It is one of the big lies of capitalist countries like the U.S.

“Don’t worry [CITIZEN ID] you have rights! The constitution says you do”

My linux mint installation is frequently timing out on some part of the start up process. I’m half guessing it’s because the windows partition is fucking with things, because every time it happens and I switch to windows and back again, the problem resolves itself.

But I also don’t care to diagnose the issue any further, because I’m going to be doing a fresh install of everything soon.
