I really want to live in the alternate reality conservatives live in. How can you live your life and create problems and scenarios like they do? Boredom? Poor mental health? Insecurities??
Like us trans people are just here, trying to exist and live our lives.
The religion part is really sad because my entire family is very catholic and they don’t mind me being trans at all. They keep telling me the Bible preaches love and acceptance, happiness etc. Oh well 🤷
Learn to sew from patterns and get a 2nd hand sewing machine, best decision of my life. You can google free patterns, and if you get your hands on a digital sewing machine you can literally automate it.
It’s almost like an economic system that purports itself as a fair system that rewards hard work regularly reveals itself to be arbitrary and rewards those that already have more often than not.
The system rewards value. The core piece that seems unfair is that anything digital in infinitly duplicatible.
If I make furniture, and it takes me a week to make a dresser, then I can sell one dresser a week. If I’m a programmer, and it takes me one year to make a game, I can sell infinity games a week. Same with video content.
The system rewards ownership, and owners sometimes are forced to distribute some value back to the creators of value to get that reward. Sometimes owners are forced to or benefit from sharing some ownership (like in the case of IP on YouTube).
It’s not unique to software, though the potential to infinitely copy software makes the relationship starker. For example owning a parcel of land is similar to owning a peice of IP, in that the creation/purchase potentially happens once, and rent can be extracted over time from everyone who utilizes it. The number of renters you can fit on a peice of software is theoretically infinite, but in practice limited by the number of potential customers, the availability of their attention, and your distribution Infrastructure, while the number of renters you can fit on a parcel of land is limited by its size and the structures on it.
Note that most owners did not personally create and do not personally develop what they own. Most software is not owned by programmers (who often make good money, but nowhere near the rent that is extracted from that software), and most homes are not owned by builders (who sometimes can’t afford the homes they build). It’s ownership which is primarily rewarded, and which spawns most further ownership.
The don’t speed part definitely depends on the other drivers.
If you’re going slower than everyone else all you are is another obstacle they have to avoid. If you’re not comfortable keeping with the flow of traffic find another route.
I feel like following the flow of traffic is more accurate. If the entire freeway is going 5 or 10 over then it’s safer to do that than go slower compared to everyone
They made it worse even. I had to deal with a friend’s Windows 11 computer the other day and it looks like even if you enable showing file extensions, it will still hide them if you go to rename the file (you know, the reason you’d usually want to enable it for). There’s probably still a way to make them show all the time but this was over a voice call so I didn’t want to mess around with it too much. Absolutely unusable.
I think it’s actually gotten worse among Millenials and Gen Z. I teach chemistry at a college, and half of my students don’t understand how folders work, let alone a file extension.
A few years ago, I had to tell someone to convert some pictures since they took them in .heic and being able to see them wasn’t standard. Their response was to manually change the file extension on each of hundreds of files from .heic to .jpeg.
Worst is C code where people don’t specify what version there useing or they use features or functions from third party libraries they don’t include in the awnser when they post code (they post code with custom functions without pointing out it’s from an obscure git repo that requires a 1:1 ide setup).
And sometimes people posts code that appears to fix the problem but will end up causing massive code refractoring later
My favorite limewire nostalgic memory is downloading a song, opening it up in WinAmp and hearing Bill Clinton say
