If those two shitheads said we should drink more water I’d check with other sources first.

Fuck them. I hope they both die for what they’ve done

In another thread someone was saying that conservatives follow a worldview of “whatever works for me right now”. There’s no internal consistency or facts. This explains a lot. It looks a lot like being stupid, but i think is something slightly different

You shouldn’t do the George W Bush “Believe the same thing on Monday as Wednesday, no matter what happens Tuesday” thing, no. But you should ideally have some underlying belief system that’s more sophisticated than “What is best for me right now?”

The whole “the only moral abortion is my abortion” thing is understandable but also kind of reprehensible. People will make a big stink about how abortion is murder, only horrible people do it because they suck at life. And then they have a pregnancy, and they’re like “oh well this is different.” If you’re not going to reconcile those, you’re shit. You can say “I was wrong, and the people I was shitting on were in positions like I am now. I didn’t understand, and now I do. I was wrong.”

You’re not required by cosmic forces to defend past beliefs, but a decent person can acknowledge where and why they changed.

Someone elsewhere on lemmy made the argument that conservatives essentially live in the eternal now. Any position is at that moment evaluated on if it’s good for them/their-group or not. Past responses don’t matter. Internal consistency doesn’t matter. It’s just “is this good for me right now?”

They’re trash people, essentially.

That’s excessive for typical people. The flowers and chocolate are going to look like you’re expressing romantic interest, which is inappropriate to do to a child.

People are making these decisions. Shitty people. And engineers are implementing it.

Can’t we stop them? Why can’t we stop them? I’m so tired of people going out of their way to make things worse. I just want to backhand someone

I still remember being really mad I missed the “added effect” materia in the original FF7. You can never ever go back to that cave, so if you don’t turn around to pick it up you never get it. Pain.

Everyone involved in this decision should be shot.

What happened to all the republicans crying about “government shouldn’t be picking winners and losers”? Oh right, they’re hypocritical little shits that should be in the ground.

So tired of everything trash because like a third of the country has less emotional maturity than a toddler.

Conservatism isn’t rational. It is fear and hate. It’s a child slamming their head into the floor sobbing because their teddy bear is wearing the wrong shirt.

They should not be allowed to make decisions of any import.

Fuck her. Sheepshead Bay has pretty good subway access, too. You don’t really need a car there, I don’t think.

Sidebar defaults are bad. There’s no home directory. How do you get to your home directory? Cmd+shift+H, but can you get there without that special shortcut? You can’t see the file system’s structure in Finder. The GUI doesn’t have a way to go “up” in the directory structure. I don’t think you can do it in the GUI alone.

It won’t let you see stuff in like \tmp\ without a fight, too. I don’t know how to open stuff in places like that without cd’ing to the location in the terminal, and doing open . in the desired directory.

The list view is the least bad, but it gets unwieldy if your directories are deeply nested. It’s also bad if you started in the middle of the tree and want to go up. Gallery and column view are really bad for anything non trivial.

I often want to see the entire file path, and it really doesn’t want to cooperate. If I do find the file I’m looking for, and want the full path, it doesn’t want to give it. I don’t even know if there is a way to get it. Other than like cmd+clicking -> “new iterm2 tab here” -> pwd, which is not really that helpful of Finder.

Contrast with windows’ default explorer. It’s not perfect and I think windows11 made it worse, but still. Open it up, there’s the “my pc”, click through to my user directory, music, some album, then i can click the top thing and get the path. I can also see the whole tree on the left.

Whatever I was using in Mint was similar to windows’ Explorer. Had no complaints about it.

I guess most everyone else that works at microsoft is cool with this.

Saint Luigi guide us.

What. What?? Finder is the fucking worst. It doesn’t have a sensible tree view, does it?

I think everywhere I’ve worked has said “we have 20% time for tech debt” but has never actually done that. It’s always “we need to ship this by end of week” and “the CEO wants us to add the thing we said we’d cut so we could make the deadline”.

I dated someone for a couple months who was really into cycling. Like, she’d ride from NYC up to Storm King (~75 miles) for funsies. She had the body of a greek god. (Was also super smart and pursuing an interesting career. I’m still sad she dumped me, but she was reasonably kind about it.)

Right. You can’t pick the lesser evil in the election today, then go do nothing, and expect good outcomes.

Harm reduction has a place but it’s not the whole solution

Any modern robin hood would be vilified and most people would believe it.

Monogamy often allows some less healthy facets of people flourish. Sometimes people will be like “oh I’m just so jealous I can’t help it. I don’t like when he plays soccer on that co-ed community team, so I don’t let him”. Like, what. That’s so immature and untrusting.

Every time I see this I think about opportunity costs. What got skipped in favor of this dubious effort?
