  • putting it within the context of a particular life choice adds a layer of focus to the conversation.

    It won’t create a very interesting debate though, because OP already excluded most people who followed through on the opposing view in the question itself.

    This extra layer of focus really functions as a filter, which can only result in a hall of mirrors.

    It’s perfectly fine if OP just wanted to confirm an existing bias and need arguments for that, but it’s absolutely not a very interesting conversation.




  • “Ding ding ding!” When someone agrees with something you wrote, but wants to make sure that you know that they already knew and claim ownership of the statement that you wrote. Condesending asshole. I did not arrive at your opinion late.

    “Meanwhile” in cooking recipes. Just no. I am following a recipe in stepwise order. You do not get to tell me what I should have already done in the previous step.




  • I hope that lesson was taught last time. Those that didn’t learn it then are unlikely to learn it if he should win again.

    I believe that there were many people who voted for Trump in 2016 because of the reasons you mention. I get it. Sometimes it’s necessary to destroy something to build something new. Give the world a kick in the balls instead of keeping patching the broken status quo.

    Trump is just not the guy to do it. While he did destroy a lot of shit last time, he didn’t actually clear the ground for a new building.

    You know what would be more disruptive than watching an old geezer shit on the carpet a second time? You know what would piss off a lot of people?

    Electing a woman as president.










  • Yes, for some things. Some tasks are better done summarized. Cleaning generally isn’t, because it easily conflicts with other tasks when not done.

    I’m a rather busy family man, so if I have 20 minutes to cook a meal for the family before I have to drive someone somewhere it can really mess up the entire day schedule if the sink is full of dishes and the trash bin is topped up with unsorted garbage. So I try to be on top of it for my own sake. “Keep the tools sharp” goes for everything, even a diaper supply.



  • I doubt that’s deliberate (it’s probably depending on some other task or shit that you don’t even intend to use), but it’s exactly the kind of bloat that turns people away from Windows.

    Windows seems to work alright for my work pc, where I’m constantly logged into their cloud, newer switch users, logged in long enough daily to get all the updates and have IT to roll out stuff, so I hardly ever have issues there.

    My personal computer is a different thing. I have several users, use it about once weekly, making it basically unbootable. As soon as I open the lid, Microsoft starts bugging me to do a shit load of things and download gigabytes of crap that Microsoft, and not I, needs me to do before I can even use it. More often than not I simply close the lid again.

    It’s not unusual to meet people who don’t even have a pc these days. Most people can solve their daily stuff on any cell phone browser. I find it kinda amusing that Microsoft is pushing people that way.
