It’s almost like people won’t publicly criticize the government when the government imprisons and kills people who publicly criticize it and their families.

I know it’s photoshopped because I was there and Obama was wearing an eyepatch. The image used for the meme shows all four of his eyes.

That photoshopped meme of Obama putting a medal on himself also fits.

Take my morning medicine with a tall glass of water, then roll over and sleep for some 20 minutes until it kicks in and I can force myself to get up. Then, breakfast, water the plants and shower.

Dehydrated water: just add water.

Good, maybe in two or three more years Windows 11 will be useable. Right on time for Windows 12 to roll out and drag Microsoft users back to the Stone Age again.

There’s a difference between time not passing and not existing. To a photon, space (in the direction of its movement) doesn’t exist, as its origin and destination points are the same. But time does not pass - the axis of time is there, but the photon never budges in either direction, like a rock buried in the middle of the desert doesn’t move in any spatial direction on a human timescale. The photon’s beginning and end aren’t simultaneous, quite the opposite. Since it can’t move in time, they might as well be infinitely far apart.

What exactly do you mean by “gifted”?

Photons exist, so there is the perspective of a photon. Most may not be absorbed but that’s irrelevant because some are. And when they are, their perspective - like them - ends. Like yours does when you die.

The photon does not experience time, but we do, so from our perspective they can be emitted and absorbed even though from their perspective they are timeless. Again, like us. Before you were born, you didn’t experience being not alive. From your own perspective, you’ve always existed, even though from the perspective of someone older than you, there was a time when you didn’t.

How exactly is it racist?

Thank you so much, I’m going to keep that quote in my hat from now on.

I tested high on the IQ scale. I’m single, unemployed and have trouble making friends. I agree with you completely. Having a high IQ does not substitute for life skills nor does it make you happy.

The flip side is that having an extremely low IQ can make it very hard for you to navigate the world and perform basic tasks.

I’m not even going to check if that’s misattributed because I want to believe that it isn’t.

I don’t resent anyone else for not being able to do what I do, because I’m aware that I can’t do stuff that others can.

IQ is just one kind of intelligence. I have a high IQ (or had one ten years ago when I took a test, anyway), good body awareness, passable social intelligence and really, really low emotional intelligence. I suck at dealing with my feelings. So for every time somebody is complaining about some problem they have where I find the solution trivial, you can bet there’s another time when I’m complaining about some stuff I’m dealing with where they’re thinking “duh, just do this, that’s obvious”.

I wouldn’t say I “cope” with it. I just accept it. People are different, we all have our strengths and weaknesses, and I think that being bothered by other people’s weaknesses is a huge weakness in itself. I have a bit of that weakness (I think everyone does, it’s frustrating to see people stumble over stuff that you take in stride) but when I feel that way, I just remind myself that it’s my own weakness that makes theirs bother me in the first place, so it’s my problem and my fault, and I move on.

¿Por qué no los dos?

That’s pretty much it. Systemd goes against the philosophy of “do one thing, and do it well” by doing a whole lot of things and being integrated to an extent that makes it pretty much impossible to use only an arbitrary subset of its components while replacing the rest with alternatives. I understand where the critics are coming from, but I honestly don’t care either way.

Getting sick in the USA is like going to one of those fancy restaurants where the prices aren’t on the menu and are always a lot higher than they should be, eh.

Be that as it may, the quality of Reddit’s content has dropped significantly. The people who left were the heart and soul of the platform. And the ones who didn’t leave are still pissed. Bluntly, the site’s gone to shit. It will not recover.

Will it shut down? Probably not, but that’s why I said “in every way that matters”. Digg hasn’t shut down either, even after all these years, but it has become completely irrelevant. Just give Reddit time to bleed out and it will be the same.

It’s not mental gymnastics, but fine. I won’t beleaguer the point. What about the rest of my comment?
