I personally found the part where they tell her to not contact certain people. Which people? It's never mentioned in the video. Is she just not supposed to say anything on social media again? How is that a reasonable response?

Now, if she was being blocked and creating new accounts to harass people, that would be more reasonable. Or if she was actually convicted of a crime. But until then, the police should just have to learn the difficult fact of life that people may not agree without any laws being broken.

Aluminum is in antiperspirants, not deodorants (usually).

Holy fuck, you come across as such an entitled asshole! "How can I make my life better. No comments about other people's lives getting better in the time frame I mentioned, those things weren't a problem for me and I don't care." Also, "I want the blissful ignorance of my childhood [guessing here] without acknowledging the reality of that time that led to the consequences I wish I wasn't living in right now."

So, back to the question. I don't know l, maybe hit yourself in the head with a rock until you have the intellect of a six-year-old and have your parents take care of you for the rest of your life? Find some other way to reject the negative reality of the present as much as you reject the positive reality of the present and the negative reality of the past?

Why do you keep posting the same question in different communities?

If wealth is accumulated due to merit, why does wealth tend to accumulate within families? Are these families somehow more meritorious than the rest of the population? Is it perhaps the multi-generational connections made in industry providing additional benefit to those families?

As for the free market, the FDA was formed because bakers in the free market realized that sawdust was cheaper than flour. The free market also requires perfect information to function correctly, but even if you have that how will it help if there is no better regulation. Once upon a time the only kind of match you could buy were made with white phosphorus, despite how dangerous it was to work with. It took regulation to switch to red phosphorus, even though the expense was only slightly higher.

How useful! I can't count the number of quarter-pennies I've lost...

To add to this, the Primitive Technology channel on YouTube shows how to make a fire with two sticks. The key to his preferred method is a harder stick with a point and a softer one with a notch. Then you have a lot of work, prep, and trial and error ahead of you.

I didn't realize things had progressed to this point. I thought there were still some mainstream distros that would qualify as Free, but the only ones GNU endorses are ones I've never heard of. There do still seem to be some non-GNU projects with a freedom-first philosophy.

There are discussions about open vs. free going back over 20 years, that I know of. The divorce happened long ago, but they're still neighbors.

I had coworkers in the early 2000s who would do this, working in a white collar profession, and pretty sure they weren't alcoholics or doing (hard) drugs.

The jacket makes a pretty shitty statement on the face of it, no matter how you could present it, and the message is completely wrong to wear to a children's detention facility. I honestly believe she didn't think about any aspect of it except as a fashion statement, which is a good indication she shouldn't be a public representative.
