I’ve taken trash to subway station a few times.

Yes and no, they are behaving like Azeris. This is not acceptable.

Well, my sister shared her recommendations with me and those featured using dark themes among other things.

And I get too emotionally tired of just using a light theme (or even a lighter dark theme).

So I think yes.

As an Other Place fan whose experience with trying to befriend Star Trek fans IRL has hit the tragic third - thank you for being reasonable. I’ve met some people pretending that the Other Place is “space wizards for children”, while Star Trek is “real science fiction”. While in fact they’re the same - for most part space magic and for the select few areas, yes, real science fiction.

In the end faulty security always gives edge to the stronger and more malicious side.

So if you want to protect the weak and allow people to defend themselves, you’d want such mechanisms to not be rigged for any abstract noble goal, because otherwise you are going to get fucked very practically.

Actually yes.

In my childhood it wasn’t very easy to find a licensed copy (TBF, even pirate copy sometimes), but demos would be distributed with magazines etc.

And after playing a demo which you like a licensed honestly bought copy becomes emotionally much better than piracy.

It was a working mechanism. For games which are not crap anyway.

Trying on 6GB. As a Linux user I usually don’t need more RAM, so haven’t added any yet.

You mean that sound of finger bones clicking against one another? Just have to clap sufficiently hard and fast.

oilets in India (and probably rest of Asia) are at ground level, with two porcelain blocks on either side to keep your feet on (the blocks are set into the ground and have a rough top; neither you nor they will slip). Most hotels will also have western toilets.

Also this was the most common kind in the USSR.

“Western” seats are something more luxury, may or may not (EDIT: back then, not now, though I haven’t been in really depressive parts) be present even in apartment bathrooms.

Just relaxing and knowing where your center of weight is helps.

(My practice is Moscow in early spring or late autumn days after everything melted and froze again.)

Common for everybody learning a language in an educational institution without RL practice. Immersion, of course, is the best way to learn a language, - gives good results even if you didn’t know it at all before being, eh, immersed.

Most of social media has been like this for me since forever, same with RL groups I don’t choose, like school or university, frankly.

Their intention is to value a separate person with their statement as little as possible (in extremes as little as themselves). Your comment isn’t supposed to be considered an individual thought, it’s supposed to go into predetermined classification, using some key words.

People with little brain power would simply feel themselves bad without such classification. While with it they can deceive themselves that their “yeah sure we believe you lol” is equivalent to a proper expression of your thought materialized in words.

Other than that, reading texts is a rare pastime for some.

they now just focus on key words and assume they have all the context they need.

In other words, any text around the keywords is supposed to just be a decoration. Because the purpose of a comment is to choose sides in their greens-vs-reds game, you are not supposed to convey any thoughts, what a thought even is again?..

Makes sense, I started feeling on the same wave with most of the humanity while reading the news somewhere around my 5th-6th grade.

No, I haven’t, I’ve addressed all in your comment worth addressing. Think again.

I mean, there’s no particular narrative in my comment - but there is one in yours.

So yeah, it’s not really as questionable as you make it seem.

I’d say you are arguing against something you’ve imagined. The subject your whole narrative is built around is touched in my comment by the following words: “life of a factory worker surely sucked”. And that’s it.

So you’ve basically illustrated this observation, I’ll quote myself:

I mean, there’s that problem with socialists - they like to call anything good in human history socialist or proto-socialist (the extreme case is Soviet history books for children with their descriptions of what was Spartacus’ rebellion or German peasant rebellions and so on).

Let me introduce you to FreeDOS!

MacOS has userland tools from some FreeBSD version (quite obsolete, IIRC). Also there’s a port of bhyve called xhyve for MacOS. Its kernel I wouldn’t expect to have much in common with BSDs.

I mean, real life recommendations are more often than not that too. I mean, ones you get asking friends.

Do you think any of these things are naturally occuring under a capitalist system?

Some of them did evolve, looking a bit differently. I mean soup kitchens, places for the poor to sleep (it didn’t look nice, I’m thinking late XIX and early XX centuries), sick leaves and vacations were sort of traditionally fine, work weeks, while being unregulated, weren’t necessarily longer than what we have, cause unregulated just means individual arrangement, and so on. Life of a factory worker surely sucked, yes.

It’s just questionable whether this social progress and labor protection laws are the same.
