    All this thread tells me is how little memory people have. Late into Obama’s office, he brokered a deal that would have reduced Iran’s ability to create wmds in exchange for lifting sanctions while giving the rest of the world the ability to monitor them to make sure they actually stop trying to make a wmd. Trump infamously cancelled this deal early into his first run and now people are acting like he’s doing a good job by wanting to attack Iran- Trump created this problem in the first place!



  • Having seen this up close, these sorts of folks see themselves as law-abiding immigrants and other people coming in as people ruining their reputation. They don’t see that the system itself is flawed and terrible for everyone navigating it, rather they got theirs and everyone should be able to do the same. I’ve see the same sentiment among asians so it’s really sad. I wish Americans knew more about their immigration system. How many would think a lottery system is sane?








  • This. I went to check the video and there’s no way any user would expect installing steam to uninstall system packages. And yes, even though there’s errors on the screen, the average user just clicks ok so that’s the most average user experience. I do think it is strange he went to terminal to try to install when the UI failed, but as an old power user I might’ve tried the same. All in all, very unlucky for him to run into that problem, but also any normal user who immediately couldn’t install steam would just be so put off by Linux not working immediately they’d probably go back to Windows. I was also genuinely surprised the video is only 3 years old
