    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.


    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.


    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

  • I want to learn Java

    Don't get stuck in tutorial hell where you have no idea how to do anything outside of a tutorial. I'll admit that I've never followed a Java tutorial in my life and was self taught from the sorts of TFM back in the day. Realistically the best way to learn is however you learn best while trying to make something. Sure you don't have to make a particle accelerator simulator as your first project, but you could start with something basic like a USD currency converter or a to do list application or just contribute to Plex ezzz

    Abort73.com is part of Loxafamosity Ministries, Inc. (LMI), a non-profit 501(c)3 Christian education corporation. Abort73.com is an online resource designed to creatively and comprehensively educate people about the injustice of abortion, and provide them with simple tools to help pass that education along to others.

    Biased source that was blocked on my network as "Misinformation". Seems legit. I'll add that you've already been called out for using this source earlier in the thread, so there's no point in me arguing your source when it's already been done above.

    ↩  enchy my point is that arguing for abortions because of rape isnt a good argument since the huge majority of abortions have nothing to do with rape

    Yes it is, and yes it does. Whether you want to believe it or not, it's a very large number. And not everyone who gets an abortion is going to say it was because of rape, as I've said above. It's promoting a bad ideology that rapists can now choose who their mother is.

    ↩  enchy of course yea, but that only accounts for 0.5% of abortions. still, even in those rare cases, a baby born from rape is not any less human, and has the same value as any other baby

    Source because if that's true then I must be really rare to know people in that 0.5% super minority?


    The CDC has this to say:

    Almost 3 million women in the U.S. experienced RRP during their lifetime

    Three million people is three million people, and this isn't including people who chose to report they were raped or got an abortion for rape. And if you say "well just report being sexually assaulted lol", you have no idea what it's like to go through that.

    ↩  enchy i dont think so. in both cases the government is restricting certain actions in order to protect something more importan

    Disagree here. Having control over our bodies is more important than some cheap toy manufacturered in China.

    ↩  enchy thats like saying the government is controlling you by banning you from stealing from other people. technically yes, but that doesnt necessarily mean its a bad thing. some forms of control are always necessary, or else we’d just live in anarchy with no governing laws

    The difference about stealing is that we're talking about some item vs controlling an actual body

    ↩  enchy and i wouldnt call it “forcing women to give birth” when they’re pregnant from their own free choice.

    Getting raped is not their "free choice" (or their fault)
