I would say "life is a struggle". Of course it's challenging, it doesn't mean that it's bad.

Regardless, what's your point?

So everyone including the innocent just ends?

Because regardless of the choice. Innocent people will die.

It's how quickly you want that to happen I think is what we're going after.

Is this voluntary? Is it random? Is the person truly innocent? Is this person known or will be remembered? Is it a child? Is the world aware?

I have a ton of questions that lean onto the "slow" side of things.

But I think it's too easy to say "nope, just end it".

Not really. It's more like:

Everyone ending

One innocent ending to keep everyone else alive

That's more challenging.

You don't need a smartphone to make calls.

That's pricey.

Letting him rot in jail is perfectly reasonable. Let him live with it. There are fates worse than death and that IS justice in my eyes.

"Free Open Source Software"

I think.

Sync is the odd man out because even though it's free to use, it's ad driven, and then there's a yearly subscription service for no ads.

Honestly, it's a good app with a good developer. If supporting good work is your thing, I see no reason to use it free or with subscription. It supports him, and if you don't like it...you always have FOSS apps which arent as polished but completely free.

FOSS apps are important because they'll always be the standard of "acceptable" and alternative apps MUST be better if they want you to give up your hard earned time and money for it.

Just take a look at Reddit.

Going to lose a family friend to pancreatic cancer in a few months. The life expectancy after symptoms is like 6months. It's brutally fast.

The problem is the speed. This research might not "stop" this form of cancer, but if it opens up roads to makes it more detectable? So we can get to it earlier to treat it or manage it. I'll take that.

Maybe we can move that number from 6 months life expectancy to something that would give some more time. Maybe we could stop it all together. Whatever it is, all information is useful in the fight. I just hope we get some mileage out of this soon before it takes more loved ones.

I'm okay with that if they're willing to stone themselves to death for adultery as well.

Usually the people who want to stone others don't want themselves included in the stoning.

I'm sure there's a high percentage of adulterers in that group.

There are definitely conditions and reasons to do drug holidays with medications. They are recommended, I know this.

For sure, with everything, it's different for everyone. And everyone's needs need to be catered.

Oh bipolar meds aren't the same as adhd stims, totally different, you're absolutely right.

We do take med holidays for other conditions.

Taking a holiday from stimulant adhd meds allows our body to come down to "normal" chemical levels again so that when we really need to take it, the effect from the meds is better.

Im not your doctor but maybe non-stim might work better? Or every other day dose timing with extended release formulas. There are ways to get the meds you need and live normally. No need to feel like some crazy animal for weeks on end.

There is a reason for doing it that way.

I remember complaining to my dad about this exact thing saying that people just look it up in real life. He told me that in the end, the grade that I get will only tell future employers that I am more or less "teachable" compared to others.

What you studied, specifically, didn't matter. It's how well you learned the material in a short period of time, then cranked out correct answers in a time-pressure situation.

If you can do that quickly, you get a better grade, which tells people that you are a better candidate for a position.

Basically this. Knowledge is power. People who feel empowered tend to be in better control of their life trajectory and have a better chance to elevate their happiness. Happiness helps avoid the depression spiral that seems to have gripped so many people.

Removing access to free eduction resources and replacing it with a soft-juvi-rehab will only hurt people in the long run.

"You're not doing well in school? Failing some classes and need more help? How about we try suspension for 2 weeks to fix that?"

Feels like a problem that's related to a lack of librarians and libraries.

For sure the quantity of posts is the same, but the quality has gone down.

You can just feel it all over. My frontpage has little to no good topics anymore. I used to peruse for at least 30 mins easily losing myself. I barely get 5 now before getting irritated with the low effort material.

Absolutely this.

Too few role models on how to act like a well-adjusted and reasonable person. When the smallest social misconduct happens today it's like people want to either explode into a fit of rage or implode into this crying mess.

Getting a good eye on priority comes from socializing out in the world and or volunteering your time and energy for something that doesn't pay you money but helps someone in need. It can teach so much at such a young age because you're surrounded by some of the best and worst people you'll ever meet.

Anybody else hearing the words in that screechy voice?

Maybe The Other Guys (2010)
