People are complicated and can carry multiple, nuanced beliefs. There are people out there that support LGBTQ+ rights, think that drag is fun, and believe that people of color get treated unfairly systemically without also wanting to take up arms in a violent revolution against the established systems in America because social progress is still happening, albeit slowly.
Every social media platform(Yes, even the independent ones) tends to remove all nuance and push every issue as binary, and sometimes worse than that, it will bundle issues together. There are people here that will argue in all seriousness that if you voted for the candidate that would've pushed forward progressive policies, that you also support the genocide in Gaza.
You ever wonder how the right seems to move in lockstep while the left constantly debates between themselves about the details?
It's shit like this that fosters that attitude. If some people on the right can look at something like this and then really examine their positions then thats a win.
The goal with something like this isn't to get someone to 180 on their beliefs, they know that the government is untrustworthy. It's to have them really look at what they're supporting, and if they truly want those changes, after learning what it might cost them.
Kind of. There is one punctuation tell that you can typically use to tell if someone is older, and thats if they use ellipsis to separate thoughts rather than line breaks in informal settings.
Back in the day when you were writing on paper, space was a limited resource, so people that are more used to that will separate ideas with a '...' rather than starting a new paragraph because you can fit more text into a smaller footprint.
Come the turn of the millennium, digital writing became the norm and people that grew up surrounded by computers tend to use line breaks instead because space is not limited in the same way anymore.
My experience has been that most people only use a computer at work and use their phone or a smart TV for everything else. Although, they usually also own a laptop for when a computer is required
Could you go a year without a new certification, interview, award, or promotion and be OK with yourself for it?
Yes. Easily. My job isnt my whole life, as long as I feel good about the work I did over the year, I see no reason to change.
Would you think about a colleague, direct report, friend, or spouse differently for doing so?
No. Absolutely not. In fact, I'd be more worried that they'll burn out if all they think about is this shit, and tell them to get a hobby that isn't related to their job so that they can direct that energy somewhere other than getting pieces of paper that say "I can job good"
I think it's a bit more hopeful than that(America is still fucked short term, but humanity might be better off long term). Throughout history, people have been misinformed idiots that don't think critically. It's just that prior to about 2008, people didn't really have access to the deluge of information that is social media and we're still trying to figure that out.
The reason misinformation on social media works so well is that people want to learn things, and if someone tells them a believable enough lie, they'll take that as fact doing only minimal checks(eg: my friend whom I trust shared this article saying that it's the Mexican's fault I see so many homeless people, so it must be true).
Stuff like this has happened throughout history. People published absolutely insane things in books and presented them as fact for hundreds of years, and it set back things like science and medicine for equivalently long, as people didn't fact check things then either.
The fact that people are already hammering on about trying to fact check social media means that people are educated enough now to start, and we as a species just need another small push in that direction
It's bad practice to do it, but it makes it especially easy for end users who already trust both the source and the script.
On the flip side, you can also just download the script from the site without piping it directly to bash if you want to review what it's going to do before you run it.
I'm curious of some math. So let's look at Fireball as a spell.
Fireball at 3rd level in 5e does 8d6 of damage in a 20 foot radius, with half-damage on a dex save. Then, each higher level gives it an extra 1d6 damage.
Two base fireballs is 16d6 while a 9th level fireball is only 14d6 so obviously the sorcerer can do more damage total, but the wizard only takes one round to cast theirs, while the sorcerer takes two.
If the wizard casts their fireballs in decending order of power, then its:
14d6+13d6+2(12d6)+2(11d6)+3(10d6)+3(9d6)+4(8d6)
Mapping that to rounds looks like this:
We can see on this chart that it takes the sorcerer 21 rounds to roll more dice than the wizard does at 16 after expending all spell slots.
Ergo, Wizard is better if combat is less than 17 rounds 21 rounds
Sure, but if I only cared about nutrition I would get that all in pill form, and then get my calories through fats and oils to have a perfectly balanced diet.
Mushrooms taste good and that is reason enough to want to eat them.
I honestly prefer Valve's method. You as a consumer should be reading what you're buying before you purchase anyway, and you can still use their refund system if you somehow missed the warning.
Removing unfinished games from the storefront just increases the amount of lost media out there. These projects should be available for as long as possible simply for archival reasons.
It's probably the other way around. I can see him saying that paywalled subreddits won't have their data mined for LLMs so if you want to keep your content out of that mill, you better pay up.
My so-called introverted friends never want to go out clubbing on a Tuesday night because they only worry about the future like "Oh, if I go out with you tonight, then I'll be a zombie at work tomorrow". Like, live in the now and care about other people, like me!
As a corporate IT drone, usually the extension blocks come from on high and we have no say in what they are. Also, the users that are smart enough to figure out ways around the blocks are not who we are worried about protecting from themselves.
Don't ever expose your firewall/router management access to the Internet.
Install firmware updates asap.
Don't be a an attractive target for nation-state hackers.
Additionally, ensure that you are following best practices for your own data by enabling MFA wherever you can and dont re-use passwords for any service.
don't give a non-answer to someone's question. Ex. if someone asks how to do X, don't answer with, "Why are you trying to do X? You shouldn't want to do X. Do Y instead." Instead, explain what it would take to do X, and then offer Y as a possible alternative and why it may be a better option. But assume they already know about Y, and it doesn't fit their use-case.
I can get behind the spirit of this, but often times this is caused by people taking the wrong first steps to solve an issue and then getting lost in the weeds while asking for the solution to where they're stuck, rather than asking about the original problem. In this case, usually both X and Y are bad answers, and asking why they aren't doing Y can elucidate more about the whole situation.
