I could be mistaken, but I figured I'd point this out since it was my experience, the host PC must have wireless (context: I had a PC with only an ethernet connection, no wireless card).

It will take advantage of the ethernet connection, making for a more responsive experience, but however it is designed requires wireless even if the both computers are connected to ethernet.

I connected a usb wireless dongle and it did the trick for me.

Yay for anecdotes. I've had the same windows desktop for 6 years without anything being replaced.

I also use a Linux laptop which runs great and "just works".

Wow, that sounds horrible. You're speaking very strongly about this so you must have a long list of links to explain:

"...openly supports the violent extremists that use these hats and similar symbols..."

I'd like to see all the many examples where people wearing maga hats and saying maga were "violent extremists".

Really interested to learn about all of this extremist violence I've apparently been missing by these maga people, looking forward to your response.

You yourself are interpreting it the worst possible way, out of context.

What's the context? He was talking about people coming here illegally.

Basic common sense would dictate that many gang members, drug runners, criminals in general that we know are coming here, are doing so illegally. As he said, I'm sure some Mexicans that come here illegally are good people, but pretty much all of the influx of criminals from outside our country come here illegally (including people regularly facilitating illegal travel).

You can choose to lie (to yourself and others) about the context of his statements, as if he was referring to ALL Mexicans, but anyone interested in knowing the truth should indeed find his statements for themselves, completely in context.

He's said enough things to criticize that one shouldn't need to stretch the truth to do so, but the desperation of ideologues knows no bounds.

>I suspect anyone who disagrees is taking a provincial, American view on the subject, and is being triggered by the phrase "gun control".

How open-minded of you.

There is no better way to partake in a discussion in good faith then to use the old: If you disagree with me [insert negative suggestion here].
