I think that’s the understanding of gravity for sizes of an atom and larger, which fall under the theory of relativity. In relativity, gravity is not a force; spacetime is a fabric that is bent by the presence of matter. For things smaller than an atoms, the leading theory is quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics hasn’t definitely explained gravity. One of the leading subtheories to quantum mechanics uses a hypothetical particle called a graviton to communicate gravity. No one has been able to unite the two leading theories in physics (relativity and quantum mechanics) with any experimental success. In the meantime, we just treat (a) things smaller than atom and (b) everything larger as two different worlds.

Because Ubuntu sucks! 👎 Here’s a list of why:

• Snaps = 👹

• Ads in start menu (they did this before Winblows!)

• Unity is sooo fucking slow and stupid. That dumbass bar of most used apps always present taking up screen space 🙉

• Canonical doesn’t give a shit what users want🖕

But the most important part is that I really don’t care. I don’t use your computer. You do. So use whatever the 🔥hell🔥 you want. Use a version of Winblows 🪟 themed to look like Arch 🤭, wallpaper and all👌, then post screenshots on the Internet about your superiority 💪.

Live how you want! And if someone shames you for it, kick them out of you life 😎

Mint is the shit! The only reason I don’t use it is because they don’t have a native KDE version. If they ever do, I plan on going right back Mint.

ChromeOS

• install Kubuntu

Or even better, install KDE Neon. Same as Kubuntu, but with less bloat and the latest KDE Plasma.

That’s basically what the Trump Administration did, tho they were voted out. When Trump was complaining about the Biden economy during that talking point ad disguised as a debate, I kept getting frustrated that Harris didn’t say they were cleaning up his mess…in retrospect, I imagine that she wanted to distinguish herself from Trump’s repeated that wasn’t me that was you strategy.

• Trump used all the financial emergency tools when the economy was good. He lowered taxes and interest rates. This supercharged the economy, but left us vulnerable to normal market dangers since we had nothing stable and reliable left in the event of an unforeseen contraction. Despite economists objecting and even resigning in protest, he still pushed it through because the general population doesn’t understand how the economy works. All they would see are Trump POTUS = good economy.

• Obama left us with a pandemic response team to stay ahead of any possible pandemics at the advice of leading scientists. Trump disbanded the entire thing for no objective reason, just power, control, and hate. Then, COVID happened.

• The COVID pandemic alone saw the worse market sell-off since the Great Depression. We were hitting multiple circuit breakers per week to stop a complete market sell-off. It was so bad, that just owning futures of oil was literally a loss because you had to pay to store it since no one was buying. People went bankrupt from one day to the next for merely owning oil.

• The money printer go brrrrr meme happened under his admin to prevent the economy from spiraling out of control. GAS GAS GAS!! The underlying joke was that they kept saying that inflation wasn’t going to suffer the largest creation of currency in the country’s history. It was straight lies because how is an immense injection of trillions of dollars with no remarkable increase in production of goods not going to cause inflation? It’s impossible.

• The low-ass interest rates with a halted economy left very few places to invest money, so that went into the stock market and corporations buying houses. Interest rates were lower than stock market returns, especially since the government showed it would intervene, so wealth was flowing from one to the other creating absolutely no tangible value yet accumulating wealth for the people that could afford it. It was basically a relative wealth robbery of the middle class right out in the open.

• To solve the inflation crisis, Biden had to jack up interest rates. Now, no one wants to sell their house to get into a new loan with double the interest rate, which is exacerbating the housing shortage. Meanwhile, house insurance is skyrocketing due to climate change and the government hasn’t done ahit about it.

I don’t think anyone could get away with effectively hurting the economy worse than Trump did. Someone or the general population would’ve intervened.

These blatant lies are ridiculous. Seriously, from the economy to pointless rally attendance numbers, everything those people say is the opposite of truth. Whatever they blame on someone else is what they did. Whatever they claim they did is what someone else did. It’s like living in a crazy opposite land. Freaking, they stole the playbook right out from George Orwell. ughh!!

edit: typos and word choices

Big money. Big prizes. I love it!

Supposedly it’s being “reclaimed” by the alt-right on Twitter.

omg I would love to see some examples! is it like when they claimed that, “We are all domestic terrorists”? I would pee my g-string if I saw that they seriously said, “We are all re******” 😆

One day redneck and hillbilly will be considered slurs too. Mark my words.

They already are

Yeah, the system is jacked up. We need a better one like our lives depend on it.

I hate our healthcare system and especially the parasites that run health insurance companies, but they do provide a product.

1. They pool our money together so that the ones that need healthcare can afford it. Barely anyone can afford out-of-pocket cancer treatment or a stay in the ICU after a serious accident. It could be a serious pain in ass to get insurance to pay sometimes if they even do, but overall, they do pay. If they never paid, we’d have a revolution by now. The last time they started with not paying, people started demanding change, which almost lead to the public option.
2. They offer a check on healthcare providers that want to over -treat and -prescribe to charge more money, or doctors that go rogue with whacky ideas. Since the general population doesn’t know much about medicine, doctors would be able to prescribe all sorts of illegitimate treatments if we didn’t have a body making sure that their recommendations were legit.

I agree that they do fucked up things, like withhold on pay outs, deny interventions that may save lives, charge way too much, and lobby to maintain or even improve their wealth and power, but they do still offer a product. I’m someone that is lucky enough to have access to 100% free government healthcare in the US. Even with that, I’m often jealous of people that have private insurance because I find many benefits to their healthcare over mine.

If we want to improve our healthcare, I think it would be best to acknowledge the reality of the situation rather than exaggerate it.

No, crows guarded the Wall. The messenger birds were ravens.

Goodridge, aged forty when she completed the miniature, depicts breasts that appear imbued with a “balance, paleness, and buoyancy” by the harmony of light, color, and balance.

There’s no way her tits looked like that at 40. No sir, I’m not buying it. 🐴

So out of the 345 computers in Antarctica, one is Linux.

what happened??

I would love to have been there for that! How did the crowd take it?

I never expected to be emotionally uplifted by thee fartographer, but I’m happy I was 😊
