For products I'll immediately start with Project Farm on YouTube and see if he's covered the thing I'm interested in. If he hasn't I'll try /r/buyitforlife. I'll look on multiple sites of retailers I've heard of for reviews of products from a manufacturer I've heard of (no "WEEJIANGBEST" on Amazon) and give conditional trust to ratings averaged from 3000 or more individual reviews. If I'm feeling wildly thorough I might visit Fakespot to vet those reviews. If the product is expensive, I might pay for a month of access to Consumer Reports. If it's really expensive, I will pay for Consumer Reports.

For services, those are local to me, so I tend to rely on fuzzy word-of-mouth stuff. I might look in the subreddit for my city, but tend more toward simply knowing the reputation of what's around me.

Edit: for local businesses, I also look them up on the Better Business Bureau.

Killing three random dudes in a Dollar General isn't going to "save the white race". This guy's plan is either evidence he was so dumb we're better off without him in the gene pool, or was intended to kick-start the race war they want so badly. I refuse to feel sorry for him in either case. I'm not taking the high road. Fuck this guy.

Well, this isn't what I expected him to look like.

I don't often agree with boomer takes, but I agree with this one.

Having never heard of TROMjaro, I looked it up, read that it's designed "for my brain", whatever that means, and when I looked at the About page for elucidation I quickly ended up on a site with a library of cult-flavored booklets about "trade" being evil. I gather that the actual point of the distro is to make Manjaro more fully free by removing packages that collect data, but Parabola already does this and is certified by the FSF fully free.

Ideology aside, is there something about TROMjaro that makes it a better user experience than other distros?

I'm not sure what you're trying to get across with that. I'd think Trump is the human cigarette: some are highly addicted, the rest find him noxious and off-putting.

Ate the onion.

Manjaro was one of many I tried after becoming increasingly unhappy with Mint. It's also the one I stuck with, and it's run just fine for me for years. I accept that the reports of it being flawed have merit, but I care the most about my own experience, which has been excellent. If you want to test it, by all means, test it! Find out how it works for you personally.

But also try EndeavourOS and other Arch derivatives. One of those might be more to your taste.

No game is good enough to make me install Windows again.

I get acid burn just thinking about it.

He has zero cool.

Yeah, all those Nigerian princes can email me as much as they want now.
