I'm guessing they're distro hopping. People often jump from Manjaro to Endeavor to get a more clean Arch experience. This is what I did too, on my laptop a couple of years ago, and I've stayed on EndeavourOS since.

That's the "how". The other commenter was unsure about "when".

My gaming rig has an Nvidia GPU as well, and it runs mostly without any problems (I've had to manually update drivers a couple of times) on POP!_OS

I remember Gene Simmons from KISS being very vocal in interviews about the wonders of trickle down economics. I think that was the first time I heard about it, so I read up on it and realized the guy had no idea what he was talking about.

I can almost hear it starting to trickle... No, of course I can't.

Do you often find yourself in "discussions about religion" where your primary contribution is to complain about Christianity and Islam?

I live in Denmark where Christianity is the biggest religion, so it's the one I have had shoved down my throat the most, which makes it the most obvious to criticize (because it's the one I know the most about). As many people know Denmark has been on the news a lot lately because of people burning books. This has been a major topic in the Danish media even before the story spread across the world, so it's been something I've debated on the regular the last couple of years as well. Those debates have mostly focused on the book burners though, and my criticism would be limited to something like "it's just a book". This is why I mentioned those two religions in my original post.

I don't know much about Zoroastrianism or Buddhism, so I wouldn't know what to criticize. The same pretty much goes for Judaism, though I guess I know a bit more about that religion, seeing as Christianity is mostly built upon the Jewish scriptures.

When some redcap uses "Muslim" as a synecdoche for spitting out middle-eastern stereotypes, they're not engaging in comparative religious criticism, or making some grand philosophical argument.

This is true, but when I'm having a discussion about religion and I feel like I'm done criticizing christianity and move on to islam for a bit, people shouldn't say "woah, that sounds a bit racist", and some people still do. I'm very left leaning but I have to say it's mostly people who consider themselves progressive or left leaning, who have trouble separating these things.

I don't remember that one... Is there a picture, article or video?

Haunted is amazing but the short story "guts" has scarred me for life.

"Microsoft rewards points" wtf?

I agree. I just wanted to say that I really hope this meme completely replaces the original one, so we won't have to look at Steven Crowder's face as much going forward.

I don't think GOG is going anywhere, perhaps the poster above you just used weird phrasing (English might not be their first language)

Also terms like "grammar Nazi" is helping to weaken the seriousness of the word.

In Denmark people sometimes use it to say that somebody is quite particular about something (similar to "grammar Nazi") like " yeah, he's kinda Nazi about people not wearing shoes in his apartment" I don't know if that's common in other countries too? But it's definitely weakening the gravity of the word 'nazi".

Can someone please take a screenshot? I'm getting bombarded with popups.

a different video calling program

What happened to Skype? Did it just become the basis of Teams?

You could maybe even use holy water? Wash all your sins away.

It would.

Is this a stock picture of Elon crying?

No. What a Xwat!

I haven't paid anything since my original Relay Pro fee several years ago and I can still browse porn on Reddit. I dunno what's happening. I did see a pop-up screen a couple of days ago saying it would be changing to a subscription model, but so far it's still working fine. I don't think I'll keep using it when it changes to subscription.
