and AUR because I found a lone archwiki post mentioning a pacman command that would fix my niche problem, so I thought I need to set up Pacman to solve it

MFW in the dependency hell, with a broken GUI: 🤡

(This was my first Linux install years ago and I proceeded through Do you know what you are doing? (y/N) despite having no clue. It was a VM, luckily.)

Whether it be Snapchat or Canonical snap, fuck em' both.

Fuck the gov snap program for not being enough assistance (thanks Reagan and associates) and forcing people to stay very poor to receive much needed assistance. Manipulative is the word that comes to mind.

You know something is horribly wrong when someone who is permenantly disabled signs up for snap only to receive $200 a month with it, but it's taking 200 away from their (already lower than minimum wage) disability payments. I don't know how people are expected to live.

They exist in capitalist limbo and serve as an example by which the system can keep everyone "above" fearful and hateful of them. Hate them for "leeching" but fear of becoming them. Disabled folk either can't work or can (kinda) but are forced to stay poor to receive assistance. There are two distinct social classes I have observed: the "subhuman" class (as in they are treated as less than human) that the System keeps unproductive and pays for lossing out on their labour, and workering class (producers). The poor, homeless, disabled, queer, black, prisoners, and felonies are some of the people who are forced to be unproductive to keep "more fortunate" workers from joining in revolt. It is a technique of rulers to keep the System stable.

SNAP, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is the largest federal nutrition assistance program in the United States. It provides benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families to help them purchase food and groceries.

Snapchat is an American multimedia instant messaging app and service developed by Snap Inc., originally Snapchat Inc. One of the principal features of Snapchat is that pictures and messages are usually only available for a short time before they become inaccessible to their recipients.

Karl Marx was a German-born philosopher, political theorist, economist, historian, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. His best-known works are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto and his three-volume Das Kapital; the latter employs his critical approach of historical materialism in an analysis of capitalism, in the culmination of his intellectual endeavours. Marx's ideas and their subsequent development, collectively known as Marxism, have had enormous influence on modern intellectual, economic and political history.

Thanks. I am not American, and hence the federal nutrition programme went over my head.
