Having lived there for almost 10 years, most of it as a “local”, they also have a very real problem of foreigners coming there and destroying apartments or racking up debt and just leaving.
There’s more going on obviously, like the xenophobia you mention, and just straight up racism, and probably other things. So it’s a little more than just a cultural problem but that is a decent chunk of it.
I’m curious about the stick drift thing.
I have 3 controllers, two of which I’ve had since maybe 6 months after the PS5 was released since that’s about how long it took me to get one.
Both controllers have a few hundred hours on them, neither have stick drift. The third one doesn’t have nearly the amount of hours on it since my kid spilled juice on it and I procrastinated for a few months to take it apart and clean it lol so I’m not considering that one.
Is it really that bad or did I just get lucky? These things are almost 4 years old and still work perfectly fine.
On a bus from El Paso to Phoenix someone smoked a joint in the bus bathroom and got dumped on the side of the highway immediately after.
Two hours later on that same bus trip the bus got raided by immigration and I got into an argument with the officer that wouldn’t accept my ACTIVE, UNEXPIRED Military ID as a valid form of ID and started yelling at me for my passport (I have a Spanish last name). I threw my passport at him and told him to fuck off before I got my command group involved with his. I don’t know how that worked but he got real quiet and left me alone immediately after that lol. There were several people that were pulled off of that bus that night. It was overall pretty shitty.
Edit: just realized you said US based. Tuta is not US based so that might not work for you. Sorry about that.
Tutanota (now just Tuta) allows you to use your domain. I use it, it doesn’t support external clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) but they do have Android, Linux, Windows (maybe Mac too) clients.
It’s also cheap.
I’ve been using it for a few years now, it works for me.
You can get a free account to check it out first and if you like it just upgrade to get the personal domain usage and increased storage limit.
Ahh ok, that makes more sense. To be fair though, I rarely saw any Subarus when I lived down south, but once I moved out west they are pretty much all over. So it’s not beyond the realm of having different distributions of cars in different areas.
There are Mazda 5’s for sale near where I live in the US. Where do you live in the US that they aren’t available?
Looks like Asphalt 9 was already grabbed by someone.
Really? I’ve never actually noticed one.
Maybe because of the ad blocking stuff I use on my phone.
Waze works well also.
Edit: I’m getting a lot of down votes and just wanted to clarify that I have never seen an ad in Waze.
I 100% believe people saying there are a lot of ads. I think the way that I have my phone setup is why I’m not getting ads.
Will definitely have to look into the others mentioned here.

Again, it is not a “Custom OS” you aren’t installing it as an OS from an ISO. You are still required to have your own licensed version of windows and install that prior to using AtlasOS. Using it does not cause security and instability issues as long as you understand what you are doing. Yes it is stripping things from windows. It’s also open source so if you were so inclined you could see exactly what is being done.
If you equate using an automated solution to do things that you could do manually albeit with a bit more work involved, then every single OS is custom the second you change anything on it.
I do use Linux for what it’s worth and have been for around 20 years. I’ve also been working in Tech for the last 15 ish years. I wouldn’t be blindly recommending something that would wreck someone’s security.
Please do some research.
https://github.com/atlas-os/atlas
There’s a link to their source code. They even state that you have options to what security settings get messed with. So again, as long as you READ and understand what you are doing, you aren’t necessarily breaking your systems security.
It’s not a custom version of windows.
Please make sure you do some research before you implicate things.
AtlasOS modifies a fresh install of windows to help get rid of bloat ware and some of the security concerns that MS puts in their OS.
Dual boot, and use something like AtlasOS to clean up the BS that comes with windows.
I have a separate drive with windows for solidworks and a few online games I play occasionally. 99% of the time I run Linux though.
That being said I understand if you game online a lot and those games don’t work in Linux then that really isn’t an option.
At the very least though I would check out something like AtlasOS, it works for both W10 and 11.
I do agree with you on the accidental thing 100%. Accidents happen, but that’s different than what is being discussed.
Also, yeah it may seem funny if it happens to some high profile person, but put yourself on the receiving end of a direct intentional thing like that and you aren’t going to be overly happy about it. You definitely understand that.
I grew up in some not so great places, got bullied a lot as a kid. I don’t bully people as a result but I am a bit more defensive and would be quick to toss a jab and subsequent more if I felt the need was there.
All in all, I do feel that I want to be 100% clear that I’m not defending the guy, I don’t know the situation, dude obviously had an advantage and in the brief bit that we see it does kinda seem like they were both instigating the situation.
It’s possible, but fortunately I’m not.
It doesn’t matter if it hurt or not. The point is, if someone were to assault me I would defend myself because I would immediately be put into a position where I need to consider what this person is about to do.
Inb4 “but it didn’t hurt, it’s just liquid”, that isn’t the point. Should it be ok for people to just throw liquid on you? Ahh so just go tell the cops so they can do nothing or if you’re even less fortunate that you’re already dry at that point and that person is long gone.
So what is the right solution here? I seriously doubt you would just walk away if someone walked up to you and threw a cup of whatever in your face.
There’s a difference between trying to fight where the problem stems from and handling it in an appropriate manner and getting pissed and throwing a drink at someone.
Throwing a drink at someone and expecting to not get hit is a poor way to look at how the real world works.
No, my points are valid, not conjecture.
Your are making the point that she didn’t deserve to get hit because she assaulted him.
No, it very obviously didn’t hurt him but if someone threw a drink at me, I would respond with like treatment or worse. This is the real world, let’s treat it like it is and not beat around the bush about it.
As I mentioned before though, it’s possible (and likely) that he started the whole thing though. Without more context though we don’t know. Either way, if she assaulted him, and he started it, they are both acting stupid, plain and simple.
I’m not defending the guy but he has liquid on his back and you can barely hear him say something which sounds like she threw shit at me.
If she threw shit at him and hit him with it… I kinda don’t blame him.
If he said something nasty, racist homophobic or otherwise insulting to her and then she threw something at him, that makes it a bit more questionable on whether or not she deserved to get hit.
This needs much more context.
That being said, the dude very likely was being a prick and deserved to have shit thrown at him. Still though, if you assault someone first, don’t expect to not get it back. Male vs female, male vs male, female vs female and all other things in-between, you start shit, there might be repercussions. Make sure you are prepared to handle that.
Ignoring some bigot (if he started it with words) could have potentially saved her getting her face fucked up.
I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for that but my point is still 100% valid.
Edit: For the people that don’t seem to understand how the world works. Try this experiment and get back to me. Go out into the city with a cup full of some random liquid (water, soda, whatever) find someone bigger than you and throw it all over them. Please report back and tell me how that worked out for you.
I primarily run Linux but absolutely understand the need for things that only work with windows so I dual boot. That being said I use AtlasOS which cleans up W10 pretty good. I don’t have any of the crappiness that is currently hitting users.
Also here’s another site that has some information on AtlasOS as well as some other tools.
https://www.xbitlabs.com/best-custom-windows-10-iso-for-gaming/
I know it says for gaming but I use solidworks as well as some other software and my idle resource usage has went way down and it runs so much better.
It’s not, but you only pointed out xenophobia as the cause.
I’m opening the door a little and pointing out that it’s much bigger than just xenophobia that’s all.
