted to leave alone, because it had my videos and music and such. I wanted to try a new (to me) distro, so I just started using high rated ones I found on distro watch. The first two I tried (I honestly forget which) would NOT leave my video drive alone during installation (even with advanced options). The third one was MX, and it successfully installed while leaving my video drive alone. I liked that. I am used to xfce, and I like some of the custom little tweaks that MX adds to it, like easily making custom folder themes. I like that it can install .deb files and pretty much everything I've tried to run so far has worked.

So, yeah, that's why I like MX. I have since installed it on my laptop, my office PC, and my husband is dual booting it. It even runs his v-tube software, which blew us away. I know most of this isn't unique to MX, but it just seems to work really well for us.

Not sure if joking, but if you add it to your library before the cutoff date, then it's yours forever - just like if you bought it.

The recent German book "the door to door bookstore" (original "Der Buchspazierer") actually has a scene involving one of these orators.

I had to re-read a whole section of the book because I thought for sure I was misunderstanding part of the German text. But, nope.

Great feel good book for people who like books, btw.

It really depends on where you look. In rural areas of red states (states in which the majority of elected officials are members of the Republican party), things are pretty bad. Red states tend to have fewer (read: almost no) social programs.

I have a bit of a unique perspective on the dichotomy, because one side of my family is firmly in the lower class and the other firmly in upper middle.

There's a big difference for the two. It's like two different countries. For the lower class, what you've described is indeed normal. And many in the other classes would not believe that it is that bad for them.

Same. The pharmacist actually asked me if I was tired of boosters yet. "No, I like being alive," I said. I hate SE USA.

Fingernail polish can be used to mark the snakes. It's non toxic and won't rub off. You can get it in bright colors and it's cheap.

It's open source and works very well.

I was sitting in a friend's couch one day, and I said to him, "you're awfully jittery today." To which he replied, "I have Tourette's."

I had no idea. His tic was to twist his head slightly to the right. Fairly subtle.
