Aren't they all free? I think that's why they are all below the usability threshold for most us. I used to use Ubuntu, but got tried of having to configure basic shit (e.g. dual monitors), always look up how to install stuff and g

I remember Tibet being a headline when I was in high school, but yeah, it seems like people gave up. Was the oppression in Tibet at the level of what is happening with the Uighurs, though? Are there concentration camps, rapes, forced labor,

In the context of 23 year-olds, I think it's safe to say that none of them are actual alcoholics, just that they drink A LOT, as many people at that age do.
