Yup, in my native language what you call "double negative" is the norm. Actually if I translate this to my language word for word it is exactly how you are going to say it.

The most "remorse" I remember him feeling was for killing Cassius' brother (whatever his name is), but then it felt more like he was just afraid of Cassius than feeling sorry. I wouldn't really have an issue with him murdering people left and right if it was played as the "you become the monsters you battle" trope, I don't know, it may be just that in the other books, I haven't read them. But I doubt it since

Tap for spoiler

the author wasted it on the other "red" guy.

In the first book to me it came across as a simple power fantasy.

It left the same impression on me. A friend recommended it to me and he was insisting that I'd love this trilogy. Maybe it was this that set up a high expectation, but I didn't enjoy it very much. Actually I forced myself to finish the first book, I don't know if I will finish the trilogy. I felt like the main character was driven by the plot instead of driving the plot forward plus an occasional power fantasy moment. And most of his character development was hidden behind the book equivalent of the "training monrage". I saw a little change from the beginning of the game/competition (or whatever they called it in the book) forward.

That's how you know it was coded by a human

Sure, but then how would I get my "personalised experience" while dicing onions? What about the assistant using cutting edge AI technology to tell me how to chop the carrots?

Would Chinese TikTok allow anti-CCP content? I genuinely asking. If it does then yes, we can say it's more democratic. If you mean that the "Chinese" TikTok allows anti-ICE and anti-MAGA/Trump content then this is just a foreign country that has nothing to loose from this, which is not necessarily "democratic", it's just that they probably have something to gain from it.

I got something more important — a life lesson! It serves me well now that I work in a corporate environment and turns out school is not that different, some of the management in my company even gives me back memories of the kindergarden.

You are right, I can't imagine that happening in the real world

Yeah, I completely forgot that during the install Debian gave me multiple choice for the DE. I think I am using GNOME. I don't remember if I chose it on purpose or it was the default choice and I just rolled with it.

Yes, I thought it might be a code issue. It just seemed weird that with other Debian based distros (ubuntu and mint) I have never had this issue. I hope this weekend I get enough free time to investigate further. Thank you for the tip.

Thank you for the suggestion, it might be this. I haven't had a lot of free time lately, but I hope this weekend I can sit down and investigate.

Yeah, I know, but as I said I kind of like it and I think I can get used to it. It's not necessarily something wrong with Debian, it's just that I have been a long time windows user, and then used mint also for a long time, so this is just a habit.
