Duh.

You’re forgetting FLOSS. That wisdom only applies when the product is made for financial incentive and is free, and not always then either.

To question one: yes. To question two: it depends on the size of the dataset and the percentage that is poisoned. Look into Iocaine, Nightshade, etc.

Good! I’m proud of 'em.

Be careful with your sources. Laced drugs are dangerous. But I’m with you.

She was poisonous, you see.

Not all of them, but an uncannily high number.

Post with credits or not at all.

They are not ads. They are artist credits, like signatures.

Not an ad: artist credit.

Cropping out artist credit just makes you a dick.

In my personal opiniom, the death penalty is not as bad as mutilation. Having said that, I think there is no moral way to kill a person who does not wish to die. I oppose the death penalty for a lot of reasons.

I recommend FOSS alternatives to Adobe’s garbage. GIMP for a photoshop alternative. Krita for digital art. Inkscape for an Illustrator alternative. Ruffle for the Flash Player Standalone Client. So on and so forth.

Mint is based on Ubuntu.

Use Debian if you want a system like Ubuntu that isn’t full of Canonical’s corporate shit. Ubuntu is based on Debian.

Communion is not ritualized cannibalism.

I would personally rather die than be mutilated again.

Mutilation (including castration) is never okay. Prisons exist for criminals—committing a crime against humanity in retaliation instead is not okay. Also, you can’t un-mutilate someone (in most cases), and the law makes mistakes.

There are some decent ones out there. That Windows shortcut always sucked ass compared to their character map, and that wasn’t great either.

ClamAV. And having it built-in is called bloatware.
