Sure let’s pretend Lend-Lease wasn’t a thing.

After all, we only sent the Soviets 17.5 million TONS of aid.

Sadly, it is pronounced “BOH-ops.”

Maybe tankies will, but they dont need to attack democracy. We did that for them. Democracy is only as good as your median civics and economics education level, it seems.

you should do things [their way] and if you don’t go all in on that then you get chastised.

As is tradition.

Sure it is now, but it was not always. Gentoo didnt just spring forth from the aether full-grown.

pre-alpha

The period of pre-0.1 that I reference above, ended in 2002 with the release of 0.1 Alpha. This is back when the idea of adding a binary installer was controversial in the gentoo community. That was 24 years ago, in case you are following along. So going on about the current state of Gentoo is not super relevant. I am glad it is better, but I am old enough to remember when it was a pretty gnarly ball of yarn and that is what I mentioned.

This reminds me of something I might have said of pre-alpha Gentoo days.
