In a weird way, having emotionally available and supportive parents is absolutely a privilege. People are able to develop empathy in spite of bad parents, and good parenting isn't a guarantee to a good person, but parenting is a major factor for life success. I wish it weren't, and I hope we can build a society that could guarantee every child full opportunities.
Did you watch it by yourself or in a group?
Bad movies are much better in groups.
Yeah I'm trying to temper my expectations, but given that Taskmaster is my favorite show and Zooks is one of my favorite comedian, I'm pretty hyped. I think he's a great casting choice and generally always amps up the energy in a really fun way.
It upsets me that my enjoyment of the meme was lessened by the clearly incorrect spelling of li'l. I wish I could just look past it. What's wrong with me?
I remember naming one of my Oregon Trail characters "God". The words "God has cholera" still make me laugh, and this just reminded me.
It's an important distinction that the majority of America does not want this, they're just paralyzed for various reasons (many of which are self inflicted, but many of which are due to the greed-fueled erosion of our societal connections).
Chess is a war game. Killing and violence in general are devastating. It'd be interesting to compare the brain activity of a murderer with a grandmaster player. I have my suspicions about what we would see.
Eh, still about 50-50 with these people. I've sent an email with 4 nicely formatted and numbered questions and had them respond only to question 3. Like... You read some of it, decided to answer one, and then give up with no other acknowledgement? Shit is wild.
I knew that was poison swamp immediately. Cool area though!
It's honestly so many people! How did admitting you are wrong become so painful for so much of society?
So what are better icebreaker questions? I admit I often ask these types of questions in social situations with new people, but usually I get very little back.
What definition of rage are you working off of? To be honest, it sounds like you're talking about general anger.
I'd LOVE a resource like that! I'm sure it exists but I never found it, and it is a silly thing to be hung up on but I just didn't properly understand the folder structure. I've still used Linux plenty but I'm dragging my feet on using it as a daily driver, but I'm VERY close to making the jump.
I can't really explain it. I didn't really like beer at all (and had actively tried to see if I could like it for years). A friend had me try a pineapple ipa and it was like a switch flipped in my brain. It started with IPAs and somehow now I like most beer now.
Tastes are weird.
Calls and easily sharing my screen are 90% of my use cases for Discord. The entire appeal of it initially was that it was a more functional Ventrilo with both text and voice channels. Hopefully something FOSS gets further developed by the time Discord completely shits the bed.
That's fair, but for awhile that setting only worked on desktop, and various apps still may or may not respect the setting. I've never encountered someone who enjoys this being on be default.
It's obviously not great for the type of community that's about knowledge sharing and learning, and it does suck that a lot of communities went there.
But it's a great platform for simple social servers that are just about communicating. It's super easy to sign up and set up a server. A lot of it just works well for chat.
Them going public probably puts a timer on the service though, so if it happens Discord probably just will get worse.
HEY YOU'RE RIGHT! The people organizing and participating in this believe that this one day of action will solve every abstract problem that exists! I also have simplistic understanding of protest and goals! I also prefer to be snarky at anyone attempting to voice dissent towards the insanity happening in our country!
I'm really sorry to go over the top here, but seriously, there's no fucking handbook for what we're going through right now. There's no questgiver telling us concrete steps to take down objectively evil people. There's just people trying to figure out how to connect with each other and how to collectively voice dissent. Maybe we should give more credit to people doing imperfect things than to those doing nothing other than pointing out how imperfectly those things are.
Long cat! He looks just like mine.
