no i'm not. i'm going to be sad when people in my family die and also i'm going to think "gee, it will be nice if they can save a life too"

who cares about a dead body, you're going to burn it anyway so you may as well give the gift of life to someone else. grief doesn't really have much to do with it

most people aren';t like you then coz my wife, the person with real life experience of seeing this happen dozens of times disagrees with your theoretical opinion (from an emotionless husk i might add)

i've encountered plenty of baptists that don't believe in organ donation or cremation because they believe that your body is needed for jesus' return

some jews are like this too plus or minus foreskins

sometimes foreskins are buried in the yard under a baby tree. the baby tree is your dead grandparent's soul or whoever you were named after or whatever. hopefully you dont move lol

amputees will bury their amputated limbs in the family plot they plan to be buried in

cremation is a touchy issue

how prevalent are metro apps in win 10? my parents bought a windows 8.1 pc and even when you are on the desktop if you double click on a photo to view it, it opens a bullshit full screen metro photo library app. and for some reason there's a metro specific control panel with some settings in it that arent in the regular control panel. so you have to memorize which settings panel to use when you want to change something.

basically i just want a windows 7 with the improvements of windows 10 but with none of the metro touchscreen garbage additions. is it possible?

install windows 7. there are no worthwhile improvements in windows 10.

yeah i was raised partially in a baptist church and they made it seem like the rapture was coming any day so maybe that's why.

i mean i know it's not logical and i'll probably donate my organs.. once they implant my brain in a robot body

i dont know what youre comparing it to, but for whatever reason chrome uses a custom text rendering engine that makes text thinner, no matter the operating system

if youre comparing it to windows vista or windows 7 cleartype, cleartype was changed in windows 8 to make the orange and blue hinting less intense because people complained they could see it on their lovely 24" 1080p screens with huge pixels. i dont think chromes a modern/metro app so it wouldnt be using the other greyscale-only version of cleartype

so chrome on windows 10 and 8 has even thinner text than chrome on windows 7 and vista did, or chrome on osx or ubuntu or whatever does
