That my view is narrow
Yes. Your view is narrow. You do not care about the technical details and just label Firefox as “bad/broken” because you do not know how to work with it. That is a pretty narrow view. You do not care about the idealogical reasons that people bring up in here either.
and that developers somehow can’t have narrow views.
I am expecting a person that is talented enough to be a developer to not have narrow views.
With all due respect, I disagree. As long as people that are uneducated on sex exist there will always be children born. And there will always be uneducated people around. So we are covered on that.
I think what your mother implies by her words is that no one’s life will be perfect. I’m an optimistic person so that is total bullshit to me. What I’m asking for is far from perfection. I really do not think being financially stable/independent and being away from my parents is a lot to ask for.
This is a complicated question. I hate kids. Multiple. They are loud, dumb. But when there’s only one kid, I actually really like interacting with them! It’s so much fun to forget who I am for a moment and play games with a kid! I love teaching new things to them and seeing them try them out.
I will only “have” a kid when the conditions are ideal. That being, finacially stable and away from my family. I do not want them to corrupt the kid’s mind with their religion bullshit. A partner for me is not neccesary. I also plan on adopting a kid rather than making one. Infant or a kid? I’m uncertain.
I want you to point them out.
I want the latter. Being famous and rich will give me the power to spend my wealth on causes that I deem worthy. It will also give me the power to infulence people to some extent in order to achieve my goals.
We don’t see it as that we are sloppy but that Firefox is not a good browser. We came to that conclusion because no other browser acts like that.
Your views seem to be very narrow despite being a developer.
I am not entirely sure if it’s related or not but I’m working on a story with a similar concept. A man is trapped in a room inside his mind for a very long time. The room is shaped according to his personality. But how would that look, exactly? I imagine him to be an intellectual and an inventor. Therefore, there would be books and electronic compoments in the room. As the time goes on the room begins to break down. The walls crack, lights dim, objects expire, darkness takes over as his mind darkens and he goes insane. Not completely insane. He still remembers who he is and his memory is intact. But his goals, manners etc. have changed. But is simply making the room decay enough to portray the state of his mind? The room is still recognizable which means he still has qualities from his former self. And that is true. But I also plan on showing a larger scale place that surrounds the room. I am conflicted wheather those areas should look similar to his room or look different than it to imply most things in his mind have changed?
I personally use Thunder. It looks great.
I apologize for the late reply. I was really busy these few days.
OP, do you mind if I ask what your native language is?
Well I do not mind. It’s Turkish.
I think it depends on what you are expecting out of the conversation. The chances are they will be excellent listeners. Buf that’s about it unless something is wrong with them or you.
Reminds me of the broken arms guy on Reddit
I’m usually cheerful around people but when they compliment me out of the blue I just get quiet. I’m not thinking about anything either. My mood decreases. It’s not that I devalue myself. Deep down I am disgustingly egoist. However I don’t inflict any of that on others. People wouldn’t classify me as an egoist at all. Perhaps it’s my ego that’s causing this? I’m unsure.
I think because I don’t believe them. But there a number of people that I respect and value the opinion of. What they say about me is absolutely true. But I still act the same towards their compliments.
While I did not go through any kind of things that you have, though I did meet a few people who tried to use my own abilities against me in order to feel above me, sometimes I do suspect if the compliments I’m getting are genuine or not. I just toss those kind of thoughts away immediately. Most of the time it doesn’t even come to suspecting the compliments. I disregard them.
I’m an extrovert, and I was a gifted kid. I haven’t been gaslit about my abilities, and I was supported and encouraged as a kid. I know what I’m capable of, and I know my limitations. I love myself, and wouldn’t choose to be anyone else.
I’m the exact same. Well, perhaps saying “exact” is too much. Let’s just say “similar” instead. I love myself so much.
To me, compliments feel like someone passing judgement on me, like they’re putting themselves in a place above me so they can judge me. I’m aware that’s not what they’re doing, but that’s always been what it feels like to me.
While I personally think they aren’t judging me, I sometimes feel like I’m doing exactly what you have described when I compliment people. I try to compliment people whenever I can in order to make them feel good and while it works, I feel like I’m above them for doing so.
Despite my overall independent nature I find the thought of someone out there being just like me comforting.
Of course! Who doesn’t want an AI overlord looming over us all the time? Even the thought excites…
I don’t want to comment on Cock and Ball Torture but I will say that eccentric people will help you see life in a much wider window than before.
Les Misérables is easily the best book I’ve ever read in my entire life. A few years ago I read a shorthened version of it and even then I was fascinated by it. I finished reading the full text two months ago and oh my fucking god this book is the best thing ever written.
I’m Turkish so I read the Turkish translation (will read the full text in English and French when I learn it) and on the back of it, it says something along these lines:
“… Les Misérables is the third and the most majestic collumn of the author’s novel trilogy that tells of the society…”
And I completely agree with that. This book is simply timeless. The characters, situations, unjustice, inequalities, all the suffering in it could be applied to any society. This book is real.
The messages that it sends are solutions to topics that seemingly anybody with a functioning brain should be capable of thinking and realizing. And yet, these solutions are ignored and refused because of greed, revenge, bloodlust and most important of all, ignorance.
The main character of the book, Jean Valjean is the embodiment of redemption. His entire arc teaches us how to treat criminals. Some countries today are taking these lessons and applying them. The lessons being; treat them as human, rehabilitate them. The result? They actually do heal and return to society as normal human beings.
And yet you see people against this practice. Those kinds of people are blinded by bloodlust and revenge. They are the same kind of people that were racist, sexist and much more back in the day. The arguments that these people bring don’t hold up either. The most common one I see (at least from my perspective) is this:
“You wouldn’t react this way if they hurt one of your loved ones!”
The fact that these people don’t know anything about me aside, this argument is pointless as it implies that I would be blind to fact and logic when I’m in pain. And while that is true, me being angry over an apple falling onto my head won’t make gravity any less real. In other words, so what?
The biggest victims of this mentality are pedofiles. Not the ones that do engage in action. But rather the ones that don’t harm anybody are aware of their issue. For instance, if a non-engaging pedo went to a therapist and told them of their issue, what would the therapist do? Call the police of course. And what would that do? Their life would be pretty screwed from that point forward. Assuming they are the non-engaging type, of course. I don’t believe this to be the correct attitude towards these kind of cases.
I would also like to dive into other topics that the book covers (and perhaps extend on this one) but it would be way too long for a comment. Thank you anyone reading this far. I would like to hear your opinions on the matter and discuss even!
