As a user of a small, privacy respecting VPN, Cloudflare is both great and awful. It's great because Cloudflare captchas are single click usually while Google captchas go for infinity. It's awful because just as often as I benefit from Cloudflare, I also get blocked by Cloudflare.
scientists dont tell you not to, the government does. scientists say it's probably not a good idea, but not that you can't.
Thats terrifying, especially given that the ocean is potentially more dangerous than space. the power of water is not to be underestimated
This is really dumb imo (the other people). My friend and I both like to be agents of chaos sometimes, so when we play Secret Hitler it's a nightmare because even if we're not on the same team we just cause so much mayhem and have everyone doubting everything. Isn't the fun in the chaos and confusion???
This is really interesting because I'm a very casual bird observer and occasionally try to whistle to get their attention, but I hadn't thought about this aspect of it!
First ex would threaten to kill herself everyday if I didn't bend over backwards for her.
Also shit that my parents did but they were young and dumb trying to raise a kid and our relationship is actually very solid now
I mean there is also a massive amount of underreporting of sexual violence from that time and if you were born a man then there's a good chance that if you were respectful you may have never been in the room where someone was getting assaulted or harassed. That's not your fault, I'm glad you might not have been one of the shitty people to hurt others, but I'm pretty sure this shit has been happening a long time.
coming from a no-so-old dude who believes in respect and vibing.
Holy shit dude that's not a perspective i had considered before. that's massive damn. i need to chew on this for a sec but i genuinely appreciate this. i think your analysis is very accurate and helps me reframe the issue. it would explain why i feel like im making so little progress, because I'm not debugging the actual issue. thank you again!
You're making judgements on people's utility and ability based on the volatile reactions of man who admits to having issues. That creates toxic environments where people are not encouraged to do better, but any amount of change is due to fear of repercussions. This does not promote growth or new ideas that would genuinely improve something, but rather a fear of failure if they attempt something new. This also isn't useful programming criticism because the actual useful criticism is buried in an emotional slurry that's going to make something less receptive to the useful information.
and honestly, as someone who has done stick and weapon fighting, you 1000% accidentally bop yourself in the head from time to time. With blades you tend to be a lot more careful and the way you hold it can make it difficult for those bops to be dangerous, but a lightsaber is basically a sword that's all blade.
I hated the chat function. DMs make sense, that stupid chat never did. And as I didn't really browse Reddit from my desktop (it was always a mobile app for me) and I used Boost, I never consistently checked my chats.
My friend recently introduced the concept of the machine spirit to me; the idea that all computers and machines have spirits and that the more complex and complicated the machine and software, the higher the level of technomage required to submit it. Most computers and desktops have low machine spirits so people with basic knowledge can make it work, but machines with purpose or that are complicated require high level technomages to operate. I think about that sometimes when I can fix my friends stuff in minutes but my machine will have issues that take days or weeks to fix.
