LOL, this was great. Im a big guy who wears shorts cause I like the cold, and I have to ask, what other answer do yall expect to the stupid question of "aren't you cold?" or "how are you not cold?"
The ideas in the first book and the (to me, novel) insights into some Chinese history etc, kept me involved in the first book. The characters were shittily written, especially the final American bad guy who was an underdeveloped trope more than a character.
I barely got through the second book. It had some interesting ideas, but far fewer. The main conciet they build up to is hollow.
I started the third book, on tape this time. I have a long commute and it is always my last choice of what to listen to.
If ridicule keeps the percentage at 0.5% instead of growing to 1% its incredibly virtuous
That if is doing a lot of lifting. One of the points of the movie is that people and media was laughing off the flat earthers and they grew in strength to have a national movement.
I feel the same, but find things getting shittier and shittier. I'm paying more and more for less and less. Then I stumble on an open source project that does all that I want and it's free.
Bitwarden vs LastPass
Joplin vs Evernote
A million different foss projects for all the shit Google has shut down...
Sometimes spending a little time setting stuff up, ends up saving a huge hastle migrating away from the commercial project that is going to fail unless they fuck over their users.
My takeaway is there is something driving that contrarian attitude. We need to figure out how to address those underlying causes rather than exacerbating them through ostracization.
Really good documentary. I watched it while trying to engage over at reddit's AskTrumSupporters. It was interesting to see that community become more and more radicalized as the years went on, as the insane bullshit piled up. Helped me come to terms with the fact that engaging on that level is counter productive if anything.
Is it more moral to force a child into a life where they cant afford basic necessities, where the people who are supposed to watch over them dont want them, dont love them? Is that moral?
And don't you dare bring up adoption. With abortion legal 20,000 kids age out of foster care every year. that number is undoubtedly going to increase.
Have a timer count down in their vision. Like 100 hrs. They close their eyes and the timer pauses. They have vision for 100 hours, that's it. Choose how to use it.
If they can't squeeze every last ounce of life out of you, they aren't getting what they pay for.
I'm a manager now, probably not a very good one. We have more work than there is time for. It's obvious who is producing what. For us, there are some things you have to be in the office for, but there is PLENTY that can be done from home.
