Oh, I actually meant Windows at home. Windows at work is definitely problematic.

But at home, for my own stuff, Windows just works, with zero setup or maintenance hassle. I used to do the whole Linux thing, had set up dual boot (again for games that only work on Windows ) it was not only not fun, what was I getting out of it? I found myself not even booting to Linux because it literally was not providing me with anything I needed.

Unironically me as an IT professional who uses Windows. It just works. I have to fuck around with all that shit all day, I don't want to go home and do it too.

It's the same reason we all have more ancestors than we possibly could actually have. Repeats.

A lot of people swear by this whole "death of the author" philosophy because it let's them ignore the literal stated intent of the author in favor of whatever pet theory they have. Which is fine, but you can't use it in a debate about theories about the work. There isn't a right answer to what you want to believe, but there often IS a right answer to what the actual author actually intended, especially modern authors in the age of information.

Yeah I'm gonna distance myself from you here. I'm not pro Israel. They have done and continue to do some horrible shit and I've seen first hand the effects of that. The unfiltered hatred some people there possess shocked me. They did not lose the public relations war, their actions alone have made their public relations what it is.

I was just advocating for nuance and honesty.
