It’s not a booger, and it takes half a second to figure out it’s not one. You don’t have to “stare”, yet decide to do it, and to share the news on a public forum. If that’s not pride, what are you trying to convey, here? The fact it triggers revulsion for you is not anyone’s problem but yours lol
I’m in Canada. Go back not even 20-30 years ago, parents were still piercing their babies’ ears pretty regularly. It’s a pretty recent phenomenon that people started waiting for their children to grow older. Many still do it.
IMHO… A tiny 18g earring like they’re doing to babies is not particularly invasive, takes a handful of hours to stop being sore, will extremely rarely infect if done by a reputable piercer, and will naturally close back up once removed. As far as controversial practices go, earrings are amongst the most inconsequential. Permanent body altering stuff like non-medical circumcision, now this, I have an issue with…
I fully believe that everything that actually is possible is already being worked on as quickly as possible.
That’s either very optimistic about our level of knowledge about the universe, or a purely semantic thing where you count the precursor technology of another technology that would eventually be the major breakthrough as “already being worked on”…
Exactly this. There are some things I usually ask about every interview that kind of shows my hand about what I’m looking for, but also forces them to either answer me, or eliminate themselves as candidates in my mind.
However it’s important to note that this only holds true when you’re an in demand sector, where you aren’t an easily replaceable token. Otherwise they can just skip over you as too much potential trouble lol
I just answered your question. If one wants latest up to date, LTS release-based distros are just not an option. You do you lol.
FWIW, I only reach out for Flatpak if I can’t find something natively. Unless you just use your DE as is without changing the look of things, making your apps look consistent is made pretty complicated by the requirement for your theme to be repackaged and distributed on flatpak. The sandboxed nature also can get annoying for certain types of apps (e.g. IDEs which tend to reach out for external tooling pretty often, etc). I also tend to trust my distro’s packagers a bit more than randos on flathub, but maybe that’s just me.
I’m what you could describe as an optimistic nihilist. I understand it might now satisfy everyone, but for me, the certitude that we’ll ultimately all be forgotten and erased from existence, as time passes and the universe slowly drifts into heat death, is an extremely liberating idea. The lack of an objective overarching meaning to life means that I can choose one for myself, and I genuinely think the best way to do it is to try to make everyone’s time on this drifting ball of rock and magma suck as little as possible.
All this to say, I don’t really fear my own death, but the impacts it’s going to have on the people I love.
Every time I see these comments, I wonder if I was just lucky with my scrum masters and most actually suck, or if it’s confirmation bias. We don’t have a scrum master where I work, but my whole job as lead is keeping things rolling, and this would be just unacceptable.
Did I miss something OP said that made you think that? I’d indeed be happy I could smoke again, too. There’d be existential crisis and all, too, but cigarette would 100% be back. Man, and it’s been like 10 years, imagine someone who just quit lol
I haven’t really looked at his content in a good while. He seems to have gotten more confident in front of the camera. Some of his earlier stuff felt quite awkward at times, IMHO.
As usual with these laws, the people writing them are most likely completely removed from, don’t really care about, nor understand the underlying technologies they’re legislating on. Easiest example to illustrate this is looking at countries pushing for (or already adopting) anti-encryption and online age verification. It’s almost always with those half-measure laws that the most dystopian, privacy invading, abusable stuff gets voted through.
