The transition from the holiday season back to the normal drudgery is so depressing. Is there any way to make Jan / Feb less depressing?

like, it’s still dark at 5pm, there are barely any sports on, still bitterly cold and austere and it hurts to go outside, but you’re not even looking forward to christmas or the new year. the new year is here, and it’s largely the same as last year. except you’re getting older.

xkforce,

You dont need permission to make a day special op

xkforce,

We have a specific driver for reading and writing to ntfs for a reason.

xkforce,

Why do you think anyone bothered to write a ntfs driver if you could read and write to ntfs without it? Why do you think windows cant read ext4? What do you think file systems are?

xkforce,

Theyd need a ntfs driver to do anything. If you try to do what you are suggesting without one, bad things happen. Unless that part of the partition isn’t ntfs formatted.

Wed rather deal with the formula and/or structure itself tbh.

xkforce,

The article (and what I can access of the paper it is based on) doesn’t really give any details as to what this class is, how it works etc. All the interesting parts about this aren’t mentioned.

xkforce,

I get what they did (its been something a lot of groups have been wanting to do for years) but I am curious what molecule specifically they found that worked especially well. i.e What does this thing look like? What is the new antibiotic’s mechanism of action? None of those latter details are discussed. Its something we can only guess at.

Warning: it tastes like grapefruit flavored floor cleaner

xkforce,

Oof no one tell op what happened to Porthos.

xkforce,

The genetic engineering ban always rubbed me the wrong way. Like… these people claim to as Picard put it, have “more evolved sensibilities” or whatever where revenge, greed and racism are a thing of the past and time and time again we see that the federation basically baked racism into their laws. The way Bashir and Una were treated after it was found out they had been genetically altered says everything. It wasn’t even Bashir’s decision and the federation went after him. Genetic alteration was part of Una’s culture and she was roasted for that despite the federation claiming to be tolerant of other cultures… until theyre not. Theres an entire episode about what happened when Una’s people removed these alterations just to die for it. Or turn into techno ghosts idk. And Pike basically says the quiet part out loud more or less saying he tolerates her because she is “one of the good ones.” Which is what a lot of racists do. They’ll dismiss entire ethnic groups then turn around and say "oh no not you, you’re one of the good ones. Its all the other dirty (insert ethnic slur here) that are the problem.

I get what the rationalization for the ban is but in reality it is racism. It is racism that is rationalized because of bad prior experiences like much of racism is. i.e people looking for reasons to hate, exclude and persecute entire groups of people. "I was jumped in an alley by someone of (insert ethnicity here) and therefore all members of that ethnicity are violent is a logical fallacy as the entire argument just like the federation being dicks to anyone that was genetically altered because of what Khan did.

xkforce,
  1. There is nothing stopping you from making that change now. Waiting until the 1st is an indication that you probably wont follow through.
  2. Goals should be doable, measurable, have specific steps and have a specific end point.

All living or once living things have protein in them. Tea is no exception.

If you think food magically doesnt have any contamination with bugs etc. elsewhere I have some ocean front property in Wyoming to sell you.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

xkforce, (edited )

An appeal to nostalgia is a claim that more or less boils down to “things were better in the past.”

The NES era has a special place in my heart because those were basically the first games I played and those stick with you. But… I am not about to claim that modern equivalents aren’t as good. And I don’t feel the need to prove otherwise because I know that it isn’t their objective quality or lack thereof that made them special to me. So the question is why is it so important to you that you can “prove” the PS2 era 3d platformers were objectively superior? Are you going to suddenly flip a switch in your head that changes your opinion of them if someone manages to “prove” otherwise?

AND you have to keep in mind that you are more likely to remember good games and forget mediocre ones. There is a bias toward older games being thought of as being better because most of the garbage ended up being lost to time. Today’s stinkers are still fresh on everyones’ mind.

xkforce,

Someone needs to teach these people how to make a button on their phone that is linked to a bookmark

xkforce,

Well yeah the twat businessman realized that was the only way to peel this guy away from his effective retirement and into a cubicle where the rich thinks he belongs.

xkforce, (edited )

This reminds me of a story about a fisherman and some twat businessman out on some tropical island. Fisherman dude just fishes a bit and rests on the beach, never making much money and the businessman tells him he could make a lot more money toiling in some other job for decades and the fisherman asks him what the point is and he says “well eventually youll have enough saved up to be able to retire to a tropical island…” and just lists off stuff the fisherman is already doing.

xkforce,

Turns out it was the milk man all along

xkforce,

I have been coughing to the point that I throw up. Merry Christmas.

Why do people not understand that you can agree with one thing someone said or did while disagreeing with the majority of what they stand for? (www.youtube.com)

An example is that I generally despise Jordan Peterson and most of what he says, but I often quote one thing that Jordan Peterson said (in the linked video) because I think it’s a good summary of why toxic positivity doesn’t work....

xkforce,

Because that lobster has no original thoughts. Whatever insight you think he has is not unique to him and the fact that you choose to watch his content and quote him without knowing any alternative is going to make people ask questions.

xkforce,

Idk drilling peoples’ teeth and whatnot sounds like a warrior’s work in a way.

xkforce,

I remember being small enough that I took baths in the kitchen sink. And I remember exactly how uncomfortable that was.
