Agreed. What does that change? I’m still voting for Biden.

There aren’t any perfect choices in life, all choices of consequence have downsides. Sometimes it’s choosing harm reduction. The man has a solid record of progress with climate legislation, pardoning marijuana possession charges, limiting insulin prices and more.

Could he do better? Hell yeah. But I’m an adult in a democracy and I understand that a vote is a tool, not a moral stance. I can apply that tool in the most effective way by voting for a lesser evil.

I also have other tools at my disposal, like money. So I give my money to groups like FairVote that supports Ranked Choice Voting so that, long after the 2024 election, we can vote for candidates instead of against them.

But I’m not boycotting the system we have unless someone can convince me that Trump will see a lack of voter turnout as a lack of mandate to implement his anti-Democratic, thuggish, racist, sexist plans.

TOTK followed by Spider-man 2.

Kindness can absolutely be cultivated. Mindfulness and Metta meditation can help, but also just doing to work on yourself.

I also would like to urge you to think of kindness as a quality of actions, not people. It’s what we do that matters more than our intentions.

ETA: kindness isn’t always seen as nice. A parent letting their kid suffer the consequences of their actions can be seen by the kid as unkind, but if it helps the kid become more resilient it has kindness.

Tormented like he’s being sex trafficked under-age? Afraid like if he doesn’t do what the men say that they’ll torture him and he’s powerless to stop them? That kind of tormented?

I much prefer to have all my framework tools half-implemented with no searchable documentation by a guy who quit 6 months ago .

That’s sounds like a great model. I’ve been working remotely for about a decade. One of the reasons is because I can tap into a larger job market than if I stuck to just local companies.

While I would love to have a job where I could meet up in person with coworkers for the day, there are just so many more opportunities with remote companies.

You really found a great sweet spot between remote and in-person!

ABV works for all types of packages. It could be helpful to know that a can of beer contains 18.6ml of alcohol, sure, but what about a bottle of whiskey or vodka? Is it better to know that it’s 40% alcohol or 300ml? Should a bar publish that a keg has 4.2 liters of alcohol in it?

With ABV you can compare alcohol across volumes.

OP, is everything ok at home?

Dat ass

Kang or Flash? Johnathan Majors beat his girlfriend until she was unconscious because she tried to grab his phone when she saw texts from his affair partner.

Ezra Miller was up to some super weird stuff I can’t remember what though.

You already have d10 and d100 (d00? What do we call the other one?), so there’s precedent for duplicating shapes.

2023 isn’t over?

Depoian’s daughter, Carolyn Bester, who was born in 1981, only discovered that Berger was her biological father when she took at-home DNA tests from Ancestry.com and 23andMe this year.

For anyone wondering how he got caught. 42+ years later.

How do they all have different expressions?

No more dependency hell from one package needing libsomething.so 5.3.1 and another service absolutely can only run with libsomething.so 4.2.0

That and knowing that when i remove a container, its not leaving a bunch of cruft behind

Ok, that’s the downside, what was the decision?

Show me any decision of consequence in life that doesn’t have a downside. There are no perfect choices, just less bad ones. And in the 2024 US election there’s one choice that’s a lot worse than the other.
