Equity comes out of the idea that people don't all have the same ability or means to do things. Equity is the leveling of the playing field so that no matter someone's level of intelligence, economic background, or any other efficiency/deficiency, everyone has the same opportunity to participate.

Equality gives staircases to everyone. In this case, not everyone can go up a floor. Equity builds ramps, lifts, or both. In this case everyone has an equal opportunity to go up a floor. You can't have equal opportunity without equity.

You can be a dual citizen and be living outside of the US and still vote. You can be an American citizen who has never lived in America and vote. It's not about permanent residency at all.

Cups takes some playing with to get right but once you have it setup and saved, the thing should work whenever

Yes and no. As with most things, it's more complicated than that. While it's true that not many philosophers would claim to be "pure" nihilists, instead opting to qualify their position, there are nihilists who do have a very doomer outlook so to speak.

This is why in the article you linked, nihilism is qualified as "optimistic". This kind of nihilism is often associated with Nietzsche and later as your article mentioned, Sartre. Though I'm not sure Sartre would say he was a nihilist; Sartre was a huge figure for the existentialists. However, the two movements have a lot in common and one could argue that optimistic nihilism and existentialism are close enough to be considered the same thing. I am aware of some scholars who consider, for example, Nietzsche to be an early existentialist. It must be noted, however, that the optimistic qualification is of utmost importance. Nihilism says flatly that there is no meaning, existentialism says that we are able to decide what is meaningful.

Anyway, this is all to say that Nihilism (with a capital N) is a pretty pessimistic and "doomer" idea to have. Nietzsche himself argued that the solution to nihilism was to destroy all interpretations of the world so that we can start from zero and hopefully realize some actual meaning. Perhaps my understanding of doomer is wrong, but from where I'm standing, nihilism and doomerism are pretty much the same thing. Different flavours of nihilism will produce different conclusions about this connection.

sudo apt install firefox is all I need to say to justify why I'll never touch Ubuntu again.

Yeah I don't smoke anymore but I used to buy just plain tobacco, roll it in normal cigarette paper, and use 100% cotton filters. I threw my stuff away in the trash still, but I felt better about the waste anyway

Yes, though it doesn't need to be transparent

That's insane. My Subaru is approaching 200k which I thought was pretty good.

Precisely. And for me, the snap package doesn't work well. It doesn't follow cursor themes and there are issues involved with closing tabs. Installing via the Mozilla ppa fixes this, but it shouldn't have to be that way. New users, especially ones with a fear of the console, should stay away from Ubuntu for reasons like these.
