I actually love email. While yes, this post is accurate, email is the most filterable communication system that I have. Since I have my own email-server, and I know how procmail rules work, I can tightly control who is allowed to contact me, and what folders their messages go into. It also has great crowd-sourcing of known spammers, that I can pull from to help me filter out spammy IP addresses.

Every other message system only has a “report spam” button, that is dependent on the service admins, and doesn’t actually stop people from sending me annoying junk-mail.

You would be surprised how many people “don’t know why they feel bad”, and “don’t know how that got in there”. People will go through a lot to avoid admitting that they like things in the poop-chute

No, I don’t. In fact, their wikipedia page shows activity up to 2022

The Twilight Zone episode was Shatner, the Twilight Zone movie was Lithgow. Both are great and worth a watch

Not usually. I don’t typically look too much at the instances I’m interacting on to know if they care about reports or not.

Anyways, the point I’m making is that your experience was just being unlucky with the quality of the professors you got and the style of teaching they favored.

I think the problem is that experience is pretty common (at leat for my experience in the US). I only learned to love math later in life because I started getting interested in physics, and then I realized that math wasn’t rote memorization.

I generally tag people who are being shitty. It’s totally fine if they disagree with me about things, or downvote me or whatever. But if they just insult others, or openly lie/mislead, or yell at others without bringing an actual argument, then they start getting tags. After enough tags, they get blocked.

The good news is, you have no tags! :)

It’s insane to me that this just now came out

On the west coast. Most polls that I’ve seen show that those aren’t progressive values, they are the vaules that most people have. The Democrats just keep chosing unpopular positions, because they care more about their donors than voters.

I feel like “lets stop bombing children”, or “maybe people shouldn’t go bankrupt because of healthcare”, or “maybe the rich should pay their taxes”, or “stop backing a genocide”, or “we should probably get rid of torture facilities” are a far cry from “obliged to only vote for perfect candidates that they agree with 100% on everything.”

I’m all for voting for a candidate I don’t totally agree with, I do it every time. But lets not pretend that the Democrats are doing a good job of reaching out to their voter-base. There’s a reason their current polling is so low.

Behind the Insurrectionists

A lot of what he talks about prior to previous insurrections are pretty similar to what’s happening now.

Let me donate directly to Firefox development. Stop giving their terrible executives giant piles of money.

I literally wrote a script to automate sending funny videos and links to my SO.

It works with yt-dlp!

But yeah, we probably shouldn’t be posting links to closed-off systems |:P

I moved to using a safety razor and it works great. You can get blades for super cheap.

Also, I don’t need shaving cream, just hot water in my shower. That doesn’t always apply to everyone though. Some people’s skin/hair are different, and they need different things to shave.

I use a password manager, which auto-types the password, and I still have this happen to me.
