I think one of the bigger moments that made me realize that the world was messed up was the US v MS lawsuit. As a budding tech enthusiast with some coding experience I was very interested in all of it, and very disappointed.
Looking into the Wikipedia entry on this I found a fun little gem: "Industry pundit Robert X. Cringely believed a breakup was not possible, and that "now the only way Microsoft can die is by suicide.""
How prescient.
13 years old me in 1999: "Wow, what a bunch of mean people, good thing our real world leaders aren't like that"
I seriously felt like this was pushing it.
What a naive idiot I was.

Anyone who says that Québec isn't a racist province is full of shit. The more distance I took from my home province the more evident its flaws were. I love Québec but there's a lot of work to be done before we can be proud of ourselves.

Education for profit is such a disgusting concept. Only our sick system could've come up with it.
Just doing my part!
I'm sharing the site everywhere so people know to stay away from it.
Thank you for warning us!

I feel you quite acutely. In the pre social-media days I'd re-read the same graphic novels over and over again.
Funny you should say that. Manjaro with KDE Plasma is not the default distro for the PBP. I'm using Manjaro XCFE because it is lighter, it works well but I'm not sold quite yet.
