Of course you can.

Let's be honest, the only begging from any group to join them is from the people using BSD.

Only two weeks? I fought with my printer on Windows for years before I finally just said fuck it and decided to pay FedEx to print anything I need. Literally the worst bit of tech to ever have existed, in any time, in any universe. And now your ink cartridges need monthly subscriptions or you can't use them? I wouldn't feel bad if somebody dropped nukes on HP headquarters.

I feel the same way. I like it the way it is.

Lol "I know this shit is poison, but damn all the people telling me not do drink poison just make me want to drink poison harder"

Thanks. That's a better explanation than just mentioning that there is character with this name in some musical or movie.

but their end goal is nefarious and oppressive. Ironic that Linux is closer on proselytizing, but windows is the one with the nefarious and oppressive objectives.

Then I guess we better not try and fight it then, right? If we can't escape it, why not just roll over and present ourselves? A fools stance.

That's mad

Yeah, I'm still working out whether it's maybe a wheat allergy. Could also be coeliac disease, of course. Or it might be rheumatism for me, because my diet is more or less rheumatism-appropriate now (I also do the veganism). It's definitely been a journey of just peeling back layers of shit. Being able to do things again, has helped with building muscles all over my body, which has reduced movement and back pain, and just gives me another boost for the amount of energy I have. And I've suspected for a while that I might have dustmite allergy, but never went to the doctor for it. Now I have an official diagnosis and can start tackling that more intentionally, too. I was just never quite sure, if that particular fatigue or pain or sleep problem was from the wheat thing or if it's its own treatable thing. And actually having the energy for going to the doctor is also key.

I respect anyone who can hold that many cats at once

Being a new account isn't suspicious in of itself, but being a new account that makes such an incredibly weak pettyfogging argument in defense of a shady corrupt arms company, now that is suspicious. You're asking for "evidence" that lobbying a government to "crack down" on something means pushing them to enact legislation about it? You show me evidence that it doesn't mean that, because the latter reading is by far the least plausible of the two.
