I personally recommend Linux Mint. It feels just close enough to Windows to be fairly comfortable to use. Customizing the task bar on Cinnamon still feels weirdly awkward and confusing though.

Which is why I'm saying it isn't malicious on their part. Calling it malicious implies that they are ignorant out of spite. There are people like that, and many people who are malicious in taking advantage of them, but my 70 year old coworker who just doesn't understand LGBT people and hasn't talked to enough black people in their life isn't malicious, just purely ignorant and scared of change.

They aren't choosing to be stupid as part of some evil plot, they're just ignorant and don't want to change because they don't think they should have to.

The problem is, a lot of the people who support these people are just... Stupid

I have known many a coworker who talked about voting for trump and every time I engage them in conversation about it I realize all their genuine beliefs are against the GOPs policies entirely. They just are scared of things they don't understand and like them talking about how scary minorities are.

They're not anonymous tho, the image very clearly labels who's desk the vaping was detected at

Only if they're independent developers of the game, which is why you shouldn't pirate little indie games. Otherwise they already got paid as much as they're gonna get paid, only people losing money when you pirate a game are the executives.

Maybe I was thinking of cellophane

We definitely use all of those in the US as well, though I haven't heard the Zodiac one. I was asking more for regional things like this rather than saying it was just something in the US.

You know, I mostly only know the US examples of this and always assumed it was just more common here, now I'm wondering about generic trademarks around the world.

I hear a lot less people saying it nowadays, honestly
