I think about this often, and for me its a hard thing to let somebody I love go. If there’s a chance I’d keep holding on- come as often as I can, read and so on. Unless I was told explicitly that they wouldn’t want that. But even then, people change their minds. Like in the article, some people in non verbal states can communicate that they are happy enough. Heart wrenching stuff.

What a nothing burger of an article. Worthless and probably written by AI.

Ah, I see now. Bummer

Live to fight another day. Its a process. Appreciate the little wins in life my man.

I you bother to open the article and only just look under the header you will see also:

“The ag manufacturing giant will also make digital diagnostic, maintenance, and repair tools available to third parties for 10 years.”

Which is a big deal for right to repair if you’ve followed this issue at all.

Mamdani for president

Better yet, let’s get info on all of ICE and put every single one in jail.

Seems like everyone forgets their civics class but voting for a president is not the place to make your voices heard for issues.

You’ll typically have the top three choices: A democrat A republican A throwaway third choice

For most it will be voting for the lesser evil. Because the alternatives can mean rapid stagflation, war in the middle east, supporting paedophiles, and a myriad of other problems, while the other is essentially maintaining the status quo.

For proper change you have to organize locally, vote for local elections and keep pushing your representatives to represent you throughout the year. By the time primaries come around, typically candidates are already known figures and the party points are gathered from data throughout the year.

Honestly, after a certain point I feel like all the posts about people saying they would rather not vote at all despite the two distinct choices are some sort of psyops campaign to bring chaos to the world.

I can’t wrap my head around people seriously being more okay with this criminal in office than an imperfect candidate.

To properly answer this question one must look inwardly. To do that one should follow these steps:

1. Stop using social media
2. Explore your interests
3. Support yourself financially
4. Find a way to incorporate healthy food into your diet
5. Exercise regularly
6. Go out and meet people
7. Make friends with people who will support you

Then ask yourself: ‘Is looksmaxxing still relevant?’

Bold to assume Russia can survive the putinship.

Yep, says so in the article too. I think the difference is the scale of it.

I suppose if were talking about people just being selfish assholes then yeah I feel what you’re saying. My only gripe is comparing economic outcomes of very different countries with different historical context.

I’m not convinced by your comparison to Russia and China. I don’t think either of them really have anything to do with Reagan or Thatcher. I dislike them but I think their influence outside the western world is minimal.

The privatization of Russia was done before the soviet union even collapsed and was just wealth being consolidated under a different system by those in power. There was never a free market.

China was able to become the powerhouse because in the 90s Deng Xiaoping eased communist policies to allow private businesses and they entered the WTO. Even so, there has never been a free market in China either.

Otherwise, I don’t disagree.

That’s fucked up. Thanks data centers!

I’d take giving all his money away to the survivors

That’s awesome! I’ve been wanting to play a game like disco for so long now.

The only thing these dirt bags listen to are investors.

The longer I look at it the more funny I think it is, but in a sad depressing kind of way.

It’s the grotesque representation of the hatred of programmers. Execs want to replace expensive software developers at all costs and non programmers look at software devs as lazy and overpaid, who don’t do a real job.

Or the alternative: “Pretty fly for a draenei”

There are loaders for arm devices. They may not be typical bootloaders like for computers but they’re not all that different. Like tow-boot or u-boot.
