bionicjoey,

Oh shit. I didn’t even think of that. That makes a lot of sense.

bionicjoey,

I advise that you just don’t give a fuck if the order is coming through Amazon or not. Who’s to say whether they’re more evil than some other company that might fulfill your order. The thing you’re buying was probably made with exploitative labour practices from unethically sourced materials anyway. Simply shipping it to you is probably dependent on a global logistics network of fossil fuels and colonialism.

Just don’t think about it. There’s no way to buy things in this world and “do good” at the same time.

bionicjoey,

Personally I don’t believe that’s actually true. Some percentage of those people are NPCs whose models get culled as soon as I’m no longer looking at them.

bionicjoey,

I suppose that depends on which country you’re in… I’m in Canada and we’re going into an election year. Everything is getting slashed or frozen

bionicjoey,

P.S. I never use awk just for print $1 as many do. It’s an overkill.

cut is better for this use-case IMO. Awk is good for when cut won’t cut it.

bionicjoey,

Isn’t sshfs defunct now? I used to use it a lot.

bionicjoey,

You’re assuming I spend my time defending bad people, which I don’t do. I just use critical thinking and point out logical fallacies. I believe fallacies are always bad, even if they support a position I agree with.

bionicjoey, (edited )

Yeah that’s the way you’re meant to link communities. I was just being lazy

bionicjoey,

Okay but unless you are spending a lot of time in the command line, one (POSIX compliant) shell is as good as another. Like yes every distro needs a shell, but I don’t much care which shell it is.

bionicjoey,

Mine is like once every week or two.

bionicjoey,

My dog dry heaves sometimes. It looks like he’s gonna throw up but nothing comes out. I asked the vet and he said that it’s probably eating stuff he shouldn’t (which makes sense, he has a bad habit of grabbing stuff off the ground and trying to eat it on our walks)

Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong

I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...

bionicjoey,

I’m not a psychologist, so I can’t explain the exact theory, but basically my understanding is that self-confidence and self-esteem are linked to the concept of self-efficacy, which means the trust that your mind will be able to cope with the challenges presented to it. Low self-esteem and self-confidence are linked to all kinds of insecurities and challenges functioning.

Disclaimer: I recently began working on my own low self-confidence with my therapist and she pointed me to a book, the contents of which I’m mostly regurgitating here. The book is “The Six Pillars of Self-esteem” by Nathaniel Branden.

bionicjoey,

While that’s all true, there are a lot of productions where I assume basically nobody involved is actually proud of the thing they are trying to create. Like all those soulless cash grab movies that Illumination pumps out. I figure basically everyone there is just trying to collect a paycheck

bionicjoey,

Sounds like you view the people with the tribalism gene as “them” and those who don’t carry that gene as “us”. Perhaps you are more tribalist than you think…

I’m being a bit cheeky but I honestly do think humanity would be better off if we acknowledged that certain character flaws are fundamental to human nature, rather than pretending that there are “good” people and “bad” people.

bionicjoey,

Yeah it seems unreasonable to me that the Defiant and Enterprise D wouldn’t have totally different size Jeffries tubes considering how different in scale and function the two ships are.

bionicjoey,

This meme would be a lot funnier if you swapped Jadziya for Rom and changed nothing else

Edit: and also fixed the spelling of “capitalism”

bionicjoey,

Hey that ugly naked dog comes in a non-naked variety and they are cute as heck.

bionicjoey,

It’s almost like loudly announcing contempt for your userbase is not good for a website where virtually 100% of their value is derived from the loyalty of their users

bionicjoey,

The thing that gets me is that rif used to have a revenue sharing arrangement, which was axed when spez came in. He literally had a functional way of profiting off of third party apps and he threw it out.

bionicjoey,

Less repost bots. Seriously, I'm pretty sure 1/3 of posts I would see on Reddit were repost bots.
