Kirk Cameron would like a word you about his more recent works...

Overvalued stocks. Tesla stock has no business being vakued at what it is. Elon's wealth is all based on imaginary money until he cashes out. Unfortunately, he can borrow against those stocks while still owning them so it does give him some liquidity.

By the way, that's why the rich really want low interest rates: so the loans they take out against their stocks have a low rate. If that rate is lower than what their stocks pay out they have a magical cash machine. And tha's why we need to fix capital gains taxes; if you can borrow against stocks then that should be considered profiting from them and taxed accordingly.

Oh, and capital gains taxes, along with corporate taxes, should far exceed income taxes from labor, but I've digressed far enough.

You're just being paranoid.

Kurt Vonnegut and George Carlin were both amazing people that didn't get exposed as monsters. They weren't saints, like Mister Rogers, but they also did not have the advantage of being related to Captain America like Fred was.

Thank you for the clarification. I knee it was something which made her an absolute fraud and hypocrite with an espoused philosophy built on selfishness and greed.

Was Ayn Rand on welfare?

Nothing wrong with welfare, just that she's not the best example of successful seeing as she wrote about rugged self reliance and railed against welfare while also being dependent on it.

Stop talking to your mother. She is a bad person and will have negative effects on your mental health.

The map jumping 30 miles away when zooming in makes the site difficult to use for my area.

I made the leap and ditched Windows and made the switch. I'm not married to Pop! OS, it just happened to be the first distro I tried and has been mostly a breeze setting up and getting used to but I do have a couple issues I wasn't able to resolve this weekend. Hoping someone else has seen similar.

  • Cannot add library in Steam: this is likely due to me misconfiguring the drive, mount, or fstab. When I try to add a drive in Steam it allows me to browse the drive and select a folder but then nothing is actually added to Steam. The drive was newly formatted with 2 partitions, both ext4. Unfortunately I am at work and cannot get blkid, df, fdisk, fstab, etc. but my hope was someone had found a better guide than the ones I have tried thus far.

  • Helldivers 2 audio issue: crackling and audio cutting out.; from what I've read it sounds like a throughput issue with the sound server (POP OS default is pulse audio). I came across a couple guides for troubleshooting audio issues with HD2 in Linux that sought to address this with pulse audio and others for pipewire but none of those ended up being helpful. Again, the hope is someone here has had a similar experience and can share what helped them or get me pointed in a good direction for troubleshooting.
