Wicked smaht. And generally good genes - no family illnesses or anything.

It was lying right there

OOP was an oopsie.

There’s a significant emotional and mental difference between giving $100 to buy mosquito nets and directly helping resolve a topical conflict within a tribe you’re a part of. A lot of effort (on both sides) goes into bridging that gap.

So yes, absolutely do the good things you can at a distance. But also don’t be disappointed when that doesn’t make you feel better.

(And yes, I wasn’t very clear about that in my original point. Good job and thank you for making+helping me clarify)

Humanity is now cursed with knowing every bit of horror that happens all around the globe. 200 years ago you might only find out about atrocities months or years after they happened, if at all. It was much clearer then that there was literally nothing you could do about them. Nowadays if you want to throw your life away you can just buy a plane ticket to Ukraine. So now we’re being much more regularly faced with terrible things we’re not prepared to deal with happening somewhere.

And the truth is still that there is not really anything significant we can do. If it was happening in our backyard we might fight, but there’s only so many backyards and only so much room for foolishly selfless people to lay down their lives.

The weirdness you’re feeling is not a moral failing, but rather the strangeness of a world we’re not built for. As much as I and you might feel for any given fight or issue, the 99% of them are not our business, and it’s not morally expected of us to get involved. Lots of religions and moral frameworks and feelings say otherwise. Forget them.

So a commune?

Don’t drink the bird milk

Yes

When did the crypto bubble end? Bitcoin is at an all time high…

So that it’s easy to see that there’s a little bit of snow on it as it melts and know it might be slippery.

It’s going to be a really shit 4 years. There could be a point of no return anytime along that based on a variety of issues, but IMO the most likely point of no return is if/when Trump moves to take a third term in '28. If that happens it’s clearly dead no hope.

For a first step you can get away with just add, commit, push, and pull. Maybe reset, but tbh using git like svn at first is fine.

Next branch, checkout and merge. At this point show, log, bisect and blame also start to be useful.

I’m not a fan of stash, and would instead recommend reflog and cherry-pick as the first two advanced commands to learn. Then rebase and squash.

In fact we do know that there’s someone else in the room - otherwise who is the old man talking to?

For people organizing protests and taking part in them, Maybe to Likely.

For people just posting things online, Very unlikely. They’ll have their hands full with all the immigrants and protesters first, and there’s far too many people who have said something leftist online.

Because it’s buried in that Wikipedia article:

Not a paradox. Tolerance is better viewed as a social contract - it’s not owed to those who don’t practice it themselves.

If only it were so simple

21% of American adults are illiterate.

A significant fraction of America is illiterate. 21% or 1/5. Yeah.

No way he’s 62

Exactly. That’s why I refuse to do algebra.
