Less finite than earth’s natural resources amidst the unprecedented rapid deterioration and destruction of basically everything on earth sans colossal asteroid strikes? Trivial to …

I think instead of bending the knee to the idea of fatigue, it’s more important to accept that humans really are screwing up things on a massive scale faster than ever. Plastic str…

Publicly calling someone a rapist can very well get someone injured or killed. Unless you’re a victim whose pleas are being completely ignored by the legal system, it’s not justifi…

> I am going to a dance event regularly but so far nothing there and even then, I can't talk while I dance as I need to concentrate on getting the moves right (it's a well known st…

> In Japan, it is head-on-head as the most used social app with Line. This is my first time ever hearing of Zenly. Line is unavoidable. Instagram and Twitter trail it and Zenly is …

My blood pressure increased by 50% since getting covid 6 months ago and hasn’t come down since. It’s been stable all my life and shot up in the span of a month.

Mentioned that in my first comment. There’s perfectly good software out there. I’d rather get work done and use that, than spend forever trying to make sense of some mess of an anc…

The fact it’s been struggling to get widespread support for decades and there’s always someone complaining about the UI is a sign. Most people don’t even think about photoshop UI. …

Honestly, if there have been decades of efforts and it’s still this bad, that’s even less motivation to give them money. It’s like: if you’re a large manufacturer, would you prefer…

The UI is absolutely horrendous and despite decades of opportunity to fix it, there’s been zero attempt. Blender has made some big UI gains. I used it a long time ago, and the hidd…

Why the random mention of dolphins? The ones being hunted aren’t at risk of extinction. It’s not as bad as cattle farming, which is straight up destroying the environment in severa…

Then you have “I go home”, which drops not only “the” but “to”. Religious in nature? No. This was some truly bizarre reasoning based off one example and it has zero actual foundati…

I haven’t touched MS Office in about 10 years. Libreoffice and Apple’s equivalents have been perfectly fine for me. Some specialized cases require office, but for the typical docum…

Hence the point. If women don’t want kids, then that’s that.

40000 manuscripts over a period of centuries is very strange. That’d be less than a manuscript a day for the whole continent. I know literacy was low, but that’s just unreasonable.…

What are men morally supposed to do when women simply do not want kids? It’s not an issue of financial struggle since the trend is most pronounced in wealthy countries, especially …

Appendicitis is desirable now? I’m more out of touch with modern trends than I thought.

Being around kids all day isn’t fun. It’s stressful. Part of the job is appearing to be calm and approachable to the children and it absolutely wears out most people. It’s just lik…

You could support a shitload of artists with 30 million dollars.

Articles are mostly promo pieces. The artist’s press team sends some quotes they want writers to use, and they tweak the wording. Same with launch articles about any other content—…

1 is preference. 2 is something I haven’t experienced. I guess maybe you’re using low resolution monitors? I find Windows to be incredibly blurry or text painfully sharp. 3 is some…

Worth looking at Japan’s Toukaidou Shinkansen. The route could take a direct path from Tokyo to Nagoya to Osaka, being super fast and hitting up only the main cities. But it doesn’…

Olive oil actually isn’t a seed oil. It comes from the flesh of the olive. I was surprised to learn that myself recently.

Imagine telling poor Americans to just move to Guatemala to do poor people work since it’s not that different and you’ll realize how insane that sounds.

You can move wherever you want. But on a forum where people frequently talk about the harm humans do, I think advising people to move to an area that exists basically for people wh…
