IT STANDS FOR manual
You write it before any other command and it outputs a manual page for that

The Linux Guys could write a very well-organized manual and I imagine that would help adoption a lot. Everybody says it's a helpful learning ecosystem but if you have a problem, all the responses assume you have a PhD in computer science.

Seeing varying reports that they met when she was either 16 or 19, but either way imagine going from that to 37 before admitting to yourself that you can do better than the "YOU CAN DO EEEEET" guy and just having to figure out who you are without that shit co-opting your worldview.

We have the numbers to make rich people very, very scared, but not the unity.
People argue that America is a democracy, America has the White House. I say: slavery was abolished there half a century ago. The anti-slave war ended in 1865. Since then multimillionaires have mushroomed. They have the whole of America in their financial grip.

Fireworks just started going off over downtown Los Angeles, really expensive display.
Yard radio crackles. "Happy New Year, fellas."
"I thought we were finally under attack!"
I just watch from the bridge at work, trying to remember how these things made me feel as a kid.

Big problem here is that the government's primary monopoly is violence, and even if elected officials go hard against ICE, the entire apparatus is going to be very reluctant to actually stop them and interfere with their own main business.
