not sure why everybody's butt is hurting over this comic

Biden has ran on this platform his entire four years

if his wrinkled catholic ass and his prosecutor wanted to do a better campaign and presidency they could but as it stands him and her just look like outdated, police loving, religious, zealots standing in the way of progress just like republicans

both parties are actively saying "I am not that other guy." and "We failed to get shit done because of that other guy and his guys"

also both parties say you are wasting your vote voting third party

at this point it is running like a cheesy ad with a company who says buy our product because the competitor's offering sucks never bringing up actual pros and cons

our pc shop restores older machines with Arch Linux using the Gnome desktop for fifty out the door and comes with a new SSD

out of all the calls we receive on jobs we have already completed Windows has more phone time and questions out of the box than Linux which surprised us

and as for troubleshooting or walking patrons through simple things Linux has been easier for them to manage and us to explain over the phone even when having to pull the console up

talking people with little to no experience with computers some being fresh beginners

we only started these restores a year ago and when we did all the main distros and others were tested and researched on for this project

ultimately Arch was chosen due to pacman and the AUR repositories plus steam was using it

the shop packed the install with what they deemed universally needed packages including edge for the browser

most patrons do like the familiarity that it provides and edge allows for office365

a lot of us were super skeptical on this when we were told and had a lot of the same reservations but it has turned sales around one hundred percent though with a lot of ewaste saved

the oldest was a centrino laptop from 2007 had the original hdd in it

the patrons either use the console and update themselves or they bring it back for updates with some watching us do the updates then doing it themselves at home

linux has made computers fun again at least at our place

the US thinks if it fixes a problem that all fifty states have but only fix it in a handful of states that it has solved the problem one hundred percent

meanwhile the citizens go "We have to start somewhere this is a great thing!" and the leaders never get criticized sometimes the opposite people vote them back in

then that is all you hear until the issues reach critical because everything was quarter assed at best

this is how abortion, cannabis, all kinds of insurances, education, food assistance, etcetera already are played in the US

and at that point the citizens and the states are to blame for why things suck so hard

"well they should have voted better over there it is their faults that state sucks!"

which drives us further from solutions

our minimum wage is $7.25, no universal health care, the cops are militarized and keeping citizens in their proper places, food/ housing costs are more than our pay, transportation costs have skyrocketed, the postal service needs attention, we have fifty states not working together

but we showed that China TikTok what for BY GOD! they ain't gonna spy on us

how do we magically get goods to and from?

grocery store trips?

what about other items from the store such as TVs?

what about families?

have you seen what is required daily or weekly for a baby?

what about a Micro Center trip?

not intelligent to be able move people and objects around?

travel over 3,000 miles every few months for work out of state and could not see myself in that taking naps at a rest stop comfortably

with such out of touch comments the petrol conundrum may never be solved

why is it the US is hellbent on making everything a state by state issue but at the same time saying federal law is above state law in such cases like Texas but states with legal cannabis or states with legal abortion are allowed to be above federal

is the US the United States or not

make it make sense

think the film Tron made a good while ago was about users having control versus systematic control over the users by the system admins
