• To Whom It May Concern: On-Line Shopping

    From Distro Lackey@dl@lackey.com to comp.os.linux.advocacy on Thu Jun 25 21:30:32 2026
    From Newsgroup: comp.os.linux.advocacy

    I was unable to complete on-line shopping orders with certain
    vendors using both Firefox and Iron (Chrome) browsers on my
    wonderful Gentoo/LFS system. As a fallback, I had to complete
    the orders on a Micro$lop (yecch!) machine.

    I had suspected that my customization of Firefox was somehow
    responsible. Thus, I decided to delete all of my Firefox
    profiles and other config files and install again from scratch
    while accepting all defaults.

    It worked! Using GNU/Linux Firefox I can shop and order anywhere
    on-line.

    Let this be a lesson to all of those cock-sucking, mother-fucking,
    imbecilic, retarded assholes who accused my fantastic Gentoo/LFS
    system of being inferior.

    The fault was both the vendors and the Firefox configuration.
    That is all.

    Also, my original assertion is still true: if these idiot
    vendors would adhere to web standards then there would never
    be any problems.

    So "FUCK YOU!" to all those who have impugned my remarkable
    Gentoo/LFS system.

    In fact, I have just completed a delivery order for some
    lovely Carlo Rossi Sangria wine (10% alcohol) from Kroger,
    a vendor that formerly always failed.

    Fuck the distro slave!

    Gentoo/LFS is the one and only way!

    ...This may be the saddest post he's ever made.

    Gotta be a Poe troll: When it came to using a browser, it
    wasn't the Gentoo distro that was inferior -- it was the operator.

    And then he brags about "lovely Carlo Rossi".

    (I'm not kidding, it's actually pitiful -- Poe's Law or not.)

    Sugar, tannic acid and histamines are a clear path to a very nasty hangover. And anything from Carlo Rossi is cheap stuff,.

    Try Carmel Road Monterey Cabernet Sauvignon instead.
    It;'s inexpensive and very smooth.

    Serve it with a quality NY strip steak and you will love it.

    been able to do it with mainstreams distros.

    As a fallback, I had to complete
    the orders on a Micro$lop (yecch!) machine.

    A real Linux aficionado would have fall back on a mainstream distro. A Microsoft fanboy pretending being a Linux aficionado like you makes

    And you shouldn't use the term Micro$lop: you should thank them to
    have help you to get food in your mouth.

    Thanks to bring proof of what I claim since a long time: you are unable
    to customize something.

    Let this be a lesson to all of those cock-sucking, mother-fucking,
    imbecilic, retarded assholes who accused my fantastic Gentoo/LFS
    system of being inferior.

    It should be a lesson to you. Because you prove everyone else right.
    First your Firefox installation is a part of your system, so you can't
    tell your system is perfect if some part of it don't work. Second, you
    should avoid customizing things when you clearly can't learn anything.
    If you were able to learn something, you would have understood which customization broke your access to the websites. But that's beyond your abilities.

    The fault was both the vendors and the Firefox configuration.
    That is all.

    Your configuration, your fault. That's the loser's way: always blame
    others on you own mistakes. That's why you will never learn anything and
    stay at the bottom forever. Winners learn from their mistakes. Losers
    refuse to acknowledge mistakes, which is the first required step to
    learn from them.

    You can't seriously expect people to believe that Firefox is responsible
    of the way you tweak it.

    Also, my original assertion is still true: if these idiot
    vendors would adhere to web standards then there would never
    be any problems.

    They probably do, the mainstream distro provide default configuration
    which just work because they know what the web standards are. You are
    the only one changing everything without understanding what you are
    doing and blaming others for your own mistakes.

    So "FUCK YOU!" to all those who have impugned my remarkable
    Gentoo/LFS system.

    You just proved we are right to criticize the garbage you claim perfect.

    In fact, I have just completed a delivery order for some
    lovely Carlo Rossi Sangria wine (10% alcohol) from Kroger,
    a vendor that formerly always failed.

    Once again, you proved you are a tasteless American drinking and eating anything without noticing the difference between good food and garbage.

    First by default sangria is like mulled wine and hypocras: old recipes
    to help people drink bad quality wine. So sangria is bad quality wine in
    which one put fruits to hide the bad taste of the wine. You can make
    some drinkable sangria with a not that bad wine and good fruits. But it
    must be done just before the moment you drink it. Their is no way that a sangria sold in bottle has good taste.

    Finely, why do you tell the percentage of alcohol? What information does
    that bring? It's a normal percentage for sangria,

    You should put some bad bourbon in your coca, you can manage to have the
    same percentage of alcohol, it won't be worse and it will show you are
    assuming your ignorant tasteless American way.

    Gentoo/LFS is the one and only way!

    Your way is the worse.

    ...This may be the saddest post he's ever made.

    No, it's the same as usual.

    Gotta be a Poe troll: When it came to using a browser, it
    wasn't the Gentoo distro that was inferior -- it was the operator.

    That's his way.

    Again, you can only demonstrate your backwardness and ignorance.

    I am a highly accomplished scientist/mathematician and, as such,
    science and mathematics dominates my entire waking life.

    I don't eat food for the taste; I eat for the nutrition.

    Similarly, I don't consume wine for the flavor; I consume
    it for the alcohol (i.e. buzz potential).

    Therefore, for a consummate scientist like myself it is only
    the alcohol content that matters.

    YOU, however, reside in a lower class of humans. YOU could
    never even approach the perspective of science.

    Sangria is wine punch and there are numerous recipes, some of which add sparkling water, along with various fruits, sugar, and maybe a little
    brandy to spice it up. Most of the recipes do not use sparkling wine.

    In your dreams.

    Yes, an American degenerate. I'm not surprised. Of course I'm eating for nutrition, but it's heavily compatible with pleasure and social life.

    Similarly, I don't consume wine for the flavor;

    So, when you said you get "lovely" sangria, what did it stand for if not
    for taste? It's because getting drunk is your only way to find yourself
    lovely?

    I consume it for the alcohol

    So, as I said, you can use some bourbon with coca, it fits an American degenerate like you. And, as I said, once again, you can manage to get
    the same level of alcohol.

    (i.e. buzz potential).

    In which way getting drunk can be compatible with having an entire
    waking life dominated by science and mathematics?

    Therefore, for a consummate scientist like myself it is only
    the alcohol content that matters.

    You just proved you are not a scientist.

    First, there is no reason to avoid good taste to get drunk. Having to
    force into yourself something you don't like is not related with science
    but with stupidity.

    Second, 10% of alcohol is not huge. If your only purpose it to get
    drunk, you should get something stronger, you'll get drunk faster. And
    don't tell me you don't like strong alcohols because you just said that
    the taste doesn't matter.

    And last but not least, any scientist knows that bad quality
    alcohols have worse effects on the body. When you drink bad quality
    alcohols, it will get you bad headache and your stomach will hurt you.
    It's just plain stupid to get that when you can avoid it. No sane
    scientist would do that.

    Do you need to get drunk to believe you are a scientist?

    Nope. It's in YOUR dreams.

    I hold a graduate degree, with high distinction, from a major
    American university (in the top 100 global ranking).

    I have two (2) scientific papers published in peer-reviewed
    journals as the PRIMARY author and a third scientific paper
    published, also in a peer-reviewed journal, as an associate
    author.

    YOU, and the majority of the human population, will never even

    Nothing can overturn these facts. Nothing.

    Nutrition is a highly complex biochemical phenomenon which YOU could

    First, there is no reason to avoid good taste to get drunk. Having to
    force into yourself something you don't like is not related with science
    but with stupidity.


    Carlo Rossi sangria has a very good flavor. Try it and discover.
    Otherwise shut the fuck up.



    Second, 10% of alcohol is not huge. If your only purpose it to get
    drunk


    I don't want to get drunk; I want to get buzzed, and Carlo Rossi sangria
    is quite adequate for my needs.



    And last but not least, any scientist knows that bad quality
    alcohols have worse effects on the body. When you drink bad quality
    alcohols, it will get you bad headache and your stomach will hurt you.


    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

    A couple of glasses of Carlo Rossi sangria will NEVER produce those
    effects. NEVER.

    Of course, in France, that green junk absinthe is quite popular:

    Absinthe is what caused Vincent van Gogh, and a lot Frenchmen as well,
    to go insane.



    Do you need to get drunk to believe you are a scientist?


    The world has granted me scientific credentials. I don't need
    to believe anything.

    So, when you said you get "lovely" sangria, what did it stand for if not
    for taste? It's because getting drunk is your only way to find yourself lovely?

    Carlo Rossi is one of Gallo's many brands along with Thunderbird and Night Train.

    WhatrCOs the word? Thunderbird.
    HowrCOs it sold? Good and cold.
    WhatrCOs the jive? BirdrCOs alive.
    WhatrCOs the price? Thirty twice.
    How do you drink it? In a cup.
    WhatrCOs it get you? All fucked up!

    The 'thirty twice' was adjusted over the years, probably is 'dollar twice' now. Gallo products never blinded anyone as far as I know but describing
    any of them as 'lovely' is a stretch.

    Go crawl back in your hole, blowman.

    Take one of your 50-year-old calculators and shove it

    I am a highly accomplished scientist/mathematician and, as such,

    Nope. It's in YOUR dreams.

    You never appear in my dreams. Outside of that forum, I never think
    about you. So no, in my dreams, you are neither a scientist nor a mathematician. So if you are neither a scientist and an mathematician in
    my dreams and in your dreams, there is nowhere you would appear to be a mathematician and a scientist.

    I hold a graduate degree, with high distinction, from a major
    American university (in the top 100 global ranking).

    I don't believe that.

    I have two (2) scientific papers published in peer-reviewed
    journals as the PRIMARY author and a third scientific paper
    published, also in a peer-reviewed journal, as an associate
    author.

    Publishing in your dreams doesn't count as an accomplishment.

    YOU, and the majority of the human population, will never even
    come close these undeniable accomplishments.

    We are not speaking about me. I claim nothing about me. And you know
    why? For that exact reason: it's the best way to spot frauds.

    A scientist argues about facts. A clown argues about his accomplishments
    as soon as he can't argue about the facts. We have clowns better known
    than you in France. Maybe you heard about Didier RAOULT and Luc JULIA.
    They are buffoons because as soon as they can't fight an argument, they
    rely on their accomplishments which far better known than the guy
    arguing with them. And it's not the science way, it's the
    politician/religious way.

    So no, I'll speak about facts and not about me because it's not needed
    to bash your stupidity.

    Nothing can overturn these facts. Nothing.

    Their is no fact about what you said: only unsupported claims. Which
    contradict others of your old unsupported claims.

    I don't eat food for the taste; I eat for the nutrition.

    Yes, an American degenerate. I'm not surprised. Of course I'm eating for
    nutrition, but it's heavily compatible with pleasure and social life.

    Nutrition is a highly complex biochemical phenomenon which YOU could
    never understand.

    You see, you can't fight the message so you try to fight the messenger.
    But maybe it works with some guys you know, it doesn't work with me.

    Carlo Rossi sangria has a very good flavor.

    So, you take it for the flavor, which means it's about taste, which
    contradict your claim about taking it only for the buzz and not for the
    taste.

    Try it and discover.

    Certainly not. I have so many good alcohol at my disposal, I have no
    time for bad quality sangria designed for tasteless Americans.

    Otherwise shut the fuck up.

    I just show your obvious contradiction. A real scientist would
    acknowledge it and improve. A fraud like you try to change the subject.

    And last but not least, any scientist knows that bad quality
    alcohols have worse effects on the body. When you drink bad quality
    alcohols, it will get you bad headache and your stomach will hurt you.

    A couple of glasses of Carlo Rossi sangria will NEVER produce those
    effects. NEVER.

    I'm not that sure about it.

    Of course, in France, that green junk absinthe is quite popular:

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absinthe>

    Absinthe is what caused Vincent van Gogh, and a lot Frenchmen as well,
    to go insane.

    Once again, you don't know what you are speaking about. At the time of
    van Gogh, absinthe was a mix of shits which was popular and caused a lot
    of troubles to people drinking it. Then it has been forbidden. Then it
    has been reinstated, but with controls about what was put in it. So,
    like it or not but the absinthe actually drunk in France is not the same
    thing as what drunk at the time it was dangerous.

    Do you need to get drunk to believe you are a scientist?

    The world has granted me scientific credentials. I don't need
    to believe anything.

    The world has never heard about you.
