I used Fedora for a year or two. Had some issues. Had a USB stick laying around with the latest version Mint. So just installed that instead. Both options are good, but Mint just worked perfectly out of the box. No Nvidia driver stuff either. I don’t have time to fix my OS, well… I don’t prioritise it. I know how, I just don’t want to.

No shame or issue in being fast. Just make an effort into making sure all parties are satisfied. It’s not that complicated. We have hands, mouths and can buy tools.

It’s also super cool that they had a productivity institute before. I wonder what we could have achieved with something like that today.

There are so many ways we could make society more efficient for everyone. Companies mostly focus on smaller issues for consumers, but society could have a more overarching look, and not focus on profits, but on quality of life and efficiency.

Another thing, I remember when I used to live in a house with a cat and a lot of rodents. Our traps killed a couple a week and our cat killed probably not far from a thousand rodents and birds. We could have protected our house more from animals, and we could have had the cat indoors. Somehow cats killing animals is socially accepted, the same goes for rodents in your house.

Exactly this, I am not trying to say that it is not allowed to have the opinion that this was distasteful. I just find it interesting how hard people judge this person. There are infinitely amounts of cognitive dissonance we all live with every day. It’s not really to judge people for eating meat, it’s more to point our that from a logical standpoint this person actually did not do something much more unethical. Kinda like the thing with the female politician who shot her dog. Which I personally feel is insane and a terrible thing to do, but at the same time dogs are kinda like pigs, and we kill them all the time just because we prefer pig meat over lentils, beans, rice etc.

He should not have. But we kill animals all the time simply for eating meat, because we think that tastes a bit better. We don’t need to inflict suffering on animals for years, we can abstain from meat. How are we more moral? Just because we outsource the killing? I so not condone his actions, just point out that we are not better.

Of course he should not have done this. What I am saying is that eating meat when we clearly don’t need to is also unnecessary killing. So he killed an animal for no good reason, and we kinda do the same. We have more ethical foods available for us, but we like the taste of meat, and don’t care enough about their suffering. Except for those that abstain from meat.

It’s not about morals that the seagulls can understand. It is not about teaching something. He acted like a moron and completely disproportionately. However it’s not that much unethical than killing for meat, when we don’t need to eat meat.

I know what you mean, it’s disproportionate as hell. I am just saying that we aren’t much better morally than him. Unless we abstain from meat.

What he did was wrong, a bit because of the animal and a lot because of the spectators. It did not suffer, it was quick. It does however feel a bit like cognitive dissonance to strongly disapprove of his actions, while we systematically without any good reason eat animals and have them in small confined areas for optimal meat production per sqm. Vegans and vegetarians however, they can judge him all they want 😉 I am not one of them

Wow, looks fantastic. It being open source as well is really exciting

You should check out the movie Hardcore Henry 😉

Not christian, but I would assume the cross is a reminder of Jesus dying for our sins.

It depends as most things. I think ultimately a divorce should make sure things are fair. Unless there was attempts to hide funds or something like that, the wealth acquired throughout the marriage should be split 50/50. A cheating spouse or anything like that is no reason for an uneven split. There should not be any additional financial pressure to stay in a marriage, than losing the advantage of having twice the wealth. (Bigger house etc)

If one party made more money than the other, still 50/50. That’s what is actually fair. A socialist/communist approach. Everyone knows deep in their heart, what is fair. Capitalism and wage differences already sucks, don’t bring it into the marriage and the divorce, especially if kids are involved.

If there is kids involved, then It is also extremely petty to try to cheat your spouse out of a fair deal during divorce. It’s the parent of your children for fucks sake!

Cheating sucks, but is not a reason to retaliate financially.

Edit: Alimony / Spousal support is one of the many ways to make things continue to be fair afterwards. I am positive if children is involved

To not support USA financially

I use Private Lock. It uses gyro to detect sudden movements and lock the phone based on that.

Remind people to seek help, when someone is “joking” about ending it all. There is help out there, and it’s worth an attempt, before doing something final and irreversible.

In many countries simply telling your doctor what you are considering will get you help.

If talking to a doctor might be a bad idea due to your profession or other reasons. Then talking with friends or family also might help.

Even if you gain citizenship, pay taxes, contribute and live there for many years? Then it’s not just their business, then it’s also my business?

But is a communist from the west moving to China considered to be someone with a negative or harmful political view? Or is it more in line with the general political view in the country, making a transition easier?

What do you mean about chauvinist communist parties? As in critical of China?

Oh, I was not thinking about intervention. I was not thinking about freebies, but they are in general positive to that political view?
