While we are at it, let me share my secret: carrots as a snack (together with sports). Of course, this is not an exact recipe for success but it did work in my case and I’ve been surprised by it. I started training kickboxing again this summer, and I lost 4 kg in the first weeks, as expected. Because “we loose all the liquids”, or so I’m told. Anyway, I was weighting myself in the scale every now and then but I always kept the same weight. Then, suddenly, one day I was off another extra 7 kg… I was amazed. I haven’t weighted myself in a month. I couldn’t believe it (except that I already felt I was thinner, when touching my belly; and faster during the sport…) So, the a few days later I was talking to my mother and I told her how I’ve been coming from work, eat a carrot or two, and go straight to my training session. And that’s when it hit me… it was a matter of replacing cookies, fruit, or anything else I’ve been doing with carrots. Their crunchy really satiated me, so that after the sport I would eat a normal meal and not a bigger one (which I belive has been partially my problem so far too).

not an explanation but since we are talking about the greatness of corn, let me share this little fact: according to mesoamerican civilization (or, at leas the Mayas’ genesis) humans were made out of corn :)

PS. I couldn’t find a cleaner, high res. version and pictoline.com (listed there at the source) only has it in spanish. To make things even worse, there are many edited versions that replace nazis with other ideologies :/ f* the volatility of the internet… Oh. gotta search the internet archive… yeah, nope… not there either. Anyone can find a better version or knows the original source to this? else shall we try upscaling this JPG?

they could be spamming that webcomic that explains “the paradox of tolerance” by k. popper ;) it would be very fitting to the ongoing situation.

Yeah, I meant the latter: politically. Take my upvote :)

Ok, sure. But we should also consider the possibility that in this particular video all context is already displayed: pro-Palestine demonstration. This is the sad reality of the current political trend.

I thought I was agreeing with you for naïve comparisons between software products. But since you got into my example… I will have to say: from the problems you describe (like getting a signature by both management and HR), I barely see anything related to documentation of PostgreSQL (which was my point). And I struggle to see, for any of the issues you mentioned, how Windows SQL server is any easier. Plus, almost all organizations (Big and small) are using postgreSQL and not Windows SQL server.

Last but not the least, I can’t understand what you’re asking at the end: Does an “entrenched” anything sound “nimble” to you?

???

To be honest, open source and documentation (plus, chatGPT correct answers) are way more coupled in some open sorce projects than Windows and all their magic tricks, error codes, and so on. The fact that there is some sort of commercial support that is bigger or better with proprietary software (generally speaking) is true and partially because of network effect. I do agree with you. But I think it depends on what are we comparing… e.g. Windows SQL server vs. Docker PostgreSQL. I rather stay with Postgres, since it runs all over the world.

As a professional opinionator, I…

“If there’s any GOG in the room it should manifest physically right now”

The only truth in your statement is that I don’t need any dates. RStudio is my loyal waifu.

the number of posts is not that bad of a metric. you are confusing it with the number of comments, which would be correlated to the toxic behavior you just described. But, in general, the number of posts in any average community is a good metric for bringing content to the fediverse. If you know of any other metrics (better or worst) just tell… I don’t think there’s anything else. And a community needs posts more than anything. The comments may come and go, but I see them a bit as secondary/ accessory, and just a symptom of what’s going on within the community (in which case, we need to see if they’re constructive, positive, on topic, and so on.)

I always assumed that the toxicity is in the spores, so I second this…

so we all agree B5 is the best Trek ever? /s

Ah.

LMDE stands for “Linux Mint Debian Edition” and it was always a Linux mint based on Debian instead of Ubuntu. This article shouldn’t mention them at all.

same happened with anarchism. I bet someone will come reply to me, saying that anarchism is actually bad because it means “chaos” and “no laws”, yada yada.

Regardless of what many comments say, your feelings are completely valid. I’d be upset too. It’s not like your dad is doing anything monstrous, but it’s plain stupid (to say the least). Sometimes, love is that way. It lasts whatever is needed for the people involved to learn some stuff.

Be patient. Your support will be needed, sooner or later. Even if the relationship doesn’t end at all. There will be drawbacks. If you don’t feel up to the ‘task’, cool. It’s not an obligation. Just keep your distance from it.

Btw, 19 is a good age to start living with some frens. Perhaps a talk with your Dad is due… do not make it about this situation (or not exclusively). You deserve your own space. I believe the need for it can be something that was already in the works, and now you are getting ‘hit’ by everything altogether and all at once with this situation.

Good luck!

In Germany, all leftists have a lot of guilt… it’s their innermost engine. IMHO, it’s quite notable that around 60% of the left argues with a minority 40% using an argument that goes like “if you’re against the war in Gaza, then you’re borderline antisemitic.” And, in some cases, they just accuse you of being antisemitic “for being against the statehood of Israel”. They just interpret you as being against the statehood of Israel, extrapolating from what you say. They simplify the reality, e.g. they care shit about looking at maps through time, how the border has been moving… or the videos and other documents of the massacres and genocide. I still remember the voice of that child that was left alone in a car after a missile killed their parents (it’s a phone recording to 911). And I still remember the criminal missile that killed the rescue team that was going to get this child. But, most people just didn’t see this, or all the other stuff. Ignorance is too abundant. Sames goes for the right, though there the propaganda is way heavier leaning towards proactive denial of what’s happening.
