I don't know who you talk with but "with all due respect" is followed by disagreeing with something you said. Not an insult. The disagreement could be dissmissive of your previous argument like "thats bullshit" which gets pretty close to an insult but its really just poor argumentation on their part. The problem is not with the phrase "with all due respect" its with the individual using it.
I mean this is seen all over. Spoiler crap is a big reason we are where we are. You pretty much have to assume this type of crap with all discourse now and realize that the big problems are wealth disparity and corps being given to much power along with that most people ultimately want a society were people have food and shelter and education and healthcare but they can be manipulated against their own values really. Its a crazy time.
I wonder if you played a video in the background on mute if it would keep it going. Sounds crazy but I have seen this type of thing work. Might even be helpful to fullscreen it on a a virtual desktop. Windows usually has four virtual desktops as a default last I knew even though most people do not use them.
I know I have used a gui on linux for users and groups. I find it hard to believe there is not longer a gui interface. same with starting and stopping services. I just went to the system monitor now and there is an option to kill processes on my laptop and my settings has a gui for adding and removing users. It does not have groups but im not running a distro meant for the enterprise.
As functioning as most others. I often point to the 70's as sorta an ideal but I don't really mean that. Its just that we mostly seemed on a path of improvement and that started to erode in the 80's onward and now is seriously eroded. As limited as american democracy was it was still, no pun intended, revolutionary for its time and for awhile was not expected to last. We were pretty much at the forefront until the post ww2 period where we got fat and lazy, but again the conversation was there and we continued to push for reforms. When we did not have universal healthcare by the 70's it was getting long in the tooth and honestly we were holding down europe at that point (out competition I think kept them from expanding further). Honestly if it was not for ww2 it would be more clear that europe was beating us. France had the 40 hour workweek a year before us and that is telling.
So reading the title I came to say yes with a caveat but you included the caveat. The thing is self interest is ultimately about happiness but humans don't always understand what brings it. Drug use is sorta the basest level. Chasing literal physcial sensation of pleasure. Sex addiction would be next which is really just chasing drugs that our body naturally makes. Same with danger addiction and such. Then you get to like food addiction. Next is money addicition which is sorta looking at it as a gateway to everything. Recognizing how important others are on different levels means a lot. Its a bit like the hierarchy of needs. You can maybe get physiological on ones own but after that any increase in actual happiness involves having to improve your environment and society and ultimately the earth. So I guess Im saying yes but people can pervert it for not seeing the forest for the trees.
Yes in a stressfull enough setting in a person suffering from mental health challenges themselves. Which is almost everyone at some point in their lives. It is its own call for help. Adults can be depressed and find life devoid of meaning or the meaning they cling to is failing them.
This is pretty much it. When folks are disapearin and theyre response is they are bad and now its to late oh well. No one is safe. Its literally the secret police.
I live near a metro so its not as noticable but yeah 50 years ago you would get some. More significantly you did not need to go far (you could reach it in a day trip. say within 2 hours away) and you would have your windshield plastered. Basically out were you could see some farmland. Even in the 90's though going to school downstate you did not see much and Every so often I have trips across states and even down south and stays crystal clear. I will note besides insect decline there is a thing were more airodynamic vehicles don't get as many. The air flows around and the insects are more likely to survive. That being said just going camping and such im amazed at how few insects there are. I used to get eaten alive.
This is why I can't do crime. There are to many folks willing to do it for way less. I was just thinking that at most they get half value and then its split between however many. No thank you.
we are literally devolving into russia. russia is greatest county. russia is not spying on its citizens. the us now is how we portrayed russia in the 80's.
honestly their office suite is something I feel they did overall pretty well with. Granted plenty of changes and little things that aggravate me but hard to say as Im not actively using it. Outlook and excel in particular are standouts.
