And people are going to use that argument to get rid of safe haven zones.

Nah, I was thinking something along the lines of the Right saying that Young mothers are abandoning their kids because “they’re selfish” or “they are avoiding responsibility” so some state passes a law that states that abandoned kids get DNA tested and traced back to their mothers so they can be forced to raise kids they can’t afford/can’t raise “to protect the family”.

The US has a track record of fucking over women and girls, what with their war against contraception, abortion, adequate child care, etc. It wouldn’t surprise me if the next move is “stop women giving kids up for adoption” under the guise of “protecting the family” or “personal responsibility” or some shit, but in reality is just a way to create cheap labour from underpaid women with a mouth to feed.

Reasonable. Now who’s gonna bet that some dip shit in Washington makes it illegal because “mothers should face the consequences of their decisions” or some bullshit.

Call me a cynical old bitch but when the US does something reasonable I always think “how they gonna fuck it up this time?”

You will be glad to know that HOAs are almost unheard of in the UK and where they exist they’re usually nothing more than an organisation for tending to the village green, common areas and sometimes library book boxes.

Thank you! I’m doing other shit now.

I use plain Arch, but if you are just gonna use it as a media center, use Debian or something like it. A media center doesn’t need to be up to date if you’re just using it for TV and retro gaming. However, how mediocre are we talking? Are you intending to run full steam games or are you planning on streaming them from another computer?

If the latter, I think Debian or even a healthy rPi running RetroPie might be up your alley because you can install Kodi and SteamLink on that.
