America, land of development. /s
It doesn’t surprise me considering how long it took for them to allow women to vote, how long it took them to establish civil rights for blacks, how long it took them to legalize same sex marriage (that’s going to be undone at somepoint in the future).
Cool story, Firefox. Doesn’t change anything about what you personally done.
I’ve thought on and off about being a software developer since I had ideas I wanted to execute for the benefit of myself and others. But, I’m more of a labor type that wants to move around. I can’t stand the idea of sitting for hours on end every day, coupled with all of the negatives involved with office culture and what you’ve listed.
Doesn’t matter. Long as the tool lasts and does its job.
Holy shit that mug of his, aging like sour milk. Hope the reaper makes his life great again.
Minimalism is really the way to go in a world that is obsessed with consumerism. I feel the word and idea of ‘Consumer’ is dirty because it dehumanizes someone, like capitalism only sees people as cattle with wallets. Only existing to buy, subscribe, buy, subscribe and buy. That’s not a life to live.
I’ve been in homes of friends where they are messy with so much stuff, it’s hoarding, they don’t know what to do with it all and are isolated between not only mental illness but also attachment. It feels so wrong being in the middle of that.
I’ve also been disgusted with myself for indulging on just filling my apartment with stuff. Buying things I think I’d like or find use in, but eventually ditching because I’m invalidating myself. I’m buying things for some form of validity, like as if someone is going to burst through the door and asking me questions about what I have so I can talk about them. Who the hell am I trying to impress? I live alone, by myself, no friends in my immediate location. Why am I getting things that ultimately do not matter?
There’s an article I read awhile ago and I think this should be read by fellow minimalists It’s a practice I’ve been doing, because simply just cutting things cold turkey, has never worked for me. Because eventually old emotions linger back and old habits try to come back and I’ll fall into them again where I’m just spending money for the sake of spending money. It is best for people to take on the dissolving tactic to find some sense of closure before cleansing your surrounding and yourself from consumerism.
I’m in my mid-thirties and I know that I’m going to be not as marketable to people even 5 years younger than me. I have a soft spot for older people and have been attracted to those twenty or ten years from me. The conflicting part I keep approaching is that if I theoretically date one of them, they’re going to die before I will and I’m not sure I’m equipped to handle it when they get older and are going to need a lot of assistance. I mean if the love is strong enough, exceptions may be made but I’m still uncertain.
Love can age like wine, but it varies from person to person.
Obviously I’m going to find those 10 years younger than me attractive, but is it really because it’s their personality or because I’m wondering how they look without their clothes? Their personality would probably wind me down quick so it’s physical at this stage.
Either you’re trolling or you’re exaggerating.
No, thank you for making it all happen.
That’s because there’s nothing he can do that is useful or helpful. Just a body with a title.
It’s already happening, not this aggressive. My kia vehicle for example, it will display a prompt screen on the dashboard. Telling me about how I have X days of service left. It is telling me, indirectly, that I need to change my oil or do something when I looked up what it was.
Ubuntu has been in quite its own mess and having an identity crisis now.
Windows taking a page out of Apple’s book. Apple’s way of forcing you to buy new products from them is when they make slightly more newer things of the same-ish specs, with minor tweaks and with massive marketing pushes. And support starts dropping quickly.
Windows seems to be doing this, by passively telling you to do it. The biggest plus with PCs over Apple, is we decide when we want to upgrade. Until you make a better OS, which is unlikely Microsoft, I’ll upgrade my hardware when I want to and if push comes to shove, I’ll get Linux or I’ll pirate your damn OS like I have done for the past 5 Windows OSes.
Unless the guy in the article is posting here, I don’t understand why my comment was removed. I was right, the guy looks like an incel and I’m not backing down from that opinion.
Be peaceful until it’s no longer an option to be peaceful.
This one, kbin.melroy.org and that’s all I’m ever signing up for.

Republicans are all about theatrics and gotcha moments. I feel this is another of those. Remember the McConnell/Trump rivalry? Political Theater. Remember Bush (W. Bush)/Trump rivalry? Political Theater. This is going to be one of them.
“What’s 2 + 4?”
“JESUS!”
“Where is Copper on the elemental table?”
“GOD!”
“If Jimmy bought 3 apples for 5 cents a piece, how many apples would he need to buy to reach $2?”
“UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…JESUS AND GOD!”
