    I use it for my servers and for remotely programming for over a decade. Using it on a desktop setup for work or games? Fuck no!

    It’s my criticism of the Linux community: They don’t understand what “being productive” really means. I need to do work during the day, and produce results. I don’t have time to deal with my docking station not working, monitors settings breaking, and tinker with them every day… not because I can’t, but because I SHOULDN’T NEED TO.

    It was cool when I was a teenager… now I need to make money.

    As frustrating as it sounds. On windows and mac, literally plug and play. Every time I get the exact same setup. On Linux… dear Lord… every day a different problem and a different tinker until I swore that I’m done, and went back to remote use of Linux. Linux terminal is perfect, and that’s probably all I’ll need. Linux desktop through VNC, if ever.


  • Genuinely would love to see your proof that the potential damage of doing nothing is worse than two years of inflation.

    Easy. Hire me as your president, then I’ll do that job.

    What a joke! Now because I’m right, it’s my job (apparently) to argue with you for another few hours about a potential plan that no one gives a shit about for an imaginary scenario. It took me hours to make you admit a truth you already know. Imagine how long it’ll take to make you learn something new you never heard of. Yeah… no thanks. Have a good day. Mission accomplished.


  • I’m not conceding shit lol

    Yeah, right. Your ego is eating you alive it’s becoming funny.

    You made up like half the shit you claim

    Yet you got a paper proving my point, and the best you got is that I’m “exaggerating”. Good on you. I’m still right.

    If you’ve come here and said “it’s not 100%, it’s 50%”, I would never have argued with you. But because you know I’m right, you had to use a straw man. See? This is how you detect disingenuous people who aren’t here to learn or be honest, but are here to assert their dumb, impractical political agendas. No matter how you turn it, stimulus fucked the US economy. Period.


  • your previous arguments don’t indicate as such, but sure thing, Mr. Kruger

    Alright, Mr. Dunning. Ditto. Very productive.

    what ever the last paragraph was supposed to be, you realize we are back down to 3%~?

    Great job! I guess prices will fall back to where they were 3 years ago… no wait, they won’t, right? I mean, after all this inflation RATE being high, the prices will remain high, and will still increase after this spike, and we’re kissing Jerome Powell’s balls not to hike federal fund rates higher because the economy is so subtle that things can… break? Like we “never seen before”? https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/bank-england-buy-long-dated-bonds-suspends-gilt-sales-2022-09-28/

    I mean, back then with Paul Volcker in the 70s we did like 20% rate hike… and now we can’t even go to 6% without destroying the whole world’s economy.

    But hey everyone… don’t worry! we’re back at ~3%!!!

    Government debt is at 33 Trillion, and the government is struggling to pay the interest of that debt, leave alone the debt itself…

    But hey everyone… don’t worry! we’re back at ~3%!!!

    and why should I not be condescending to someone talking out of his ass?

    I believe at this point I’ve shown who’s talking out of their ass and using unilateral self-constructed imaginations to justify economic history that can be summarized with “everything politicians are doing is perfect, and greeeeeeeeeed is why I’m miserable”. Excuse me that I don’t give to shits what you think. You have no idea what you’re saying when you think that “3%” means that “everything is OK”. You will remain miserable, and I will laugh more seeing you miserable, because you deserve it, 100%. Every bit of it. You chose those who did it. Enjoy!


  • Wait, am I hearing that stimmy DID affect inflation? lol! I’m happy you’re conceding at least.

    Whether it’s third or half, doesn’t really matter. You can calibrate your factors depending on your model to get many different results and the truth will never be known, because all models and wrong and some models are useful. The point here is: I’m right, and stimmy checks caused inflation like you just admitted. Period. Stop arguing over nothing! And stop making straw mans to facilitate attacks on my point like you did two comments ago. Grow up!
