Were you asleep the first time he was in office? Read Project 2025. That's what they plan on doing if he gets elected.

Nobody wants Hillary to run. Not even Hillary.

Me too, but I just emulate consoles.

This is a joke. Most people are not remotely concerned about these things.

It's the same reason why people argue about how to pronounce GIF. People get used to doing things one way and they don't want to change.

I admit I don't know much about it, but I got the impression that it's great when you need a very minimal Linux system, like for Docker containers.

Certain people get angry if you do not refer to it as GNU/Linux.

I've never seen this happen. I've heard a lot of people complaining about these people, though.

It's like veganism. I've never met a militant vegan, but I've heard tons of people complain about them.

I think it's an effective strategy to avoid taking about real issues.

It isn't just a copypasta. As KnowYourMeme points out, it comes from Richard Stallman. Wikipedia has a good article about it here.

The term GNU/Linux is promoted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) and its founder Richard Stallman. Their reasoning is that the GNU project was the main contributor for not only many of the operating system components used in the subsequent development of modern "Linux" systems, but also the associated free software philosophy.

This is why I always do research on the game before playing it. Optimally, I'll download and read the rulebook, but "let's play" videos work in a pinch. (Or if the rulebook is a bit obtuse.)

Of course, if you don't know what you're playing beforehand, then it's up to the host(s) to teach you, and it all depends upon how good they are at teaching (and how good you are at paying attention). These situations are obviously much more dodgy, so I try to at least peruse the rulebook a bit and keep it nearby during the game so that I can look up rules during other players' turns.

Finally, it does get easier. It does take time and energy to learn these more complex games, but the payoff is more interesting and satisfying game experiences. Every time you play, you learn a little more. Of course, if you aren't getting any enjoyment out of it at all, you might want to stick with lighter games.
