Yep. That’s why I stopped distro hopping years ago.
Once set-up it just works™.
No die, is funni
Wait until you hear of a little state called Arkansas.
People in Egypt, Turkey, India, Philippine, etc, etc, etc die in 29.5°C heat? That’s news to me.
I love talking with kids in that phase. The raw curiosity and interest in the mundane is so refreshing.
Sometimes I feel like many adults hate to learn new stuff and even get offended by the idea. It’s heartbreaking seeing those interact with inquisitive children, when they answer honest curiosity with indifference or worse anger.
The “this would never happen to me” mindset really is cancer to logical thought and reasoning.
I somewhere read (maybe it was thinking fast and slow by Kahneman?) that even psychology students learning about certain behaviors would later anonymously claim they would never fall into these patterns. But plot twist: they are also only human, so of course they also could fall into these patterns.
Another example: People that think they would never fall for a scam. If it is the right scam they will fall even more easily for it than people that know that it could happen.
“Of course it can’t be a scam. Scams are obvious and only idiots fall for them.”
What’s confusing? I am confused by your confusion. This is all confusing.
The only AC I have access to is in the supermarket and my car.
Do you live in an area with a lot of ac?
I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It’s a huge deal.
The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it’s not only traditional advertising but viral and “astroturfed” advertising.
Not surprising. The Netherlands has way more money per square meter.
What I find really sad is how fast people call others transphobic. Numerous times I’ve even seen trans people being called transphobic.
Sometimes it’s also just people making honest mistakes and sometimes people double down on shitty positions if cornered by an insult like being called a transphob. Is that ok? No but it’s also human nature unfortunately.
But I get it there is a lot of hate especially in recent times where it is a constant topic in the US culture war. And it must be exhausting to see hate in so many places. A lot of actual transphobic people are akso not acting in good faith of course. This just makes me more sad :(
As always the real scares are in the comments :P
Thanks Obama
