Boom, your computer now supports Windows 11. You probably have to download Microsoft's PC Health Check to get it to acknowledge it.

It would solve a lot of contention with the left lane, it would prevent a huge number of traffic deaths, it would reduce bias, and it might actually lead to limits being raised where they can relatively safely do so. Lax enforcement only benefits anti-social people.

We accept ads against smoking, alcoholism, drug abuse, but obesity really does kill and destroy the quality of life for way more people. I think it's because of its prevalence and historic …discrimination? makes it taboo to remind people of that.

I'm obviously going to look for the best value, but trying to get the ultimate everything is a bit overconsumeristic in my opinion.

I don't think it's fair to frame this as some countercultural thing.

However, I definitely think you have to learn the grammar too as one of the basic steps. You can infer tenses and conjugation such from reading, but honestly I think it's easier to memorize it. Plus some things like reflexive or pluperfect tenses or grammatical gender which don't really exist the same way in English are hard to intuit.

It has its advantages, but such an independent class naturally will just enrich itself, not necessarily choose what's best for the people.

The traditional view is that using any form of CSAM feeds and normalizes those desires and makes escalating things more likely. The more modern view is that sexuality is very rigid and they're going to have the same orientation and desires either way, so having a virtual outlet will reduce the chance of real harm.
Personally, I agree with the former, but I think it's fair to say that no good study can really be done on it to know for sure.

Yes, it's in the BIOS/UEFI. It doesn't matter what OS you're running.
