The problem is, that in movie, the women stronk archetype is toxic masculinity in a female package. I dislike the whole toxic masculinity because it is bland, boring and just overall not good for anyone. For example, Scully in The X Files is a strong female character without having to be demeaning, overpowered and just a plain twat. The problem is, and was, that certain things get crammed in your face and you are supposed to like it because otherwise you are INSERT_BAD_THING.

Anyone can be anything, but what if we treat people like people. Everyone is different. Labels are great for trying to understand each other but lately it has become very much a black and white kind of thing. For or against. If we can try to at least try to understand each others point of view, maybe the world can become less polarized.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Try it. Even it is not the best resource, it can give you at least a gist about it. It is not a city, it will surprise you.

Good for you. You can use whatever you want. Linux works for me.

Have you tried a fresh install on the laptop with Linux. May help at times

Do you even know what Europe is?

You are missing the point. The Dutch has Nazi's too, but also a lot of resistance. There is good and bad all around, even within people. If you want to label it as one thing, that would be shortsighted.

Really. Because it is all bloatware, all the settings menu's are all over the place, things get jammed in your face ( Use this new thing we made so we can own you even more ) and other nonsense.

A fresh install of Linux takes me far under 30 minutes. Most of them work out of the box.

Never knew. There is a right 'tool' for every job. I live in a rainy place.

Do it. It so much fun. Rex Kreuger on Youtube has a lot of info on how to get going on a small budget with handtools.

I work in Tech but I dislike most tech products. They are not repairable, are spyware, abandonware, shiteware and overall not a win-win situation that it is supposed to be. To be away from screens, I got into woodworking. To make things to old-fashioned way. To be repairable, to be sustainable and mostly to be imperfect. And yes, the imperfections are not on-purpose. I am doing my best to buy the old 'Quality' stuff that wont break and restore them to working order.

With shoes I buy second-hand Leather, Goodyear welted shoes and I splurged on Darntough socks. My feet are so happy. Currently I am seeking the best jeans, and almost all cotton seems to the trick.

So not the most niche per se, but I like it.
